A higher-order theory for laminated composite beams is used to study the free vibration of laminated composite beams, and the differential quadrature method is employed to obtain the numerical solution of the governing differential equations. Free vibration analysis of beams with rectangular cross-s...

A class of parallel implicit Runge-Kutta formulas is constructed for multiprocessor system. A family of parallel implicit two-stage fourth order Runge-Kutta formulas is given. For these formulas, the convergence is proved and the stability analysis is given. The numerical examples demonstrate that t...

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.

In this paper a method of eigenfunction expansion associated with 2nd order differential equation is developed by using the concept of theory of distribution. An application of the method to the infinite long antenna is described in detail.

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...
