Buckling Study of Thin Tank Filled with Heterogeneous Liquid

Buckling of imperfect thin shell tank which is subjected to uniform axial compression is analyzed. The effect of internal pressure on the stability of a shell tank filled with a homogeneous-heterogeneous liquid was considered. Investigation of the liquid nature effect on reduction of the shell buckling load is performed by using the finite elements method. Calculating results in terms of analyt...

Second Order Sliding Mode (SOSM) Approach to Orbital Stabilization of Friction Pendulum Via Position Feedback

A second order sliding mode (SOSM) approach is proposed for orbital stabilization of a friction pendulum, operating under uncertain conditions. Only position measurements are assumed to be available. A SOSM velocity observer is developed and included into the closedloop system, driven by the quasihomogeneous controller that provides orbital stabilization of the pendulum. Performance issues of t...

Finite-Time Stabilization of Dynamical System with Adaptive Feedback Control

In this paper, an adaptive feedback controller is proposed to achieve the finite-time stability of dynamical system. In the proposed scheme, the feedback gain of the adaptive feedback controller is automatically tuned according to the adaptation law in order to stabilize unstable fixed points of the system. Based on the Lyapunov function method and the finite-time stability theory, we get a suf...

Resistive wall mode feedback stabilization in burning plasma experiments

We use a simple model [Garofalo, Jensen, and Strait, to be published in Phys. Plasmas] to analyze the systems for feedback stabilization of the resistive wall mode (RWM) in proposed burning plasma experiments. In ITER, the presence of several conducting structures close to the control coils, but far from the plasma, leads to a slow feedback response time compared to the time scale of the RWM gr...
