Abstract General relativity governs the nonlinear dynamics of spacetime, including black holes and their event horizons. We demonstrate that forced black hole horizons exhibit statistically steady turbulent spacetime dynamics consistent with Kolmogorov’s theory of 1941. As a proof of principle we focus on black holes in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes in a large number of dimensions, where greater analytic control is gained. We focus on cases where the effective horizon dynamics is restricted to 2+1 dimensions. We also demonstrate that tidal deformations of the horizon induce turbulent dynamics. When set in motion relative to the horizon a deformation develops a turbulent spacetime wake, indicating that turbulent spacetime dynamics may play a role in binary mergers and other strong-field phenomena.

The Proctor test method, as specified in AASHTO T134 and ASTM D558, continues to play a vital role in design and construction quality control for soil-cement materials. However, neither test method establishes a methodology or standardized protocols to characterize the effects of time delay between cement addition and compaction, also known as compaction delay. Compaction delay has been well documented to have a notably negative effect on compactability, compressive strength, and overall performance of soil-cement materials, but specification tools to address this behavior are not prevalent. This paper aims to demonstrate the extent of compaction delay effects on several soil-cement mixtures used in Mississippi and to present recommended new test method protocols for AASHTO T134 to characterize compaction delay effects. Data presented showed that not all soil-cement mixtures are sensitive to compaction delay, but some mixtures can be very sensitive and lead to a meaningful decrease in specimen dry density. Recommended test method protocols were presented for AASHTO T134 and commentary was presented to provide state Departments of Transportation and other specifying agencies a few examples of how the new compaction delay protocols could be implemented.

This article details a new Model Predictive Control algorithm ensuring robust stability and control feasibility for uncertain nonlinear multi-input multi-output dynamical systems considering uncertain time-delay effects. The proposed control algorithm is based on construction of a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional as terminal cost. Incorporation of this terminal cost into the Model Predictive Control optimization problem and calculation of the associated admissible set result in robust feasibility and robust stability of closed-loop system in presence of uncertain time-delay effects and bounded disturbance signals. The Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional term is constructed with respect to predicted sliding functions over the prediction horizon and considers the effects of dynamical variations over the prediction horizon in generation of control inputs. As dynamical variations are investigated in a sample-to-sample basis, feasible sliding regions are updated at each sample as well. Finally, based on expression of sliding functions as a combination of dynamical variations and input-based terms, required control inputs are calculated in the admissible bound by the optimization algorithm. Construction of control scheme on this basis permits straightforward calculation of robust stability and feasibility conditions for a general class of uncertain nonlinear system in finite prediction horizon whereas in the previous works, often-restrictive conditions were considered for the investigated dynamical systems. Numerical illustrations indicate precision and efficiency of control algorithm and improved stability and convergence rate for multivariable nonlinear dynamical systems considering uncertain time-delay effects. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop implementation indicates applicability of the proposed scheme in real-time control applications particularly in case appropriate compromises between optimality and calculation speed are considered.
