Abstract: Often, the dynamic behavior of multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems such as robots and manipulators is studied by computer simulation. An important step in this simulation is the inversion ...

Abstract: A simple variant of recycling and rescaling method to generate inflow turbulence using unstructured grid computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes is presented. The method has been validated on large eddy simulation (LES) ...

Abstract: In this paper, consideration is given to the dynamic response of a rotating cantilever twisted and inclined airfoil blade subjected to contact loads at the free end. Starting with the basic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semiclosed-form physics-based rotordynamic analysis which determines the transient bird-strike load at the blade root and at the support bearings of a rotating fan shaft. This research considered a ...

Abstract: The development of asset life estimation tools based on historical data is essential to the effective management of pipeline assets. One tool that may assist with asset management is survival analysis. However, left-truncated ...

Abstract: In this paper, a general framework for trajectory planning and tracking is formulated for dynamically stabilized mobile systems, e.g., inverted wheeled pendulums and autonomous helicopters. Within ...

Abstract: We investigate robust adaptive controller designs for interconnected systems when no exact knowledge about the structure of the nonlinear interconnections between various subsystems is available. ...

Abstract: For optimization of classes of linear time-varying dynamic systems with n states and m control inputs, a new higher-order procedure was presented by the authors that does not use Lagrange ...

Abstract: A new procedure for optimization of linear time-varying dynamic systems has been proposed that uses transformations to embed the dynamic equations explicitly into the cost functional. This leads ...
