Abstract: Twodimensional (2D) equations of piezoelectric bimorph nanoactuators are presented which take account of the surface effect. The surface effect of the bimorph structure is treated as a surface layer with zero thickness. ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with meansquare stabilization of singleinput Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs) with logarithmically quantized state feedback. We introduce the concepts and provide explicit constructions of ...

Abstract: A new response surface methodology (RSM) based neural network (NN) modeling method is proposed for finnedtube evaporator performance evaluation under dry and wet conditions. Two RSM designs, Box–Behnken design (BBD) and ...

Abstract: In this paper, we have addressed a slidingmode switching control scheme with disturbance observer for a class of singleinput singleoutput (SISO) discrete switched nonlinear systems which suffer from uncertain parameters. ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new method of state space reconstruction is proposed for the nonstationary time-series. The nonstationary time-series is first converted into its analytical form via the Hilbert transform, which retains ...

Abstract: We theoretically study the electromechanical behaviors of a laminated thin-film piezoelectric semiconductor (PS) composite plate with flexural deformation. The nonlinear equations for drift currents of electrons and holes ...

Abstract: Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is very important to guarantee the safety of manufacturing. Periodic impulsive fault features commonly appear in vibration measurements when local defects occur in the key components ...
