A study towards improving mechanical properties of sol–gel coatings for polycarbonate by Wu, Linda Y. L., Zeng, X. T., Chwa, Edmund, Chen, Zhong

“…It is found that the pencil scratch failure contains a gouge failure under the static pressure and a film cracking failure under the sliding of the pencil tip. The gouge failure is due to the early plastic deformation in the substrate, while the film cracking is due to the tensile stress in the film induced by the sliding and friction of the pencil tip. …”

Performance of sideslip perching maneuver with an adaptive gain control feature by Feroskhan, Mir, Go, Tiauw H.

“…This paper seeks to extend the convergence area related to the initial perching launch points and enhance the stability of the sideslip perching maneuver by formulating an adaptive gain sliding mode control technique. Based on a reference optimal sideslip trajectory generated by an optimization model, a comparative study between the proposed adaptive controller and a nominal sliding mode controller is carried out to evaluate their performances under different scenarios such as varying initial spatial and state conditions with induced state perturbations along the perching maneuver and dynamic stall uncertainties.…”
