in this paper the optimal design of a dissipator made of aluminium and steel and principallysubjected to shear forces and the preliminary results of the characterization tests are described.the device has been designed on the basis of an optimization procedure with the objective tomaximize the energy dissipated in the device. the response of a 3d frame equipped with thedevice and subjected to 7...

this paper deals with a globally convergent adaptive and sliding mode control of a cart-pole inverted pendulum for trajectory tracking in the presence of a bounded measurement noise and parameter uncertainty. two kinds of controllers have been used for evaluation of tracking error in presence of a bounded noise; as a result, we want to compare that at what time we can see the convergence of tra...

we present a numerical study of a one-dimensional version of the burridge-knopoff model [16] of n-site chain of spring-blocks with stick-slip dynamics. our numerical analysis and computer simulations lead to a set of different results corresponding to different boundary conditions. it is shown that we can convert a chaotic behaviour system to a highly ordered and periodic behaviour by making on...

The current paper proposes a technique for the numerical solution of linear control systems.The method is based on Galerkin method, which uses the interpolating scaling functions. For a highly accurate connection between functions and their derivatives, an operational matrix for the derivatives is established to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. Several test problems are given...
