This paper presents a theoretical analysis for the time-dependent behaviour and buckling of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) circular arches due to shrinkage and creep of the concrete core under a sustained uniform ...

In radar based confocal microwave imaging for breast cancer detection, recorded data are synthetically focused to a confocal point within the breast. This is the basis for both data-independent and data adaptive methods ...

Time-optimal control of aerial vehicles is of importance in a wide range of areas. This paper presents a solution to the time-optimal cooperation of multiple Unmanned Air Vehicles (UA Vs). The proposed control technique ...

A lagrangian formulation is presented for the total dynamic stiffness and damping matrices of a rigid rotor carrying noncentral rigid disk and supported on angular contact ball bearings (ACBBs). The bearing dynamic ...

This paper investigates the simultaneous optimal distribution of structural material and trilevel actuation voltage for static shape control applications. In this optimal design problem, the shape error between the actuated ...

Topology prediction and convergence is a new technique to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) in mobile wireless networks; it is an algorithm that predicts the topology of the networks depending on network surrounding ...

This paper studies the calculation of torque in a permanent magnet motor finite element simulation using an energy difference method. It is found that this is a simple yet powerful method of torque calculation and allows ...

Base isolation is found to be effective in reducing the torsional response of structures with mass eccentricity when subjected to earthquakes. In this study, dynamic characteristics of an eccentric five-storey benchmark ...

Detecting and tracking people in populated environments has various applications including, robotics, healthcare, automotive, security and defence. In this paper, we present an algorithm for people detection and tracking ...
