In this paper, an optimal adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed for anti-synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic systems. We use hyperchaotic complex T-system for master and slave systems with unknown parameters in the slave system. To construct the optimal adaptive sliding mode controller, first a simple sliding surface is designed. Then, the optimal adaptive sliding mode controll...

in this paper a mesh-free model of the functionally graded material (fgm) plate is presented.  the piezoelectric material as a sensor and actuator has been distributed on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. the formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory (clpt) and the principle of virtual displacements. moreover, the particle swarm optimization (pso) ...

most impact tests are carried out on specimens with specific stacking sequence and dimensions to meet standard and experimental limitations. the damaged areas and the resulted reduction in the strength values of specimens may not agree very well with those of real application. in this paper an attempt is made to study the variation in the size of damaged areas due to varying the dimension of te...

initially, the first aim of the present study is to model 3-axle rigid truck by developing a code inmatlab. secondly, each equation should be drived by acquisition of lagrange approach. afterderiving equations successfully, validation is performed by some result which was mentioned inbohao li's master thesis. although the present approach is totally different from the approachthat boahao li use...

in recent years, many manufacturing industries for promoting their efficiency have tended to use the automatic manufacturing systems. expanding automatic systems and to increase their complexity are representing the necessity of studying a proper functional quality and using reliable equipment in such systems more than ever. in this direction, the technique of fault tree analysis (fta), along w...

molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of kob-anderson binary lennard-jones (blj) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. the presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...

background and aim: the present study aimed at determination of the fatigue resistance and failure mode of cusp-replacing onlays in endodontically treated premolars using indirect composite resin restorations. materials and method: in this experimental study, 84 human premolars were randomly divided into 7 groups of 12. these groups were prepared as follows: intact teeth used in group1 as contr...

background: the aim of the study was to discuss on the influential factors of the mode of classification of partition management in the emergency triage. method: retrospectively analyzing the effects of emergency triage of 156 cases who adopted the classification partition management mode during oct 2014 to oct 2015 in xuzhou central hospital (xuzhou, jiangsu province, china). they were divided...

abstract background: the number of women who select cesarean section due to fear of childbirth has increased. role play education seems to be a helpful method to remove or reduce the fear of childbirth. therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of role play education on primiparous women’s fear of natural delivery and their decision on the mode of delivery. materials and methods: in...
