Characterize traction–separation relation and interfacial imperfections by data-driven machine learning models (open access)

Characterize traction–separation relation and interfacial imperfections by data-driven machine learning models

This article combines machine learning (ML), finite element analysis (FEA), and empirical experiments to develop data-driven models that characterize interfacial mechanical properties precisely. It also provides a code package containing trained ML models, allowing other researchers to establish T–S relations for different material interfaces.

Air Corridors: Concept, Design, Simulation, and Rules of Engagement (open access)

Air Corridors: Concept, Design, Simulation, and Rules of Engagement

Article presenting fundamental insights into the design of air corridors with high operational efficiency as well as zero collisions. It begins with the definitions of air cube, skylane or track, intersection, vertiport, gate, and air corridor. Then a multi-layered air corridor model is proposed. Traffic at intersections is analyzed in detail with examples of vehicles turning in different directions. The concept of capacity of an air corridor is introduced along with the nature of distribution of locations of vehicles in the air corridor and collision probability inside the corridor are discussed. Finally, results of traffic flow simulations are presented.
