Observer-Based ℋ∞ Feedback Control for Arbitrarily Time-Varying Discrete-Time Systems With Intermittent Measurements and Input Constraints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the observer-based ℋ∞ feedback control problem for discrete-time systems subject intermittent measurements and constrained control inputs. To characterize the practical ...
Delay-Dependent Stabilization of Discrete-Time Systems With Time-Varying Delay via Switching Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the stabilization problem of time-delay discrete-time systems with occurrence probabilities for time delays. Using an augmenting technique, we convert random time-delay ...
Numerical Study of Containment of Spilled Medium-Viscosity Oil in Wave–Current Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Offshore oil spills can greatly harm marine ecological environments. The containment boom is a simple and effective tool that can effectively prevent the spread of oil spills, reduce the oil-spreading region, and work with ...
Modified Generalized Predictive Control of Networked Systems With Application to a Hydraulic Position Control System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the design of networked control systems using the modified generalized predictive control (M-GPC) method. Both sensor-to-controller (S-C) and controller-to-actuator (C-A) ...
Simplified Model for Vertical Vibrations of Surface Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simplified model for simulating unbounded soil in the vertical vibration problems of surface foundations is presented. The model comprises a mass, a spring, and a dashpot without any internal degree of freedom. By ...
Further Study on Atmospheric Lapse Rate Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Lapse rate, moist adiabatic lapse rate and the critical lapse rate for baroclinic adjustment are calculated as was done by Stone and Carlson using a different data set covering both hemispheres. Results show very good ...
An Earth Outgoing Longwave Radiation Climate Model. Part II: Radiation with Clouds Included
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An Earth outgoing longwave radiation (OLWR) climate model was constructed for radiation budget studies. The model consists of the upward radiative transfer parameterization of Thompson and Warren, the cloud cover model of ...
An Earth Outgoing Longwave Radiation Climate Model. Part I: Clear Sky Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An Earth outgoing longwave radiation (OLWR) climate model has been constructed for a monthly average radiation budget study. The model consists of the upward radiative transfer parameterization of Thompson and Warren and ...
An Improved Cloud Retrieval Algorithm Using HIRS2-MSU Radiance Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud-top heights and cloud amounts are produced as part of the operational processing of polar-satellite data at the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS). These products were compared ...
Inorganic–Organic Hybrid of Lunar Soil Simulant and Polyethylene
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Inorganic–organic hybrid (IOH) lunar cements are processed by using a lunar soil simulant and polyethylene (PE). As the inorganic simulant grains are strongly held together by the PE binder, the IOH may be utilized as an ...
