RISStochastic Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Slope Instability and Steady-State Seepage Flow Using Random Finite-Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The stochastic analysis of unsaturated rainfall-induced slope instability has been studied by many researchers. However, the applicability of random FEM (RFEM) has not been used enough to assess the effect of the uncertainty ...
Stochastic Analysis of Piled-Raft Foundations Using the Random Finite-Element Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The inherent variability of soil parameters noticeably influences geotechnical structures such as piled-raft foundations. In this research the application of random fields is extended to a stochastic analysis of a piled-raft ...
UAV Formation Control via the Virtual Structure Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a new formation flying approach based on virtual structure is presented. In this architecture, formation control strategies are appropriate when a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are involved. ...
A Neural Network Controller for a Class of Nonlinear Non-Minimum Phase Systems with Application to a Flexible-Link Manipulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the problem of controlling a nonlinear nonminimum phase system. An output re-definition strategy is first introduced to guarantee stable zero dynamics. This output re-definition ...
Simultaneous Fault Detection and Control Design for Switched Linear Systems: A Linear Matrix Inequality Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the problem of simultaneous fault detection and control (SFDC) for linear switched systems in discrete- and continuous-time cases under a mixed H− /H∞ framework is considered. ...
