multi frequency vibrations of a system of two isotropic circular plates interconnected by a rolling visco-elastic layer that has nonlinear characteristics are considered. the system with two circular plates and interconnecting discrete continually distributed rolling visco nonlinear elastic rheological elements presents the model of hybrid nonlinear system. the analytical solutions of first asy...

This paper proposes a discrete-time repetitive optimal control of electrically driven robotic manipulators using an uncertainty estimator. The proposed control method can be used for performing repetitive motion, which covers many industrial applications of robotic manipulators. This kind of control law is in the class of torque-based control in which the joint torques are generated by permanen...

Distributed supervisory control is a method to synthesize local controllers in discrete-eventsystems with a systematic observation of the plant. Some works were reported on extending this methodby which local controllers are constructed so that observation properties are preserved from monolithic todistributed supervisory control, in an up-down approach. In this paper, we find circumstances in ...

This paper describes a simulation specification language and execution environments that are being used to study the performance of distributed discrete event simulation. First, a simulation programming model based on Chandy-Misra distributed discrete event simulation is presented. Then, the Yaddes simulation specification language is described. Yaddes specifications are translated into C langu...

In this paper, the distributed consensus problem is considered for discrete-time delayed networks of dynamic agents with fixed topologies, where the networks under investigation are directed and the time-delays involved are distributed time delays including a single or multiple time delay(s) as special cases. By using the invariance principle of delay difference systems, a new unified framework...

A condition based preventive and corrective maintenance policy is proposed for a continuously operating system. The condition of the system is assumed to deteriorate with time. The model incorporates both deterioration as well as random common cause failures. The deterioration stages are modeled as discrete state processes. The system is put to random inspection to know the condition. The mean ...
