Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Cars in Low-Structured and Unstructured Environments: A Systematic Review by Cristiano Souza de Oliveira, Rafael De S. Toledo, Vitor H. Tulux Oliveira Victorio, Aldo von Wangenheim

“…In particular, we highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the local planning approaches and discuss and identify common limitations, such as sensor faults, terrain variations, safety and regulatory risks. Moreover, we summarize the most adopted visual input sensors, their associated data structures that are used as search spaces for local planning, and sensor fusion techniques, which complement the advantages of different types of sensors. …”

Development of a Frequency-Adjustable Tuned Mass Damper (FATMD) for Structural Vibration Control by Huaguo Gao, Congbao Wang, Chen Huang, Wenlong Shi, Linsheng Huo

“…The tuned mass damper (TMD) can be applied to suppress earthquake, wind, and pedestrian- and machine-induced vibration in factory buildings or large span structures. However, the traditional TMD with a fixed frequency will not be able to perform effectively against the frequency variations in multiple hazards. …”

Characterization of the translational shear properties of the magnetorheological elastomers embedding the tilt chain-like structure by Lin Dezhao, Gong Di, Yang Fan, Li Ruihong, Zhang Weiqiang

“…The results illustrate that compared with the isotropic MREs and anisotropic MREs with symmetrical chain-like structures, the anisotropic MREs with the tilt chain-like structure can provide more significant variations in the average storage and loss moduli with a slight effect on the zero-field viscoelastic properties, and it exhibits higher frequency and strain dependencies. …”
