dynamic economic load dispatch is one of the most important roles of power generation’s operation and control. it determines the optimal controls of production of generator units with predicted load demand over a certain period of time. economic dispatch at minimum production cost is one of the most important subjects in the power network’s operation, which is a complicated nonlinear constraine...

Ball screw drives are widely used as the motion delivery mechanism due to their high stiffness and high accuracy. As the speed and precision requirements from machine tools increase, the effects of the structural flexibility of the drives on controller performance are becoming increasingly significant. The vibrations adversely affect the positioning accuracy and performance of the drive. The na...

INTRODUCTION Forward fall-related distal radius fractures account for approximately 20% of all fractures and continue to be the most commonly seen by orthopaedic surgeons [1]. Regardless, our understanding of how these injuries result from dynamic, three dimensional impacts is limited. Duma et al. in 2002 [2] presented an injury risk criteria model for these fractures that included peak axial f...

This paper studies dynamic stability of homogeneous beams with piezoelectric layers subjected to periodic axial compressive load that is simply supported at both ends lies on a continuous elastic foundation. The displacement field of beam is assumed based on Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. Applying the Hamilton's principle, the governing dynamic equation is established. The influences of applied v...

in this paper, the modified euler-bernoulli beam model is presented to examine the influence of surface elasticity and residual surface tension on the critical force of axial buckling of nanotubes in the presence of rotary inertia. an explicit solution is derived for the buckling loads of microscaled euler beams considering surface effects. the size-dependent buckling behavior of the nanotube d...

In this article simulation studies have been carried out on the dynamic performance of a hydrostatic transmission (HST) system using two motor summation drive. In this respect a closed loop HST system that consists of a variable displacement swashplate controlled axial piston pump and bent axis piston motors is considered. Bondgraph simulation technique is used to model the hydrostatic drive sy...

A wide column test of a composite isogrid panel subjected to quasi-static, axial compression is modeled with a hybrid-static dynamic computational method. The data from the test panel exhibited discontinuous responses in the compressive load for slowly increased end-shortening. The computational model was developed to corroborate these discontinuities with the phenomenon of mode jumping. Mode j...

Offshore wind-turbine support structures are largely made of steel since monopiles have accounted for the majority installations in last decade. As turbines become bigger, led to an exponential increase material and installation costs. From this point view, use concrete future has been initiated. In study, concrete–steel composite piles investigated. A pre-tensioned high strength pile was place...

A mathematical model was used to investigate the dynamic behaviour of an above-knee (AK) prosthesis in the swing phase and to analyse the influence of mass and mass distribution on the maximal stump load and the required energy. The model consists of a bondgraph model of the prosthesis and a "walking" model which predicts the walking velocity, step length and the femoral trajectory. Equipment w...

Journal bearings in hermetic reciprocating compressors are analyzed experimentally as well as numerically. The motor current and the load applied to the bearing are measured to obtain the performance curve of the journal bearing, from which the critical Sommerfeld number is derived. In the numerical analysis, the Reynolds equation and equilibrium equations of the journal center are solved simul...
