Abstract: The governing equations of a laminated anisotropic cylindrical shell problem are a system of partial differential equations. The boundary conditions will complicate the problem. Thus, it is hard ...

Abstract: Nonlinear Quadratic Stochastic control is applied to a position servomechanism. A method for estimating the maximum sampling time of a digital implementation of the technique is given. Additionally, ...

Abstract: Sluice gates are widely used for flow control in open channels. Flow through the gate may be free or submerged depending on tailwater depth. One may determine whether the flow will be free or submerged by determining the ...

Abstract: Paper is a highly anisotropic and nonlinear material. Solid mechanics research on paper structures has been hampered by limited data on the nonlinear material properties of paperboards. In ...

Abstract: A method for nondestructive evaluation of material constants of composite laminates is presented. An error function is established to measure the differences between the theoretically and ...
