Self-healing of cementitious materials using sustainable cenosphere-based manufactured aggregate

Self-healing concrete using encapsulated healing agent has shown great potential in enhancing concrete durability. However, the capsules are expensive to make and can lower the mechanical properties of concrete. In this study, a new type of manufactured aggregate that employs waste-derived fly ash cenosphere as a carrier of healing agent (SH...

Adaptive distributed control of uncertain multi-agent systems in the power-chained form

Power-chained form systems are a generalization of strict-feedback and pure-feedback systems since integrators with positive odd-powers can appear in the dynamics (chain of positive-odd power integrators) and they are extremely challenging to deal with, as their linearized dynamics might possess uncontrollable modes whose eigenvalues are in the...

Consensus in high-power multiagent systems with mixed unknown control directions via hybrid Nussbaum-based control

This work investigates the consensus tracking problem for high-power nonlinear multiagent systems with partially unknown control directions. The main challenge of considering such dynamics lies in the fact that their linearized dynamics contain uncontrollable modes, making the standard backstepping technique fail; also, the presence of mixed...

Adaptive fuzzy finite-time tracking control of uncertain non-affine multi-agent systems with input quantization

In this paper, the finite-time tracking control problem of a class of multi-agent systems with nonaffine functions and uncertain nonlinearity is investigated, which is different from the existing on high-order multi-agent systems with pure feedback forms. The multi-agent systems considered in this paper, moreover, the nonaffine functions and...
