Abstract: This paper studies the problem of designing insensitive Hâˆ‍ outputfeedback controllers for linear discretetime systems. The designed controllers are insensitive to additive/multiplicative controller coefficient variations. ...

Abstract: A unified one-dimensional (1D), steady-state flow and heat transfer model is presented for the pipeline transport of fluids at high pressures, including the supercritical (SC) conditions. The model includes a generalized ...

Abstract: The influence of surface stress on the yield strength of nanotwinned polycrystal facecenteredcubic (FCC) metallic nanowire is theoretically investigated. The contribution of surface boundaries on the strengthening/softening ...

Abstract: This work presents a micromechanical model to investigate mechanical properties of nanotwinned dualphase copper, consisting of the coarse grained phase and the nanotwinned phase. Both strengthening mechanisms of nanotwinning ...

Abstract: A macroscopic global seismic damage model is proposed for reinforced concrete structures by considering the dynamic modal contributions. Modal damage is defined using the concepts of dynamic modal stiffness and modal mass. ...

Abstract: A semi-empirical model describing the heat transfer characteristics of the pseudo-dropwise condensation of binary vapor on a cooled vertical tube has been formulated. By ignoring the thin film ...
