RISMechanical Energy and Equivalent Viscous Damping for Fractional Zener Oscillator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents mechanical energy and equivalent viscous damping for a single-degree-of-freedom fractional Zener oscillator. Differential equation of motion is derived in terms of fractional Zener constitutive equation ...
VHSSA Model for Predicting Short-Term Traffic Flow of Urban Road
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A short-term traffic prediction model VHSSA (prediction model based on vertical and horizontal sequence similarity algorithm) is proposed for accurate traffic prediction and dynamic route planning. The model is based on ...
Global Variability of Mesoscale Convective System Anvil Structure from A-Train Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in the tropics produce extensive anvil clouds, which significantly affect the transfer of radiation. This study develops an objective method to identify MCSs and their anvils by combining ...
Deep Convective Systems Observed by A-Train in the Tropical Indo-Pacific Region Affected by the MJO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n the Indo-Pacific region, mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) occur in a pattern consistent with the eastward propagation of the large-scale convective envelope of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). MCSs are major ...
Dynamic Effects on the Tropical Cloud Radiative Forcing and Radiation Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical velocity is used to isolate the effect of large-scale dynamics on the observed radiation budget and cloud properties in the tropics, using the methodology suggested by Bony et al. Cloud and radiation budget ...
Sliding Mode Control for Two-Degree-of-Freedom Fractional Zener Oscillator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fractional-order derivatives provide a powerful tool for the characterization of mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials. Fractional oscillators are mechanical models of viscoelastically damped structures, the ...
Lyapunov Functions and Sliding Mode Control for Two Degrees-of-Freedom and Multidegrees-of-Freedom Fractional Oscillators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses the Lyapunov functions and sliding mode control design for two degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) and multidegrees-of-freedom (MDOF) fractional oscillators. First, differential equations of motion for 2DOF ...
Equivalence of Initialized Fractional Integrals and the Diffusive Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fractional calculus is viewed as a novel and powerful tool to describe the stress and strain relations in viscoelastic materials. Consequently, the motions of engineering structures incorporated with viscoelastic dampers ...
Vertical Structures of Anvil Clouds of Tropical Mesoscale Convective Systems Observed by CloudSat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: global study of the vertical structures of the clouds of tropical mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) has been carried out with data from the CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar. Tropical MCSs are found to be dominated by ...
