An Integral Formulation of Two-Parameter Fatigue Crack Growth Model by Jianguo Wu, Shan Jiang, Wei Zhang, Zili Wang

“…A two-parameter fatigue crack growth algorithm in integral form is proposed, which can describe the continuous crack growth process over the time period. In this model, the fatigue crack propagation behavior is governed by the temporal crack-tip state including the current applied load and the physical condition due to the previous load sequence. …”

Multiagent Reinforcement Learning-Based Taxi Predispatching Model to Balance Taxi Supply and Demand by Yongjian Yang, Xintao Wang, Yuanbo Xu, Qiuyang Huang

“…Different from other methods of scheduling taxis based on the real-time location of orders, our model first predicts the demand for taxis in different regions in the next period and then dispatches taxis in advance to meet the future requirement; thus, the number of taxis needed and available in different regions can be balanced. …”

Primary quantum thermometry of mm-wave blackbody radiation via induced state transfer in Rydberg states of cold atoms by Noah Schlossberger, Andrew P. Rotunno, Stephen P. Eckel, Eric B. Norrgard, Dixith Manchaiah, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Alexandra B. Artusio-Glimpse, Samuel Berweger, Matthew T. Simons, Dangka Shylla, William J. Watterson, Charles Patrick, Adil Meraki, Rajavardhan Talashila, Amanda Younes, David S. La Mantia, Christopher L. Holloway

“…With this detection method, we measure the associated blackbody-radiation-induced time dynamics of these states, reproduce the results with a simple semiclassical population transfer model, and demonstrate that this measurement is temperature sensitive with a statistical sensitivity to the fractional temperature uncertainty of 0.09 Hz^{−1/2}, corresponding to 26 K Hz^{−1/2} at room temperature. …”

Identification and correction of phase delay errors for hemispherical resonator gyroscopes by Youhuan Ning, Changhong Wang, Boqi Xi, Zhen Tian, Boda Zhang

“…Then, the angular rate signal is demodulated and calculated to obtain the phase-delay error of the system, which is employed as the compensation value of the reference phase of the PLL to offset the phase-delay error of the circuit system in real-time. The experimental results demonstrate that after the phase-delay error is self-calibrated, the zero-bias output error of the gyroscope is reduced by 5 times, the bias instability is improved by 37.7%, and the self-calibration method of the phase-delay error presented is more strongly robust to temperature changes.…”
