Polymer‐free,low tension graphene mechanical resonators

Graphene resonators are fabricated using a polymer‐free, direct transfer method onto metal reinforced holey carbon grids. The resonators are distinguished by the absence of organic residues and excellent crystallinity. The normal mode frequencies are measured using a Fabry–Perot technique; resonance curves indicate highly linear behaviour but very little built‐in strain, which is consistent with device geometry examined by atomic force microscopy. We conclude that the oscillators' restoring force is due instead to graphene's intrinsic bending rigidity; our measurements indicate a value of approximately 1.0 eV, consistent with previous theoretical and experimental work.

Robust trajectory tracking control for a laboratory helicopter

This paper presents a robust nonlinear control strategy to deal with the trajectory tracking control problem for a laboratory helicopter. The helicopter model is considered as a nominal one with uncertainties such as unmodeled nonlinear dynamics, parametric uncertainties, and external disturbances. The proposed control approach incorporates the feedback linearization technique (FLT) and the signal compensation technique. The FLT is first applied to achieve the linearization of the nominal nonlinear model for reducing the conservation of the robust compensator design. A nominal controller based on the linear quadratic regulation method is designed for the linearized nominal system, whereas a robust compensator is introduced to restrain the influences of the uncertainties. It is shown that the trajectory tracking errors of the closed-loop system are ultimately bounded, and the boundaries can be specified by choosing the controller parameters. Simulation and experimental results on the lab helicopter verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Positive eigenvalue-eigenvector of nonlinear positive mappings

We show that an （eventually） strongly increasing and positively homogeneous mapping T defined on a Banach space can be turned into an Edelstein contraction with respect to Hilbert＇s projective metric. By applying the Edelstein contraction theorem, a nonlinear version of the famous Krein- Rutman theorem is presented, and a simple iteration process {T^kx/｜｜T^kx｜｜} （ x ∈ P^＋） is given for finding a positive eigenvector with positive eigenvalue of T. In particular, the eigenvalue problem of a nonnegative tensor A can be viewed as the fixed point problem of the Edelstein contraction with respect to Hilbert＇s projective metric. As a result, the nonlinear Perron-Frobenius property of a nonnegative tensor A is reached easily.     

Spectroscopic characteristics of Yb3+-doped Li3Ba2Y3(WO4)8 crystal

This paper reports the spectroscopic properties of Yb³⁺:Li₃Ba₂Y₃(WO₄)₈ crystal. The polarized spectral properties of Yb³⁺:Li₃Ba₂Y₃(WO₄)₈ crystal were investigated. The laser performance parameters β_min, I_sat and I_min of Yb³⁺:Li₃Ba₂Y₃(WO₄)₈ crystals have been also established. Yb³⁺:Li₃Ba₂Y₃(WO₄)₈ crystal has a broad FWHM of the gain cross-section and larger absorption and emission cross-sections. These results may regard the Yb³⁺:Li₃Ba₂Y₃(WO₄)₈ crystal as a tunable laser material.

In vivo degradation behavior of Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite coated Mg-Zn-Ca alloy for bone implant application

In present paper, an in vivo study was carried out on uncoated and calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (Ca-def HA) coated Mg-Zn-Ca alloy to investigate the effect of Ca-def HA coating on the degradation behavior and bone response of magnesium substrate. Magnesium alloy rods were implanted into rabbit femora and evaluated during 24 weeks implantation. The characterization of both implants indicates that in vivo degradation of the Ca-def HA coating and magnesium substrate occurs almost simultaneously, and in vivo valid life of the coating is about 8 weeks, after that the degradation rate of the coated implants increases obviously. The main reasons for the Ca-def HA coating degradation can be attributed to its reaction with body fluid and the substitution of Mg²⁺ ions in Ca-def HA. Histopathological examinations show that the Ca-def HA coating has good osteoconductivity and is in favor of the formation of more new bone on the surface of magnesium alloy. So the Ca-def HA coating could not only slow down in vivo degradation of magnesium alloy but also improve its bone response.
