This paper deals with the boundary control problem for a certain class of linear infinite-dimensional systems commonly known as fractional-delay systems. It is assumed that the systems under consideration are, in general, described by multi-valued transfer functions. In this paper, we restrict our studies to a class of multi-valued transfer functions which are defined on a Riemann surface with limited number of Riemann sheets where the origin is a branch point. The proposed controller design algorithm is based on shaping the sensitivity function. Contrary to many other methods which approximate the underlying infinite-dimensional system by a finite-dimensional one and then apply a classical... 

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of annealing phenomena on the energy absorption of Al-steel bilayer sheets, bonded by cold rolling, through wedge tearing. Tearing by wedge is a dissipating energy system that includes three components: cutting, friction and plastic deformation due to bending. In order to find the bonding and annealing effects on energy absorption, the non-bonded bilayer sheets are prepared in the same condition of bonded ones. The results show that energy absorption of bonded sheets is larger than that of non-bonded ones. This is due to different plastic bending moment of bonded and non-bonded bilayer sheets. Whenever the bond is improved by heat... 

In this paper, considering the problems of common finite element (FE) codes that consider simple constitutive equations, a developed FE code that considers a new constitutive model is used to simulate the behavior of copper sheets under severe plastic deformation (SPD). The new proposed constitutive model, that considers dislocation densities in cell interiors and cell walls of material as true internal state variables, can investigate all stages of flow stress evolution of material during large plastic deformations and also can explain the effects of strain rate magnitude on the mechanical response of material, during room temperature SPD. The proposed FE analysis is used to investigate the...
