1. Vibration control device for steel tubular towers of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
Abstract This paper presents and discusses the design of a vibration control device for a 120 m high steel tubular tower of onshore Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT). The tower is modeled using beam (own code), and shell and solid finite elements (via ANSYS). The Dynamic Vibration Absorber (DVA) is designed to be attached to the tower top, aiming to analyz

2. Controlling sintering and grain growth of nanoceramics
Resumo Sinterização e crescimento de grão são processos fundamentais que afetam a evolução microestrutural das cerâmicas. Os modelos fenomenológicos que descrevem esses processos, conforme encontrados nos livros didáticos, são simplificações do conjunto altamente dinâmico de parâmetros do sistema, o que leva à previsibilidade limitada e à nec

3. Analytical Solution for Optimal Low-Thrust Limited-Power Transfers Between Non-Coplanar Coaxial Orbits
ABSTRACT: In this paper, an analytical solution for time-fixed optimal low-thrust limited-power transfers (no rendezvous) between elliptic coaxial non-coplanar orbits in an inverse-square force field is presented. Two particular classes of maneuvers are related to such transfers: maneuvers with change in the inclination of the orbital plane and maneuvers wit

4. Robust Optimal Adaptive Trajectory Tracking Control of Quadrotor Helicopter
Abstract This paper focuses on robust optimal adaptive control strategy to deal with tracking problem of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in presence of parametric uncertainties, actuator amplitude constraints, and unknown time-varying external disturbances. First, Lyapunov-based indirect adaptive controller optimized by particle swarm optimization

5. Critical review of the impact of core stability on upper extremity athletic injury and performance
BACKGROUND: Programs designed to prevent or rehabilitate athletic injuries or improve athletic performance frequently focus on core stability. This approach is based upon the theory that poor core stability increases the risk of poor performance and/or injury. Despite the widespread use of core stability training amongst athletes, the question of whether or

6. Robust Optimal Control Applied to a Composite Laminated Beam
ABSTRACT: This paper proposes an active vibration control technique, which is based on linear matrix inequalities, that is applied to a piezoelectric actuator bonded to a composite structure, forming a so-called smart composite structure. Serendipity-type finite element, based on first-order shear deformation theory with rectangular shape, eight nodes, five

7. QoS management in smart grids: a Markovian approach
In Smart Grids, a variety of new applications are available to users of the electrical system (from consumers to the electric system operators and market operators). Some applications such as the SCADA systems, which control generators or substations, have consequences, for example, with a communication delay. The result of a failure to deliver a control mes

8. Global optimal path planning of an autonomous vehicle for overtaking a moving obstacle
In this paper, the global optimal path planning of an autonomous vehicle for overtaking a moving obstacle is proposed. In this study, the autonomous vehicle overtakes a moving vehicle by performing a double lane-change maneuver after detecting it in a proper distance ahead. The optimal path of vehicle for performing the lane-change maneuver is generated by a

9. Active vibration control of an arbitrary thick piezolaminated beam with imperfectly integrated sensor and actuator layers
A spatial state-space formulation based on the linear twodimensional piezoelasticity theory and involving local/global transfer matrices is applied to investigate the active vibration suppression of a simply supported, arbitrarily thick, orthotropic elastic beam, imperfectly integrated with spatially distributed piezoelectric actuator and sensor layers on it

10. Uma arquitetura híbrida aplicada em problemas de aprendizagem por reforço / A hybrid architecture to address reinforcement learning problems
With the evergrowing use of cognitive systems in various applications, it has been created a high expectation and a large demand for machines more and more autonomous, intelligent and creative in real world problem solving. In several cases, the challenges ask for high adaptive and learning capability. This work deals with the concepts of reinforcement learn

11. A Review of Gradient Algorithms for Numerical Computation of Optimal Trajectories
Abstract: In this paper, two classic direct methods for numerical computation of optimal trajectories were revisited: the steepest descent method and the direct one based upon the second variation theory. The steepest descent method was developed for a Mayer problem of optimal control, with free final state and fixed terminal times. Terminal constraints on t

12. Numerical solution of the variational PDEs arising in optimal control theory
An iterative method based on Picard's approach to ODEs' initial-value problems is proposed to solve first-order quasilinear PDEs with matrix-valued unknowns, in particular, the recently discovered variational PDEs for the missing boundary values in Hamilton equations of optimal control. As illustrations the iterative numerical solutions are checked against t
