    • Granulometric characterization of sediments transported by surface runoff generated by moving storms 
      de Lima, J. L. M. P.; Souza, C. C. S.; Singh, V. P. (Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union and the American Geophysical Union, 2008-12-16)
      Due to the combined effect of wind and rain, the importance of storm movement to surface flow has long been recognized, at scales ranging from headwater scales to large basins. This study presents the results of laboratory ...
    • Hybrid fuzzy and optimal modeling for water quality evaluation 
      Wang, Dong; Singh, Vijay P.; Zhu, Yuansheng (American Geological Union, 2007-05-08)
      Water quality evaluation entails both randomness and fuzziness. Two hybrid models are developed, based on the principle of maximum entropy (POME) and engineering fuzzy set theory (EFST). Generalized weighted distances are ...
    • Hypertrapezoidal fuzzy membership functions 
      Painter, John H.; Kelly, W. E. III (IEEE, 1996-09-08)
      The authors present a method for representing N-dimensional fuzzy membership functions. The proposed method is a generalization of the one-dimensional trapezoidal membership function commonly used in fuzzy systems. The ...
    • Impedance Matching 
      San Andres, Luis (2020-07-06)
      A short description on what a driver is and what a load is and how to match them. Knowledge that everybody "knows" but no one teaches it
    • Incorporating haptic features into physics-based simulation 
      Zhao, Rukai (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2019-05)
      In our graphic lab, we have developed many physics-based animations focusing on muscles and we hope to create an interactive interface with tactile feedback so that the users can not only see those physical features but ...
    • Intelligent system design with fixed-base simulation validation for general aviation 
      Rong, Jie; Ding, Yuanyuan; Valasek, J.; Painter, John H. (IEEE, 2003-10-05)
    • Introduction to continuum mechanics for engineers 
      Bowen, Ray M. (Plenum Press, 1989)
      This textbook is intended to introduce engineering graduate students to the essentials of modern Continuum Mechanics. The objective of an introductory course is to establish certain classical continuum models within a ...
    • Introduction to vectors and tensors, Vol 1: linear and multilinear algebra 
      Bowen, Ray M.; Wang, C. C. (Plenum Press, 1976)
      This work represents our effort to present the basic concepts of vector and tensor analysis. Volume I begins with a brief discussion of algebraic structures followed by a rather detailed discussion of the algebra of vectors ...
    • Introduction to vectors and tensors, Vol 2: vector and tensor analysis 
      Bowen, Ray M.; Wang, C.-C. (2006-06-20)
      This is the second volume of a two-volume work on vectors and tensors. Volume 1 is concerned with the algebra of vectors and tensors, while this volume is concerned with the geometrical aspects of vectors and tensors. ...
    • A kinematic model for surface irrigation: An extension 
      Sherman, Bernard; Singh, Vijay P. (American Geophysical Union, 1982-06)
      The kinematic model for surface irrigation, reported previously by Sherman and Singh (1978), is extended. Depending upon the duration of irrigation and time variability of infiltration, three cases are distinguished. ...
    • A kinematic model for surface irrigation: Verification by experimental data 
      Singh, Vijay P.; Ram, Rama S. (American Geophysical Union, 1983-12)
      A kinematic model for surface irrigation is verified by experimental data obtained for 31 borders. These borders are of varied characteristics. Calculated values of advance times, water surface profiles when water reaches ...
    • Kinematic wave model for transient bed profiles in alluvial channels under nonequilibrium conditions 
      Tayfur, Gokmen; Singh, Vijay P. (American Geophysical Union, 2007-12-27)
      Transient bed profiles in alluvial channels are generally modeled using diffusion (or dynamic) waves and assuming equilibrium between detachment and deposition rates. Equilibrium sediment transport can be considerably ...
    • Kinematic wave model for water movement in municipal solid waste 
      Bendz, David; Singh, Vijay P.; Rosqvist, H?�kan; Bengtsson, Lars (American Geophysical Union, 1998-11)
      The movement of water in a large (3.5 m3) undisturbed sample of 22-year-old municipal solid waste has been modeled using a kinematic wave approximation for unsaturated infiltration and internal drainage. The model employs ...
    • Kinematic wave model of bed profiles in alluvial channels 
      Tayfur, Gokmen; Singh, Vijay P. (American Geophysical Union, 2006-06-21)
      A mathematical model, based on the kinematic wave (KW) theory, is developed for describing the evolution and movement of bed profiles in alluvial channels. The model employs a functional relation between sediment transport ...
    • Knowledge-based control 
      Painter, John H. (IEEE, 1992-03-17)
      Knowledge-based control is defined here as the management of dynamic systems whose states admit qualitative modeling. Contributions from several disparate disciplines, such as artificial intelligence, the decision sciences, ...
    • A knowledge-based control paradigm for real-time systems 
      Painter, John H.; Lin, S.K.; Glass, E. (IEEE, 1988-08-24)
