Discrete-time estimation of nonlinear continuous-time stochastic systems
PublikacjaIn this paper we consider the problem of state estimation of a dynamic system whose evolution is described by a nonlinear continuous-time stochastic model. We also assume that the system is observed by a sensor in discrete-time moments. To perform state estimation using uncertain discrete-time data, the system model needs to be discretized. We compare two methods of discretization. The first method uses the classical forward Euler...

Study on deformed steel columns subjected to impact load due to soft-storey failure in buildings during earthquakes
PublikacjaThe so called soft-storey failure is one of the most typical types of damage induced in buildings as the result of earthquake excitation. It has been observed during ground motions that the failure of an upper soft storey of a structure results in large vertical impact load acting on the lower floors. If the resistance of the structural members of the lower storeys is not sufficient it may further lead to progressive collapse of...

Nonlinear Interaction of Modes in a Planar Flow of a Gas with Viscous and Thermal Attenuation
PublikacjaThe nonlinear interaction of wave and non-wave modes in a gas planar flow are considered. Attention is mainly paid to the case when one sound mode is dominant and excites the counter-propagating sound mode and the entropy mode. The modes are determined by links between perturbations of pressure, density, and fluid velocity.
