Adaptive control of linear time varying systems
(1996)A new class of adaptive controllers for linear time varying systems is designed and analyzed using nonlinear design techniques and the certainty-equivalence approach. It is established that this new class of controllers ...

Assignment of natural frequencies by an added mass and one or more springs
(2004)The problem of assigning natural frequencies to a multi-degree-of-freedom undamped system by an added mass connected by one or more springs is addressed. The added mass and stiffnesses are determined using receptances from ...

Bond graph based modal decomposition of systems with non-proportional damping
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Louca, L.S.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, Cyprusemail: lslouca@ucy.ac.cy, 2012)Modal analysis of lumped parameter and continuous dynamic linear systems is extensively used to study their dynamic behavior and controller design. In both cases, a reduction of the model size that does not degrade accuracy ...

Central pseudorapidity gaps in events with a leading antiproton at the Fermilab tevatron pp collider
(2003)The results from a similar measurement performed in a subsample of pp events containing a leading (high longitudinal momentum) antiproton. As such, large pseudorapidity gaps are presumed to be due to Pomeron exchanges and ...

Entrainment and vehicle following controllers design for autonomous intelligent vehicles
(American Automatic Control Council, 1994)Entrainment and vehicle following controllers are proposed for autonomous intelligent vehicles in both non-tight and tight vehicle following maneuvers. A nonlinear vehicle model is used for designing the controllers. The ...

First-passage study and stationary response analysis of a BWB hysteresis model using quasi-conservative stochastic averaging method
(1995)The quasi-conservative stochastic averaging (QCSA) method is applied to a Bouc-Wen-Baber hysteretic system (BWB) under Gaussian white noise excitations. The stationary probability density of the system's response amplitude ...

Modal analysis reduction of multi-body systems with generic damping
(2014)Modal analysis of multi-body systems is broadly used to study the behavior and controller design of dynamic systems. In both cases, model reduction that does not degrade accuracy is necessary for the efficient use of these ...

Modelling and Simulation of Bolted Joints under Harmonic Excitation
(2003)Bolted metal joints under harmonic loading exhibit hysteretic behaviour. This is the major source of damping in frame structures with bolted joints, since the material damping of these structures is very small. In this ...

Non-linear base and shaft reaction models for 1-D pile driving analysis
(19th ICSMGE Secretariat, 2017)Simulation of pile driving is frequently used in present design practice to study pile drivability and to estimate pile static capacity based on driving data. The accuracy of both drivability analysis and static resistance ...

Nonlinear control design for linear time varying systems
(1996)A new class of linear controllers for linear time varying systems are proposed. These controllers are based on nonlinear tools such as integrator backstepping and nonlinear damping, and on a new filter structure that ...

Structural modification. Part 1: Rotational receptances
(2005)The inverse problem of assigning natural frequencies and antiresonances by a modification to the stiffness, mass and damping of a structure is addressed. Very simple modifications such as the addition of masses and grounded ...

Structural modification. Part 2: Assignment of natural frequencies and antiresonances by an added beam
(2005)In this paper the inverse structural modification problem is solved in order to determine the dimensions of the cross-section of a beam that when added to an original structure will assign natural frequencies or antiresonances ...

Viscoplastic flow in an extrusion damper
(2016)Numerical simulations of the flow in an extrusion damper are performed using a finite volume method. The damper is assumed to consist of a shaft, with or without a spherical bulge, oscillating axially in a containing ...
