This paper investigates the observer-based adaptive stabilization control problem for a class of time-delay nonlinear systems with unknown gain using an echo state network (ESN). In order to handle functions, new recurrent neural (RNN) approximation method called ESN is utilized. It improves accuracy, reduces computing cost, and simple train. To address issue gain, Nussbaum function used, Lyapu...

Firearms can cause fatal wounds, which can be identified by traces on or around the body. However, there are cases where neither the bullet nor gun is found at the crime scene. Ballistic research involving finite element models can reproduce computational biomechanical conditions, without compromising bioethics, as they involve no direct tests on animals or humans. This study aims to compare th...

This paper presents a Lyapunov function based control strategy for networked systems (NCS) affected by variable time delays and data loss. A special focus is put on the reduction of computational complexity. specific buffering mechanism defined first, such that it adds an additional delay up to one sampling period. The resulting buffered NCS can then be formulated as switched system which leads...

Abstract Road traffic delay is imminent in big cities around the world including Kuala Lumpur, due to increase vehicle ownership, weather condition, road blocks by authorities and ongoing infrastructure projects at particular point of road. Previous literature shows that average time spent drivers driving under about 30-53 minutes per day. Within delay, regular pressings brake accelerator may l...

Abstract In order to promote the engineering application of dense traveling charge technology, a structure scheme with central hole was proposed. Aiming at this scheme, interior ballistic model established, and performance advantages new effect inconsistent ignition delay time on were analysed. The calculated results show that combustion is feasible scheme. Compared end face burning rate reduce...

The XM395 Precision Guided Mortar Munition (PGMM) is a fin-stabilized, laser-guided projectile (Fig. 1) that was being developed for the US Army’s 120mm Mortar System. The combination of its precision capability and high-explosive warhead made it very effective against its required target set, personnel protected by masonry walls, bunkers and lightly armored vehicles. During the PGMM developmen...

The aim of this paper is to depict the design of a two finger parallel gripper which implements a cam-follower type transmission. This transmission is based in Slide-O-Cam, a cam mechanism with multiple rollers mounted in a common follower whose purpose is to produce a sliding motion from a rotating drive or vice versa. This transmission provides pure-rolling motion, thereby minimizing friction...
