Abstract: Unlike input deadband, the sandwiched deadband between actuator and plant dynamics is very difficult to be explicitly compensated for due to the proceeding actuator dynamics whose effect may not ...

Abstract: Complexity analysis is an important tool for research on water resources. Although physical methods and quantitative detection are typically used to explore system complexity, this study uses a method combining probabilistic ...

Abstract: Integral panels are widely used in aerospace industries. A filling roll bending process is proposed to form integral panels. Filling roll bending experiments of aluminum alloy integral panels ...

Abstract: For one heat exchanger model of three-row flat tube bank fin mounted with vortex generators (VGs), the effect of transversal tube pitch on heat/mass transfer performance was investigated by the ...

Abstract: A number of experimental and analytical studies have been conducted on the axial compressive behavior of square concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, but there still exist several controversies on this issue because ...

Abstract: The surface performance of basalt aggregate shows a great influence on the interfacial adhesion between basalt aggregate and asphalt binder and further affects the moisture stability of the asphalt mixture. To improve the ...

Abstract: A laidback fan-shaped hole is commonly used due to its superior lateral film coverage. Its discharge coefficient is significantly influenced by internal crossflow owing to its complex geometrical structure. In this paper, ...
