Awhile back I published a simple design idea for a thermal airspeed sensor based on a self-heated Darlington transistor pair. The resulting sensor is simple, sensitive, and solid-state, but suffers ...

Feedback linearization has been studied extensively in the nonlinear systems literature (see, for example, [121,134,159,185]). In this text, we cover only some of the basic background to help the ...

Engineering design is often largely about the tradeoffs among the approaches to solving various challenges while meeting overall project objectives. These tradeoffs may be global such as balancing ...

The industry's most authoritative handbook on flow measurement provides a road map to the field of flow measurement. This best-seller discusses strategies for problem solving and puts the whole array ...

Consider the single-DOF problem of a thin bar pinned to ground with a constant horizontal force F acting at the free end of the bar. This says that for a small perturbation about the equilibrium state ...
