Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
The battery tab-to-busbar welding process forms the primary electrical path in battery packs and is directly linked to both performance and safety. Variations in jig alignment, material tolerance, and forming quality can cause small interfacial gaps that lead to weak welds. An artificial intelligence (AI)-driven method was proposed in this study for predicting interfacial gaps in aluminum-copper overlap joints by integrating deep learning with multi-sensor data. A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, spectrometer, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) sensors were employed to develop and validate deep learning models under varying gap conditions. The results revealed that the variation in melt-pool dimensions, …

Method Of Demand Forecasting And Dynamic Equilibrium Of Computing Resources For Grid Distribution And Consumption Tasks Based On State Iteration, Tiantian Cai, Junjian Chen, Ming Hu, Xiaohua Li, Zexiang Cai
Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
Distributed objects on the distribution side of the network are currently massively assessed so that the tasks carried by the grid distribution and consumption terminal present the characteristics of multiple time scales and large differences in demand，which leads to the complex equilibrium problem of random fluctuation in the computing resource demand.Traditional terminals are limited by the fixed application scenarios and relatively certain resource allocation，and the terminals can only adapt passively through the “quantity for quality ” method，which is unable to solve the persistent contradiction of imbalance between the supply and demand of computing resources in terminals from the root.Therefore，a method …

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
As carbon emission trading becomes more and more important to promote the transition to a low-carbon economy in the electric power system，the bidding strategy among new energy producers，fossil energy producers，and community aggregators in the electrocarbon market has changed significantly.In view of the stochastic fluctuations shown by bidding behaviors of different agents in the market and the lagging benefits generated by carbon quotas，a stochastic delay differential equation （SDDE） model is established.Gaussian white noise and time-delay terms are introduced to simulate the dynamic evolution of the bidding process between three different firms，and the change law of the lag time threshold and the …

Robust Control Of Output Voltage Of Dab Converter By Super -Twisted Sliding Mode Method, Jianlin Li, Laixin Guo, Penghui Han
Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
The traditional sliding mode control （SMC） used for the isolated dual active bridge （DAB） converter is robust and can improve the dynamic performance of nonlinear systems.To address the disadvantages of buffeting and decreasing tracking performance，a super-twisted sliding mode control （ST-SMC） method is proposed to enhance the output voltage regulation ability and robust control ability of the converter.The ST-SMC method is adopted，and the technical advantages of the sliding mode controller are combined to effectively eliminate the buffeting problem.During the design of the sliding mode controller，the average mathematical model of the DAB converter under single-phase shift control is fully considered，and the design …

Feedforward Strategy Of Adaptive Improvement For Grid -Connected Inverter With Extremely Weak Grid, Tieying Zhao, Peijian Tian, Junran Li, Zhiyuan Huang, Yuang Qi
Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology
With an extremely weak grid，grid-connected inverters introduce the grid voltage proportional feedforward control strategy to enhance the amplitude gain in the low-frequency band and suppress the background harmonic interference of the grid.However，when the impedance parameter of the grid increases，the phase margin of the system significantly decreases，and instability occurs.Based on the impedance characteristic analysis method，the internal mechanism of the deterioration of the system ’s phase margin is first revealed，and then proposes to connect a second-order low-pass filter on the feedforward channel in series to improve the system ’s phase margin and retain its gain effect at low frequencies as much as …

Sticker Shock Due Process, Alex Dougherty Neumann
Sticker Shock Due Process, Alex Dougherty Neumann
Duke Law Journal
To address undesirable conduct like infringing a copyright or placing a robocall, legislatures have created statutory causes of action that enable plaintiffs to file private suits. Instead of needing to prove actual damages from a defendant's conduct, many statutory causes of action allow a plaintiff to pursue a predefined damages amount per statutory violation. The damages are known as statutory damages, and their elegance lies in how they scale linearly, or one-to-one, with every violation by a defendant. But in the digital age, where automated technologies can generate millions of violations without human oversight, courts are now confronting monstrous aggregate …
The Second Amendment's Catholic Problem, Jared Danaher
The Second Amendment's Catholic Problem, Jared Danaher
Duke Law Journal
After New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, history is the touchstone of Second Amendment analysis. Thus, this Note explores an understudied part of America's long and complicated history with weapons: Catholic disarmament. By undertaking a detailed historical analysis of three Catholic disarmament measures in the late colonial United States, this Note attempts to determine what the history means for present day firearms law. It concludes that even though courts frequently cite America’s history of Catholic disarmament, they rarely use it in a historically accurate way. Modern courts use Catholic disarmament to justify weapons bans on people …
Perspectives Of Cannabis Farmers On Intersection Of Water Access And Cannabis Frontier Constraints In Southern Oregon, Tapiwa Malvin Chabikwa
Perspectives Of Cannabis Farmers On Intersection Of Water Access And Cannabis Frontier Constraints In Southern Oregon, Tapiwa Malvin Chabikwa
Dissertations and Theses
Cannabis farming and use are being legalized at unprecedented levels by many states in the United States. Oregon was one of the pioneer states to legalize cannabis in 2016. Although it is legalized at the state level (in Oregon), cannabis remains illegal at the federal level. Due to the quasi-legalization of cannabis, an agricultural frontier for marijuana is unfolding. Cannabis farming in Oregon has grown as there is a market and ideal weather climate for the cannabis industry to flourish. This study seeks to understand the challenges cannabis farmers face in accessing water and the socio-economic and political constraints that …
Authoritarian Transfers, Günter Frankenberg, Fernanda G. Nicola
Authoritarian Transfers, Günter Frankenberg, Fernanda G. Nicola
University of Miami Law Review
The rapid proliferation of foreign agent laws globally has become a hallmark of rising authoritarianism, with these laws weaponized to suppress dissent and stifle civil society. While the post-World War II study of legal transplants focused on liberal legal orders, the rise of authoritarian regimes has introduced a new dimension: the transnational movement and adaptation of authoritarian legal frameworks, or authoritarian transfers. This Article fills a critical gap by developing an analytical framework to distinguish authoritarian transfers from democratic ones, using transfer theory, a central theme in comparative law that explores how laws travel, adapt, and transform within new social …

Forfeiture Takings, Police Power, And Necessity Destruction, Shelley Ross Saxer
University of Miami Law Review
Civil forfeiture laws allow law enforcement to seize property when there is probable cause it has been used or possessed in violation of legal rules, often before an owner has a chance to contest the government’s seizure in court. In the criminal context, forfeiture is typically an in personam action that requires a criminal conviction and is part of a defendant’s sentence. In the civil context, however, forfeiture is an in rem proceeding brought against the property derived from or used to commit an offense––not against the person who committed the offense. As such, a civil forfeiture may not require …
