the six-degree equations of flight in their classic form do not provide a proper physical perception due to a number of interferences. nor do they render visible the important role of attack angles. in this study, attempts have been made to develop a complete set of 3d acceleration equations from the equations of normal and tangential acceleration αn=vωv, αt=v ̇. for this purpose, a coordinate s...

In the present article, buckling analysis of functionally graded annular thin and moderately thick plates under mechanical and thermal loads is investigated. The equilibrium and stability equations of the plate are obtained based on both classical and first order shear deformation plate theories. By using an analytical method, the coupled stability equations are converted to independent equatio...

A simple theoretical model is presented for the distribution of air speeds in a modified horizontal elutriator consisting of groups of plates with different lengths. Equations are presented for calculating the particle penetration both in channels of shortended plate lengths, as downstream the end of a shortended plate.

this paper presents optimal control method to path planning of mobile robots with flexible joints. dynamic equations are derived and additional kinematic constraints are used to solve the extra dofs arose from base mobility. then with modeling the elasticity at each joint as a linear torsinal spring, the set of equations are formed. the hamiltonian function is formed and the necessary condition...

The directional response and roll stability characteristics of a partly filled tractor semi-trailer vehicle, with cylindrical tank, are investigated in various maneuvers. The dynamic interaction of liquid cargo with the tractor semi-trailer vehicle is also evaluated by integrating a dynamic slosh model of the partly filled tank with five-degrees-of-freedom of a tractor semi-trailer tank mode...

This study is concentrated on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a simple three-member space frame coupled with a dynamic vibration absorber. The dynamic vibration absorber is modeled as a six-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system. For the first time, the free vibration of an elastic structure with a six-degree-of-freedom mass-spring system is found. Each member of the space frame has un...

We investigate the global bifurcations and multipulse chaotic dynamics of a simply supported laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular thin plate under combined parametric and transverse excitations. We analyze directly the nonautonomous governing equations of motion for the laminated composite piezoelectric rectangular thin plate. The results obtained here indicate that the multipulse chao...

This article is concerned with the numerical solution of the full dynamical von Kármán plate equations for geometrically nonlinear (large-amplitude) vibration in the simple case of a rectangular plate under periodic boundary conditions. This system is composed of three equations describing the time evolution of the transverse displacement field, as well as the two longitudinal displacements. Pa...

Parallel-plate electrostatic actuators are a simple way to achieve piston motion for large numbers of mirrors in spatial light modulators. However, selection of design parameters is made difficult by their nonlinear behavior. This paper presents simple models for predicting static and dynamic behaviors of fixed–fixed parallel-plate electrostatic actuators. Static deflection equations are derive...
