Study on Component Synthesis Active Vibration Suppression Method Using Zero-placement Technique

The component synthesis active vibration suppression method （CSVS） can be applied to suppress the vibration of flexible systems. By this method, several same or similar time-varying components are arranged according to certain rules along the time axis. The synthesized command can suppress the arbitrary unwanted vibration harmonic while achieving the desired rigid body motion. The number of the components increases rapidly when the number of harmonic vibration is growing. In this article, the CSVS based on zero-placement technique is used to construct the synthesized command to suppress the multi-harmonics simultaneously in the discrete domain. The nature of zero-placement method is to put enough zeros to cancel system poles at necessary points. The designed synthesized command has equal time intervals between each component and which is much easier to be implemented. Using this method, the number of components increases linearly with the increasing of the number of being suppressed harmonics. For the spacecraft with flexible appendages, CSVS based on zero-placement is used to design the time optimal large angle maneuver control strategy. Simulations have verified the validity and superiority of the proposed approach.

Effect of Kelp Residue Microbial Fertilizer on Eco-Control Peanut Pathogenic Fungus Aspergillus Parasiticus 1

Ecological prevention and control of plant disease is very important in sustainable agriculture.Adjusting soil p H value and fertilizing organic microbial fertilizer are two effective measures in this process.Kelp residue contains a large amount of organic compounds and alkaline metal ions.The bio-control Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain Hitwh-BA2 was inoculated into kelp residue medium to produce kelp residue microbial fertilizer.Acidic soil and alkaline soil were used to study the effect of kelp residue microbial fertilizer on soil p H and soil suppressive activity.Tip-culture method was used to determine soil leachate suppressive activity,which characterized the soil suppressive activity.Results showed that fertilizing kelp residue microbial fertilizer had increased the soil p H and soil suppressive ability significantly,which was verified by peanut validation experiments as well.Peanut potting experiments proved that fertilizing kelp residue microbial fertilizer not only improved the yield of peanuts obviously,but also reduced the amount of Aspergillus parasiticus 95 in peanut geocarposphere soil significantly.Results also showed that fertilizing kelp residue microbial fertilizer was effective in reducing A.parasiticus 95 infection rate.So the kelp residue microbial fertilizer has good potential application prospect on ecological prevention and control of plant disease.

Experimental Investigation of Disturbing the Flow Field on the Vortex-Induced Vibration of Deepwater Riser Fitted with Gas Jetting Active Vibration Suppression Device

An experimental investigation on the disturbance effect of jet-type active vibration suppression device on vortexinduced vibration of deep-sea riser was carried out in the wave-flow combined flume.The vibration suppression device was designed in which the jet pipe was horizontally fixed to the front end of the riser.By varying three different excitation spacings and multi-stage outflow velocities,the influence law of the dominant frequency,dimensionless displacement and other dynamic response parameters was studied under different excitation spacings,and the mechanism and sensitive characteristics of the disturbance suppression were explored.The results indicate that the variation of excitation spacing makes gas curtain enter the strong disturbed flow region at different velocities and angles,and the coupling relationship between excitation spacing and reduced velocity is the key factor to enter the strong disturbed flow region to achieve the optimal disturbance suppression.In the strong disturbed flow region,the influence of gas curtain on the dominant frequency is obviously affected by the flow velocity,while the vibration displacement is stable at the same amplitude and is weakly affected by the flow velocity.Gas curtain can effectively disturb the formation of vortex shedding,destroy the strong nonlinear coupled vibration of the riser,and achieve better vibration suppression effect.In the weak disturbed flow region,the vortex length of the riser tail is prolonged,the strong nonlinear coupled vibration of the riser is gradually restored,and the vibration suppression effect of the device gradually decreases.

To solve the input current harmonic pollution of the high power rectifier system,18-pulse rectifier based on a kind of active harmonic suppression technique at dc side is proposed in this paper.The pulse rectifier employs three-phase diode bridges,each of them followed by a boost converter.Unlike the conventional three-phase unity-power-factor diode rectifier,the ideal sinusoidal main currents of circuit topology are obtained by control its output current or input currents of three boost converters for approximately triangular modulation.The theoretical of modulation strategy and characteristics of input and output currents about the proposed rectifier are analyzed in detail.Simulation results by Matlab/Simulink demonstrate that the proposed rectifier draws nearly sinusoidal current and power quality index is improved.The correctness of the theoretical analysis is validated.

A SYNTHETIC RESEARCH FOR AIRCRAFT ACTIVE FLUTTER SUPPRESSION

In this paper a new idea, based on discussing the essence of flutter, to investigate flutter problems is proposed that we only study a few modes of an aeroelastic system instead of studying the whole. In the light of this, an approach to analysing flutter characteristics which combines the merit of graphic and analytic methods, is presented. Also an optimal cost function with clear physical meaning which can overcome some inherent drawbacks of linear quadratic technique, is developed. The paper has shown a numerical example of an elastic wing, in which some comparisons between the approach and 'V-G' method for calculating the critical point (Vf,wf ) are carried out as well.

Escape of Brownian Particles in the System Driven by Correlated White Noises:Comparison of Three Models

The relative escape rate (RER) in the bistable sawtooth system driven by correlated white noises was studied in the case of linear multiplicative noise coefficient.And we compare the RER of linear multiplicative noise coefficient with the RER of the piecewise constant multiplicative noise coefficient in the bistable sawtooth system,finally compare the RER of the bistable sawtooth potential with the RER of the quartic potential in the case of linear multiplicative noise coefficient.It can be seen that the form of the multiplicative noise coefficient and the nonlinearity of potential have an important influence on the resonant activation and the suppression of the RER.The resonant activation of the RER vanishes in the negative correlation when the multiplicative noise coefficient was shifted from piecewise constant to linear function in the bistable sawtooth potential.The suppression of the RER disappears in the negative correlation when thelinear potential is converted into nonlinear one.

Suppression of transmembrane sodium currents on the freshly isolated hippocampal neuron cell with continuous infrared light

Physiotherapeutic effects of infrared lasers have been proved in clinic.These infrared-based regulations of the bioelectrical activities can roughly be classied into enhancement and suppression of action potential(AP),which are described by sodium(Na)and potassium(K)transmembrane current equations,named as Hodgkin and Huxley(HH)-model.The enhancement effect is able to evoke or strengthen the AP when infrared light is applied.Its corresponding mechanism is commonly ascribed to the changes of the cell membrane capacitance,which is transiently increased in response to the infrared radiation.The distinctive feature of the suppression effect is to inhibit or reduce the AP by the designed protocols of infrared radiation.However,its mechanism presents more complexity than that in enhancement cases.HH-model describes how the Na current determines the initial phase of AP.So,the enhancement and suppression of AP can be also ascribed to the regulations of the corresponding Na currents.Here,a continuous infrared light at the wavelength of 980 nm(CIS-980)was employed to stimulate a freshly isolated hippocampal neuron in vitro and a suppression effect on the Na currents of the neuron cell was observed.Both Na and K currents,which are named as whole cell currents,were simultaneously recorded with the cell membrane capacitance current by using a patch clamp combined with infrared irradiation.The results demonstrated that the CIS-980 was able to reversibly increase the capacitance currents,completely suppressed Na currents,but little changed K currents,which forms the steady outward whole cell currents and plays a major role on the AP repolarization.A conrmation experiment was designed and carried out by synchronizing tens of milliseconds of infrared stimulation on the same kinds of hippocampal neuron cells.After the blocked K channel,a reduction of Na current amplitude was still recorded.This proved that infrared suppression of Na current was irrelevant to K channel.A membrane capacitance mediation process was preliminarily proposed to explain the Na channel suppression process.

Active flutter suppression of nonlinear fin-actuator system via inverse system and immersion and invariance method

Structural nonlinearities such as freeplay will affect the stability and even flight safety of the fin-actuator system.There is a lack of a practical method for designing Active Flutter Suppression (AFS) control laws for nonlinear fin-actuator systems.A design method for the AFS controller of the nonlinear all-movable fin-electromechanical actuator system is established by combining the inverse system and the Immersion and Invariance (I&I) theory.First,the composite control law combining the inverse system principle and internal model control is used to offset the nonlinearity and dynamics of the actuator,so that its driving torque can follow the ideal signal.Then,the ideal torque of the actuator is designed employing the I&I theory.The unfavorable oscillation of the fin is suppressed by making the output torque of the actuator track the ideal signal.The simulation results reveal that the proposed AFS method can increase the flutter speed of the nonlinear finactuator system with freeplay,and a set of controller parameters is also applicable for wider freeplay within a certain range.The power required for the actuator does not exceed the power that can be provided by the commonly used aviation actuator.This method can also resist a certain level of noise and external disturbance.

Active harmonic suppression of paralleled 12-pulse rectifier at DC side

In order to improve the ability of harmonic suppression,and reduce the loss of switching devices,this paper proposes an active harmonic suppression method at dc side of multi-pulse rectifier(MPR) . The circulating current through secondary winding of active inter-phase reactor(AIPR) is derived from the current relation between the ac and dc sides of MPR when the threephase input currents are sinusoidal simultaneously,and an applicable circulating current is presented. According to the relation between voltage across secondary winding of AIPR and the applicable current,it is confirmed that harmonic energy of input line current can be consumed by the resistor in series with the secondary winding. A half-bridge PWM rectifier is designed to abstract the harmonic power and to feed the load,which can realize the recycling of harmonic energy. Experimental results show that the power factor of the proposed system is approximately equal to one when the PWM rectifier operates normally,and that the proposed system has the ability of anti-variation of load and input voltage.

Numerical Simulation of Active Suppression of Rotating Stallin Axial Compression Systems

In the present paper, a theoretical model is proposed to analyze the transient behavior of suppression of rotating stall in axial compression systems through the use of an additional disturbance. The governing equations of the model are a set of simultaneous nonlinear first order partial differential equations,and for numerical calculations, a simple explicit time marching method can be used. The influence of system parameters on the suppression effectiveness and the interaction between rotating stall and surge have been discussed initially. The analysis of the influence of system parameters presents that both the B parameter and axisymmetric compressor characteristic have significant effect on the stabilization effectiveness of a control strategy. The effectiveness decreases as the value of B and the number of stages or stage loading of the compressor increase. It has been found that the onset flow rate of rotating stall and surge in a compression system may be different, and there is a strong interaction between these two kinds of instabilities. The onset flow rate of pure one dimensional surge depends on the value of B and axisymmetric compressor characteristic, besides the slope of the compressor characteristic.In some cases, when rotating stall which is the natural mode of instability in a compression system is suppressed, one dimensional surge can occur. It often limits the effectiveness of a control strategy to suppress rotating stall. But when surge is initiated by rotating stall, it is also possible to inhibit the occurrence of surge by suppressing rotating stall in a compression system.

VIBRATION SUPPRESSION OF CANTILEVER LAMINATED COMPOSITE PLATE WITH NONLINEAR GIANT MAGNETOSTRICTIVE MATERIAL LAYERS

In this paper, a nonlinear and coupled constitutive model for giant magnetostrictive materials （GMM） is employed to predict the active vibration suppression process of cantilever laminated composite plate with GMM layers. The nonlinear and coupled constitutive model has great advantages in demonstrating the inherent and complicated nonlinearities of GMM in re- sponse to applied magnetic field under variable bias conditions （pre-stress and bias magnetic field）. The Hamilton principle is used to derive the nonlinear and coupled governing differential equation for a cantilever laminated composite plate with GMM layers. The derived equation is handled by the finite element method （FEM） in space domain, and solved with Newmark method and an iteration process in time domain. The numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed active control system by embedding GMM layers in cantilever laminated composite plate can efficiently suppress vibrations under variable bias conditions. The effects of embedded placement of GMM layers and control gain on vibration suppression are discussed respectively in detail.

Investigation on transonic flutter active auppression with CFD-Based ROMs

The calculation of accurate unsteady aerodynamic forces is critical in the analysis of aeroelastic problems,however the efficiency is low because of high computational costs of the computational fluid dynamics(CFD)portion.Additionally,direct integrated CFD and computational structural dynamics(CSD)technique is unsuitable for the analysis of ASE and the flutter active suppression in state-space form.A reduced-order model(ROM)based on Volterra series was developed using CFD calculation and used to predict the flutter coupled with the structure.The closed-loop control systems designed by the sliding mode control(SMC)and linear quadratic Gaussian(LQG)control were constructed with ROM/CSD to suppress the AGARD 445.6wing flutter.The detailed implementation of the two control approaches is presented,and the flutter suppression effectiveness is discussed and compared.The results indicate that SMC method can make the controlled object response decay to the stable equilibrium more rapidly and has better control effects than the LQG control.

Research on strong reverberation suppression for high resolution active sonar

Resolution enhancement of active sonar can suppress the reverberation.While it also makes the envelope data distribution diverge from Rayleigh distribution to K-distribution.The stronger scattering speckles,the heavier of the K-distribution tails.The envelope amplitudes of these strong scattering speckles are usually very big.As the interfering target,the strong reverberation decreases the performances of the background power level estimation and the target detection.The fuzzy statistical normalization processing(FSNP) is introduced to suppress the strong reverberation firstly in this paper.Then how the strong reverberation and the FSNP affect the distribution of K-distributed sonar data is studied.The influence on the constant false alarm rate(CFAR) detection performance caused by the strong reverberation and the FSNP is also simulated and analyzed.Performance comparisons between the CFAR detector based on FSNP and the conventional CFAR detectors are carried out.The simulation results show that the strong reverberation can make the shape parameter of the interfering K-distributed data become smaller than that of the original K-distributed data.While the FSNP can suppress the strong reverberation,increase the shape parameter value,and improve the performance of the shape parameter estimator and the CFAR detector.
