Abstract: Excessive internal pressure and high temperature are the key reasons for concrete spalling, and there are complex interactions between these two aspects. In the current research, a theoretical model to predict the pore ...

Abstract: During the practical applications, the existence of measurement biases brings a great challenge to the attitude control design because they can lead to the mismatched disturbances in the spacecraft attitude kinematics. In ...

Abstract: The book Introduction to Plastics Engineering offers a broad and accurate coverage of plastics engineering, an engineering subject guiding the design and manufacture of useful products from plastic materials, mainly ...

Abstract: This paper presents a system modeling technique for a highspeed gantrytype machine tool driven by linear motors. One feed axis of the investigated machine tool is driven by the joint thrust from two parallel linear motors. ...

Abstract: A desired compensation adaptive robust control (DCARC) framework is presented for nonlinear systems having both parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities. The paper first considers a ...

Abstract: The use of fuzzy chip to implement the control of machining processes is investigated. The hardware solution can process rules in fuzzy controllers at high speed. In this paper, fuzzy-chip-based ...

Abstract: Repetitive controllers have been shown to be effective for tracking periodic reference commands with known period. For a reference with fixed period, its implementation can be done with time fixed sampling where an integer ...

Abstract: Pin fin or full cross pin cooling configurations have long been of interest to the turbine cooling designer because of their potentially high heat transfer characteristics and high surface area ...

Abstract: In this paper, a solution to the quasistatic adhesive contact problem between a rigid cylinder and a transversely isotropic substrate is extended to the most general case by taking adhesion hysteresis into account. An ...

Abstract: The jitter control technique by using dual-stage vibration isolation system for optical payload on satellites is discussed, and it is applied on a satellite to improve the imaging performance. The dual-stage vibration ...
