Artificial intelligence is the ability of a computer to perform the functions and reasoning
typical of the human mind. In its purely informatic aspect, it includes the theory and …

In this paper, we analyze the behavior of a single pad system in the presence of dry friction.
The goal is to investigate the path that leads a stable mechanical system to unstable …

In this paper, a closed-chain multibody model of a pantograph/catenary system is developed
and used for the optimal design of a nonlinear controller based on an open-loop control …

The goal of this investigation is to perform a comparative analysis of the principal
methodologies employed for the analytical formulation and the numerical solution of the …

In this paper, the problem of the evaluation of the uncertainties that originate in the complex
design process of a new system is analyzed, paying particular attention to multibody …

In the preliminary stage of the industrial design, the structural analysis of the components
made of composite materials is generally difficult to carry out for aircraft structures having …

This paper deals with the Lagrange multipliers corresponding to the intrinsic constraint
equations of rigid multibody mechanical systems. The intrinsic constraint equations are …

In this paper, an effective method for performing the experimental modal analysis of
structural systems is developed. The proposed methodology is corroborated by analytical …
