The supersonic flow separating past a cylindrical afterbody generates a complex, compressible and highly turbulent flowfield. This flow models several realistic applications, such as the wake region behind projectiles, ...

The stability and bifurcation behavior of mechanical systems parametrically excited by small periodic or stochastic perturbations is studied. In the case of random excitation, the almost-sure and moment asymptotic stability ...

The utilization of synchronous machines in electric power systems as central generators and in electric drive applications as high-performance motors makes their modeling, simulation, state estimation, and analysis important ...

High performance aramid fibers, such as Kevlar, AuTx, and Twaron have been designed for ultra-high specific strength and stiffness. These fibers derive their superior properties from the high degree of molecular orientation ...

The current study investigates the structural modifications imposed in fully-developed turbulent channel flow by an isolated, wall-mounted circular cylinder. The cylinder height is chosen to specifically extend into the ...

The fraction of multiline power obtained in the line selected mode was independent of cavity losses and flow rate. Even though the magnitude of the line selected power increased, the fraction of multiline performance was ...

To validate the control algorithms experimentally, a complete controller for swing-up and balancing has been designed and implemented on the Pendubot, a two-link underactuated robot. The parameters of the Pendubot were ...

A new method is presented for the synthesis of dynamic Green's functions of complex distributed parameter systems from previously known Green's functions of their elemental substructures. The method allows for the incorporation ...
