Abstract The response of single and double layered steel plates to localised air-blast loading was examined. Two configurations, both comprising fully clamped circular plates with a 200 mm exposed ...

In this study, we consider the problem of actuator placement in the vibration control of flexible plates. Unlike earlier approaches based on enhanced controllability and/or improved performance ...

This paper deals with a sensorless control approach of a lightweight electric actuator. Force and motion control are necessary to perform manipulation tasks with object interaction of different ...

Abstract This paper presents a single variable new first-order shear deformation plate theory with only one fourth-order partial governing differential equation. It may be noted that, first-order ...
