Abstract: This paper proposes a planning method of the theoretically fastest slew path, and correspondingly, an analytical openloop control law for the minimumtime eigenaxis rotation of spacecraft with three reaction wheels. The ...

Abstract: The discrete element method (DEM) has been widely used to study the mechanical behavior of granular materials. However, potential error accumulation over the required large number of time steps due to the explicit time ...

Abstract: It is important to understand the operational performance of bridge expansion joints in real time. This paper proposes a novel performance-alarming approach for bridge expansion joints using continuous temperature and ...
