Decentralized Reconfigurable Control for Large-Scale Systems with Application to a Segmented Telescope Test-Bed
(2003)
Designing a decentralized reconfigurable control (DRC) system is considered for large-scale systems. The objective of the DRC system is to achieve performance requirements under normal and sensor failure situations. The ...
Evaluation of the environmental effects of intelligent cruise control vehicles
(2001)
Intelligent cruise control (ICC) vehicles are already commercially available in Japan and should be ready for the North American market by next year. Although the controllers are local and string stable, it is not clear ...
Maxima for Gaussian seas
(2006)
The probability distribution of the height of global maximum for a Gaussian random field evolving in time is studied. In particular, the effect of spreading is studied and the role of the wave kinematics is discussed. It ...
Analysis of traffic flow with mixed manual and semi-automated vehicles
(IEEE, 1999)
While dedicated highways with fully automated vehicles is a far in the future objective, the introduction of semi-automated vehicles on current highways designed to operate with manually driven vehicles is a realistic near ...
Predictions of structure breakdown, buildup and shear banding in semisolid suspensions
(2008)
When SSM material is subjected to a sudden transient the rate of buildup (aging) is negligible compared to the rate of breakdown (shear rejuvenation). While this is generally true, due to prolonged processing or the geometry ...
Rheological effects of strusture breakdown in semisolid slurries
(2004)
An essential element for the integration of the semisolid metal (SSM) process in the production of complex commercial components is the availability of accurate mathematical and computational tools that could describe both ...
Implicit-explicit BDF methods for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation
(2004)
We consider the periodic initial value problem for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) equation. We approximate the solution by discretizing in time by implicit-explicit BDF schemes and in space by a pseudo-spectral method. We ...
Cessation of annular Poiseuille flows of Bingham plastics
(2007)
We numerically solve the cessation of the annular Poiseuille flow of Bingham plastics for various values of the diameter ratio, using the regularized constitutive equation proposed by Papanastasiou and employing finite ...
Fuzzy traffic density homogenizer for automated highway system
(IEEE, 1994)
In this paper, a fuzzy traffic density homogenizer is proposed to alleviate or avoid the congestion by smoothing the traffic density distribution profile over the freeway. The proposed fuzzy traffic density homogenizer ...
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 ...
