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.

GAS TURBINE AS RANGE EXTENDER FOR FUTURE ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILES
The propulsion of automobiles by motors, especially by hub motors, integrated into the wheels, offers remarkable advantages in terms of vehicle dynamics, stability and freedom of movement. But the most important benefit...
A SPECIAL CLASS OF DRIP MEDIA WITH HYSTERESIS
Since the interaction phenomenon for waves of arbitrary shape and amplitude is a property of the transmitting medium rather than of the particular wave profiles, Seymour and Varley named as DRIP the media that do not rem...
HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION AND TRACKING USING LOW COST 3D VISION SYSTEMS
This paper describes a platform which allows humans to interact with robotic arms using augmented reality. Low cost “kinect” cameras (Xbox 360) are used for tracking human skeletons and locations of robot’s end effectors...
ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC NOISE FROM A MAIN ROAD CROSSING A CITY
The impact of road traffic on the environment is practically determined by a calculation procedure. Reliable calculation results require reliable sources determination. The theme of this study was to prepare the noise ma...
EVOLUTION AS PHYSICS
Thermodynamics today is the physics domain in which three previously selfstanding lines of thinking merged to cover the broadest range of natural phenomena to date. The three lines were work-heat-design, or mechanics-cal...
