In this paper, dynamic equations of motion of a 5 DoF robot manipulator including mechanical arms with revolute joints and their electrical actuators are considered. The application of integrator backstepping technique for trajectory tracking in presence of parameters of uncertainty and disturbance is studied. The advantage of this control technique is that it imposes the desired properties of ...

In this article, a new structure is presented for MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor)-like junctionless carbon nanotube field effect transistor (MOS-like J-CNTFET), in which dual material gate with different work-functions are used. In the aforementioned structure, the size of the gates near the source and the drain are 14 and 6 nm, respectively, and the work-functions are equal and 0.5 eV less tha...

Package PottsUtils comprises several functions related to the Potts models defined on undirected graphs. The main purpose of the package is to make available several functions that generate samples from the models. To facilitate that, there are other utilities. Furthermore, there is a by-product of simulation functions. Altogether, there are three sets of functions. The first produces basic pro...

In this paper, free vibration analysis of orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) cylinders was carried out by a Mesh-Free method. In this analysis, moving least squares shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of equilibrium equation. Essential boundary conditions are imposed by transformation method. In this simulation, an axisymmetric model is ...

This article presents a fuzzy sliding-mode control scheme for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy which are subject to norm-bounded uncertainties in each subsystem. The proposed stabilization method can be adopted to explore T-S uncertain fuzzy systems (TSUFS) with various local control inputs. Firstly, a new design is proposed to transform TSUFS into sliding-mode dynamic systems.In addi...

Behavioral-level simulation is a widely-used design tool for digital wireless communication systems operating at RF/microwave frequencies. However, success in using this tool depends substantially on the simulation accuracy. In this paper, we consider some factors contributing to the accuracy of behavioral-level simulation. A key factor is an accurate measurement of envelope AM-AM and AM-PM tra...
