A method based on the concepts of stochastic averaging and equivalent linearization is presented for determining the response of a lightly damped nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom oscillator to a ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba employ a modified mathematical technique to make complicated nonlinear equations more tractable, which can lead to more accurate control systems for mechanical ...

The article analyzes the nonlinear optimal control problem for powertrains in hybrid electric vehicles, which comprise a diesel engine, a hybrid (doubly)-excited synchronous machine (generator/motor), ...
