Nonlinear similar design of large slenderness ratio truss boom

Forging of Solid Powder Discs of Large Slenderness Ratio

The paper reports an investigation into the forging of solid powder circular disc with large slenderness ratio, between two flat dies. The deformation pattern during the operation is influenced by many factors, which interact with each other in a complex manner. The decisive factors are the interfacial conditions, initial relative density of the preform and the geometry of the preform. An attem...

IMPROVED BAT ALGORITHM FOR OPTIMUM DESIGN OF LARGE-SCALE TRUSS STRUCTURES

Deterring the optimum design of large-scale structures is a difficult task. Great number of design variables, largeness of the search space and controlling great number of design constraints are major preventive factors in performing optimum design of large-scale truss structures in a reasonable time. Meta-heuristic algorithms are known as one of the useful tools to d...

Similar Triangles, Another Trace of the Golden Ratio

In this paper we investigate similar triangles which are not congruent but have two pair congruent sides. We show that greatest lower bound of values for similarity ratio of such triangles is golden ratio. For right triangles, we prove that the supremum of values for similarity ratio is the square root of the golden ratio.

A Variable Structure Observer Based Control Design for a Class of Large scale MIMO Nonlinear Systems

This paper fully discusses how to design an observer based decentralized fuzzy adaptive controller for a class of large scale multivariable non-canonical nonlinear systems with unknown functions of subsystems’ states. On-line tuning mechanisms to adjust both the parameters of the direct adaptive controller and observer that guarantee the ultimately boundedness of both the tracking error and tha...
