Abstract: The stability of a basic stationary motion is investigated. The problem is posed as an initial boundary-value problem of partial differential equations in the perturbations. The spectral ...

Abstract: The effect of several wheel and rail profiles on the hunting behavior of three-piece North American freight truck is investigated by the method of describing functions. After replacing the ...

Abstract: The use of hydraulic transmission lines in automatic control, liquid-propellant rocket, and other systems requires accurate knowledge of their dynamic response. In this paper the effects of fluid ...

Abstract: The optimal open loop control of systems described by a set of linear partial differential equations is investigated. The performance index is of quadratic type and the mean square error is ...

Abstract: The partial differential equations describing distributed parameter systems may often be reduced to transcendental transfer functions with the aid of appropriate boundary conditions. In the analysis ...

Abstract: Identification of metal cutting dynamics is important for predicting the occurrence of chatter. An experimental investigation was conducted to study the relationship between the oscillations in ...

Abstract: Chatter in metal cutting is a nonlinear self-excited vibration of the limit cycle type. This investigation is concerned with the analysis of chatter from the viewpoint of the describing function. ...
