Actuator Fault Tolerant Control in a Team of Mobile Robots
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a fault tolerant controller is developed for loss of effectiveness actuator faults in differential drive mobile robots. Based on the extended Kalman filter technique, a joint parameter and state estimation ...
FRCM/stirrups interaction in RC beams strengthened in shear using NSE-FRCM
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The use of a recently introduced "near surface embedded" (NSE) technique for fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) system is shown to be a viable alternative to the conventionally used externally bonded FRCM counterpart ...
