A Novel Perspective on Reliable System Design With Erlang Failures and Realistic Constraints for Incomplete Switching Mechanisms
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 26 May 2023)This study focuses on effectively designing reliable systems. Such systems are capable of withstanding failure events by applying multiple realistic workarounds. These workarounds include allocating redundancy, component ... -
Simulation-based analyses and improvements of the smart line management system in canned beverage industry: A case study in Europe
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 31 January 2024)Canned water is one of the thriving markets in the food and beverage industry. Given the tight competition in this market, realistic analysis in such production lines has become even more attractive for all participating ... -
A rapid-response soft end effector inspired by the hummingbird beak
(The Royal Society, 4 September 2024)Biology is a wellspring of inspiration in engineering design. This paper delves into the application of elastic instabilities—commonly used in biological systems to facilitate swift movement—as a power-amplification mechanism ... -
The Impact of LIDAR‐Assisted Pitch Control on Floating Offshore Wind Operational Expenditure
(Wiley, 31 August 2024)Floating offshore wind (FOW) is a renewable energy source that is set to play an essential role in addressing climate change and the need for sustainable development. However, due to the increasing threat of climate ... -
3D printing soft robots integrated with low-melting-point alloys
(AccScience Publishing, 4 September 2024)Soft robots are developed and applied in aspects such as grasping delicate objects. Their inherent flexibility also enables applications that are unattainable by humans, especially those in life-threatening environments. ...
