Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…It was found that the two bond properties were close to those of plain concrete in the quasi-static regime and showed significant dynamic enhancing effect at a loading rate of 20 mm/s. …”

Low-power high-performance SAR ADC with redundancy and digital error-correction by Sharma, Sunny

“…The demands for data converters have soared in the last decade with the boom in consumer electronics, smart devices, autonomous vehicles, and automotive segments. The current trend among Nyquist-rate data converters, for example successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADC), tends towards high speeds and medium-to-high resolution. …”

Design of a supply- and temperature-invariant capacitive sensor interface for low power applications by Arup Kocheethra George

“…Most importantly, the CDC should operate in an ultra-low power regime. Since the full-scale capacitance change of practical capacitive sensors is limited, the CDC has to achieve sensing resolutions of several femto-farads. …”

Near-IR and mid-IR (1.55 μm – 2 μm) silicon photonics devices on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform by Zhang, Zecen

“…Furthermore, the mid-infrared (MIR, 2-15 μm) band is also very crucial as many gases and molecules have unique absorption fingerprints in this regime. Hence there is enormous interest in practical realization of passive and optoelectronic devices operating in the MIR range, including optical sensing and environmental monitoring, free-space communications, bio-medical and thermal imaging. …”

Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…With the 1.5-sided model, a regular non-rupture stable pattern is found in the Rayleigh–Taylor unstable layer due to local evaporation and condensation in the diffusion-limited regime. This is in sharp contrast to the prediction of the one-sided model without the convective and diffusive effects of vapor, where local rupture always occurs in finite time. …”

Visualization of engine design, simulation and optimization by Wang, Yan Chao

“…Starting from a new distance function and neighborhood relationship between sites, we divide the space by axis-aligned segments. Then a sweepline+skyline based heuristic algorithm is proposed to allocate the partitioned spaces to form an orthogonal Voronoi diagram with orthogonal rectangles. …”

Synthesizing photorealistic images with deep generative learning by Zheng, Chuanxia

“…To achieve this goal, a new pipeline is presented that interleaves the two tasks of instance segmentation and scene completion through multiple iterations, solving for objects in a layer-by-layer manner. …”

Discrete differential geometry driven methods for architectural geometry by Yao, Sidan

“…We then trace integral curves with a rounding strategy to encourage them to go through mesh vertices, which can effectively reduce the number of short segments. Finally, we partition the triangle mesh along the integral curves to extract the quadrilateral patches. …”
