...- and trailing-edge flaps by sensing the main deck pitch angle is investigated. The key finding is that the critical wind speeds for flutter and torsional divergence of the sectional model of the bridge can be greatly increased, with good robustness characteristics, through passive feedback control. Static...

... loading that gives rise to a cooperative feedback loop among signaling, focal adhesion formation, and cytoskeletal contractility, which in turn equilibrates with the applied mechanical loads. We devise a signaling model that couples stress fiber contractility and mechano-sensitive focal adhesion models...

...Bryan Eisenhower; Gregory Hagen; Andrzej Banaszuk; Igor Mezić In this paper we investigate oscillations of a dynamical system containing passive dynamics driven by a positive feedback and how spatial characteristics (i.e., symmetry) affect the amplitude and stability of its nominal limit cycling...

...W. Q. Zhu, Professor; Z. L. Huang, Associate Professor A procedure for designing a feedback control to asymptotically stabilize with probability one quasi-integrable Hamiltonian system is proposed. First, a set of averaged Ito^ stochastic differential equations for controlled first integrals...
