Download or read book Dynamical Mechanical Systems Under Random Impulses written by Rados?aw Iwankiewicz and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1995 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the methods of analysis of dynamical mechanical systems subjected to stochastic excitations in form of random trains of impulses. This particular class of excitations is adequately characterized by stochastic point processes and behaviour of dynamical systems is governed by stochastic differential equations driven by point processes. Based on the methods of point processes the analytical techniques are devised to characterize the response of linear and nonlinear mechanical systems as the solutions of underlying stochastic differential equations. A number of example problems of engineering importance are also solved, such as the vibration of plates and shells, and of nonlinear oscillators under random impulses.

Download or read book Dramatic Effect of Cross Correlations in Random Vibrations of Discrete Systems Beams Plates and Shells written by Isaac Elishakoff and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explains the dramatic effect of cross-correlations in forming the structural response of aircraft in turbulent excitation, ships in rough seas, cars on irregular roads, and other dynamic regimes. It brings into sharp focus the dramatic effect of cross correlations often neglected due to the analytical difficulty of their evaluation. Veteran author Professor Isaac Elishakoff illustrates how neglect of cross correlations could result in underestimation of the response by tens or hundreds of percentages the effect of the random vibrations of structures’ main elements, including beams, plates, and shells.

Download or read book Statistical Dynamics and Reliability Theory for Mechanical Structures written by Valery A. Svetlitsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph text is based on lectures delivered by author during many years for students of Applied Iechanics Department of Bauman Ioscow State Technical University. The monograph includes also analitical results of scientific research obtained in collaboration with industry. Progress in developing new equipment has called for a better understand ing of the physical peculiarities pertaining to the action of designed structures in real conditions. This is necessary for increasing the accuracy of the analysis and making these structures more reliable. It has been found that classical determined perturbations are not principal and that determinism-based methods of classical mechanics prove insufficient for understanding and explaining physical effects that arise at the operation of instruments located on moving objects, the vibration of rocket engines, the motion of a vehicle, and the action of wind and seismic loads. Therefore the necessity arose for devising a new physical model to analyze these dynamic processes and, in particular, for creating a new mathematical apparatus that would allow us to take into account non-deterministic external excitations. The theory of random processes that had been developed well enough as applied to problems of radio engineering and automatic control, where the effect produced by random excitations appeared to be commensurable with that of deterministic excitations and where the ignoring of the random ex citations would bring about incorrect results, became such an apparatus.

Download or read book Stability and Time optimal Control of Hereditary Systems written by Ethelbert N. Chukwu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability and Time-Optimal Control of Hereditary Systems is the mathematical foundation and theory required for studying in depth the stability and optimal control of systems whose history is taken into account. In this edition, the economic application is enlarged, and explored in some depth. The application holds out the hope that full employment and high income growth will be compatible with low prices and low inflation, provided that the control matrix has full rank, i.e., the existing controls are fully effectively used. The book concludes with a new appendix containing complete programs, data, graphs and quantitative results for the US economy.
Download or read book Error Analysis with Applications in Engineering written by Zbigniew A. Kotulski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-10 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our intention in preparing this book was to present in as simple a manner as possible those branches of error analysis which ?nd direct applications in solving various problems in engineering practice. The main reason for writing this text was the lack of such an approach in existing books dealing with the error calculus. Most of books are devoted to mathematical statistics and to probability theory. The range of applications is usually limited to the problems of general statistics and to the analysis of errors in various measuring techniques. Much less attention is paid in these books to two-dimensional and three-dim- sional distributions, and almost no attention is given to problems connected with the two-dimensional and three-dimensional vectorial functions of independent random variables. The theory of such vectorial functions ?nds new applications connected, for example, with analysis of the positioning accuracy of various mechanisms, among them of robot manipulators and automatically controlled earth-moving and loading machines, such as excavators.
Download or read book Differential Models and Neutral Systems for Controlling the Wealth of Nations written by Ethelbert N. Chukwu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph derives from familiar economic principles the dynamics of national income, the interest rate, employment, the value of capital stock, prices, and the cumulative balance of payments. This is a Volterra neutral integrodifferential game of pursuit. The quarry control is government intervention in the form of taxation, control of money supply, tariffs, foreign credit, interest equalization tax, preferential trade agreements (which reduce trade barriers and enhance trade flows between nations), transportation and distance between trading partners. The pursuer controls include wages and productivity. The book provides conditions for controllability and then deduces how big government intervention (compared with private firms' contributions) should be to ensure the possibility of growth.The reader is assumed to be familiar with advanced calculus and to have a working knowledge of ordinary differential equations. The required theory of hereditary systems can be obtained from the book itself.

Download or read book High dimensional Nonlinear Diffusion Stochastic Processes written by Yevgeny Mamontov and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation This book is one of the first few devoted to high-dimensional diffusion stochastic processes with nonlinear coefficients. These processes are closely associated with large systems of Ito's stochastic differential equations and with discretized-in-the-parameter versions of Ito's stochastic differential equations that are nonlocally dependent on the parameter. The latter models include Ito's stochastic integro-differential, partial differential and partial integro-differential equations.The book presents the new analytical treatment which can serve as the basis of a combined, analytical -- numerical approach to greater computational efficiency. Some examples of the modelling of noise in semiconductor devices are provided
