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 …

The agricultural sector is constantly evolving. The rise in the world's population generates an
increasingly growing demand for food, resulting in the need for the agroindustry to meet this …

In this paper, an identification activity and a control application conducted on a Unmanned
Ground Vehicle by using low cost components and open source software are presented …

Steel structures are widely used all over the world. Steel interprets the most current
synthesis between engineering and architecture, creating constructions that translate into …

In this study, fluid–structure interaction (FSI) modeling was applied for predicting the fluid
flow in a specific peristaltic pump, composed of one metallic roller and a hyperelastic tube …

Vibration reduction and energy harvesting were achieved by installing a piezoelectric
cantilever beam (PZT-beam). Experimental work was carried out on a self-developed …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), are increasingly being adapted and used in civil contexts,
with particular specialization in the monitoring of the territory for environmental purposes …

In this paper, a new analytical approach suitable for the stability analysis of multibody
mechanical systems is introduced in the framework of Lagrangian mechanics. The approach …

In this investigation, a method for solving the dynamics and control problems of multibody
mechanical systems whose time evolution is induced by a kinematically-driven motion is …

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 …
