The technique of input shaping has recently been successfully applied to the problem of maneuvering exible structures without excessive residual vibration. In the method of input shaping, positive impulses are often desired because they can be used with any arbitrary (un-shaped) commands and do not cause actuator saturation (if these original unshaped commands do not cause ac-tuator saturation)...

cementation factor is a critical parameter, which affects water saturation calculation. in carbonate rocks, due to the sensitivity of this parameter to pore type, water saturation estimation has associated with high inaccuracy. hence developing a reliable mathematical strategy to determine these properties accurately is of crucial importance. to this end, genetic algorithm pattern search is emp...

In this paper we address control systemswith redundant actuators and characterize the concepts of weak and strong input redundancy. Based on this characterization, we propose a dynamic augmentation to a control scheme which performs the plant input allocation with the goal of employing each actuator in a suitableway, based on itsmagnitude and rate limits. The proposed theory is first developed ...

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are those nuclear fission reactors with electrical output powers of less than 300 MWe. Due to its inherent safety features, the modular high temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) has been seen as one of the best candidates for building SMR-based nuclear plants with high safety-level and economical competitive power. Power-level control is crucial in providing grid...

application of archie equation in carbonate reservoirs is not easy due to high dependence of its parameters on carbonate characteristics. carbonates are very heterogeneous in nature and hydrocarbon reserve estimation in these reservoirs of mostly oil-wet and intermediate-wet is highly influenced by the input values of saturation exponent. to our knowledge, non representative oils have been used...

In this paper, we provide two discrete-time multi-agent models which generate periodic behaviors. The first one is a multi-agent system of identical double integrators with input saturation constraints, while the other one is a multi-agent system of identical neutrally stable system with input saturation constraints. In each case, we show that if the feedback gain parameters of the local contro...

In this article, the impact of input pump profile on the gain spectrum as well as the saturation behavior of one-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) is investigated. Since in practical circumstances, pump sources used for FOPAs have Lorentz-Gaussian profile instead of Gaussian, a more realistic case is considered for simulating FOPAs in this article. The results of simulations for ...
