Examples in Context

  1. Based on the modal analysis with approximately finite modes, the numerical analysis and simulation are carried out and show the evident control results of suppressing the bending and torsional vibrations.
  2. The dynamic model of the active magnetic bearings was built firstly, and then a saturation function to substitute for the sign function in the controller was used based on Lyapunov theory to approximately realize infinite gain with finite gain.
  3. Several particular situations in which the rate-form elastic constitutive laws can be approximately applied to the case of finite deformation are discussed.
  4. In the analysis, although it is assumed that the concrete is connected directly with the adjacent steel, the slip between both materials can be found approximately from the results of the finite element analysis.
  5. The three-dimensional geometric models of the breaking waves are approximately simulated with the dihedral wedge with finite size. According to the breaking criteria of the sea waves, the distribution of the breakers is obtained, which is also compared with the measured data and empirical formulas.
