In this paper we perform a quantification of the uncertainty propagation of the dynamics of slender initially curved structures constructed with fiber reinforced composite materials. Depending on the manufacturing process, ...

This paper deals with the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of an orchard tower sprayer subjected to random excitations due to soil irregularities. A consistent stochastic model of uncertainties is constructed to describe ...

This article is concerned with the stochastic dynamic analysis of structures constructed with composite materials. Depending on many aspects (manufacturing process, material uncertainty, boundary conditions, etc.) real ...

The generation of an optimal schedule of elective surgery cases for a hospital surgery services unit is a well-known problem in the operations research field. The complexity of the problem is greatly compounded when ...

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are micro scale devices that are able to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy or vice versa. In this paper, the mathematical model of an electronic circuit of a resonant ...

The performance of the optimal linear feedback control and of the state-dependent Riccati equation control techniques applied to control and to suppress the chaotic motion in the atomic force microscope are analyzed. In ...
