We investigate the effect of uniaxial heterostrain on interacting phase diagram magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. Using both self-consistent Hartree-Fock and density-matrix renormalization group calculations, we find that small strain values (??0.1%–0.2%) drive a zero-temperature transition between symmetry-broken “Kramers intervalley-coherent” insulator nematic semimetal. The critical lies...

This paper presents a novel method for stance and swing phase detection employing Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ), using knee angle information only. The results show detection accuracy of 95.9% in stance phase and 83.9% in swing phase. The research concludes an efficient replacement of footswitch for phase detection. The work can directly lead to low cost speed adaptive transtibial prosthes...

The electromagnetic torque and speed in Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) greatly depend on the excitation parameters i.e. turn-on angle, turn-off angle, dwell angle and magnitude of the phase currents of its phases. At lower speeds, a change in the current contributes the torque requirement which can be achieved either by voltage control (pulse width modulation) or instantaneous current control ...

Cohesive-zone models have been used to study the effects of strength and toughness on the delamination of beam-like geometries. The conditions under which linear-elastic interfacial mechanics provide a good frame-work for predicting failure of such systems have been studied. It has been determined that the phase angle derived from LEFM calculations provides an excellent description of the parti...
