Aircraft Cabin Air Quality Trends Relative to Ground Level Standards
Aircraft cabin air quality has attracted much attention, summarized recently by a detailed examination and commentary by a U.S. National Academy of...

Disruptive Behaviour (“Air Rage”): Possible Aetiology
The incidence of disruptive behaviour by passengers in civil aircraft is unknown due to under-reporting. The theoretical pathophysiology is...

Cooperative Control for Localization of Mobile Sensor Networks
In this paper, we consider the problem of cooperatively control a formation of networked mobile robots/vehicles to optimize the relative and absolute...

Determining Environmental Boundaries: Asynchronous Communication and Physical Scales
This paper considers a recently proposed model for the self-organizing, decentralized, real-time motion planning for a swarm of homogeneous mobile...
-
Collective Motion and Oscillator Synchronization
This paper studies connections between phase models of coupled oscillators and kinematic models of groups of self-propelled particles. These...

Cooperative Control of Large Systems
“Cooperative control” is a term which is used to capture those problem areas in which some type of repetition of identical or non-identical...

Pursuit Strategies for Autonomous Agents
In this paper, we examine the problem of how to achieve certain geometric formations among a group of identical mobile autonomous agents. Our...

10 Slip or Temperature Dependent Frictional Contact
The frictional contact problems which have been described up to now contained a constant friction coefficient, although, as was described in Sect....

14 Conclusions, Remarks and Future Directions
This monograph shows clearly that the branch of the Mathematical Theory of Contact Mechanics which deals with quasistatic processes has made an...

2 Evolution Equations, Contact and Friction
Contact processes take place on the surface, and, therefore, are described by boundary conditions. However, these are the boundaries or surfaces of...

5 A Detailed Representative Problem
In the previous three chapters various constitutive laws for the behaviour of the material and different contact conditions were described in some...

7 Elastic Contact
Existence results for the problem of quasistatic contact between an elastic material and a reactive foundation were first obtained in [18] and [19]....
-
12 Contact with Damage
We describe new results dealing with contact problems for materials that may undergo internal damage, resulting from strains and stresses which lead...
-
8 Viscoelastic Contact
We describe results for contact problems involving viscoelastic materials. It will be seen that adding viscosity to the models leads to a substantial...
-
9 Viscoplastic Contact
We describe contact problems for viscoplastic materials in which once the stress reaches the so-called yield limit the deformation becomes...

4 Thermodynamic Derivation
In this chapter we present a short review of thermodynamic principles and potentials and describe their use in derivation of general thermomechanical...

Vibrations of X-Braced Portal Frames
Because of devastation of structures due to earthquake and wind force, increasing attention has been paid to dynamic responses of braced structures...

Solutions to the Equation of Motion
As a preliminary to solving the equation of motion (7.1) for the uniformly charged sphere of radius a and total charge e, write the magnitude of the...
