A general discretization method for input-driven nonlinear continuous time-delay systems is proposed, which can be applied to general order sampling hold assumptions. It is based on a combination of Taylor series expansion and the theories of sampling and hold. The mathematical structure of the new discretization scheme is introduced in detail. The performance of the proposed discretization procedure is evaluated by two degrees of systems. The results show that the proposed scheme is applicable to control systems.

The injection of polymer can significantly reduce drag, particularly in the turbulent flow region where the mutual interaction between the polymer and turbulent vortices occurs. In this study, Taylor-Couette flow of PEO-in-water solutions with a rotating inner cylinder was analyzed. Despite the shear-thinning behaviour of PEO-in-water solutions being well-documented, for a given range of shear rates their viscosity remains nearly constant. By varying the polymer concentration, we analyzed the torque evolution of different solutions followed by the viscoelasticity effects of the polymer on the interphase transition points. The torque was analyzed using a dimensionless torque scaling method, which allows for the assessment of the fluid's momentum transport capabilities. It was observed that for low concentrations of PEO, the flow behaviour exhibited only minor differences in comparison to that of water, the Newtonian fluid. However, once the PEO concentration exceeded the polymer overlap concentration, the flow behaviour was significantly altered.

A multi-leg spread mooring system for floating offshore structures is important, but the multi-leg static analysis is complicated due to the nonlinear behavior of each line and the effect of current which affects each line differently. The pretensioned position of the multi-leg mooring system obtained from the static equilibrium condition changes into a different position due to external loads and current. In this paper, the new position and the static tension at each line are caculated. The relation between the initial static equilibrium position and the new position due to the external loads is expressed in terms of the Taylor's series expansion. The Runge-Kutta $4^{th}$ method is employed in analyzing the 3-dimensional static cable nonlinear equations.

This paper studies on the relation between linearization methods and controller gains in the looper ILQ(lnverse Linear Quadratic optimal control) system for hot strip finishing mills. Firstly, two linear models arc respectively derived by a linearization method using Taylor's series expansion and a static state feedback linearization method, respectively, and the linear models are compared with the nonlinear model. Secondly, the looper servo controllers are respectively designed on the basis of two linearization models. Finally, the relation between the performances of two ILQ servo controllers and the linearization methods, and the structures and control gains of two controllers are evaluated by a computer simulation.

A digital controller for nonlinear time-delay system is proposed in this paper. A nonlinear time-delay system is discretized by using Taylor's discretization method. And the discretized system can be converted to a general nonlinear system. For this reason, general nonlinear controller synthesis can be applied to the discretized time-delay system. We adopted MAC controller synthesis for this study. Computer simulations are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed method. The results of simulation show good performance of the proposed controller synthesis and the proposed method is useful to control nonlinear time-delay system easily.

By using the variational calculus of fractional order, one derives a Hamilton-Jacobi equation and a Lagrangian variational approach to the optimal control of one-dimensional fractional dynamics with fractional cost function. It is shown that these two methods are equivalent, as a result of the Lagrange's characteristics method (a new approach) for solving non linear fractional partial differential equations. The key of this results is the fractional Taylor's series $f(x+h)=E_{\alpha}(h^{\alpha}D^{\alpha})f(x)$ where $E_{\alpha}(.)$ is the Mittag-Leffler function.

This paper presents the FPGA implementation of efficient algorithms for approximating exponential function based on floating point format data. The Taylor-Maclaurin expansion as a conventional approximation method becomes inefficient since high order expansion is required for the large number to satisfy the approximation error. A format converter is designed to convert fixed data format to floating data format, and then the real number is separated into two fields, an integer field and an exponent field to separately perform mathematic operations. A new assembly command is designed and added to previously developed command set to refer the math table. To test the proposed algorithm, assembly program has been developed. The program is downloaded into the Altera DSP KIT W/STRATIX II EP2S180N Board. Performances of the proposed method are compared with those of the Taylor-Maclaurin expansion.

There exist two difficulties in the nonlinear wave-body problems. First is the abrupt behavior near the intersection point between the body and the free surface, and second is the far field treatment. In this paper, the far field treatment is considered. The main idea is the Taylor series expansion of free-surface geometry and the application of F.F.T. algorithm. The numerical step is as follows. The velocity potential is expressed by the Green's theorem. and the solution is obtained by iteration method. In the iteration stage, the expressions by the Green's theorem are transformed to the convolution forts with the expansion of free surface by the wave slope. Here F.F.T. is applied, so the computing time can be of O(Nlog N) where N is the number of unknowns. The numerical analysis is carried out and the results are compared with other results in linear floating body problem and nonlinear moving pressure patch problem, and good agreements are obtained. Finally nonlinear floating body radiation problem is carried out with computing time of O(Nlog N).

This paper investigates asimply supported orthotropic rectangular laminate with viscous interfaces subjected to bending. Additional mathematical difficulty is involved due to the presence of viscous interfaces because the behavior of the laminate depends on time. A step-by-step state-space approach is suggested, which is directly based on the threedimensional theory of elasticity. In particular, Taylor's expansion theorem is employed to model the variations of field variables with time. The proposed method is suitable for analyzing laminated plate of arbitrary thickness. Numerical calculations are performed and it is shown that the viscous interfaces have a significant fluence on the response.

This paper treats an adaptive finite-element method for the viscous compressible flow governed by Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions. The numerical algorithm is the two-step Taylor-Galerkin mettled using unstructured triangular grids. To increase accuracy and stability, combined moving node method and grid refinement method have been used for grid adaption. Validation of the present algorithm has been made by comparing the present computational results with the existing experimental data and other numerical solutions. Four benchmark problems are solved for demonstration of the present numerical approach. They include a subsonic flow over a flat plate, the Carter flat plate problem, a laminar shock-boundary layer interaction. and finally a laminar flow around NACA0012 airfoil at zero angle of attack and free stream Mach number of 0.85. The results indicates that the present adaptive triangular grid method is accurate and useful for laminar viscous flow calculations.
