Abstract: In order to solve the problem of fracture prevention and material selection of high-strength steel for Arctic jack-up platforms at low temperatures, low-temperature fracture toughness tests and the complete Gurson model ...

Abstract: Asymptotic tracking and disturbance rejection in uncertain nonlinear systems is studied in the context of output feedback control. This study is facilitated by formalizing the notion of k-fold ...

Abstract: The linear servomechanism problem has been studied for two extreme cases. On one extreme, the problem has been studied without considering the plant parameter uncertainty. On the other extreme, ...

Abstract: This paper aims to improve the transient response of a linear regulator system by optimizing the feedback gains associated with a fixed set of desirable eigenvalues of the closed-loop system. ...

Abstract: Multiple fatigue crack growth behavior has been studied in model transparent GFRP laminates. Detailed experimental observations have been made on the growth of individual fatigue cracks and on ...

Abstract: his study proposes an anomalous eddy vorticity forcing (EVF) decomposing procedure to investigate physical mechanisms responsible for the formation of the anomalous EVF associated with North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) ...

Abstract: A simple explicit formula is presented here to approximate the dispersion relationship of linear water waves, which allows direct and accurate calculation of wavenumber

Abstract: In order to solve the problem of fracture prevention and material selection of high-strength steel for Arctic jack-up platforms at low temperatures, low-temperature fracture toughness tests and the complete Gurson model ...

Abstract: Geosynthetic-reinforced column-supported (GRCS) embankments have increasingly been used in the recent years for accelerated construction. Numerical analyses have been conducted to improve understanding and knowledge of ...
