H2-suboptimal stable stabilization,
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
In this paper we present two approaches for designing H2-suboptimal stable controllers. Both full-order and reduced-order controllers are considered.
Multidimensional Laser Diagnostic and Numerical Analysis of no Formation in a Gasoline Engine
(Elsevier, 1998)
Laser diagnostic imaging techniques were used to obtain detailed in-cylinder data from a commercial gasoline engine. Mean flowfields and turbulence intensities were acquired using particle imaging veloci-metry (PIV). ...
The effects of migration and personal effectiveness on long-distance travel
(Elsevier, 1968-12)
Design for Fixturability (DFF) Methodology for Commodity Parts: A Case Study With Connecting Rod Designs
(ASME, 2002-03)
This paper presents a methodology called ÔDesign for FixturabilityÕ (DFF). This methodology enables designers to perform manufacturability analysis of their product designs upfront into the design process. The DFF approach ...
Aftertreatment control and adaptation for automotive lean burn engines with HEGO sensors
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2004-03)
Control of aftertreatment systems for lean burn technology engines represents a big challenge, due to the lack of on-board emission measurements and the sensitivity of the hardware components to ageing and sulphur poisoning. ...
Scallop hull and its offset
(Elsevier, 1994-07)
A linear-time algorithm that computes the envelope of the offset of a monotone chain is presented. The scallop hull, an extended notion of the convex hull, of the monotone chain is first computed by using an approach similar ...
Decomposition-Based Assembly Synthesis of Space Frame Structures Using Joint Library
(ASME, 2006-01)
This paper presents a method for identifying the optimal designs of components and joints in the space frame body structures of passenger vehicles considering structural characteristics, manufacturability, and assembleability. ...
Investigation of Boundary Layers in Internal Combustion Engines using a Hybrid Algorithm of High Speed Micro-PIV and PTV
(Springer, 2010-04-07)
Heat transfer properties vary locally and temporally in internal combustion engines due to variations in the boundary layer flow. In order to characterize the dynamics in the boundary layer, crank-angle resolved high-speed ...
Collagen structure: Evidence for a helical organization of the collagen fibril
(Elsevier, 1977-02)
The collagen fibrils of human or guinea pig dermis when exposed to the denaturing agents, urea or guanidine--HCl, dissociated into smaller, disparate subunits, probably aggregates of microfibrils. The process of dissociation ...
Communicating a safety-critical limitation of an infant-carrying product: The effect of product design and warning salience
(Elsevier, 1993-01)
A field experiment was conducted to determine how the features of a product and the salience of its warnings affect potential purchasers' perceptions of a safety-critical product attribute. The experimental product was an ...
