Abstract: In the robotics field control laws taking into account the nonlinearities caused by the mechanical structure have been proposed, assuming that the drive system is linear. These control laws are ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of an electropneumatic system composed of two electropneumatic interfaces and a pneumatic cylinder. The model used is a simplified nonlinear model which takes into ...

Abstract: A simplified, inelastic analysis of helical coil tubing for high-temperature applications is described. Elastically calculated operating stresses are compared with inelastic estimates of allowable ...

Abstract: The paper describes the results of an experimental study of the effect of Mach number, Reynolds number, inlet flow angle, and free-stream turbulence level on heat transfer rate to a gas turbine ...

Abstract: In an important chemical apparatus, admission of three fluids had to be made in quantities required by the correct reaction cycle. For the control of the fluid admission valves, four-bar ...

Abstract: The authors surveyed 55 university departments in the United States and Canada that grant doctor of philosophy and/or master of science degrees in meteorology or the atmospheric sciences. Two-thirds of university departments ...

Abstract: This study presents a systematic comparison of the distributions of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) and lightning for 19 geographical regions classified as land, ocean, or a mixture of land and ocean between 35°N and ...

Abstract: This paper presents measurements of heat transfer to cold surfaces at conditions simulating advanced gas turbine conditions and their use to examine the range of applicability of viable predictive ...

Abstract: This work outlines a cohesive approach for the design and implementation of a genetically optimized, active aeroelastic delta wing. Emphasis was placed on computational efficiency of model ...
