Real mode theory in configuration space has shown that the mode acceleration method converges faster than the mode displacement method. This paper demonstrates a similar conclusion in the state space. Some new expressions on modal parameter matrices were set up first. A generalized velocity method (...

Based on a simple step-stress accelerated competing risks model from generalized exponential distribution, the statistical prediction problem of unobserved failure times under generalized progressive hybrid censoring is investigated. Using the cumulative exposure model, maximum likelihood predictors...

Motion planning issues encountered in assembling airplanes by employing the 6PURU parallel mechanism are analyzed in this paper. A sine curve of the change rate of acceleration, which is called as jerk in the following text, is proposed for uniaxial flexible acceleration and deceleration planning ba...

A fault-tolerant permanent-magnet vernier (FT-PMV) machine incorporates the merits of high fault-tolerant capability and high torque density. In this paper, a remedial phase-angle control (RPAC) strategy is proposed for a five-phase FT-PMV machine with short-circuit fault. Firstly, the proposed stra...

To investigate the seismic behavior of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube (CFRT) structures, a push-over analysis of a 10-story moment resisting frame (MRF) composed of CFRT columns and steel beams was conducted. The results show that push-over analysis is sensitive to the lateral load patterns,...
