The problem of speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with unknown parameters and unknown external load torque is formulated and solved as an adaptive control problem that meets the requirements of asymptotic command following with simultaneous asymptotic disturbance attenuation. The key point is to identify the system without knowledge, estimation or measurement of the un...

We study the design of synthesis filters in noisy filter bank systems using an H" point of view. For unitary analysis polyphase matrices we obtain an explicit expression for the minimum achievable disturbance attenuation. Numerical examples and comparisons with existing methods are also included.

Mathematical morphology has its applications in both optical and acoustic image analysis and is useful in image cleaning, image enhancement, feature selection and extraction, quantitative analysis, etc. Morphology has the capabilities of performing quantitative analysis of images using morphological operation. Partial differential equation(PDE) is employed for Anisotropic Diffusion filtering te...

In this dissertation, I investigate the assembly and evolution of the Archean cratonic lithosphere by using two complementary seismological methods to image the lithospheric structure of the Slave craton in Canada. First, I perform surface wave tomographic inversions to constrain the depth dependence of Rayleigh wave phase velocity, shear wave velocity, and azimuthal anisotropy of the Slave cra...

The space-time Greens functions for 3-D poststack and 3-D prestack migration in a homogeneous medium are derived under the fareld approximation. These Greens functions can be used to practically compute synthetic migrated images. Examples are given for the recording footprint noise associated with a point scatterer and a meandering river channel. The Greens functions also provide fundamental in...

seismic piezocone device (scptu) together with resonant column and cyclic triaxial test apparatus are employed to measure small strain shear modulus (g0) of carbonate sandy and clayey soils of southern coasts of iran. a large area of southern regions of iran is formed from clay, silt and sand. in this study, maximum shear modulus that is derived from both field (by seismic piezocone) and labora...

Marine seismic exploration has potentially detrimental effects upon marine life and marine mammals in particular. Potential effects range from disturbance that may lead to displacement from feeding or breeding areas, to auditory damage and potential mortality. Nations including the USA, Canada and Brazil have followed the example set by the United Kingdom by introducing guidelines to minimise a...
