A strategy to suppress limit cycle oscillations in helicopter ground resonance including landing gear nonlinearities
(Aerospace Science and Technology, 2020) [Artigo]Ground Resonance (GR) in helicopters is a potentially dynamic instability commonly involving the coalescence of the blade lag mode with the fuselage motion. Linear techniques can be employed to identify the unstable rotor ... -
Inverted Pendulum Nonlinear Controllers Using Two Reaction Wheels: Design and Implementation
(IEEE Access, 2020) [Artigo]Reaction wheels have been extensively used to control and stabilize a wide range of applications due to the angular momentum exchange that they provide to mechanical systems. However, there exist several limitations ... -
Some practical regards on the application of the harmonic balance method for hysteresis models
(Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 2020) [Artigo]Describing hysteretic systems with a closed-form solution is a challenging task due to some pitfalls regarding the non-smooth and memory effect mechanisms that do not permit, for example, to apply conventional frequency ... -
Planning and construction of mechanism for surface wear testing and fault analysis in quadril joint prosthetic tribosystem
(International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2020) [Artigo]The problems associated with prosthetic failures and revision surgeries have increased greatly since total joint replacement has also been applied to younger and more active patients, so the need to resolve or reduce ... -
Pool boiling heat transfer of HFE-7100 on metal foams
