Non-Hermitian extension of the Haldane model induced by non-reciprocal hopping by Law, Yi Khing

“…In the presence of non-Hermiticity however, there is a failure of the correspon- dence between the bulk and the boundary which is attributed to the non-Hermitian skin effect. The report concludes with a depiction of the non-Hermitian skin effect in the form of a square geometry under open boundary conditions.…”

Free vibration properties of beetle elytron plate: Composite material, stacked structure and boundary conditions by Song, Yiheng, Hao, Ning, Ruan, Sihan, He, Chaochao, Quanjin, Ma

“…The results indicate that 1) the ranking of structural parameters on the 1st order frequency from a strong to weak sequence is as follows: length-to-width ratio, core height-to-thickness ratio, foam density and skin thickness; for the 2nd order natural frequency: length-to-width ratio, skin thickness, foam density and core height-to-thickness ratio. 2) Generally, an increase in the length-to-width ratio will reduce the frequency of the BEP, and increases in the core height-to-thickness ratio and skin thickness will raise its frequency. …”

Investigation on the braking characteristics of tractor-trailer on jackknifing by Gan, Zhilong

“…The results show that when the wheels remains in rolling motion, the brake input needs to be sufficient enough so as to inhibit the translational motion of the vehicle as well as work against the trailer swing motion or tractor spin-out. On the other hand, when the wheels are in sliding motion, the effective braking force exerted on the wheels is reduced and therefore increases the chance of jackknifing again. …”

A novel approach to designing a guitar distortion effects pedal by Zheng, Luka

“…This was first done by overdriving the tube amplifier beyond its linear region, creating a harmonic distortion characteristic that is dominant in the 2nd harmonics, and changing to odd harmonic distortion as the output voltage swing is limited by the rail voltage. Guitar distortion pedals today seek to recreate the same sound effect of an overdriven tube amplifier with the use of nonlinear I-V characteristics of diodes. …”
