Abstract: A method of simulating a class of hyperbolic distributed systems without using space discretization is presented. Complex distributed systems are realized by means of subsystems of basic distributed ...

Abstract: The classical filtering and prediction problem is re-examined using the Bode-Shannon representation of random processes and the “state-transition” method of analysis of dynamic systems. New results ...

Abstract: A new analytical approach to approximate min-max equivalent linearization is presented for symmetrical autonomous systems with a single degree of freedom. It also serves as a foundation for ...

Abstract: A new analytical method is presented, allowing direct, easy and accurate computation of the nonlinear waterlevel oscillations occurring in a simple surge tank under instantaneous load rejection. ...

Abstract: A shallow solar pond was designed from inexpensive plastic materials and tested during the summer months. The bag containing the water consisted of a black polyethylene bottom (1.5 mil) covered ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to obtain stability conditions for a class of nonlinear distributed-parameter systems by using a generalization of Liapunov’s direct method. Sufficient conditions for ...

Abstract: Using reflux solar receivers to collect solar energy for dish-Stirling electric power generation systems is presently being investigated by several organizations, including Sandia National Laboratories, ...

Abstract: The hunting stability of the 3-axle locomotive truck is evaluated, using a linear eleven degree of freedom model. Predictions from the model are validated with test data, and the effects of ...
