Many of the electrically driven loads are controlled by pulse width modulation, which could be a source of electrom

A new adaptive technique is presented for the increase of the dynamic stiffness of the cutting tool in a lathe by active control of the tool vibration in the cutting speed direction. Due to the statistic properties of tool vibration that are induced by the stochastic behaviour of chip formation process, the controller is based on the filtered-x LMS algorithm which controls an adaptive filter that

Many of society’s critical infrastructures, such as power supply, telecommunications, and transportation, have become increasingly interconnected.

Moreover, at the same time as many of these vital systems have become increasingly dependent on one another, the
