Les travaux presentes dans cet ouvrage portent sur des problematiques de controle de systemes non-lineaires d'equations differentielles ordinaires positifs. Les modeles issus des sciences de la vie, appartiennent a cette classe de systemes, et comportent souvent certaines parties, liees a la biologie des processus consideres, qui sont de formes analytiques incertaines mais connues qualitativement. Nous montrons comment ces proprietes qualitatives peuvent permettre d'imposer au systeme un comportement simple: la convergence de l'etat vers un equilibre unique et ajustable. Apres un bref etat de l'art sur les systemes positifs, nous introduisons les systemes pour lesquels une strategie de commande assurant la stabilisation globale est...

Time delays are present in control systems (sensing, actuation and decision-making) or they are inherent parts of dynamical systems (chatter in metal machining, heredity in biology). Delays are known to cause detrimental effects to system behavior, but they also favor system performance, assist controller's success and even recover stability. This counter-intuitive and intriguing phenomenon is a strong motivation for engineering, mathematics, biology and physics disciplines. This book addresses one of the timeliest and the most crucial problems studied since 1960s: the asymptotic stability of time delay systems. The main focus is on a novel paradigm, Cluster Treatment of Characteristic Roots methodology, which can treat the stability of...

Ein Raumaufzug stellt eine Verbindung zwischen Erdoberflache und Hohen im Bereich des geostationaren Orbits (35.863 km) dar. Diese Idee, die etwa 100 Jahre alt ist und ihren Ursprung in Russland hat, wurde die Raumfahrt, wie wir sie heute kennen, revolutionieren. Auf die Frage der technologischen Realisierbarkeit wird nicht eingegangen, sondern mit zwei einfachen mechanischen Modellen die Stabilitat einer derartigen Verbindung untersucht. Im ersten Modell betrachte ich einen starren und einen elastischen Hantelsatelliten. Eine zusatzliche Masse am geostationaren Orbit ist notwendig, um den Abstand beider Massen uber einen kritischen Wert hinaus zu vergrossern, um Stabilitat zu garantieren. Im zweiten Modell untersuche ich einen Faden,...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stability Derivatives, and also Control Derivatives, are measures of how particular forces and moments on an aircraft change as other parameters related to stability change (parameters such as airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, etc.). For a defined "trim" flight condition, changes and oscillations occur in these parameters. Equations of motion are used to analyze these changes and oscillations. Stability and control derivatives are used to linearize (simplify) these equations of motion so the stability of the vehicle can be more readily analyzed.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Stad Amsterdam is a three-mast clipper that was built in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 2000 at the Damen Oranjewerf. The ship was designed by Gerard Dijkstra who modelled her after the mid-19th century frigate Amsterdam, but she is not a replica. A major difference is that the hull is made of steel. The owners call the ship a "modern extreme clipper in historical perspective", meaning that the construction method is a combination of the best qualities of clippers of the past, outfitted and built with modern techniques but with a classic 'look and feel'. This makes her a very fast ship, with 15 knots being a normal speed. She won the 2001 Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Race. Данное...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The staged combustion cycle is a thermodynamic cycle of bipropellant rocket engines. Some of the propellant is burned in a pre-burner and the resulting hot gas is used to power the engine's turbines and pumps. The exhausted gas is then injected into the main combustion chamber, along with the rest of the propellant, and combustion is completed. The advantage of the staged combustion cycle is that all of the engine cycles' gases and heat go through the combustion chamber, and overall efficiency essentially suffers no pumping losses at all. Thus this combustion cycle is often called 'closed cycle' since the cycle is closed as all propellant products go through the chamber; as opposed to open...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In aviation stagger refers to the horizontal positioning of a biplane, triplane, or multiplane's wings in relation to one another. An aircraft is said to have positive stagger, or simply stagger, when the upper wing is positioned forward of the lower wing, such as the de Havilland Tiger Moth or Stearman. Conversely, an aeroplane is said to have negative stagger in unusual cases where the upper wing is positioned behind the lower wing, as in the Sopwith Dolphin or Beech Staggerwing. An aircraft with the wings positioned directly above each other is said to have unstaggered wings, as in the Sopwith Cuckoo or Vickers Vildebeest. Данное издание не является...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases. This occurs when the critical angle of attack of the foil is exceeded. The critical angle of attack is typically about 15 degrees, but it may vary significantly depending on the fluid, foil, and Reynolds number.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In chemistry, the standard molar entropy is the entropy content of one mole of substance, under standard conditions (not standard temperature and pressure STP). The standard molar entropy is usually given the symbol S°, and the units joules per mole kelvin (J mol?1 K?1). Unlike standard enthalpies of formation, the value of S° is an absolute. That is, an element in its standard state has a nonzero value of S° at room temperature. The entropy of an element can be 0 J mol?1 K?1 only at 0 K, according to the third law of thermodynamics. However, this presupposes that the material forms a 'perfect crystal' without any frozen in entropy (defects, dislocations), which is never completely true...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A standard cubic foot (abbreviated as scf) is a measure of quantity of gas, equal to a cubic foot of volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.6 degrees Celsius) and either 14.696 psi (1 atm or 101.325 kPa) or 14.73 psi (30 inHg or 101.6 kPa) of pressure. A standard cubic foot is thus not a unit of volume but of quantity, and the conversion to normal cubic metres is not the same as converting cubic feet to cubic metres (multiplying by 0.0283168...), since the standard temperature and pressure used are different. Assuming an ideal gas, a standard cubic foot using the present convention of 14.73 psi represents 1.19804 moles (0.0026412 pound moles), equivalent to 0.026853 normal cubic metres. Common...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A standard diving dress consists of a metallic (copper, brass or bronze) diving helmet, an airline or hose from a surface supplied diving air pump, a canvas diving suit, diving knife and boots. An important part of the equipment is the addition of lead weights, generally on the chest, back and boots, to counteract the buoyancy of the helmet and diving suit. This type of diving equipment is also known as hard-hat equipment or a "John Brown" rig, so-called after the British company that built many of the helmets. In the United States, it is sometimes known as a "Diver Dan" outfit, from the television show of the same name. It was commonly used for underwater civil engineering, commercial diving...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Standard-definition television (or SDTV) is a television system that has a resolution that meets standards but not considered either enhanced-definition television (EDTV) or high-definition television (HDTV). The term is usually used in reference to digital television, in particular when broadcasting at the same (or similar) resolution as analog systems. In the USA, SDTV refers to digital television broadcast in 4:3 aspect ratio, the same aspect ratio as NTSC signals. When a television set is labeled "SDTV", this means that the set includes an ATSC tuner, but scans its picture in the same 480i pattern used in NTSC. Данное издание не является оригинальным....

The standard gauge (also named the Stephenson gauge after George Stephenson, or Normal gauge) is a widely-used rail gauge. Approximately 60% of the world's existing railway lines are built to this gauge (see the list of countries that use the standard gauge). The distance between the inside edges of the rails of standard gauge track is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1?2 in). As railways developed and expanded one of the key issues to be decided was that of the rail gauge (the distance, or width, between the inner sides of the rails) that should be used. The eventual result was the adoption throughout a large part of the world of a "standard gauge" of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1?2 in), allowing inter-connectivity and the inter-operability of trains....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In telecommunications, standing wave ratio (SWR) is the ratio of the amplitude of a partial standing wave at an antinode (maximum) to the amplitude at an adjacent node (minimum), in an electrical transmission line. The SWR is usually defined as a voltage ratio called the VSWR, for voltage standing wave ratio. For example, the VSWR value 1.2:1 denotes a maximum standing wave amplitude that is 1.2 times greater than the minimum standing wave value. It is also possible to define the SWR in terms of current, resulting in the ISWR, which has the same numerical value. The power standing wave ratio (PSWR) is defined as the square of the VSWR.
