The paper presents the analysis of black-startup and islanding capabilities of an 80 MW combined cycle power plant. The analysis is carried out by means of a computer dynamic simulator suitably developed in the EMTP-RV simulation environment in order to re ...
Crack-tip behaviour in metals is among the most basic problems in mechanics of materials. Yet, long-standing experimental evidence suggests that crack-tip twinning in face-centred-cubic (f.c.c.) metals is highly dependent on the material, temperature and l ...
The transient behavior of hydroelectric power plants is of high interest for ensuring stability of islanded electrical power networks. Therefore, it is suitable to determine and validate the set of parameters of a turbine speed governor using a realistic s ...
New relations for and interrelations between the current responses of different microelectrode arrays are presented. Interdigitated microelectrode arrays (IDAs: alternating cathodes and anodes) and uniform microband electrode arrays (MEAs: only cathodes or ...
Incommensurate crystal structures do not display three-dimensional periodicity. Discovered in the 1960's, a mathematical model has been established in 1974 only. Incommensurate structures belong to the big family of aperiodic structures. The modulation of ...
Reputation-based trust models using statistical learning have been intensively studied for distributed systems where peers behave maliciously. However practical applications of such models in environments with both malicious and rational behaviors are stil ...
An adaptive distributed strategy is developed based on incremental techniques. The proposed scheme addresses the problem of linear estimation in a cooperative fashion, in which nodes equipped with local computing abilities derive local estimates and share ...

This paper presents a practical method for small-scale VTOL design. It helps for elements selection and dimensioning.We apply the latter to design a fully autonomous quadrotor with numerous innovations in design methodology, steering and propulsion achievi ...
Research interest in the thermo-mechanical behaviour of soils is growing as a result of an increasing number of geomechanical problems involving thermal effects. This paper addresses various issues concerning the thermo-mechanical behaviour of soils. Start ...
Architectural sites suffers from weathering effects such as liquid sedimentation, lampblack or pollution deposit, moss growing or longterm erosion. Displaying their impact on present buildings could help deciders to plan relevant actions for preserving the ...
