Abstract: Mechanical systems operate under parametric and external excitation uncertainties. The polynomial chaos approach has been shown to be more efficient than Monte Carlo for quantifying the effects ...

Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) fluid dampers have a semicontrollable damping force output that is dependent on the current input to the damper, as well as the relative velocity. The mechanical construction, ...

Abstract: The coefficient of friction (CoF) is a very important factor for designing, operating, and maintaining the wheel-rail system. In the real world, accurate estimation of the CoF at the wheel-rail ...

Abstract: This work presents a novel optimal design framework that treats uncertain dynamical systems described by ordinary differential equations. Uncertainty in multibody dynamical systems comes from various ...
