RISAdaptive Robust Stabilization of Rossler System With Time Varying Mismatched Parameters Via Scalar Input
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an adaptive robust controller for a class of uncertain chaotic Rossler system with timevarying mismatched parameters. The proposed controller is designed based on Lyapunov stability theory, and it is ...
Challenges of Density Increase and Carrying Capacity in Established
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A neighborhood-based planning approach is increasingly seen as an essential part
Numerical Study of the Piezocone Test in Sandy Soil under Different Drainage Conditions Using a Hypoplastic Constitutive Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The piezocone penetration test (CPTu) is a common geotechnical field test to evaluate soil properties. In interpreting the CPTu field measurements, soil drainage conditions are mostly considered completely drained or ...
Financial-Based Incentive Plan to Reduce Construction Waste
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction materials wastage has always been a problem in construction projects. This study was conducted to address a long-standing debate in the area of construction waste reduction: financially incentivizing or ...
Challenges of Nightlife Realization in Urban Public Spaces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract Urban public spaces are mostly considered a basic part of cities since they can contribute
to urban livability. However, what is less noticeable is the realization of nightlife
in such spaces. Although nightlife ...
Finite-Element Modeling and Parametric Study of Glulam Beam-and-Deck Floors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Small-amplitude cyclic vertical motions of timber floors perceived as unacceptable by humans are commonly the result of walking impact forces. Contemporary vibration serviceability guidelines mainly require prediction of ...
Regional Hydrological Drought Monitoring Using Principal Components Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Drought quantification is a decision-making approach for water resources planners and managers. There are different statistical methods for regional quantification of droughts, depending on the event being regionally ...
Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control Via Torque Vectoring Differential and Electronic Stability Control to Improve Vehicle Handling and Stability Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposed a full vehicle state estimation and developed an integrated chassis control by coordinating electronic stability control (ESC) and torque vectoring differential (TVD) systems to improve vehicle handling ...
Multiobjective Optimization for Water Resource Management in Low-Flow Areas Based on a Coupled Surface Water–Groundwater Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Optimal operation of water resource systems requires understanding the interaction between the surface water and groundwater in the region of interest. Furthermore, model parameters as well as effective surface and underground ...
A Heuristic Approach to Forecasting the Delivery Time of Major Project Deliverables
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Having a simple and practical approach to forecast project milestones is extremely valuable to managers, especially in megaprojects in which the stakes are high. This paper, based on past records of similarly completed ...
