Abstract: A multivariable version of the zero phase error tracking control algorithm is presented for sampled-data systems. The feedforward controller is based on the minimal-order inverse of a square ...

Abstract: A new method is described for estimating input time delays in linear plants. The method is based on discrete-time domain identification of such delays, and provides direct estimates in real-time. ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the procedure to determine the required mechanical properties of plastic concrete used to build a new cutoff wall as a remediation measure in an earth-fill dam constructed in a narrow canyon and ...

Abstract: The accelerating pace of development due to groundwater overwithdrawal throughout the world places increasing demands on the unsaturated zone. Estimating evaporation from unsaturated soil has been important for many ...

Abstract: Realistic estimates of evaporation from unsaturated soils, which are important for many geotechnical and geoenvironmental applications, need to be considered in the context of soil settlement, and require thermohydromechanical ...
