future design procedures for civil structures, especially those to be protected from extreme and blast relatedloads, will need to account for temporal evolution of their frequency content. there are, however, several instanceswhere acceleration time histories are required as seismic input. for example, to determine the ultimate resistance andto identify modes of structures’ failure, a nonlinear...

the increasing diversity in packet-processing applications together with the rapid increase in channel bandwidth has brought about greater complexity in communication protocols. also influenced by these factors is the computational load for packet-processing engines, demanding high performance microprocessor designs as an indispensable solution. this paper reports on extensive simulation experi...

Modern control systems widely use network to decrease the implementation cost and also increase the performance. Although they have several advantages, they suffer from some limitations and deficiencies. Packet loss is one of the main limitations which affect the control system in different conditions and finally can lead to system instability. To prevent such problems it is important to model ...

The current paper investigates the influence of packet losses in network control systems (NCS’s) using the model predictive control (MPC) strategy. The study focuses on two main network packet losses due to sensor to controller and controller to actuator along the communication paths. A new Markov-based method is employed to recursively estimate the probability of time delay in controller to ac...

The advancements in network technologies and the evolution of Internet Things (IoT) have made supporting industrial control systems over probabilistic data networks promising. However, systems’ communication traditional is faced with problems instability feedback poor quality performance due to time-varying propagation delay. This paper presents two approaches that can enable real-time non-dete...
