Abstract: In this paper, a new finitetime stability (FTS) concept, which is defined as positive FTS (PFTS), is introduced into discretetime linear systems. Differently from previous FTSrelated papers, the initial state as well as ...

Abstract: It is well known that the computational cost of classic topology optimization (TO) methods increases rapidly with the size of the design problem because of the high-dimensional numerical simulation required at each iteration. ...

Abstract: Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, puts forward new requirements for the sustainable service of products. With the recent advances in measurement technologies, global and local deformations in inaccessible ...
