This paper forms a literature survey on lumped and distributed parameter, linear, viscously damped, dynamic systems, possessing non-classical modes.

Although the response of undamped or at least proportionally damped linear systems can be determined easily by modal analysis, the prediction of the response of nonproportionally damped linear systems requires either more ...

Eighteen time series differing in their trend (three categories), randomness (three categories), and presentation on a graph (two categories) were given to 350 MBA students in a laboratory experiment. Each student was asked ...

Στον Αριστοτέλη αποδίδονται οι τίτλοι του πατέρα της λογικής και πατέρα της εmστήμης. Η διπλή αυτή πατρότητα έχει δημιουργήσει ένα κλασσικό πρόβλημα για τους ερμηνευτές του Αριστοτέλη: πώς μπορεί να συμβιβαστεί το αυστηρά ...

The time domain response of non-proportionally damped or non-classical normal mode or non-Rayleigh linear lumped parameter systems, as otherwise called, is derived. Modal analysis is used to transform the governing equations ...

I am investigating here the possibility of predicates being ontologically fundamental in the sphere of the practical. I shall therefore, attempt to reconstruct as favourably as I can Moore's theory of the «good» as a ...

ln the last few decades many methods have become available for forecasting. As always, when alternatives exist, choices need to be made so that an appropriate forecasting method can be selected and used for the ...

The control of flexible structures for those systems with actuators that are modeled by second order dynamics is examined. Two modeling approaches are investigated. First a stability and performance analysis is performed ...

Forecasting has a long history. An understanding of such history coupled with the study of the empirical evidence can provide invaluable information for improving the accuracy and usefulness of predictions. Statistical ...

Forecasting methods currently available assume that established patterns or relationships will not change during the post-sample forecasting phase. This, however, is not a realistic assumption for business and economic ...
