Abstract: A methodology for suppressing the elastodynamic responses of high-speed flexible linkage mechanisms by employing a state feedback optimal control scheme is proposed. This permits the mechanisms ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of an investigation on the system dynamics and the controller design of a linear compressor for stroke and frequency adjustment. A system dynamics model was derived ...

Abstract: Wall forces on helically buckled pipe can cause large frictional forces that may prevent movement of the pipe in steeply inclined holes. A method of analyzing the dependency of the wall contact ...

Abstract: This paper presents a stochastic analysis of a tapered column subjected to gravity as well as horizontal and vertical earthquake accelerations. The normal mode approach is used. The approach considers the effect of both ...

Abstract: In this paper, control and identification methods for vortex wakes are investigated. The particular problem studied concerns the stabilization of vortices behind a flat plate, using backside ...
