An extensive experimental investigation to study the flow structure over the wing of a fighter type configuration model has been conducted. The model used for this study was similar to the High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV) that has been used in various European research centers for studying its force and moment characteristics. Tests were conducted at two subsonic speeds and at low to moderate...

Let H be a Hopf algebra. Ju and Cai introduced the notion of twisting of an H-module coalgebra. In this note, we study the relationship between twistings, crossed coproducts and Hopf-Galois coextensions. In particular, we show that a twisting of an H-Galois coextension remains H-Galois if the twisting is invertible.

The paper presents a super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) regulator with neural networks (NN) of direct power command (DPC) for controlling the active/reactive power of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) using a two-level space vector pulse width modulation (2L-SVPWM). Traditional DPC strategy with proportional-integral (PI) controllers (DPC-PI) has significantly more active/reactive power r...

Skeletal animation with vertex blending is a popular method to model believable 3D characters. Its main advantage is its speed that allows real-time deformation even on low-level hardware. However it has some drawbacks as well: for some movements it produces non-natural postures like twisting elbows. We present a new method called bones blending that can be used as an alternative to vertex blen...

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 ...

In a combined study on the photophysics of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-benzothiazole (HBT) in polar acetonitrile utilizing ultrafast infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations, we show that a branching of reaction pathways occurs on femtosecond time scales. Apart from the excited-state intramolecular hydrogen transfer (ESIHT) converting electronically excited enol tautomer into the keto t...

In high aspect ratio HAR plasma etching of holes and trenches in dielectrics, sporadic twisting is often observed. Twisting is the randomly occurring divergence of a hole or trench from the vertical. Many causes have been proposed for twisting, one of which is stochastic charging. As feature sizes shrink, the fluxes of plasma particles, and ions in particular, into the feature become statistica...

In this mini-review, we summarize the evidences of lamellar twisting in the birefringent banded polymer spherulites demonstrated by various characterization techniques, such as polarized optical microscopy, real-time atomic force microscopy, micro-focus wide angle X-ray diffraction, etc. The real-time observation of lamellar growth under atomic force microscopy unveiled the fine details of lame...

In this paper, the equation of motion of an elastic 2 DoF wing model has been derived using Lagrange's method. The aerodynamic loads on the wing were calculated via the Strip-Theory and the effect of compressibility was included. Wing deflections due to bending and twist motions were determined using the Assume-Mode method. The aeroelastic equations were solved numerically using the V-g method....
