Abstract: This work presents a novel global reduced-order modeling and parameter estimation of a maneuvering aircraft up to poststall angles of attack using radial basis functions. A computational fluid dynamics approach is adopted ...

Abstract: Most previous studies in the field of sensor placement have focused on only one aim. In this study, pressure sensor placement is done for calibration and leakage detection simultaneously to use pressure data optimally to ...

Abstract: A general method for analysis of the behavior of a flexible frictionless shaft of any arbitrary configuration running inside of a guide tube with negligible clearance and transmitting torque ...

Abstract: The formulation of a generalized vectorial equation of motion for small vibrations of any nonprismatic thin beam, which center line is an arbitrary space curve, is presented. The thin beam is ...

Abstract: A design methodology is developed for a linear, uncertain, SISO system for maximizing the size of a step disturbance in the presence of hard time domain constraints on system states, control ...

Abstract: The frequency domain design methodology developed in Jayasuriya and Franchek (1988) for the synthesis of controllers that maximize the allowable size of an unknown-but-bounded disturbance in the ...

Abstract: This paper describes a statistical approach to estimating an appropriate inspection interval for highway bridges based on historical condition data collected from 20 years of routine inspections. Condition ratings of 4,270 ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach to obtain the stress and strength density distributions in reliability design problems. The density and cumulative distributions of the stress and strength are ...
