Nonlinear System Identification of Folding Fins with Freeplay Using Direct Parameter Estimation by Zhi-Sai Ma, Bo Wang, Xin Zhang, Qian Ding

“…The best set of coefficients is selected by using the significance test, allowing the proposed method to detect and locate the most relevant nonlinearities of the practical structure. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to decouple the linear and nonlinear dynamics of a nonlinear structure and estimate natural frequencies of the derived linear system along with nonlinear internal forces in one computational step, even if no a priori knowledge of the type of nonlinearities is given.…”

Evidence of the role of presence in enhancing engagement in virtual learning environments via psychological ownership and flow: a dual PLS-neural network approach by Inma Rodríguez-Ardura, Antoni Meseguer-Artola, Josep Lladós-Masllorens, Iviane Ramos de Luna

“…It introduces sense of belonging and psychological ownership as new, essential mediating constructs and explores how they, along with flow, influence cognitive, affective, and behavioural engagement. A dual linear and non-linear approach combining partial least squares (PLS) modelling with artificial neural networks (ANNs) is used to test the measurement and structural model. …”

Dynamical implications of the Kerr multipole moments for spinning black holes by T. Scheopner, J. Vines

“…In this paper we find that the Kerr solution determines all of the multipole moments in the sense of Dixon of a stationary spinning black hole and that these multipole moments determine all linear in 𝑅 couplings. For example, additional couplings beyond the previously mentioned are fixed on operators containing derivative structures of the form 𝑆2𝑛(𝑝 ∙ ∇)2𝑛 acting on the Riemann tensor with 𝑝𝜇 the momentum vector of the black hole. …”
