In this paper, a framework for maintaining formations of large number of mobile autonomous vehicles based on rigidity is proposed. The aim of this paper is to explore strategies for maintaining formations with more limited communication/sensing requirements. An inductive construction method for provably rigid formations is proposed, and a method for optimum angle measures between vehicles is de...

Inclusion-based formulations allow an explicit description of pore geometry by viewing porous rocks as a solid matrix with embedded inclusions representing individual pores. The assumption commonly used in these formulations that there is no fluid pressure communication between pores is reasonable for liquid-filled rocks measured at high frequencies; however, complete fluid pressure communicati...

This study presents critical buckling of functionally graded soft ferromagnetic porous (FGFP) rectangular plates, under magnetic field with simply supported boundary condition. Equilibrium and stability equations of a porous rectangular plate in transverse magnetic field are derived. The geometrical nonlinearities are considered in the Love-Kirchhoff hypothesis sense. The formulations are compa...
