A semi-analytical method is used to illustrate the behavior of a multimodal nonlinear electromechanical system which is under base-excitation. System is considered as piezo-ceramic patches attached to a cantilever beam coupled to a resistive load. The cantilever beam is modeled as a nonlinear Timoshenko beam using Assumed Mode method and equations of motion are derived through Lagrange's equati...

In this paper, a generalized mathematical model of spread of infectious disease as SIRS epidemic model is considered as a nonlinear system of differential equation. We prove that for positive initial conditions the resulting equivalence system has positive solution and under some hypothesis, this system with initial positive condition, has a positive $T$-periodic solution which is globally asym...

an asymptotically stable direct adaptive fuzzy pi sliding modecontroller is proposed for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems. in contrast toother existing approaches of handling disturbances, the proposed approachdoes not require this bound to be known, only requiring that it exists.moreover, a pi control structure is used to attenuate chattering. the approachis applied to stabilize an open-...

the spline collocation method  is employed to solve a system of linear and nonlinear fredholm and volterra integro-differential equations. the solutions are collocated by cubic b-spline and the integrand is approximated by the newton-cotes formula. we obtain the unique solution for linear and nonlinear system $(nn+3n)times(nn+3n)$ of integro-differential equations. this approximation reduces th...

In this paper, an optimal control of quadratic performance index with nonlinear constrained is presented. The sine-cosine wavelet operational matrix of integration and product matrix are introduced and applied to reduce nonlinear differential equations to the nonlinear algebraic equations. Then, the Newton-Raphson method is used for solving these sets of algebraic equations. To present ability ...

in this paper, sufficient conditions are investigated for the existence of periodic (not necessarily positive) solutions for nonlinear several time delay population system with feedback control. nonlinear system affected by an periodic external source is studied. existence of a control variable provides  the extension of  some previous results obtained in other studies. we give a illustrative e...

In this study, nonlinear vibration of axially moving strings in thermal environment is investigated. The vibration haracteristics of the system such as natural frequencies, time domain response and stability states are studied at different temperatures. The velocity of the axial movement is assumed to be constant with minor harmonic variations. It is presumed that the system and the environment...

this paper presents a new observer-based control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems. in the proposed method, nonlinear observer and twisting algorithm controller are employed to realize a sensor-less control strategy for complex systems which makes use of non measurable process information instead of installing as many sensors as possible. due to lack of availability of the complex system ...
