Abstract: Semiactive control has received extensive attention because it can attain a similar control gain as active control while requiring a smaller external power supply. The critical step of semiactive control refers to the ...

Abstract: A novel dynamic physical model for a magnetorheological (MR) damper is proposed. In this model, the hysteretic properties are considered to result from the difference between the working mechanism of MR fluids in their ...

Abstract: Aerodynamic instability is a primary reason for the failure of single-axis solar trackers. A section model wind tunnel test of a practical single-axis solar tracker engineering case is conducted to examine the characteristics ...
