Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamics of the accelerating bicycle. It is shown that time-scale separation can be used to study the oscillatory characteristics of the accelerating ...

Abstract: The modeling, control, and dynamic stabilization of long-span suspension bridges are considered. By employing leading- and trailing-edge flaps in combination, we show that the critical wind speeds ...

Abstract: This paper introduces the idea of using mechanical steering compensators to improve the dynamic behavior of high-performance motorcycles. These compensators are seen as possible replacements for ...
