Abstract: This paper focuses on the design of stealthy attacks for cyber-physical systems (CPSs) with unknown but bounded process disturbances and measurement noises. To effectively address the impact ...

Abstract: In this article, a dual-polarized 2-bit electronically reconfigurable reflectarray (RRA) is proposed for 5G beam scanning applications. By introducing two parallel transmission lines and a T ...

Predicting the adhesive force between steel reinforcement and concrete is crucial as it influences stress distribution and the overall mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete. This study proposes a ...
