Reciprocating-Disc-type Magnetorheological Finishing with Long-term Removal-function Stability

This paper presents a reciprocating-disc-type magnetorheological finishing (RDMRF) system equipped with a magnetically actuated recovery loop and an optimized polishing fluid, which successfully stabilizes the material removal rate to under 8% drift over 180 minutes and achieves ultra-smooth surface roughness by addressing the limitations of conventional disc-type configurations regarding linear speed variation and fluid evaporation.

Physically interpretable modes of a moored wave energy converter via dynamic mode decomposition with exogenous input

This paper presents a physically interpretable, low-order linear model for a moored wave energy converter by applying Dynamic Mode Decomposition with control (DMDc) to experimental data, successfully capturing hydrodynamic memory and identifying distinct physical mechanisms while revealing the quantitative signature of catenary mooring nonlinearity through a divergence between time-domain and spectral performance metrics.
