In this paper, decentralized control of formation of a special category of leaderfollower networks on bounded velocity trajectories is addressed. The network of the agents in this study is supposed to have a directed graph ...

In order to improve the performance of thin lm devices, it is necessary to characterize their mechanical, as well as electrical, properties. In this work, a model is developed for analysis of the mechanical and electrical ...

In this paper, we employ a sub-equation method to nd the exact solutions to the fractional (1 + 1) and (2 + 1) regularized long-wave equations which arise in several physical applications, including ion sound waves in ...

Mixed convection heat transfer in a lid-driven square cavity with sinusoidal boundary temperature at the bottom wall in the presence of magnetic eld is investigated, numerically. The top wall is preserved at a lower ...

Due to the increasing number of people su ering from physical disabilities in the elbow and wrist, developing an assistive wearable robot seems crucial. These disabilities are mostly common in elderly people and people who ...

The area of the exit and throat region of a nozzle play a crucial role in its design. This paper is a report of numerical simulations carried out to investigate the influence of these parameters on the performance factors ...

This paper aims to establish a control strategy for parallel hybrid electric vehicles equipped with full-toroidal Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). First, the advantages of CVT are elucidated. Afterwards, a modi ...

Three di erent adaptive methods are presented for meshless calculation of steady and unsteady ows. Two approaches of point re nement/coarsening and point movement have their ground in the mesh-based methods that, in the ...

It is well recognized that size-e ect often plays a signi cant role in the mechanical performance of nano-structures. Herein, strain gradient continuum elasticity is employed to investigate the size dependent pull-in ...

Numerous experiments were conducted on a section of a 660kw wind turbine blade in a subsonic wind tunnel. The selected airfoil was tested with a clean and distributed contamination roughness surface, also with high and low ...

The aim of this study is to simulate the self-assembly of the surfactant molecules with special chemical structure and bending stiffness into bilayer membranes using a mesoscopic Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) method. ...

The present numerical study aims to investigate the e ects of uncertainties of di erent conductivity models on mixed convection fluid ow and heat transfer in a square cavity lled with Al2O3-water nano uid. The left and ...
