in this study, the stability problem of a circular orthotropic cylindrical shell under the effect of anaxial compression varying with a power function of time is considered. at first, the modified donnell typedynamic stability and compatibility equations are obtained using love’s shell theory. applying the galerkinmethod and rayleigh-ritz variational techniques to these equations and taking the...

the paper is concerned with robust stability criteria for takagi- sugeno (t-s) fuzzy systems with distributed delays and time delay in the leakage term. by exploiting a model transformation, the system is converted to one of the neutral delay system. global robust stability result is proposed by a new lyapunov-krasovskii functional which takes into account the range of delay and by making use o...

foaming conditions of the red beet (beta vulgaris l) puree were optimized using response surface methodology (rsm) with respect to arabic gum concentrations (0.01 – 0.4% w/w), red beet puree (40 _ 60% w/w),egg white concentration( 5 _ 15% w/w) and whipping time (3 – 9 min) for minimum foam density and foam drainage volume as response variables. foams were prepared from various pulp concentratio...

We develop a linear systems theory that coincides with the existing theories for continuous and discrete dynamical systems, but that also extends to linear systems defined on nonuniform time scales. The approach here is based on generalized Laplace transform methods (e.g. shifts and convolution) from the recent work [13]. We study controllability in terms of the controllability Gramian and vari...

Many useftil descriptions of stochastic models can be obtained from functional limit theorems (invariance principles or weak convergence theorems for probability meastires on function ŝpaces). These descriptions typically come from standard functional limit theorems via the o^ntinuous mapping theorem. This paper facilitates applications of the continuous mapping theorem by determining when seve...

In this paper we introduce some stability criteria for impulsive fuzzy system of differential equations with finite delay in states. Firstly, a new comparison principle for fuzzy differential system compared to crisp ordinary differential equation, based on a notion of upper quasi-monotone nondecreasing, in N dimentional state space is presented. Furthermore, in order to analyze the stability o...

This paper considers the problem of computing the state reachable points, from the origin, of a linear constant coefficient first or higher order descriptor system. A method is proposed that allows to compute the reachable set in a numerically stable way. The original descriptor system is transformed into a strangeness-free system within the behavioral framework followed by a projection that se...

The stability of feedback systems consisting of linear time-delay plants and PID controllers has been investigated for many years by means of several methods, of which the Nyquist criterion, a generalization of the Hermite-Biehler Theorem, and the root location method are well known. The main purpose of these researches is to determine the range of controller parameters that allow stability. Ex...

Abstract: In this paper, we obtain some preliminary results on stochastic control theory for time-varying linear systems both continuous and discrete, and further apply to aperiod sample-data linear systems. The Itö’s lemma is utilized in this proposed theory, and deduced that the stability of a linear time-varying system is determined by the eigenvalues expectation of system matrix, which coin...
