By constructing Liapunov functions and building a new inequality, we obtain two kinds of sufficient conditions for the existence and global exponential stability of almost periodic solution for a Hopfield-type neural networks subject to almost periodic external stimuli. Irt this paper, we assume that the network parameters vary almost periodically with time and we incorporate variable delays in the processing part of the network architectures.

Investigation of factors influencing roof stability at a Western U.S.longwall coal mine

The coal mine roof rating(CMRR) was developed to bridge the gap between geological variation in underground coal mines and engineering design. The CMRR accounts for the compressive strength of the immediate roof, the shear strength and intensity of any discontinuities present, and the moisture sensitivity of the immediate roof. The CMRR has been widely used and validated in Eastern US coal mines, but it has seen limited application in the Western US. This study focuses on roof behavior at a Western coal mine(Mine A). Mine A shows significant lateral geological variation, along with localized faulting and a laterally extensive sandstone channel network. The CMRR is not used to predict roof instability at the mine. It is, therefore, hypothesized that there are other factors that are correlated with roof instability in underground coal mines that could potentially also be considered in conjunction with the CMRR.This hypothesis was tested by collecting 30 CMRR measurements at Mine A. At each measurement location, a binary record of the roof condition(stable or unstable) was made, and other parameters such as depth of cover, presence of faulting, and sandstone channels were also recorded. ANOVA tests showed that the CMRR values and the roof conditions were not strongly correlated, indicating that the CMRR input criteria are not fully predictive of roof stability at this mine. The CMRR values showed statistically significant correlations(p less than 0.05) with faulting as well as with location at an intersection. For areas that had previously experienced roof fall but were currently stable, faulting was correlated with roof condition(p less than 0.05) only when the condition was classified as unstable.

Stability Analysis on Speed Control System of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

The stability of the motion control system is one of the decisive factors of the control quality for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle（AUV）.The divergence of control,which the unstable system may be brought about,is fatal to the operation of AUV.The stability analysis of the PD and S-surface speed controllers based on the Lyapunov＇s direct method is proposed in this paper.After decoupling the six degree-of-freedom（DOF）motions of the AUV,the axial dynamic behavior is discussed and the condition is deduced,in which the parameters selection within stability domain can guarantee the system asymptotically stable.The experimental results in a tank and on the sea have successfully verified the algorithm reliability,which can be served as a good reference for analyzing other AUV nonlinear control systems.

Stability analysis of helical rod based on exact Cosserat model

Helical equilibrium of a thin elastic rod has practical backgrounds, such as DNA, fiber, sub-ocean cable, and oil-well drill string. Kirchhoff＇s kinetic analogy is an effective approach to the stability analysis of equilibrium of a thin elastic rod. The main hypotheses of Kirchhoff＇s theory without the extension of the centerline and the shear deformation of the cross section are not adoptable to real soft materials of biological fibers. In this paper, the dynamic equations of a rod with a circular cross section are established on the basis of the exact Cosserat model by considering the tension and the shear deformations. Euler＇s angles are applied as the attitude representation of the cross section. The deviation of the normal axis of the cross section from the tangent of the centerline is considered as the result of the shear deformation. Lyapunov＇s stability of the helical equilibrium is discussed in static category. Euler＇s critical values of axial force and torque are obtained. Lyapunov＇s and Euler＇s stability conditions in the space domain are the necessary conditions of Lyapunov＇s stability of the helical rod in the time domain.

Linear instability of the electrified free interface between two cylindrical shells of viscoelastic fluids through porous media

In this paper, we have discussed the linear stabil- ity analysis of the electrified surface separating two coaxial Oldroyd-B fluid layers confined between two impermeable rigid cylinders in the presence of both interfacial insoluble surfactant and surface charge through porous media. The case of long waves interfacial stability has been studied. The dispersion relation is solved numerically and hence the ef- fects of various parameters are illustrated graphically. Our results reveal that the influence of the physicochemical pa- rameterβ is to shrink the instability region of the surface and reduce the growth rate of the unstable normal modes. Such important effects of the surfactant on the shape of in- terfacial structures are more sensitive to the variation of the βcorresponding to non-Newtonian fluids-model compared with the Newtonian fluids model. In the case of long wave limit, it is demonstrated that increasing r, has a dual role in- fluence （de-stabilizing effects） depending on the viscosity of the core fluid. It has a destabilizing effect at the large values of the core fluid viscosity coefficient, while this role is ex- changed to a regularly stabilizing influence at small values of such coefficient.

New delay-dependent robust stability and stabilization for uncertain T-S fuzzy time-delay systems under imperfect premise matching

To alleviate the conservativeness of the stability criterion for Takagi-Sugeno(T-S)fuzzy time-delay systems,a new delay-dependent stability criterion was proposed by introducing a new augmented Lyapunov function with an additional triple-integral term,which was firstly used to derive the stability criterion for T-S fuzzy time-delay systems.By the same approach,the robust stability issue for fuzzy time-delay systems with uncertain parameters was also considered.On the other hand,in order to enhance the design flexibility,a new design approach for uncertain fuzzy time-delay systems under imperfect premise matching was also proposed,which allows the fuzzy controller to employ different membership functions from the fuzzy time-delay model.By the numerical examples,the proposed stability conditions are less conservative in the sense of getting larger allowable time-delay and obtaining smaller feedback control gains.For instance,when the allowable time-delay increases from 7.3s to 12s for an uncertain T-S fuzzy control system with time-delay,the norm of the feedback gains decreases from(34.299 2,38.560 3)to(10.073 3,11.349 0),respectively.Meanwhile,the effectiveness of the proposed design method was illustrated by the last example with the robustly stable curves of system state under the initial condition ofx(0)=[3-1].

First integrals and stability of second-order differential equations

The stability of second-order differential equations is studied by using their integrals. A system of second-order differential equations can be considered as a mechanical system with holonomic constraints. A conserved quantity of the mechanical system or a part of the system is obtained by using the Noether theory. It is possible that the conserved quantity becomes a Liapunov function and the stability of the system is proved by the Liapunov theorem.
