Abstract: A new lemma is proposed to determine the negative imaginary (NI) properties of time-delay systems of retarded and neutral types. The lemma is employed for stability analysis in the context of positive feedback interconnection ...

Abstract: In this paper, the hydrodynamics of a single transient slug in a voided line was investigated numerically and experimentally. In the experiments, the liquid slugs of various lengths were propelled ...

Abstract: Sustained research and development work on the utilization of waste (fly ash and silica fume) for various productive uses have been carried out. In the construction industry, major attention has been devoted to the use of ...

Abstract: Two major earthquakes with magnitudes

Abstract: Although traffic circles have been widely used in Turkey for many years, only a few researchers are aware of the advantages of roundabouts. In recent years, few traffic circles were designed as roundabouts in Turkey, but ...

Abstract: Although many traffic circles have been designed in Turkey, in recent years few studies have been made on the capacity and performance of roundabouts. In practice, two major problems at intersections need to be solved: ...

Abstract: The operable frequency range of the delayed resonators (DR) is known to be narrow due to stability issues. This study presents a novel approach for DR design with a combined feedback strategy that consists of a delayed ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to develop an optimal life extension management strategy for ageing offshore wind farms. Finding the appropriate performance metric for an operation is essential for a durable, reliable, ...

Abstract: In railway tracks, additional stresses occur in rails due to interaction between the rail and the bridge superstructure, which is a phenomenon known as track–bridge interaction (TBI). The additional rail stresses (ARSs) ...
