We studied a sharp interface model issuing from a seawater intrusion problem in a confined aquifer. This model consists in a coupled system of an elliptic and a de-generate parabolic equation. The global in time existence is obtained in using Schauder theorem combined with parabolic...

Two new methods to identify the mechanical parameters in induction motor based field oriented drives are presented in this paper. The identified parameters are: the moment of inertia and the viscous damping coefficient. The proposed methods are based on the adaptive linear neuron (ADALINE)...

In this paper, an adaptive procedure to the problem of synchronization and parameters identification for chaotic neural networks with time-varying delay is introduced by combining the adaptive control and linear feedback with appropriate update law. Based on the invariance principle of...

In industrial applications of process control, we can find a very large variety of supervision structures including diagnosis and prognosis techniques. Here, we are concerned with the problem of reconfigurable control systems that possess the ability to accommodate failures. After some general...

Finite element modeling (FEM) plays a significant role in the design of various devices in the engineering field of automotive, aerospace, defense etc. In the recent past, FEM is assisting engineers and healthcare professional in analyzing and designing various medical devices with advanced...

In the present study, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the temperature, stress and deformation fields in continuous wave (CW) laser micro-welding of thin stainless steel sheet. The welding deformation was experimentally evaluated using a single-mode fiber...

A combined experimental and finite element approach was used to compare the vibrational response of the composite beams with different configurations of internal taper and uniform cross sections. Composite beams were made using the hand lay-up process. Glass fibre was used as reinforcement in...

Structural system identification methods are analytical techniques for reconciling test data with analytical models. The response data frequently used to compare a finite element model and test data are the eigenvalues of the system. However, eigenvalues alone cannot assure an adequate model....
