In this contribution, linearized dynamic model of Cumulative Mass Fraction (CMF) of Potassium Nitrate-Water Seeded Continues Mixed Suspension Mixed Product Removal (CMSMPR) crystallizer is approximated by a simplified model in frequency domain. Frequency domain model simplification is performed heuristically using the frequency response of the derived linearized models data. However, the CM...

an optimal desirability function method is proposed to optimize multiple responses in multiple production scenarios, simultaneously. in dynamic environments, changes in production requirements in each condition create different production scenarios. therefore, in multiple production scenarios like producing in several production lines with different technologies in a factory, various fitted res...

The present research is concerned with the determination of ductility, over-strength and response modification factors of coupled steel shear wall frames. Three structural models with various numbers of stories, bay width and coupling beam height were analyzed using static pushover and incremental nonlinear dynamic analyses. The ductility, over-strength and response modification factors for the...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration analysis of a thin cylindrical shell made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) resting on a nonlinear viscoelastic foundation under compressive axial and lateral loads is studied. Nonlinear governing coupled partial differential equations of motions (PDEs) for cylindrical shell are derived using improved Donnell shell theory. The equations of motions (EOM...

In this paper, the dynamic response of a three-rotor flexible coupling to the angularmisalignment has been studied. The coupling is a power transmission agent between the motor andgearbox, in the power transmission system of SAG Mill (semi autogenously mill) in the Gol-e-Gohariron ore complex in Sirjan, Iran. Degrees of freedom of the system are the model's lateral deflectionsand the rigid-body...

We present a new approach for improving the effective dynamic range of cameras by using multiple photographs of the same scene taken with different exposure times. Using this method enables the photographer to accurately capture scenes that contain high dynamic range by using a device with low dynamic range, which allows the capture of scenes that have both very bright and very dark regions. We...

The Taguchi method is a useful technique to improve the performance of products or processes at a lower cost and in less time. This procedure can be categorized in the static and dynamic quality characteristics. The optimization of multiple responses has received increasing attention over the last few years in many manufacturing organizations.  Several approaches dealing with multiple static q...

The Odyssey IV autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is the next generation of unmanned subsurface robots from the MIT Sea Grant AUV Laboratory. The Odyssey IV AUV has a novel propulsion system, which includes a pair of azimuthing thrusters for maneuvering in surge and heave. An analytical model was developed to describe the complex nonlinear vehicle dynamics, and experiments were performed to re...
