Abstract: This paper presents the experimental implementation of a gradient-based nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithm to the swing-up control of a rotary inverted pendulum. The key attribute ...

Abstract: In this work, the onset of turbulence inside a rectangular chamber is investigated, with and without side-wall injection, in the presence of an oscillatory pressure gradient. Two techniques are ...

Abstract: Since its inception about 200 years ago, Lagrangian mechanics has been based upon the Principle of D’Alembert. There are, however, many physical situations where this confining principle is not ...

Abstract: The development of a “stabilized” temperature sensor has led to significant increases in turbine operating efficiency by maximizing output when compared with present sensor technology. These ...
