This article describes the application of an adaptive control algorithm for the atmospheric phase control of a launch vehicle. A dynamic model representing the pitch motion of the launch vehicle is introduced. As the bending modes can cause instability, the first threebending modes are modelled. A case study on design of the bending filters for a flexible launch vehicle using a model reference adaptive control is conducted to demonstrate its effectiveness.

The authors describe an integrated approach to the modelling and active control of lateral vibrations in turbomachinery. Starting with consideration of the control of multiple rotor bending modes, the generation of a state vector from available measurements using an observer is discussed together with the effect on stability of employing a controller of reduced order. The various points are illustrated in an extended case study which also compares the active schemes with one involving a simple passive damper.

Abstract A case study is presented in which a composite driving shaft of a motor-bike was loaded with different increasing numbers of load-cycles in a pulsating testing machine to reach different stages of damage. For each number of load-cycles an experimental modal analysis was performed by an iterative, global, multi-degree-of-freedom, frequency-domain modal testing technique and the eigenfrequencies and modal damping ratios were identified. From the results it is shown that the damping increases with the number of load-cycles i.e. the state of damage. However, it turned out that a more sensitive indicator for the state of damage is the splitting and shifting of the ‘double’ eigenfrequencies of the bending modes of the driving shaft with the ‘axisymmetric’ circular ring cross section. This fact is shown on the basis of several related experimental data.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
