Full 360° Terahertz Dynamic Phase Modulation Based on Doubly Resonant Graphene–Metal Hybrid Metasurfaces

Dynamic phase modulation is vital for tuneable focusing, beaming, polarisation conversion and holography. However, it remains challenging to achieve full 360° dynamic phase modulation while maintaining high reflectance or transmittance based on metamaterials or metasurfaces in the terahertz regime. Here, we propose a doubly resonant graphene–metal hybrid metasurface to address this challenge. Simulation results show that by varying the graphene Fermi energy, the proposed metasurface with two shifting resonances is capable of providing dynamic phase modulation covering a range of 361° while maintaining relatively high reflectance above 20% at 1.05 THz. Based on the phase profile design, dynamically tuneable beam steering and focusing were numerically demonstrated. We expect that this work will advance the engineering of graphene metasurfaces for the dynamic manipulation of terahertz waves.

Research on comfortable driving posture of car drivers based on muscle biomechanics

This paper aims to solve the problem of optimal design on a comfortable human-machine arrangement of car drivers with different physical signs under dynamic manipulation. Based on the biomechanical characteristic of human skeletal muscle and Hill muscle mechanics model, this paper constructs the human seat musculoskeletal model of 5th, 50th, and 95th percentile physical signs of Chinese car drivers under dynamic manipulation. The six-degree-of-freedom flexible test bench was set up and the center composite method was used to optimize the number of experiments. The consistency and relevance analysis of the actual measurement and dynamic manipulation simulation was carried out to comprehensively analyze the human-machine arrangement parameters such as vehicle seat, pedal, and steering wheel, so as to realize the optimization design of the hard point size of comfortable driving posture and verify the rationality and applicability of the test results through the vehicle road test.
