Abstract: In this paper we consider a problem of the response of an elastic half space subjected to an antiplane shear load. The load is suddenly applied and thereafter moves in an interval reciprocally ...

Abstract: A nonlinear building block approach (NLBBA) is proposed to evaluate frequency response characteristics of nonlinear structure systems including springs with nonlinear stiffness and clearances at ...

Abstract: A fast computational approach is considered for solving of a time-invariant operator Riccati equation accompanied with the optimal steady-state filtering problem of a distributed-parameter system. ...

Abstract: The problem of control of linear discrete-time stochastic systems with faulty sensors is considered. The anomaly sensors are assumed to be modeled by a finite-state Markov chain whose transition ...

Abstract: One key technology for the offshore development of the increasing water depth will be remotely operated installation and construction of flexible structure in the deep water or on the seabed. ...

Abstract: A discrete-time adaptive filter is derived for a distributed system described by a linear partial differential equation with some unknown random constants whose a priori probabilities are known. ...

Abstract: A method of failure diagnosis for discrete-time stochastic systems with some parametric failures is proposed. It is assumed that the time instances of failure occurrence and the dynamic behaviors ...

Abstract: An artificial neural model is used to estimate the natural sediment discharge in rivers in terms of sediment concentration. This is achieved by training the network to extrapolate several natural streams data collected ...

Abstract: A new method for predicting upward solute movement in unsaturated sand soil due to evaporation is developed and tested. Laboratory experiments were conducted in an unsaturated uniformly packed sand column with a cross ...
