Abstract: Deployable solar arrays play an important role in the realization of various spacecraft missions. Taking the flexible spacecraft as an application background, the natural characteristics of a jointed-panel structure is ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for estimating Coulomb and viscous friction coefficients from responses of a harmonically excited dual-damped oscillator with linear stiffness. The identification method ...

Abstract: Wavelet transforms were compared between various simulated friction models and real stick-slip data. While simulations of several models produced stick-slip transition oscillations seen in the real ...

Abstract: With the increases in both the urban rail transit (URT) network scale and complexity, a route choice model that was previously developed may not function properly anymore and therefore must be constantly evaluated if ...

Abstract: This study addresses the identification of nonlinear systems. It is assumed that the function form in the nonlinear system is known, leaving some unknown parameters to be estimated. Since Haar ...

Abstract: Clearance turns up in a large number of engineering structures because of the errors during assembling, manufacturing, and wearing. The presence of clearance in engineering structures changes the normal dynamic response ...

Abstract: Route choice behavior of a rail transit passenger is not directly observable and it may be affected by the route travel time to a large extent. Compared to the on-train time, travel times at stations, including walking ...
