Nonlinear mechanics and testing of highly flexible one-dimensional structures using a camera-based motion analysis system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Both experimental and theoretical investigations are conducted for the dynamics of cables and strings. The exact equations of motion for finite but small amplitude vibration of string were derived based on a fully nonlinear ...
System modeling and control design of a two-stage metering poppet-valve system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
control methods that comprise modified PI control, LQG control, H [mobius] control, and nonlinear feedback control are used to make a closed-loop poppet system. The nonlinear controller is only applied to the nonlinear system and certified by Lyapunov...
Torque ripple attenuation for an axial piston swash plate type hydrostatic pump: noise considerations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The main goal of this work is to reduce the disturbing noise generated by axial piston swash plate type hydrostatic pumps by attenuating the shaft torque variation. The analysis begins by deriving the equation of the shaft ...
Modeling of selective laser sintering of single-component metal powders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a rapid prototyping technology which enables freeform fabrication of complex-geometry components directly from ...
