Fold, Hopf and Cusp Bifurcations in a Rear-Wheel-Drive Vehicle: Qualitative Detection and Analytical Determination

This paper presents a systematic bifurcation analysis of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle using a differentiable tyre model to identify stability boundaries and classify three distinct operating regimes—stable handling, steering-direction drifting, and counter-steering drifting—characterized by Hopf, fold, and cusp bifurcations that are critical for designing electronic stability control and autonomous vehicle safety envelopes.

Pore Morphological Evolution in Normally and Overconsolidated Natural Clays under One-Dimensional Loading: Deionised and Saline Pore Fluid Conditions

This study demonstrates that while saline pore fluid conditions consistently reduce pore sizes in illite-dominant and illite-smectite clays due to double-layer compression, one-dimensional loading and unloading induce only partial and non-symmetrical recovery of pore shape and size, leaving overconsolidated specimens with smaller, more elongated, and less circular pores than normally consolidated ones regardless of fluid chemistry.

Structural and Spectral Criticality Observables for Topology-Free Power System Stability Assessment

This paper introduces a topology-free, model-agnostic framework utilizing structural and spectral critical slowing down observables to independently verify the physical stability of grid-AI outputs, thereby addressing reliability risks in renewable-rich power systems where traditional dynamic separation checks are absent.

Toward Secure Decentralized Coordination and Acoustic Source Localization in Autonomous Drone Swarms

This paper presents a mathematically grounded simulation framework for secure autonomous drone swarms that integrates AES-256-GCM encryption, Ed25519-signed ledgers, and acoustic source localization, revealing that while the system achieves high precision under ideal conditions, residual fit metrics alone are insufficient for safety in noisy or latency-compromised environments, thus necessitating a staged validation path toward physical deployment.
