The objective of this paper is to study the performance of a sixth order polynomial approach to model hysteresis behaviour of a magnetorheological (MR) damper under harmonic excitations. The polynomial model is developed based on curve fitting from the experimental results and consists of a pair subsystem namely positive and negative acceleration which correspond to the upper and lower curves. ...

Chromium (VI) (Cr(VI)) contamination of soil and groundwater is considered a major environmental concern. Bioreduction of Cr(VI) to chromium (III) (Cr(III)) can be considered an effective technology in remediating Cr(VI) contaminated sites. Among the Cr(VI) reducing bacteria, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (MR-1) is relatively effective. Reduction of Cr(VI) by MR-1 is defined by the dual-enzyme kin...

Title of Dissertation: DEVELOPMENT OF MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUID ELASTOMERIC DAMPERS FOR HELICOPTER STABILITY AUGMENTATION Wei Hu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Norman M. Wereley Department of Aerospace Engineering Conventional lag dampers use passive materials, such as elastomers, to dissipate energy and provide stiffness, but their damping and stiffness levels d...

Precision medicine involves answering counterfactual questions such as “Would this patient respond better to treatment A or B?” These types of are causal in nature and require the tools inference be answered, e.g., with a structural model (SCM). In work, we develop an SCM that models interaction between demographic information, disease covariates, magnetic resonance (MR) images brain for people...

The paper presents the semi-active vibration control based on the Skyhook algorithm which benefits from the adaptively tuned inverse magnetorheological (MR) damper model. The structure of the inverse model consists of the atan function and a linear viscous damping component. The proposed algorithm was tested by simulation of the quarter-car suspension model subjected to multiple bump road excit...

MapReduce (MR) has become a de facto standard for largescale data analysis. Moreover, it has also attracted the attention of the HPC community due to its simplicity, efficiency and highly scalable parallel model. However, MR implementations present some issues that may complicate its execution in existing HPC clusters, specially concerning the job submission. While on MR there are no strict par...
