Abstract: Nano-Y2O3 particulates containing ductile magnesium nanocomposites were synthesized using blend-press-sinter powder metallurgy technique followed by hot extrusion. Microstructural characterization of ...

Abstract: In a previous paper [1], the concept of the dynamic sensitivity of a system state and its performance was introduced for a continuous linear system with small arbitrary perturbations in the ...

Abstract: In this paper, a design of a signal synthesis adaptive controller for a class of linear time-varying uncertain plants using model reference adaptive control techniques is presented. Following a ...

Abstract: Parametric study involving foundation parameters and shell geometry is carried out for nonlinear static behavior of an orthotropic shallow spherical shell on a Kerr foundation. Study shows that ...

Abstract: A scheme of dynamic recurrent neural networks (DRNNs) is discussed in this paper, which provides the potential for the learning and control of a general class of unknown discrete-time nonlinear ...

Abstract: Utilization of alternative fuels in the transportation sector has been identified as a potential method for mitigation of petroleum-based energy dependence and pollutant emissions from mobile ...

Abstract: Natural gas has been used extensively as an engine fuel in gas pipeline transmission applications and, more recently, as a fuel for transportation applications including both light-duty and ...

Abstract: The solution of a combined static and dynamic optimization problem is considered in this paper. By means of a feasible decomposition procedure this combined problem is first decomposed into a ...

Abstract: This work describes a novel microfluidic method to generate uniform water-in-oil (W/O) microspheres using the phase separation technique. Axiomatic design theory (ADT) was employed for the conceptual ...
