in this paper, a general elastoplastic-damage constitutive model considering the effect of strain rate has been developed. the derivation of this model has been cast into the irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables within the fundamentals of continuum damage mechanics (cdm). the rate effect has been involved as an additional term into the plastic yield surface (dynamic plastic yield...

A generalized simplified model for describing the dynamic behavior of distributed parameter systems is proposed. The various specific characteristics of gain and phase angle of distributed parameter systems are investigated from frequency response formulation and complex plane representation of the proposed simplified model. The complex plane investigation renders some important inequality cons...

A dynamic reduced order model using integral manifold theory has been derived, which can be used to simulate the DOIG wind turbine using a double-winding representation of the generator rotor. The model is suitable for use in transient stability programs that can be used to investigate large power systems. The behavior of a wind farm and the network under various system disturbances was stu...

In this research, the demand function of drinkable  water in Qazvin Province was estimated using dynamic and static methods. The required data were collected from the data of the provinces of Qazvin in the time period (1996-2016) and collected by referring to the statistical system of Statistics Center of Iran and the provincial planning and budget organization of Qazvin Province. The explanato...

robust control design of vehicles addresses the effect of uncertainties on the vehicle’s performance. in present study, the robust optimal multi-objective controller design on a non-linear full vehicle dynamic model with 8-degrees of freedom having parameter with probabilistic uncertainty considering two simultaneous conflicting objective functions has been made to prevent the rollover. the obj...

â â â â  libya experienced a substantial increase in oil revenue as a result of increased oil prices during the period of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and again after 2000. recent increases in oil production and the price of oil, and their positive and negative macroeconomic impacts upon key macroeconomic variables, are of considerable contemporary importance to an oil dependent economy such...

background: understanding customers has become an urgent topic for increasing competitiveness. the purpopse of  the study was to develop a qualitative dynamic attribute value model which provides insight into the customers' value for healthcare institute managers by conducting the initial open-ended questionnaire survey to select participants purposefully. methods: a total number of 427 questio...

in this paper an energy dissipation rate control (edrc) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. this method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each single support phase (ssp). as yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...
