ON A CONTROLLED COMPOSITE SEMI-INFINITE STRIP
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2010, Vol 55, Issue 1
Abstract
The configuration for a semi-infinite strip with self tuning based control is presented in this paper. The semi-infinite strip is composed from a layer of main material, and another layer of piezoelectric material with Cantor-like structure. We show that the displacements distribution can be controlled actively by applying a voltage to the piezoelectric material.

NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF NORMAL HUMAN GAIT FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES WITH APPLICATION TO BIPEDAL LOCOMOTION
The objective of this study is to quantify and investigate nonlinear motion of the normal human knee joint in different walking conditions using nonlinear analysis. The kinematic data of the human knee flexion-extension a...
EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF NOVEL TELESCOPIC DEVICES FOR EARTHQUAKE PROTECTION
The telescopic SERB devices are compact mechanical devices designed for bracing isolation systems. These devices can provide important dissipation of the seismic energy and can generate the necessary force to prevent the...
NON-LINEAR STABILITY OF CYLINDRICAL PANELS MADE OF TRANSVERSALLY FUNCTIONALLY GRADED MATERIAL WITH UNIFORMLY SHORTENED EDGES
The present paper deals with FGM cylindrical panels with uniformly shortened edges when the shear lag phenomenon and distortional deformations are taken into account. A shell model (2D) was adopted. A method of the modal...
APPLICATION OF CANONICAL REPRESENTATIONS TO RANDOM VIBRATIONS OF MDOF LINEAR SYSTEMS
In this paper is presented the canonical representations method for analyzing the random vibrations of a multiple degrees of freedom linear system. The general method is exemplified in the case of a two degrees of freedo...
DISCRETE MATHEMATICAL FILTERS OF VIDEO INFORMATION PROCESSING FOR AUTOMATIC IMAGE COMPONENTS DETECTION AND MARKING
In this paper we shall discretize two classes of mathematical filters intended for the video image analysis with the purpose to automatically detect and mark the components that these images contain. Unlike the classical...
