This Letter deals with an analysis of bending edge waves propagating along the free edge of a Kirchhoff plate supported by a Winkler foundation. The presence of a foundation leads to a non-zero cut-off frequency for this wave, along with a local minimum of the associated phase velocity. This minimum phase velocity corresponds to a critical speed of an edge moving load and is analogous to that i...

This paper evaluates linear models for predicting the Digital Unix five-second host load average from 1 to 30 seconds into the future. A detailed statistical study of a large number of long, fine grain load traces from a variety of real machines leads to consideration of the Box-Jenkins models (AR, MA, ARMA, ARIMA), and the ARFIMA models (due to selfsimilarity.) These models, as well as a simpl...

This paper focuses on load management in looselycoupled federated distributed systems. We present a distributed mechanism for moving load between autonomous participants using bilateral contracts that are negotiated offline and that set bounded prices for moving load. We show that our mechanism has good incentive properties, efficiently redistributes excess load, and has a low overhead in pract...

Motivated by lateral vibration suppression of a mining cable elevator, which is load-moving system, where the load moves along viscoelastic guideway whose stiffness and damping coefficients are unknown, we present event-triggered adaptive output-feedback boundary control design hyperbolic PDE–ODE coupled system using measurements at PDE actuated ODE, subsystem class 2 × PDEs with spatially-vary...
