Abstract: A dual-input describing function (DIDF) is derived for sine waves and Guassian noise. The derivation follows the correlation method used in [1]. In this paper only single-valued nonlinearities ...

Abstract: A simple nonlinear filter construction and performance evaluation method is described and illustrated on several examples by comparing it to more complex nonlinear filter schemes. In the new ...

Abstract: The problem considered is the sequential estimation of states and parameters in noisy nonlinear systems. The class of systems considered is those in which the dynamical behavior is described ...

Abstract: This paper describes the experimental investigation of an upward annular air-water flow in a duct with a 6.35 mm by 63.5 mm rectangular cross section. The test section was instrumented to ...

Abstract: In an effort to determine the stability of the milling process, and due to the complexity of its describing equation, a special case of this equation is considered. In this way, it is ...

Abstract: In the cutting process, forces are induced at each of the cutter teeth in contact with the workpiece, and these forces in turn excite the machine tool structure. Due to the inherent feedback ...

Abstract: In this paper, a method of stability analysis for the general milling process is given. The milling operation is described by a linear differential-difference equation with periodic coefficients. ...

Abstract: Suppose imprecise observations are made on imprecisely defined nonlinear processes, and one wishes to estimate the state of the process at certain fixed instants of time lying within the interval ...
