Abstract: A simple yet efficient active control method is presented for reducing the oscillations of distributed parameter systems subjected to arbitrary dynamic environments. Following determination that ...

Abstract: A computer algorithm is presented for the optimum selection of a series or train of force pulses for application to a continuous system. The optimized pulse train generates oscillations in a ...

Abstract: A simple yet efficient method is presented for the on-line control of nonlinear, multidegree-of-freedom systems responding to arbitrary dynamic environments. The control procedure uses pulse ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the conditions under which deterministic systems containing a hysteresis-type nonlinearity are identifiable from input-output measurements. The approach to the problem ...
