Although much research on customer behaviors has demonstrated the positive role of inertia in the action loyalty phase, previous studies on inertia still emphasize the spurious dimension of customer loyalty. This study seeks to analyze how inertia varies with differing levels of alternative attractiveness, relationship length, and commitment in affecting customer loyalty. The results suggest th...

For a new kind of automatic transmissions using proportional pressure valves to control the clutches directly, a two-degree-of-freedom controller is designed for clutch slip control during the inertia phase of the shift process. The controller is designed based on a low order linear model which is derived from dynamics of the proportional pressure control valve and the vehicle drive line. The f...

The response of rails to moving loads has been a topic of interest for over a century. A related issue, the critical velocity of moving loads is an important matter related to track design. Analytically, in undamped environment, downward as well as upward displacements tend to infinity when the load is moving over an infinite rail at the critical velocity. However, the classical formula predict...

INTRODUCTION Computed Muscle Control (CMC) is an efficient method for estimating muscle activations and forces from kinematic and ground reaction force data [1]. However, it can fail to replicate some muscle activation characteristics found in electromographic (EMG) recordings. For instance, muscles often activate in anticipation of events such as heel strike, and these anticiptory responses ar...

Vehicle lateral dynamics are affected by vehicle mass, longitudinal velocity, vehicle inertia, and the cornerin stiffness of the tires. All of these parameters are su%ject to variation, even over the course of a single trip. Therefore, a practical lateral control system must guarantee stability, and hopefully ride comfort, over a wide range of parameter changes. T+ paper describes a robust cont...

in this paper, exact solution for two-plane transverse vibration analysis of axial-loaded multi-step timoshenko rotor carrying concentrated masses is presented. each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertia. forward and backward frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained using transfer matrix method (tmm). the effect of the angular velocity of spin,...

In this article, the stabilization problem is investigated for dynamic nonholonomic systems with unknown inertia parameters and disturbances. First, to facilitate control system design, the nonholonomic kinematic subsystem is transformed into a skewsymmetric form and the properties of the overall systems are discussed. Then, a robust adaptive controller is presented in which adaptive control te...

Dynamic characteristics of a prototype AEM, designed based on a hydraulic engine mount, has been investigated and an adaptive controller for the AEM has been designed. An equivalent mass-spring-damper AEM model is proposed, and the transfer function that describes dynamic characteristics of the AEM is deduced from mathematical analysis on the model. The damping coefficient of the model is deriv...

An analysis of selected fission fragment angular distributions from helium-ion induced fission is made using an exact theoretical expression. Theoretical anisotropies obtained with the transition state model are compared with their corresponding values deduced from the statistical scission model. The nuclear moment of inertia extracted from the model calculations are compared with their est...
