Purpose: The ratio of straw to grain mass as a function of cutting height affects combine efficiency and power consumption and is an important input parameter to combine simulation models. An equation was developed to predict straw to grain ratios for wheat as a function of cutting height. Methods: Two mass functions, one for straw and one for grain, were developed using regression techniques and measured data collected in west Texas during the summer, and used to predict the straw to grain ratio. Results: Three equations were developed to facilitate the simulation of a combine during wheat harvest. Two mass functions, one for straw and one for grain, were also developed; a quadratic equation describes the straw mass with an $R^2$ of 0.992. An S-shaped curve describes the mass function for grain with an $R^2$ of 0.957. An equation for straw to grain ratio of wheat was developed as a function of cutting height. The straw to grain ratio has an $R^2$ value of 0.947. Conclusions: In all cases, the equations had $R^2$ values above 0.94 and were significant at the 99.9 percent probability level (alpha = 0.001). Although all three equations are useful, the grain mass and straw to grain ratio equations will have direct application in combine simulation models.

In this paper we prove the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability by considering the cases that the approximate remainder ${\varphi}$ is defined by (x * y) ＋ (x * $y^{-1}$) - 2 (x) - 2 (y) =<${\varphi}$(x,y), (x*y*z)＋ (x)＋ (y)＋ (z)－ (x*y)－ (y*z)－ (z*x)＝${\varphi}$(x, y, z), where (G,*) is a group, X is a real or complex Hausdorff topological vector space, and is a function from G into X.

The nonlinear analytic function expansion nodal (AFEN) method is applied to the solution of the time-dependent neutron diffusion equation. Since the AFEN method requires both the particular solution and the homogeneous solution to the transient fixed source problem, the derivation solution method is focused on finding the particular solution efficiently. To avoid complicated particular solutions, the source distribution is approximated by quadratic polynomials and the transient source is constructed such that the error due to the quadratic approximation is minimized. In addition, this paper presents a new two-node solution scheme that is derived by imposing the constraint of current continuity at the interface corner points. The method is verified through a series of applications to the NEACRP PWR rod ejection benchmark problem.

Generally, it is not easy to get a suitable controller for multi variable systems. If the modeling equation of the system can be found, it is possible to get LQR control as an optimal solution. This paper suggests an LQR learning method to design LQR controller without the modeling equation. The proposed algorithm uses the same cost function with error and input energy as LQR is used, and the LQR controller is trained to reduce the function. In this training process, the Jacobian matrix that informs the converging direction of the controller Is used. Jacobian means the relationship of output variations for input variations and can be approximately found by the simple experiments. In the simulations of a hydrofoil catamaran with multi variables, it can be confirmed that the training of LQR controller is possible by using the approximate Jacobian matrix instead of the modeling equation and this controller is not worse than the traditional LQR controller.

In this study, the two-phase incompressible flow in two-dimensional channel considering the effect of surface tension is simulated using an improved level-set method. Quadratic element is used for solving the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations to avoid using an additional pressure equation, and Crank-Nicholson scheme and linear element are used for solving the advection equation of the level set function. Direct approach method using geometric information is implemented instead of the hyperbolic-type partial differential equation for the reinitializing the level set function. The benchmark test case considers various arrays of defomable droplets under different flow conditions in straight channel. The deformation and migration of the droplets are computed and the results are compared very well with the existing studies.

We derived an optimal control of the Stochastic Bilinear Systems. For that we, firstly, formulated stochastic bilinear system and estimated its state when the system state is not directly observable. Optimal control problem of this system is reviewed on the line of three optimization techniques. An optimal control is derived using Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation via dynamic programming method. It consists of combination of linear and quadratic form in the state. This negative feedback control, also, makes the system stable as far as value function is chosen to be a Lyapunov function. Several other properties of this control are discussed.

Functionally graded material (FGM) illustrates a novel class of composites that consists of a graded pattern of material composition. FGM is engineered to have a continuously varying spatial composition profile. Current work focused on buckling analysis of beam made of stepwise linear and quadratic graded material in axial direction subjected to axial span-load with piecewise function and rested on shear layer based on classical beam theory. The various boundary and natural conditions including simply supported (S-S), pinned - clamped (P-C), axial hinge - pinned (AH-P), axial hinge - clamped (AH-C), pinned - shear hinge (P-SHH), pinned - shear force released (P-SHR), axial hinge - shear force released (AH-SHR) and axial hinge - shear hinge (AH-SHH) are considered. To the best of the author's knowledge, buckling behavior of this kind of Euler-Bernoulli beams has not been studied yet. The equilibrium differential equation is derived by minimizing total potential energy via variational calculus and solved analytically. The boundary conditions, natural conditions and deformation continuity at concentrated load insertion point are expressed in matrix form and nontrivial solution is employed to calculate first buckling loads and corresponding mode shapes. By increasing truncation order, the relative error reduction and convergence of solution are observed. Fast convergence and good compatibility with various conditions are advantages of the proposed method. A MATLAB code is provided in appendix to employ the numerical procedure based on proposed method.

The orthogonal polynomials have been widely employed to solve control problems, but the LQG(linear quadratic gaussian) problem remains unsolved. In this paper, we obtained the solutions of Riccati equation and covariance matrix Riccati equation by two point boundary problem and matrix fraction method using BPF(Block Pulse Function), respectively. This solutions are solved the problem of the LQG controller design.
