Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to obtain stability conditions for a class of nonlinear distributed-parameter systems by using a generalization of Liapunov’s direct method. Sufficient conditions for ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of elevator compensation rope vibration in tall buildings. An analysis is made of the vibrations of a hanging rope, whose weight per unit length is not ...

Abstract: A means is presented for determining stability of linear time-varying systems with one feedback nonlinearity. The stability condition involves the minimization of certain time functions of the ...

Abstract: A method of simulating a class of hyperbolic distributed systems without using space discretization is presented. Complex distributed systems are realized by means of subsystems of basic distributed ...
