Abstract: A computationally attractive method for determining the optimal control of unconstrained linear dynamic systems with quadratic performance indices is presented. In the proposed method, the difference ...

Abstract: Part I of this paper presents a dynamic model of magnetically-levitated (maglev) vehicle/guideway interaction. The vehicle employs a superconducting electromagnetic suspension system with canted ...

Abstract: Part II of this paper proposes the use of optimal preview control with integral action for a maglev vehicle with a superconducting electromagnetic suspension system operating on an elevated, ...

Abstract: The statistical characteristics of turbulent two-phase pipe flow have been evaluated. In particular, the autocorrelation functions and the power spectral density functions of the axial turbulence ...
