Experimental Study on the Tensile Properties of Rock-Mortar Interface under Different Strain Rates by Nan Wu, Zhende Zhu, Zhilei He

“…Through the use of a precise servo actuator system and three extensometers measured axial-stress-crack-width curves, it is shown that the rock-mortar interface is very sensitive to the strain rate. The tensile strength increases with strain rate, the crack width decreases at the same time, and the axial-stress-crack-width curves gradually evolve from a concave-downward trend to a linear decreasing trend. …”

Model Predictive Control for Continuous-Time Singular Jump Systems with Incomplete Transition Rates by Xinxin Gu, Jiwei Wen, Li Peng

“…This paper is concerned with model predictive control (MPC) problem for continuous-time Markov Jump Systems (MJSs) with incomplete transition rates and singular character. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a model predictive controller, which could optimize a quadratic cost function and guarantee that the system is piecewise regular, impulse-free, and mean square stable, are given in two cases at each sampling time. …”
