Wave-based control (WBC) of underactuated,
flexible systems considers actuator motion as launching a mechanical wave into
the flexible system which it then absorbs on its return to the actuator. The launching
and absorbing ...
Sample disturbance effects in the laminated facies at the Bothkennar soft clay research
site are examined by comparing the results of laboratory tests on specimens obtained
from three fixed piston tube samplers. A ...
A comparative study of the NGI Direct Simple Shear Test (DSST) and the Mikasa Direct Shear Test (DST) is reported. Samples from Norwegian Drammen clay and Japanese Ariake clay were subjected to both types of test. An ...
Upland headwater streams are dynamic systems, responding rapidly to changes in climatic conditions. This study examined the effects of a catastrophic rainfall event, that occured on 24 October 2011 on the east coast of ...
Techniques required to successfully obtain downhole block samples of typical
very soft high plasticity organic clay from Ireland are described. The vane shear strength of
the material is as low as 4 kPa. These included ...
Frequency control is essential for the secure and stable operation of a power system. With wind penetration increasing rapidly in many power systems, ensuring continuous power system security is vital. The frequency ...
This paper explores issues surrounding the estimation of population exposure data in accordance with EU Directive 2002/49/EC and, in particular, focuses on the assessment of night-time noise. It has been identified by many ...
This paper shows how pure travelling waves in cascaded, lumped, uniform, mass-spring systems can be defined, established, and maintained, by controlling two boundary actuators, one at each end. In most cases the control ...
