This article concentrates on the event-driven controller design problem for a class of nonlinear single input output parametric systems with full state constraints. A varying threshold triggering mechanism is exploited, which makes communication more flexible. Moreover, from viewpoint energy conservation and consumption reduction, system capability becomes better owing to contribution proposed ...

Rock masses generally contain many fissures filled with weak materials. At present, the interaction mechanisms of crack coalescence and seepage in rock are still poorly understood. Therefore, this study conducts systematic laboratory tests on sandstone samples two under hydromechanical coupling conditions. The influences fissures, filling, ligament length, bridge angle strength, fracture patter...

A wing-design study has been conducted on a 65 swept leading-edge delta wing in which the wing geometry was modi ed to take advantage of the naturally occurring ow that forms over a slender wing in a supersonic ow eld. Three-dimensional nonlinear analysis methods were used in the study which was divided into three parts|preliminary design, initial design, and nal design. In the preliminary desi...

The aim of this paper is to provide an aeroelastic computational tool which determines the induced wing loads during flapping flight. For this purpose, a Finite Element (FE) code based on a four-node plate bending element formulation is developed to simulate the aeroelastic behavior of flapping wings in low incompressible flow. A quasi-steady aerodynamic model is incorporated into the aeroelast...

Once segmentation of 3D surface data of a rock pile has been performed, the next task is to determine the visibility of the surface rocks. A region boundary-following algorithm that accommodates irregularly spaced 3D coordinate data is presented for determining this visibility. We examine 3D surface segmentations of laboratory rock piles and determine which regions in the segmentation correspon...

the carob moth, ectomyelois ceratoniae (zeller), belongs to the family pyralidae and the subfamily phycitinae. in spite of some features of sexual dimorphism in size and shape in the order lepidoptera and the mentioned family, it has not been recorded in this species. in the current study, sexual dimorphism in the wing shape and size of carob moth on four hosts (pomegranate, fig, pistachio and ...

Extensive wind tunnel tests are conducted to evaluate surface pressure distribution of a semi span swept wing. The wing section has a laminar flow airfoil similar to NACA 6-series airfoils. The investigations are conducted at various speeds and angles of attack. Surface pressure distribution over the wing upper surface is measured for both chordwise and spanwise sections. Statistical analyses a...
