Abstract: The limiting form of the optimum stochastic regulator is determined which minimizes the steady-state expectation, Es {x′ Qx + u′ Ru}, for the linear process, ẋ = Aẋ + Bu + Gv, given noisy ...

Abstract: A general method for analysis of the behavior of a flexible frictionless shaft of any arbitrary configuration running inside of a guide tube with negligible clearance and transmitting torque ...

Abstract: This report covers hydrogen attack experienced in moderate-pressure utility boilers. The two steam generators involved are two-drum boilers operating at 900 psi with total steam temperature of ...

Abstract: It is already well known that alcohols can be burned in open-cycle gas turbines by direct firing in the combustor. This paper demonstrates however, that there are significant improvements in ...

Abstract: Results from an experimental study of large-scale, two-dimensional incompressible transitional boundary layer flows are presented. Tests were conducted on a heated flat wall with a zero pressure ...

Abstract: The formulation of a generalized vectorial equation of motion for small vibrations of any nonprismatic thin beam, which center line is an arbitrary space curve, is presented. The thin beam is ...

Abstract: Wilms (1995) has considered the plane motion of three lineal rigid bodies subject to linear damping over their length. He shows that these plane single-degree-of-freedom systems are governed by ...
