Abstract: A new algorithm is presented for finding reduced-order models of the linear time-invariant systems. Proposed recursive algorithm minimizes a weighted mean squared impulse (or step) response error ...

Abstract: This study presents exact relationships between the bending solutions of sectorial plates based on the Kirchhoff (or classical thin) plate theory and the Mindlin plate theory. While the former plate theory neglects the ...

Abstract: Periodic rubber removal from runway pavement surface is necessary to keep an airport runway safe for aircraft operations. However, due to the complex relationship between pavement friction and aircraft skidding, there are ...

Abstract: This paper presents exact axisymmetric bending solutions of circular and annular plates based on the higher-order plate theory of Levinson. The solutions are displayed in terms of the corresponding Kirchhoff (or classical ...

Abstract: The aim of the work presented in this paper is to enable production of large, complex components on rapid prototyping machines whose build volume is less than the size of the desired component. ...

Abstract: A study on the constitutive models of tumor tissues is critical for the advancement of computational tools for clinical diagnosis and treatment plans. In this respect, continuum based constitutive ...
