Abstract: A nonlinear continuous controller is developed for a class of uncertain dynamic delay-systems in the presence of matched and unmatched uncertainties. The controller designed guarantees uniform ...

Abstract: This brief deals with the stabilization of a class of time-delay systems subject to external disturbance vectors whose bounds are not known. A continuous adaptive variable structure controller ...

Abstract: A robust adaptive controller is developed for a class of uncertain linear dynamic delay-systems where the bound of uncertainty is unknown but its functional form is known. It is shown that ...

Abstract: Several delay-dependent criteria to test the stability of time-delay systems that were proposed require solving the Lyapunov matrix equation. This can be a troublesome task and often nontrivial. ...

Abstract: The problem of robust stabilization of a class of dynamic systems subject to time delays, external disturbance, and control saturation is addressed in this paper. Delay-dependent sufficient ...

Abstract: The papers represented in this edition of the Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology (JEMT) were presented at the Third International Conference on Polymer Behavior (ICPB3), which was ...

Abstract: The results of wear tests and surface analyses confirmed that the wear behavior in the presence of ZDDP is controlled by chemically reacted surface films. Surface analysis by Auger microprobe ...

Abstract: Due to increasing popularity of using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) for external strengthening of concrete structures, an urgent demand for understanding the structural behavior of FRP-strengthened structures has been ...
