A reliable multi-step predictor is very useful to a wide array of applications to forecast the behavior of dynamic systems. The objective of this paper is to develop a more robust data-driven predictor for time series forecasting. Based on simulation analysis, it is found that multi-step-ahead forecasting schemes based on step inputs perform better than those based on sequential inputs. It is a...

The dynamic nature of hybrid systems involves discrete switching behavior between several operating modes and continuous plant dynamics governed by continuous models in each mode. State estimation is a important class of approaches for online monitoring and diagnosis of hybrid systems, which relies on the estimation of unknown variables using a filtering approach. Focused hybrid estimation meth...

Abstract The aim of this study is to develop coupled matrix formulations characterize the dynamic interaction between vehicle, track, and tunnel. vehicle–track system established in light dynamics theory. physical characteristics mechanical behavior tunnel segments rings are modeled by finite element method, while soil layers vehicle–track–tunnel (VTT) as an assemblage 3-D mapping infinite elem...

Locks are efficient concurrent control mechanisms to ensure that shared resources are accessed by only a single thread in multi-threaded applications. However, for multi-core systems, lock usage leads to lock contention, which degrades program performance, increases system response time, and negatively affects scalability. This paper initially models lock contention from two aspects: static str...

regarding increasing importance of tank wagons and efficiency in fluids transportation, their usage is increasing every day. thus paying attention to their designs just as dynamic analysis of wagons during travelling time is vitally important. in this task, sloshing coefficient as prominent parameter in tank wagons designing has been investigated. to ease of efficient design, theses parameters ...
