Cessation of Couette and Poiseuille flows of a Bingham plastic and finite stopping times
(2005)
We solve the one-dimensional cessation Couette and Poiseuille flows of a Bingham plastic using the regularized constitutive equation proposed by Papanastasiou and employing finite elements in space and a fully implicit ...
Search for excited and exotic muons in the μy decay channel in pp - collisions at s=1.96 TeV
(2006)
We search for excited and exotic muon states * using an integrated luminosity of 371pb-1 of pp collision data at s=1.96TeV. We search for associated production of * followed by the decay *. We compare the data to model ...
Roadway traffic controller design for automated highway systems
(IEEE, 1994)
For manual driving, the traffic flow is often irregular, unstable leading to congestion and to low traffic flow rate during minor incidents. These irregularities are due to variation of vehicle speeds and headways that are ...
How fast are the two-dimensional gaussian waves?
(2002)
For a stationary two-dimensional random field evolving in time, we derive the intensity distributions of appropriately defined velocities of crossing contours. The results are based on a generalization of the Rice formula. ...
Relation between velocities and global maximum for Gaussian seas
(2004)
We study the probability distribution of the height of global maximum for a Gaussian random field evolving in time. Particularly, we discuss the role of the wave kinematics. It is observed that taking into account time ...
Velocities for moving random surfaces
(2003)
For a stationary two-dimensional random field evolving in time, we derive statistical distributions of appropriately defined velocities. The results are based on a generalization of the Rice formula. We discuss importance ...
Note on the distribution of extreme wave crests
(2005)
The sea elevation at a fixed point is modelled by means of a second order model, which is a smooth algebraic function of a vector valued Gaussian process. Asymptotic methods, presented first in [1], are used to estimate ...
Stable indirect adaptive control of continuous-time systems with no a priori knowledge on the parameters
(Publ by Pergamon Press Inc, 1993)
A crucial drawback of indirect adaptive control is the stabilizability or controllability of the estimated plant model which is required in order to calculate the controller parameters. Loss of stabilizability at a particular ...
Worldline path integral for the massive Dirac propagator: A four-dimensional approach
(1999)
We simplify and generalize an approach proposed by Di Vecchia and Ravndal to describe a massive Dirac particle in external vector and scalar fields. Two different path integral representations for the propagator are derived ...
Adaptive linear quadratic design with application to F-16 fighter aircraft
(2004)
This paper investigates an adaptive linear quadratic (ALQ) control design with its application to the longitudinal model of the F-16 fighter aircraft. The certainty equivalence principle is used to combine the adaptive law ...
