Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate the time-varying and coupling dynamic characteristics of a 3-DOF parallel tool head. Design/methodology/approach From the view of control, a new dynamic index of a 3-DOF parallel tool head is proposed based on the dynamic model in the...

To reveal the dynamic behavior of a railway embankment slope subjected to seismic excitation, a shaking table model test was performed on a 1:8 scale embankment slope. Different types of seismic wave of differing amplitudes were applied to study the dynamic behavior of the embankment slope, and...

Parameter design is the most important phase in the development of new products and processes, especially in regards to dynamic systems. Statistics-based approaches are usually employed to address dynamic parameter design problems; however, these approaches have some limitations when applied to...

In this article, results are presented of annual simulations of a decentralized (regional) plant for the power and heat supply of a residential complex. This complex consists of four houses with 40 flats all in all. The annual power consumption of the complex is 157 MWh and the heat requirement...
