Abstract: This paper presents a novel fault diagnosis approach in satellite systems for identifying time-varying thruster faults. To overcome the difficulty in identifying time-varying thruster faults by ...

Abstract: Higher-order homogenization of an initial/boundary-value problem with oscillatory coefficients in one dimension is studied. Validity range and limitations of the theory are established. We show that the higher terms are ...

Abstract: This study assesses the relative impacts of model resolutions, tropical cyclone (TC) trackers, and ocean coupling on simulating TC climatology over the western North Pacific (WNP) based on six Coupled Model Intercomparison ...

Abstract: Random normal contact vibrations, excited by surface irregularities swept through the contact region of Hertzian contacts during sliding, are studied using digital simulation techniques. The input ...

Abstract: The dynamic stability behavior of a cantilever shaft-disk system subjected to axial periodic forces varying with time is studied by the finite element method. The equations of motion for such ...

Abstract: Natural vibrations of a simply supported rectangular bimodulus thick plate subjected to a combination of pure bending stress and extensional stress in the plane of the plate is investigated. ...

Abstract: The stability of a cantilever column, carrying a concentrated mass at the free end and resting on an elastic foundation of the Winkler-type, subjected to uniformly distributed in-plane follower ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new algorithm to estimate the optimal steady-state Kalman filter gain of a linear, discrete-time, time-invariant stochastic system from nonoptimal Kalman filter residuals. ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric dynamic stability of rotating sandwich circular plates with a constrained damping layer subjected to a periodic uniform radial loading along the outer edge of the host plate ...

Abstract: Ready-mixed soil material (RMSM) is a new range of soil material with physical properties lying between controlled low-strength material (CLSM) and soil cement. The design approach of RMSM combines the advantages of both ...
