Thermal-Mechanical Optimization of Folded Core Sandwich Panels for Thermal Protection Systems of Space Vehicles by Chen Zhou, Zhijin Wang, Paul M. Weaver

“…A one-dimensional (1D) thermal model based on a modified form of the rule of mixtures was established, while a three-dimensional (3D) model was adopted for linear static analyses. Parametric models were generated to facilitate a design of experiment (DOE) study, and approximate models using radial basis functions were obtained to carry out the optimization process. …”

Fundamental limits to the generation of highly displaced bright squeezed light using linear optics and parametric amplifiers by Steve M. Young, Daniel Soh

“…We explore the nature and extent of these trade-offs specific to each mechanism and identify the optimal operation modes for each. Finally, we identify the conditions for minimum-uncertainty squeezing in arbitrary parametric amplifying systems and show that displacing the output signal will in general violate these conditions, adding noise and degrading squeezing.…”

Hybrid-Driven Dynamic Position Prediction of Robot End-Effector Integrating Parametric Dynamic Model and Machine Learning by Hepeng Ni, Cong Xu, Yingxin Ye, Bo Chen, Shuangsheng Luo, Shuai Ji

“…Accurate dynamic model and response prediction of industrial robots (IRs) are prerequisites for production optimization before actual operation. In this study, a hybrid-driven dynamic position prediction (HDPP) approach integrating a parametric dynamic model (PDM) and learning-based residual error compensators (RECs) is developed to estimate the actual position of a robot end-effector based on the reference input trajectory. …”
