Abstract. This paper presents a reduced model to describe the nonlinear dynamic behavior of Stockbridge dampers. The proposed is based on classic Bouc-Wen hysteretic law and requires identification small number parameters. formulation used within an extended version Energy Balance Method assess role damper nonlinearities in mitigating aeolian vibrations reference overhead transmission line.

Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiologic process of acute and chronic renal diseases. Intracellular component such as lipids, proteins and nucleic acids are easily and rapidly oxidized by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and such reactions lead to increased levels of lipid peroxide. The present study examined the antioxidant effects of Wen-Pi-Tang and its component crud...

In this paper, an event-triggered sliding mode control with hysteresis is proposed for motion tracking of the piezoelectric actuator (PEA) in presence uncertainties, disturbances, and nonlinearity characteristics. First, dynamic model characteristics described by Bouc-Wen model. Second, design (ETSMC) PEA system discussed proves stability using Lyapunov’s Law. Finally, The PZS001 THORLAB...

This paper presents the nano-positioning control of a piezoelectric platform. A Bouc-Wen model is established to describe the nonlinear hysteretic effect of piezoelectric systems. Three kinds of compensators, traditional PI controller, PI-like fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and adaptive PI-FLC controller, are designed for the piezoelectric systems. The adaptive PI controller is tuned on-line by m...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress has been identified in the peritoneal fluid and peripheral blood of women with endometriosis. However, there is little information on the antioxidant intake for this group of women. The objectives of this work were 1) to compare the antioxidant intake among women with and without endometriosis and 2) to design and apply a high antioxidant diet to evaluate its capacit...

Multi-proxy signature allows an original signer authorizing a proxy group as his proxy agent and only the cooperation of all proxy signers in the group can create a proxy signature on behalf of the original signer. Recently, Jin and Wen defined a formal model of certificateless multi-proxy signature and proposed a concrete scheme. They claimed that their scheme is provably secure in their secur...
