Analysis of nonlinear autonomous systems has been a popular field of study in recent decades. As an interesting nonlinear behavior, chaotic dynamics has been intensively investigated since Lorenz discovered the first physical evidence of chaos in his famous equations. Although many chaotic systems have been ever reported in the literature, a systematic and qualitative approach for chaos generat...

In this study, stability control of a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the front axle, a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the rear axle, and a standard four-wheeled vehicle are compared. For vehicle dynamics control systems, the direct yaw moment control is considered as a suitable way of controlling the lateral motion of a vehicle during a severe driving maneuver. In accorda...

This paper designs an Optimized Adaptive Combined Hierarchical Sliding Mode Controller (OACHSMC) for a time-varying crane model in presence of uncertainties. Uncertainties have always been one of the most important challenges in designing control systems, which include the unknown parameters or un-modeled dynamics in the systems. Sliding mode controller (SMC) is able to compensate the system in...

A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...

system dynamics is a strategic approach for modeling complex systems and analyzing their behavior. dynamic behavior in entrepreneurial system can be modeled using system dynamics approach and dynamic hypotheses about the system`s behavior can be proposed and tested using simulation and computer aided tools. however, as the review of literature shows, studies which link system dynamics modeling ...

the overall aim of this study is to calculate some water properties in the single wall carbon naotubes (swcnt) and compare them to the bulk water properties to investigate the deviation of water properties inside the swcnt from those in the bulk. here some physical and transport properties of water molecules in the single wall carbon nanotube were reported by performing molecular dynamics (md) ...

‘Whistleblowing’ has come to increased prominence in many health systems as a means of identifying and addressing quality and safety issues. But whistleblowing – and the reactions to it – have many complex and ambiguous aspects that need to be considered as part of the broader (organisational) cultural dynamics of healthcare institutions.
