Abstract: Since the first Single Buoy Storage System (SBS) installed in Aquitaine-Tunisia in 1974 [1, 2], many similar systems have been installed. To facilitate oil production in Gulf Bohai, China, a ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new concept of invariant sliding sector is proposed for the design of discrete time sliding mode control. A methodology is developed which ensures the existence of the invariant ...

Abstract: A new formulation is given to the problem of vibration of beams or rods carrying a concentrated mass in which the Dirac δ-function is used in the differential equation to describe the effect ...

Abstract: A power viscoplastic constitutive equation was first proposed by Bodner and Partom in 1972. This specific formula has its origin in the physical phenomenon of dislocation dynamics and due to ...

Abstract: A numerical-analytical method for estimating steady-state periodic behavior of nonlinear rotordynamic systems is presented. Based on a finite element formulation in the time domain, this method ...

Abstract: A method is proposed for analyzing the periodic stick-slip motion of a single degree of freedom model of frictionally damped turbine blades. The method of finite elements in the time domain ...
