cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. during such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. therefore, to design and dev...

purpose: libraries and information centers as information storage and retrieval systems can develop with the adoption of cybernetics rules. this paper discusses system dynamics, control, feedback, and other cybernetic concepts especially in information storage and retrieval systems. methodology: this study is a review intending to find what cybernetics and lis have in common especially in the f...

in this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. the error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. the introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...

among the most important sources of competitive advantage, is creating and developing strategic alignment competency. strategic alignment, literally, is an abstract and qualitative concept. and a qualitative concept while not been quantified and operationalized, does not worth paying attention practically. this article basing on a general formula and taking systems dynamics approach, suggests a...

  Steel market and particularly rod bar market play important roles in economy of countries. Economic systems are considered as complex systems which are sophisticated to be modeled mathematically. One way to model these systems is simulation and use of system dynamics. This paper models rod bar supply chain in Iran using system dynamics. Data of this research is gathered from first hand materi...

In this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. This controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the cheap control problem. This methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...

since the end of the cold war, a fierce debate has been taking place both in the academic and in the political world about the problems of traditional concepts and theories of international relations and foreign policy in this respect we can identify three distinct phases of complexity’s emergence into the field of international politics. the first phase of complexity and international politics...

Mobile robotic systems, which include a mobile platform with one or more manipulators, mounted at specific locations on the mobile base, are of great interest in a number of applications. In this paper, after thorough kinematic studies on the platform and manipulator motions, a systematic methodology will be presented to obtain the dynamic equations for such systems without violating the base n...

The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...
