Back-illuminated Light-spot-mapping Algorithm for Dual Rotation Robotic Fiber Positioners Based on an Artificial Probability Potential Field Method by Yingfu Wang, Jiahao Zhou, Ziming Liu, Rongfeng Chen, Jiacheng Xie, Hongzhuan Hu, Jianping Wang, Zhigang Liu, Jiaru Chu, Feifan Zhang, Haotong Zhang, Yong Zhang, Zengxiang Zhou

“…The back-illuminated images captured by the FVC show thousands of small light spots, each only hundreds of microns in size, randomly distributed on a completely black background, making accurate one-to-one mapping to the actual RFP positions highly challenging due to the lack of additional RFP features. This study constructs an artificial probability potential field to calculate the likelihood of each light spot appearing in the patrol area of an RFP, employing a global probability potential energy optimization method to establish the optimal mapping relationship. …”

Investigation of Free Vibration Behavior for Composite Sandwich Beams with a Composite Honeycomb Core by Zainab Majid Jasim, Husam Jawad Abdulsamad

“…The face sheets of the composite beams are made from a polyester or epoxy matrix reinforced with glass fiber, carbon fiber, and hybrid fiber, and the core is a honeycomb consisting of random glass fibers immersed in a resin matrix (polyester or epoxy). 22 composite sandwich beams were constructed to conduct vibration testing. The vibration results obtained experimentally were compared to the ANSYS R1 2022 software, and the results were in very good agreement. …”
