In this article, we introduce a method for monitoring the Weibull shape parameter β with type II (failure) censored data. The control limits depend on the sample size, the number of censored observations, the target average run length, and the stable value of β. The method assumes that the scale parameter α is constant during each sampling period, which is true under rational subgrouping. The p...

In this paper, an analysis of free vibration in functionally graded nanoplate is presented. Third-order shear deformation plate theory is used to reach more accuracy in results. Small-scale effects are investigated using Eringen`s nonlocal theory. The governing equations of motion are obtained by Hamilton`s principle. It is assumed that the properties of nanoplates vary through their thicknesse...

This paper presents a numerically attractive approach to design reduced-order multi-objective H2/H∞ controllers for discrete-time linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems. The proposed controller synthesis approach relies on an a priori computed polynomially parameter-dependent fullorder LPV controller that stabilizes the LPV system for all possible parameter trajectories. This full-order control...

In this work, we have studied Joule heating in carbon nanotube based very large scale integration (VLSI) interconnects and incorporated Joule heating influenced scattering in our previously developed current transport model. The theoretical model explains breakdown in carbon nanotube resistance which limits the current density. We have also studied scattering parameters of carbon nanotube (CNT)...

If the energy spread of a beam is larger then the Pierce parameter, the FEL gain length increases dramatically and the FEL output gets suppressed. We show that if the energy distribution of such a beam is made oscillatory on a small scale, the gain length can be considerably decreased. Such an oscillatory energy distribution is generated by first modulating the beam energy with a laser via the ...

this article investigates the nonlinear, steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible eyring-powell non-newtonian fluid from an isothermal sphere with biot number effects. the transformed conservation equations are solved numerically subject to physically appropriate boundary conditions using a second-order accurate implicit finite-difference keller box technique. the influ...

Parameter tuning is a fundamental problem that has to be handled by any Big Data analytics system. Identifying the optimal model parameters is an interactive, human-in-the-loop process that requires many hours – if not days and months – even for experienced data scientists. We argue that the incapacity to evaluate multiple parameter configurations simultaneously and the lack of support to quick...

Near a critical point, the time scale of thermally induced fluctuations diverges in a manner determined by the dynamic universality class. Experiments have verified predicted three-dimensional dynamic critical exponents in many systems, but similar experiments in two dimensions have been lacking for the case of conserved order parameter. Here we analyze the time-dependent correlation functions ...
