Pavement surface unevenness plays a pivotal role on roughness index of road which affects on riding comfort ability. Comfort ability refers to the degree of protection offered to vehicle occupants from uneven elements in the road surface. So, it is preferable to have a lower roughness index value for a better riding quality of road users. Roughness is generally defined as an expression of irreg...

In this paper we develop, study, and test a Lie group multisymplectic integrator for geometrically exact beams based on the covariant Lagrangian formulation. We exploit the multisymplectic character of the integrator to analyze the energy and momentum map conservations associated to the temporal and spatial discrete evolutions.

A new electronically tunable differential integrator (ETDI) and its extension to voltage controlled quadrature oscillator (VCQO) design with linear tuning law are proposed; the active building block is a composite current feedback amplifier with recent multiplication mode current conveyor (MMCC) element. Recently utilization of two different kinds of active devices to form a composite building ...

The leaky integrator, the basis for many neuronal models, possesses a negative group delay when a time-delayed recurrent inhibition is added to it. By means of this delay, the leaky integrator becomes a predictor for some frequency components of the input signal. The prediction properties are derived analytically, and an application to a local field potential is provided.

This article studies 2-D formation stabilization and maneuvering of mobile agents governed by double-integrator dynamics. The desired is described a set triple-agent interior angles. A carefully chosen such angle constraints guarantees that the rigid. To achieve rigid formation, control law proposed using only local velocity direction measurements. We show closed-loop dynamics when each agent m...

Introduction: The leaky integrator is a key subsystem in pulse-mode artificial neuron implementations [1]. In most implementations reported to date this function has been implemented with the explicit use of integrated capacitors and with fixed time constants. More recently it has been noted that mimicking real biological systems is better accomplished if the integrator time constants are adapt...
