Abstract: In this paper, a novel decentralized variable structure control (DVSC) scheme is proposed for a class of largescale timedelayed systems (LSSs) with mismatched interconnections and uncertainties. New invariance conditions ...

Abstract: AbstractField measurements are usually recognized as the most reliable method for investigating wind effects on structures. A limited study has been conducted on the behavior of long-span suspension bridges during the ...

Abstract: AbstractUsing observed and reanalysis data, the pronounced interdecadal variations of Lake Qinghai (LQH) water levels and associated climate factors were diagnosed. From the 1960s to the early 2000s, the water level of LQH ...

Abstract: An improved method for calculating the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of bridges is proposed in this article. In this method, the nonlinear characteristics of the additional aeroelastic effects during VIV versus structural ...

Abstract: AbstractIn the normal production process of fractured wells in channel reservoirs, fine sand in the near-wellbore area is discharged relying on the sand carrying capacity of crude oil, which easily leads to changes in ...

Abstract: Knowledge of the tire-road information is not only very crucial in many active safety applications but also significant for self-driving cars. The tire-road information mainly consists of tire-road friction coefficient and ...
