Allaire,Paul E., Branagan,Lyle A., Kocur,John A.
This paper considers an unbounded eccentric centrifugal impeller with an infinite number of log spiral blades undergoing synchronous whirling in an incompressible fluid. The forces acting on it due...
Vibration Limiting of Rotors by Feedback Control, (9999)
Lewis,David W., Moore,James W., Bradley,Philip L., Allaire,Paul E.
This work reports some experimental findings on a three-mass rotor with four channels of feedback control. The channels are independently controllable with force being proportional to the velocity...
Human Gait Modeling: Dealing with Holonomic Constraints (2008)
Tingshu Hu, Zongli Lin, Mark F. Abel, Paul E. Allaire
Abstract — Dynamical models are fundamental for the study of human gait. This paper presents a complete and systematic approach to deriving control system models for both the single support phase...
Feedback Control Applications in Artificial Hearts (2008)
Eric H. Maslen, Gill B. Bearnson, Paul E. Allaire, Ronald D. Flack, Michael Baloh, Myounggyu D. Noh, ...
Abstract — The introduction of centrifugal pumps as artificial heart devices has spawned a number of interesting controls problems including magnetic levitation and motoring of a thin, gyroscopic...
Allaire,Paul E., Nicholas,John C., Gunter,Edgar J., Pan,Coda H. T.
This report gives the equilibrium position, bearing coefficients, friction torque, and oil flow for plain journal, multilobe, and tilting pad journal bearings. For multilobe bearings, various...
