  • In this manuscript, buckling response of the functionally graded material (FGM) nanoplate is investigated. Two opposite edges of nanoplate is under linear and nonlinear varying normal stresses. The small-scale effect is considered by Eringen's nonlocal theory. Governing equation are derived by nonlocal theory and Hamilton's principle. Navier's method is used to solve governing equation in simply boundary conditions. The obtained results exactly match the available results in the literature. The results of this research show the important role of nonlocal effect in buckling and stability behavior of nanoplates. In order to study the FG-index effect and different loading condition effects on buckling of rectangular nanoplate, Navier's method is applied and results are presented in various figures and tables.

  • Since a glycerol molecule has three active sites, two ${\alpha}$ and one ${\beta}$ hydroxyl groups; it undergoes condensation by releasing water molecules to produce linear, nonlinear and heterocyclic oligomers. The Gibbs free energy (G), enthalpy (H) and internal energy (E) of 7 diglycerol, 15 triglycerol and 23 tetraglycerol isomers were calculated at B3LYP level of theory using 6-311++G(d, p) basis set, in both gas and aqueous phases. Linear oligomers, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$-diglycerol, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$-triglycerol and ${\alpha}{\alpha}$, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$, ${\alpha}{\alpha}$-tetraglycerol, were found to be the most stable oligomers in aqueous phase. It was found that the stability of cyclic oligomers decreases as the size of their rings increases. Cyclic oligomers are produced by dehydration of the acyclic ones which is an endothermic reaction while its ${\Delta}G$ is negative. The dehydration reaction is less endothermic in aqueous phase.

  • A new adaptive controller which combines a model reference adaptive controller (MRAC) and a fuzzy controller is developed for unstable nonlinear time-invariant systems. The fuzzy controller is used to analyze and to compensate the nonlinear time-invariant characteristics of the plant. The MRAC is applied to control the linear time-invariant subsystem of the unknown plant, where the nonlinear time-invariant plant is supposed to comprise a nonlinear time-invariant subsystem and a linear time-invariant subsystem. The stability analysis for the overall system is discussed in view of global asymptotic stability. In conclusion. the unknown nonlinear time-invariant plant can be controlled by the new adaptive control theory such that the output error of the given plant converges to zero asymptotically.

  • This paper concerns a SCARA robot with the flexible forearm linked to the rigid upper arm. The equations of motion are derived by the Lagrangian mechanics. For controller design, the perturbation approach is taken to separate the original equations of motion into linear equations describing small perturbed motions and nonlinear equations describing purely rigid motion of the robot. To effect the desired payload motion, open loop control inputs are determined based on the inverse dynamics of the latter. In order to reduce the positional error during maneuver, an active vibration suppression is done. To this end, a feedback control is designed for robustness against disturbance on the basis of the linear equations and the LQR theory modified to have a prescribed degree of stability. The proposed control scheme shows satisfactory performances in experiments as well as in numerical simulations.

  • This paper concerns a SCARA type robot with the second arm flexible. Its equations of motion are derived by the Lagrangian mechanics. For controller design, the perturbation approach is taken to separate the original equations of motion into linear equations describing small perturbed motions and nonlinear equations describing purely rigid motion of the robot. To effect the desired payload motion, open loop control inputs are first determined based on the inverse dynamics of the latter. Next, in order to reduce the positional error during maneuver, an active vibration suppression is done. To this end, a feedback control is designed for robustness against disturbance on the basis of the linear equations and the LQR theory modified with a prescribed degree of stability. The numerical simulations results show the satisfactory control performance.

  • Due to the influence of nonlinearity and time-variation, it is difficult to establish an accurate model of concrete frame structures that adopt active controllers. Fuzzy theory is a relatively appropriate method but susceptible to human subjective experience to decrease the performance. To guarantee the stability of multi-time delays complex system with multi-interconnections, a delay-dependent criterion of evolved design is proposed in this paper. Based on this criterion, the sector nonlinearity which converts the nonlinear model to multiple rule base of the linear model and a new sufficient condition to guarantee the asymptotic stability via Lyapunov function is implemented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). A numerical simulation for a three-layer reinforced concrete frame structure subjected to earthquakes is demonstrated that the proposed criterion is feasible for practical applications.

  • Buoyancy-driven natural convection is analysed by employing a linear stability theory in hori-zontal porous media with net through flow. Darcy's law is used to model the flow characteristics in porous media. Bated on the results of linear stability analysis, a heat transfer correlation was obtained by employing weakly nonlinear analysis. As the net through flow increases, the system becomes more stable and the effect of the Darcy-Rayleigh number on the Nusselt number decreases.

  • The problem of optimal stochastic GA control of the system with uncertain parameters and unsure noise covariates is studied. First, without knowing the explicit form of the dynamic system, the open-loop determinism problem with path optimization is solved. Next, Gaussian linear quadratic controllers (LQG) are designed for linear systems that depend on the nominal path. A robust genetic neural network (NN) fuzzy controller is synthesized, which consists of a Kalman filter and an optimal controller to assure the asymptotic stability of the discrete control system. A simulation is performed to prove the suitability and performance of the recommended algorithm. The results indicated that the recommended method is a feasible method to improve the performance of active tuned mass damper (ATMD) shear buildings under random earthquake disturbances.

  • Stability of laminated plate under thermal load varied linearly along thickness, is developed using a higher order displacement field which depend on a parameter "m", whose value is optimized to get results closest to three-dimension elasticity results. Hamilton, s principle is used to derive equations of motion for laminated plates. These equations are solved using Navier-type for simply supported boundary conditions to obtain non uniform critical thermal buckling and fundamental frequency under a ratio of this load. Many design parameters of cross ply and angle ply laminates such as, number of layers, aspect ratios and E1/E2 ratios for thick and thin plates are investigated. It is observed that linear and uniform distribution of temperature reduces plate frequency.

  • In our research we have offered a solid solution for aeronautical analysis. which can guarantee the asymptotic stability of coupled nonlinear facilities. According to the theoretical solutions and methods presented, the engine of this aircraft is a small high-bypass turbofan engine. using the non-linear aero-motor control approach and this paper focuses on the power management function of the aero-motor control system. These include static controls and transient controls. A mathematical model of the high-bypass-ratio two-spool unmixed-flow aeroengine was developed through a set of nonlinear dynamic equations verified by experimental data. A single actuator using the displacement method is designed to maintain a certain level of thrust under steady-state conditions. and maintains repeatable performance during transient operation from the requested thrust phase to the next. A single controller can compensate for the effects of noise and harmonic noise at many performance points. And the dynamic performance of a single controller is satisfactory during the transient. for fairness Numerical and computer experiments are described in the perfection of the methods we offer in research.
