Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsREFLECTION OF A WEAK DISCONTINUITY OF THE AXIS AND THE PLANE OF SYMMETRYBulat Pavel ViktorovichIn this article we consider the problem of discontinuous characteristic (weak discontinuity) reflection from the axis and the plane of symmetry of the supersonic flow. There is a known problem of perturbations radial focusing when during numerical calculations reflection of a weak perturbation wave from the axis of symmetry leads to an abrupt change in the distribution of dynamics variables … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 17 Apr 2014 · 6,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIterative Feedforward Control for Bearing-Free Multibody SystemsNicola Y. Bailey, Christopher Lusty, Patrick S. KeoghAutomated machinery and robotics are commonly conventional multibody systems containing bearing components, which exhibit uncertain, discontinuous and complex tribological characteristics. These generate wear and fundamentally limit the precision of small scale motion due to the tribological effects being difficult to compensate for using model-based active control. However, they can be eliminated through the replacement of traditional bearing joints with flexure … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2021 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite
