Sliding Mode Control for Single-degree-of-freedom Nonlinear Structures

The occurrence of catastrophic earthquakes necessitates further researches in the structure engineering for retrofitting construction structures. In this paper, the application of the active control in the structures’ seismic response has been addressed. A single degree of freedom nonlinear structure has been studied. The nonlinear dynamic of the structure is considered in which, the nonlinear ...

Degrees of Freedom and Model Search

Degrees of freedom is a fundamental concept in statistical modeling, as it provides a quantitative description of the amount of fitting performed by a given procedure. But, despite this fundamental role in statistics, its behavior is not completely well-understood, even in somewhat basic settings. For example, it may seem intuitively obvious that the best subset selection fit with subset size k...
