Exceptional-point-based accelerometers with enhanced signal-to-noise ratio

Submitted by Ramathasan The… on

Exceptional points (EP) are non-Hermitian degeneracies where eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors coalesce. Recently, EPs have attracted attention as a means to enhance the responsivity of sensors, through the abrupt resonant detuning occurring in their proximity. In many cases, however, the EP implementation is accompanied by noise enhancement, leading to the degradation of the sensor’s performance.

A coupled phase field formulation for modelling fatigue cracking in lithium-ion battery electrode particles

Submitted by Emilio Martíne… on

Dear iMechanicians - I hope this is of interest. We develop a model for predicting fatigue cracking in lithium-ion battery electrode particles. Existing models were limited to simulating one half charge cycle.

Postdoc position at the Physical AI (PAI) Lab

Submitted by Aslan Miriyev on

The PAI Lab is seeking a Senior Postdoc for a fully funded position (work location in Israel).
As a senior postdoc in the PAI Lab, you will lead multidisciplinary research toward creating soft robotic systems possessing physical AI. Specifically, you will work at the nexus of functional matter, processing, design, and manufacturing to develop material-based actuator-sensor-control loops for soft robots with learning-based control.
