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 ...

In this paper, we describe a new geometric algorithm to determine the largest feasible cutter size for 2-D milling operations to be performed using a single cutter. In particular:1. We give a general definition of the ...

A problem inherent in ARQ multicasting over a broadcast channel is thata retransmission typically benefits only a minority of destinationswhile all others wait unproductively. This results in poorthroughput to each receiving ...

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. ...

This work is aimed at exploring the interaction of communication andcontrol in systems whose sensors and actuators are distributed across ashared network. Examples of such systems include groups of autonomousvehicles, MEMS ...

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 ...

A mobile ad hoc network is an autonomous system consisting solely of mobile terminals connected with wireless links. This type of network has received considerable interest in recent years due to its capability to be ...

Thin film conducting polymer gas composition sensors can be used forindustrial safety monitoring, environmental pollution control, and numerousother applications. In this paper, a sensor system model is developed andthis ...

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 consider a stochastic model of a RED gateway under competing TCP-likesources sharing the capacity. As the number of competing flows becomes large, the queue behavior of RED can be described by a two-dimensional recursion. ...
