Abstract: Vibration control is an effective alternative to conventional feedback and feedforward control. Motivated by its important application in physical systems and few results on general oscillatory ...

Abstract: This study investigates the dynamics of planetary gears where nonlinearity is induced by bearing clearance. Lumped-parameter and finite element models with bearing clearance, tooth separation, and ...

Abstract: Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) will potentially improve transportation system performance. Guidance on the capacity impact of CAVs at different market penetration rates (MPRs) will help agencies to incorporate the ...

Abstract: In the process of oil–gas mixing transportation, a too-high gas–oil ratio (GOR) will lead to instable flow pattern and high pipeline pressure, which has great safety risks. Therefore, it is important to determine the maximum ...

Abstract: Real-time water quality (WQ) sensors in water distribution networks (WDN) have the potential to enable network-wide observability of water quality indicators, contamination event detection, and closed-loop feedback control ...

Abstract: Batch interface tracking and contamination control are the key technologies for the operation and management of multiproduct pipelines. Existing studies only focused on sequence arrangement or segment stoppage to control ...

Abstract: Connected-and-automated vehicles (CAV) hold the potential for substantial improvements to traffic safety, travel time reliability, driver comfort, roadway capacity, environmental impacts, and users’ overall travel experience. ...
