The author attempts to portray the ideas and general principles of the theory of materials
within the framework of phenomenological continuum mechanics. It is a well-written rigorous …

This paper reviews the dynamics and vibration control techniques for marine riser systems.
The riser pipes are modeled as Euler-Bernoulli beams that vibrate under the effects of ocean …

This book introduces a comprehensive methodology for adaptive control design of parabolic
partial differential equations with unknown functional parameters, including reaction …

In this article, the vibration suppression of an Euler–Bernoulli beam system is considered by
using the adaptive boundary control technique. The dynamics of the beam are represented …

This paper presents a model reference adaptive control of a class of distributed parameter
systems described by linear, n-dimensional, parabolic partial differential equations …

Offshore engineering is concerned with the design and operation of systems in harsh marine
environmental conditions. It encompasses a whole spectrum of diverse multidisciplinary and …

In this paper, boundary control of a marine installation system is developed to position the
subsea payload to the desired set-point and suppress the cable's vibration. Using Hamilton's …

This work concerns systems of quasi-linear first-order hyperbolic partial differential
equations (PDEs) with uncertain variables and unmodeled dynamics. For systems with …

The on-line or adaptive identification of parameters in abstract linear and nonlinear infinite-
dimensional dynamical systems is considered. An estimator in the form of an infinite …

Design of Marine Risers with Functionally Graded Materials focuses on the application and
use of marine risers fabricated with functionally graded materials (FGM) in ocean …
