We provide a new sequential predictors approach for the exponential stabilization of linear time-varying systems. Our method circumvents the problem of constructing and estimating distributed terms in the control laws, and allows arbitrarily large input delay bounds, pointwise time-varying input delays, and uncertainties. Instead of using distributed terms, our approach to handling longer delay...

In this paper, we describe a stabilization method for linear time-delay systems which extends the classical pole placement method for ordinary di7erential equations. Unlike methods based on :nite spectrum assignment, our method does not render the closed loop system, :nite dimensional but consists of controlling the rightmost eigenvalues. Because these are moved to the left half plane in a (qua...

We discuss a nite horizon H∞ control problem for time-varying systems with input delays. Clarifying a relationship between two H∞ control problems in input delay case and in measurement delay case, we derive a solution in input delay case based on the known result for the H∞ control problem in measurement delay case, and show that the solution has the same predictor–observer structure as the so...

In Rickard, Lau, and Pashler's (2008) investigation of the lag effect on memory-based automaticity, response times were faster and proportion of trials retrieved was higher at the end of practice for short lag items than for long lag items. However, during testing after a delay, response times were slower and proportion of trials retrieved was lower for short lag items than for long lag items. ...

In this paper, we present an explicit solution to H∞ full-information control for discrete-time systems with multiple input delays. Our solution is given in terms of one standard Riccati difference equation of the same order as the plant under investigation. Thus, it has much computational advantage over methods such as system augmentation. As special cases, solutions to the H∞ control problem ...

This paper discusses the stabilization of Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems with bounded and time-varying input delay. The robust stabilization via state feedback is first addressed, and delay-dependent stabilization conditions are proposed in terms of LMIs. Observer-based feedback stabilization is also discussed for T–S fuzzy input delay systems without uncertainties. A separate design princip...

lag is a general term applied to coarse grained (> 2 mm), hard, but partially weathered rockfragments, which are concentrated at the surface through attrition of finer materials. based on morphology,mineralogy and the origin of lag from the cobar region of australia, lag may be conveniently grouped intothree broad morpho-mineralogical categories; (a) those with a rough, blocky, lithic morpholog...

In the present study, the effect of core on shear lag phenomenon in tubular structures is investigated. Three different tubular structure models including model without core, model with central core and model with central core but eliminated in last 15 stories have been analyzed. A shear lag index is defined for evaluating these models. From examination of the results, the effective influence o...
