While attempting to clarify the confusion concerning the conceptualization of "blocking zeros" in state space in the recent literature, some new observations are made on the relationship between pole-zero cancellation and ...

Corrosion of structural steel in an SRB containing environment for as long as 9 months, is studied using the Electrochemical Noise Analysis technique. The results show that the activity of the system, which was very low ...

Self-tuning adaptive control technique has the advantage of being able to track the system operating conditions so that satisfactory control action can always be produced. Self-tuning algorithms can be implemented easily. ...

Reliability is one of the fundamental considerations in the design of industrial control equipment. The microprocessor-based Hybrid Duplex fault-tolerant System (HDS) proposed in this paper has high reliability to meet ...

A robust state feedback design subject to placement of the closed loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of unit circle is presented. Quantitative measures of robustness and disturbance rejection are investigated. A ...

Effect of the addition of various inoculants on the morphology and mechanical properties of low C-Mn and low alloy steel samples is studied by thermal and mechanical processing of the samples after solidification. According ...

The database model presented in this paper is suitable for application in which queries may require non-crisp references to certain attributes. The data item (attribute) values may be crisp or fuzzy. For instance, such ...

The phase transformation of aluminum hydrates yields various forms of alumina (d, q, K) and eventually alpha-alumina. The decrease in the specific surface area of alumina upon heat treatment is due to changes in crystalline ...

This paper demonstrates the capabilities of the PFGC-MES equation of state (EOS) for calculating the thermodynamic properties in the superheated region for pure refrigerants. In addition the ability of this EOS is also ...
