Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to study the dynamic performance of seals and the fatigue failure probability updating of a hydraulic steel sluice gate by experiments. First, water seal modifications involving of top, ...

Abstract: The robust tracking control and accurate real-time uncertainty estimation performances by using disturbance observer-based model reference adaptive control (DOBMRAC) are proposed in this article. An example of coefficient ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design of a haptic system that allows the interactive modification of cutter orientation during five-axis finishing cuts with the aim of improving the surface finish ...

Abstract: The energy balance equation consisting of mechanical and electrical parts of a mechatronic elevator system is studied in this paper. The total input energy is equal to the mechanical and electrical energies, where a weighting ...

Abstract: In the design of printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is preferable to increase their fundamental frequency so as to reduce the effects of the dynamic loading on them. The dynamic characteristics ...

Abstract: The coming Chinese specification for the steel highway bridge will adopt the design method of probability limit state on the basis of the structure reliability theory. The limit-state equation with load and resistance ...

Abstract: n this study, the authors numerically simulate roll vortices (rolls) generated by the inflection-point instability in the hurricane boundary layer (HBL). The approach is based on embedding a two-dimensional high-resolution ...

Abstract: A scheme was proposed by Zhang et al. to estimate soil water content from soil temperature measurements by using an adaptive Kalman filter. Their scheme is based on the fact that soil heat capacity and thermal conductivity ...

Abstract: Thermal conditions at the porous-fluid interface under local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) conditions are analyzed in this work. Exact solutions are derived for both the fluid and solid temperature ...
