Aerodynamic Performance of a Passive Pitching Model on Bionic Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles by Jinjing Hao, Jianghao Wu, Yanlai Zhang

“…In this bionic passive pitching model, the wing root is equivalent to a torsional spring. α obtained by solving the coupled dynamic equation is similar to that of insects and exhibits a unique characteristic with two oscillated peaks during the middle of the upstroke/downstroke under the interaction of aerodynamic, torsional, and inertial moments. …”

Flaky sputtered silicon MWCNTs core-shell structure as a freestanding binder-free electrode for lithium-ion battery by Seyed Ali Hoseini, Shams Mohajerzadeh, Zeinab Sanaee

“…The use of the PECVD technique and the direct growth of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the current collector creates a low tortuosity, flexible, and conductive scaffold, which, in addition to preventing CNT agglomeration, alleviates the pulverization and delamination of the silicon active material from the current collector, leading to the formation of an electrode with unique electrochemical performance. The CNT-Si core-shell electrode can achieve an excellent gravimetric specific capacity of 3250 mAh/g under a rate of C/5 and 99.8% capacity retention after more than 700 cycles. …”
