Computational micromagnetics in three dimensions is of increasing interest with the development of magnetostrictivesensors and actuators. <p>In solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation, the governing equation of ...

Hysteresis in smart materials hinders their wider applicability in actuators. In this report we investigate control of smart actuators through the example of controlling a commercially available magnetostrictive actuator. ...

Almost all prior work on modeling the dependence of acoustic emissions on tool wear have concentrated on the effect of wear-level on the sound. We give justification for including the wear-rate information contained in the ...

Dynamic programming suffers the "curse of dimensionality" when it isemployed for complex control systems. State aggregation is used to solvethe problem and acceleratecomputation by looking for a sub-optimal policy. In this ...

We report on a novel method of acoustic wear analysis using spectral classification based on a model of mammalian audition. This approach uses biologically-inspired pre-processing filters that give a multi- resolution ...

In this paper, we present a distributed, extensible framework for supporting adaptive, dynamic network monitoring and control. We borrow the paradigm of management by delegation [8] and distribute some processing intelligence ...

Run-to-Run (RtR) control plays an important role in semiconductormanufacturing processes. In this paper, RtR control methods are classified and evaluated. The set-valued RtR controllers with ellipsoid approximation are ...

In this paper, we present a framework for supporting intelligent fault and performance management for communication networks. Belief networks are taken as the basis for knowledge representation and inference under evidence. ...
