Consider the single-DOF problem of a thin bar pinned to ground with a constant horizontal force F acting at the free end of the bar. This says that for a small perturbation about the equilibrium state ...

Feedback linearization has been studied extensively in the nonlinear systems literature (see, for example, [121,134,159,185]). In this text, we cover only some of the basic background to help the ...

Fundamental considerations such as mixed-phase flow, piping effects, and flow conditioning are examined at length. The problem of attaining a meaningful flow signal through linearization, compensation ...
