Abstract: For distributed parameter systems, open-loop stability in the sense of bounded outputs for bounded inputs, and closed-loop asymptotic stability are considered. Frequency domain stability criteria ...

Abstract: A necessary condition for the optimum control of a linear system with input delay or transportation lag is derived in terms of the system weighting function. For a general quadratic integrand ...

Abstract: This paper pertains to the development of a simplified model for an infinite beam subjected to a concentrated load moving with constant velocity and resting on geosynthetic-reinforced granular bed over soft soil improved ...

Abstract: By incorporating the variation of soil friction angle

Abstract: A frequency domain stability criterion (sufficient condition) for a class of distributed parameter, sampled-data systems containing a memoryless, nonlinear feedback element is presented. This criterion ...

Abstract: The bearing capacity factor

Abstract: Dynamic performance test results are provided for a verticalapplication threelobe bearing, geometrically similar to a threelobe bearing tested by Leader et al. (2010, “Evaluating and Correcting Subsynchronous Vibration ...

Abstract: Static and dynamic performance test results are provided for a threelobe bearing evaluated over the following range of radial staticload orientations (taken from the leading edge of the loaded pad): 0 deg, 20 deg, ...

Abstract: The present study aims at determining the uplift capacity of axially loaded piles in clays whose undrained cohesion increases linearly with depth. With the application of the axisymmetric static limit analysis approach, ...

Abstract: The lower- and upper-bound theorems of the limit analysis have been used in conjunction with finite elements and second-order cone programming (SOCP) for determining the bearing capacity of strip and circular skirted ...
