Bifurcations occurring in power system models exhibiting voltage collapse have been the subject of several recent studies. Although such models have been shown to admit a variety of bifurcation phenomena, the view that ...

The Jacobian and stiffness matrices of two types of novel, six- DOF parallel minimanipulators are derived. A minimanipulator consists of three inextensible limbs, each of which is driven by a two-DOF driver. Bilinear stepper ...

This paper presents a methodology for kinematic synthesis of tendon-driven manipulators with isotropic transmission characteristics. The force transmission characteristics, from the end-effector space to the actuator space, ...

As applications have grown in the fields of robotics and automation, power systems, and electronic circuit systems, there has been an increasing interest in the control of constrained dynamic systems described by differential ...

Various interesting results on interpolation theory of entire functions with given growth conditions have been obtained by imposing conditions on multiplicity varieties and weights. All the results discussed in the literature ...

Dynamic bifurcations, including Hopf and period-doubling bifurcations, are found to occur in a power system dynamic model recently employed in voltage collapse studies. The occurrence of dynamic bifurcations is ascertained ...

A nonlinear system which exhibits bifurcations, transient chaos, and fully developed chaos is considered, with the goal of illustrating the role of two ideas in the control of chaotic dynamical systems. The first of these ...

The area of walking machines is investigated. A design for pattern generator composed of nonlinear coupled oscillators which generates the characteristic gaits of the walking stick insect is presented. A full dynamic model ...

We consider estimation of system order and parameters for ARX systems with martingale difference noise. The order estimation criterion used is the accumulated prediction error (or predictive least-square error) criterion ...

An interactive design system has been developed for the automotive epicyclic gear trains that can provide at least three forward gears and one reverse gear. This user-friendly windowing system can access help files, display ...
