      Article
      Accés obert
      This paper presents the design of a state observer which guarantees quadratic boundedness of the estimation error. By using quadratic Lyapunov stability analysis, the convergence rate and the ultimate (steady-state) error ...
    • Study of the validity of a rectangular strip track/soil coupling in railway semi-analytical prediction models 

      Ghangale, Dhananjay; Romeu Garbí, Jordi; Arcos Villamarín, Robert; Noori, Beshshad; Clot Razquin, Arnau; Cayero Becerra, Julián Francisco (2018)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      Semi-analytical prediction models for railway-induced vibration problems consider a two-dimensional track coupled with a three-dimensional soil. The semi-analytical models found in the literature assume a simplified model ...
    • UAV perception for safe flight under physical interaction
