Plasma spraying

Plasma spraying Plasma spraying is the part of thermal spraying, which according to the denition given by American Society of Materials (ASM) is a group of processes in which nely divided metallic and non-metallic surfacing materials are deposited in a...

PRODUCTION D’H2 IN SITU

 PRODUCTION D’H2 IN SITU  Synthesis procedure  The high concentration of Ca measured in fluid vent at the Rainbow hydrothermal field (66 mM) is consistent with the alteration of a lherzolite-type peridotite (Charlou et al., 2002). For that reason, this experimental...

Effect of confederate’s eye level on reach-to-grasp action

Effect of confederate's eye level on reach-to-grasp action Introduction  Humans live in social groups and spend much time engaging in cooperative actions (Richerson & Boyd, 1998) or interpreting observed behaviors (Barresi & Moore, 1996), even when there is no clear...

The Reichert Benchmark Missile Model 

Modeling & Analysis Overview The gain scheduling methods of Chapter 1 that were judged to be the more promising and also offering the best background for further development were tested using two different benchmark examples. The first one is an...

Classic Gain Scheduling

Classic Gain Scheduling Overview Gain scheduling has been one of the dominant control strategies for the design of high performance controllers in the industry for the last fifty years at least. The gain scheduling practice can be roughly divided into...

Analytic Energy Consumption of Single-Source Vehicles

Analytic Energy Consumption of Single-Source Vehicles Conventional Vehicle FACE, standing for Fully-Analytic energy    Consumption Estimation, analytically approximates the energy consumption of a conventional vehicle with dimension-related parameters and cycle-related parameters. Dimension-related parameters consist of dimensioning parameters of powertrain components...

Techniques for Design and Analysis of QoS-based Models in Partially Observable Environments

Techniques for Design and Analysis of QoS-based Models in Partially Observable Environments Unlike wired networks, in which the data transmission is isolated from interaction with other transmissions, in wireless networks, the medium is shared between all devices that are in...

Ad-hoc Control Strategies

Ad-hoc Control Strategies Introduction In this chapter two major interpolation methods will be applied to the pitch Method axis autopilot problem of an Air-to-air missile. These methods are the overview controller blending and observer/state feedback interpolation methods detailed in Sections...

COLLECTIVE BLADE PITCH CONTROL OF FLOATING WIND TURBINES

COLLECTIVE BLADE PITCH CONTROL OF FLOATING WIND TURBINES The main objectives of controlling a traditional onshore wind turbine in Region III are to ensure a rated production of electrical power. In order to meet these objectives, many control strategies have...
