Abstract: Parameter estimation is an important topic in the field of system identification. This paper explores the role of a new information theory measure of data dependency in parameter estimation problems. Causation entropy is ...

Abstract: The paper reports calculations of friction pressure gradient for the special case of laminar annular flow condensation in microchannels. This is the only flow regime permitting theoretical solution without having recourse ...

Abstract: Redox flow batteries have shown great potential for a wide range of applications in future energy systems. However, the lack of a deep understanding of the key drivers of the techno-economic performance of different flow ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the problem of observer-based finite time sliding mode control (SMC) for a class of one-sided Lipschitz (OSL) systems with uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be time-varying ...

Abstract: AbstractExisting structures require to be reassessed for resilience when subjected to evolving load conditions over the years. For example, in the case of a bridge deck, a sustained trend of increase in the weight of ...

Abstract: Large-aperture parabolic trough collectors (LPTCs) are recognized as one of the most promising next-generation linear-focus concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies. However, large apertures inevitably introduce higher ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study addresses the semi-analytical solution of vibration modes for thin rectangular plates with mixed point support conditions, a scenario that has not been comprehensively explored in existing research. The ...

Abstract: ased on a network of field stations belonging to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the Campaign on Atmospheric Aerosol Research network of China (CARE-China) was recently established as the country?s first monitoring ...
