Nonlinear Dynamics: An Intuitive Digital Representation of Structure
نویسنده
چکیده
The article discusses the pedagogic advantages of structural analysis software based on nonlinear dynamic structural theory, in contrast to software most commonly used in architectural education which is based in linear static theory. Traditionally, structural education in both architecture and engineering has considered nonlinear dynamic theory to be an advanced-level tool, reserved for graduate level engineering study. The article illustrates that with an appropriate interactive interface, nonlinear dynamics can support on-screen structural models that are far more physically intuitive. The article includes examples of student work from a first course in structural design.

متن کاملGlobal Stabilization of Attitude Dynamics: SDRE-based Control Laws
The State-Dependant Riccati Equation method has been frequently used to design suboptimal controllers applied to nonlinear dynamic systems. Different methods for local stability analysis of SDRE controlled systems of order greater than two such as the attitude dynamics of a general rigid body have been extended in literature; however, it is still difficult to show global stability properties of...

متن کاملFPGA Implementation of a Hammerstein Based Digital Predistorter for Linearizing RF Power Amplifiers with Memory Effects
Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear elements and digital predistortion is a highly cost-effective approach to linearize them. Although most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity, memory effects of the PAs in many applications ,such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), can no longer b...
