1.1 This specification covers wrought carbon steel sleeve type pipe couplings suitable for joining carbon steel pipes.

1.2 Type I couplings are intended for use on all schedules of pipe where the pipe wall thickness does not exceed the wall thickness of standard weight pipe. Type II coupl...

The history of the development of Chinese telemetry is introduced in the paper. The new telemetry ground station and the new onboard space telemetry system, with the idea of systematic design and the specification, are described.

A neuro-sliding-mode control (NSMC) strategy was developed to handle the complex nonlinear dynamics and model uncertainties of flexible-link manipulators. A composite controller was designed based on a singularly perturbed model of flexible-link manipulators when the rigid motion and flexible motion...

To investigate a class of nonlinear network control system, a robust fault diagnosis method is presented based on the robust state observer. To access the objective that the designed robust filter is maximally tolerant to disturbances and sensitive to fault, the robustness and stability properties o...

This paper is focused on developing a tracking controller for a hypersonic cruise vehicle using tangent linearization approach. The design of flight control systems for air-breathing hypersonic vehicles is a highly challenging task due to the unique characteristics of the vehicle dynamics. Motivated...
