Maximum specific cycle net-work based performance analyses and optimizations of thermodynamic gas power cycles

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
A gas power engine is expected to output work or power through cycle, and the work is expected as much as possible in terms of viewpoints of a unit fuel, a unit volume of an engine, or a unit displaced volume of an engine. Evaluation of gas power engines

Notions of controllability for quantum mechanical systems [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 40th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.01CH37228), 2002
In this paper, we define four different notions of controllability of physical interest for multilevel quantum mechanical systems. These notions involve the possibility of driving the evolution operator as well as the state of the system. We establish the connections among these different notions as well as methods to verify controllability.

Constraint Control of Nonholonomic Mechanical Systems [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nonlinear Science, 2017
We derive an optimal control formulation for a nonholonomic mechanical system using the nonholonomic constraint itself as the control. We focus on Suslov's problem, which is defined as the motion of a rigid body with a vanishing projection of the body frame angular velocity on a given direction $\boldsymbolξ$. We derive the optimal control formulation,

A Method for Measuring the Quality of Graphic Transfer to Materials with Variable Dimensions (Wood)

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The transfer of graphics to a product’s surface is a widely known technology. Printing, engraving, and etching are used every day in production processes with countless types of materials.

Reactive Mechanism of Cognitive Control System [PDF]

open access: yesCerebral Cortex, 2010
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is thought to modulate the neural network state in favor of the processing of task-relevant sensory information prior to the presentation of sensory stimuli. However, this proactive control mechanism cannot always optimize the network state because of intrinsic fluctuation of neural activity upon arrival of sensory ...

Energy shaping control of underactuated mechanical systems with fluidic actuation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Energy shaping is a remarkably effective control strategy which can be applied to a wide range of systems, including underactuated mechanical systems. However, research in this area has generally neglected actuator dynamics.

Multiple-Joint Pedestrian Tracking Using Periodic Models

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Estimating accurate positions of multiple pedestrians is a critical task in robotics and autonomous cars. We propose a tracker based on typical human motion patterns to track multiple pedestrians.

Model Comparisons of Flow and Chemical Kinetic Mechanisms for Methane–Air Combustion for Engineering Applications

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The reasonably accurate numerical simulation of methane–air combustion is important for engineering purposes. In the present work, the validations of sub-models were carried out on a laboratory-scale turbulent jet flame, Sandia Flame D, in comparison ...

A power-based perspective of mechanical systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper is concerned with the construction of a power-based modeling framework for a large class of mechanical systems. Mathematically this is formalized by proving that every standard mechanical system (with or without dissipation) can be written as ...
