Direct adaptive command following and disturbance rejection for minimum phase systems with unknown relative degree
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2007-02)
This paper considers parameter-monotonic direct adaptive command following and disturbance rejection for single-input single-output minimum-phase linear time-invariant systems with knowledge of the sign of the high-frequency ...
Transient thermoelastic contact problem of two sliding half-planes
(Elsevier, 1985-03)
A transient contact problem with frictional heating for two sliding halfplanes is considered. One of the half-planes is slightly rounded to give a hertzian initial pressure distribution; the other is a rigid non-conductor. ...
A Survey of Structural Optimization in Mechanical Product Development
(ASME, 2005-09)
The widespread availability of affordable high-performance personal computers and commercial software has prompted the integration of structural analyses with numerical optimization, reducing the need for design iterations ...
Dynamic analysis of structural deformation and metal forming
(Elsevier, 1975-01)
In the dynamic analysis of the deformation of bodies and structures it is often found that the duration of significant loads and high stresses is such that stress waves traverse the body and reflect from the surfaces many ...
Design for product-embedded disassembly pathways
(IEEE, 2005-08-01)
This paper presents a computational method for designing an assembly with multiple built-in disassembly pathways, each of which can be activated to retrieve certain components. It is motivated by the global sales of consumer ...
Design of part family robust-to-production plan variations based on quantitative manufacturability evaluation
(Springer-Verlag, 2002-11)
This paper presents a systematic method for designing part families whose production costs are insensitive to changes in production plans due to market demand fluctuations. A unified feature-based representation of functional ...
The relationship of isometric strength to peak dynamic hand forces during submaximal weight lifting
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Reports have indicated that approximately one third of the US workforce is presently required to exert significant strength as part of their jobs. In addressing the prevention of these types of injuries, the assessment of ...
A mechanical model for the buckling of unilaterally constrained rectangular plates
(Elsevier, 1994-01)
A mechanical model is described for the problem of buckling of unilaterally constrained, finite, rectangular plates. Due to the nature of the imposed constraint on the plate's lateral deflection, w, solving for the buckling ...
