In this paper, direct dynamics, in which trajectories were run directly on the DFT potential energy surface, have been applied to the reaction, which gave a direct look in the reaction processes. Two sets of trajectories at different initial orientations of reactants and temperature have been simulated. And the detailed reaction mechanisms have been described.展开更多

Starting from the linear structures, these proteins successfully fold to the native structure in a lO0-ns aMD simulation. In contrast, they are failed under the traditional MD simulation in the same simulation time. Then we find that the lowest root mean square deviations of helix structures from the native structures are 0.36 A, 0.63 A, 0.52 A, 1.1 A and 0.78 A. What is more, native contacts, cluster and free energy analyses show that the results of the aMD method are in accordance with the experiment very well. All analyses show that the aMD can accelerate the simulation process, thus we may apply it to the field of computer aided drug designs.展开更多

The differential braking intervention can effectively improve the lateral stability of the vehicle, however, the effect of DYC can be improved a step further by applying the control of vehicle longitudinal velocity. In this paper, the relationship between the vehicle longitudinal velocity and lateral stability is studied, and the simulation results show that a decrease of 5 km/h of longitudinal velocity at a particular situation can bring 100° increasing of stable steering upper limit. A critical stable velocity considering the effect of steering and yaw rate measurement is defined to evaluate the risk of losing steer-ability or stability. A novel velocity pre-control method is proposed by using a hierarchical pre-control logic and is integrated with the traditional DYC system. The control algorithm is verified through a hardware in-the-loop simulation system. Double lane change(DLC) test results on both high friction coefficient(μ) and low μ roads show that by using the pre-control method, the steering effort in DLC test can be reduced by 38% and 51% and the peak value of brake pressure control can be reduced by 20% and 12% respectively on high μ and low μ roads, the lateral stability is also improved. This research proposes a novel DYC system with lighter control effort and better control effect.展开更多

As one of online learning algorithm of approximate dynamic programming (ADP), DHDP has demonstrated its applicability to large state and control problems. Theoretically, the DHDP algorithm requires access to full state feedback in order to obtain solutions to the Bellman optimality equation. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to access all the states in a real system. This paper proposes a solution by suggesting an IPIDNN configuration to construct the critic and action networks to achieve an output feedback control. Since this structure can estimate the integrals and derivatives of measurable outputs, more system states are utilized and thus better control performance are expected. Compared with traditional PIDNN, this configuration is flexible and easy to expand. Based on this structure, a gradient decent algorithm for this IPIDNN-based DHDP is presented. Convergence issues are addressed within a single learning time step and for the entire learning process. Some important insights are provided to guide the implementation of the algorithm. The proposed learning controller has been applied to a cart-pole system to validate the effectiveness of the structure and the algorithm.展开更多

It combines the benefits of inverse dynamics optimization method and receding horizon optimal control technique. Firstly, the ground attack trajectory planning problem is mathematically formulated as a receding horizon optimal control problem (RHC-OCP). In particular, an approximate elliptic launch acceptable region (LAR) model is proposed to model the critical weapon delivery constraints. Secondly, a planning algorithm based on inverse dynamics optimization, which has high computational efficiency and good convergence properties, is developed to solve the RHCOCP in real-time. Thirdly, in order to improve robustness and adaptivity in a dynamic and uncer- tain environment, a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) receding horizon control architecture is introduced and a regular real-time update strategy is proposed as well, and the real-time feedback can be achieved and the not-converged situations can be handled. Finally, numerical simulations demon- strate the efficiency of this framework, and the results also show that the presented technique is well suited for real-time implementation in dynamic and uncertain environment.展开更多

The measurements were made by a freely drifting telemetric combined system at 500 m depth. Statistical characteristics of the horizontal and vertical dynamic noise energy flux directivity are considered as functions of wind speed and direction. Correlation between the horizontal dynamic noise energy flux direction and that of the wind was determined; a mechanism of the horizontal dynamic noise energy flux generation is related to the initial noise field scattering on ocean surface waves.展开更多

The potential energy surface information was obtained at the MCQCISD/3//MP2/cc-pVDZ level and the kinetic calculations were done using variational transition state theory with interpolated single-point energy (VTST-ISPE) approach. The calculated results show that the reaction proceeds primarily via the H-abstraction channel, while the Cl-addition channel is unfavorable due to the higher barriers. The improved canonical variational transition-state theory (ICVT) with the small-curvature tunneling correction (SCT) was used to calculate the rate constants. The theoretical rate constants at room temperature are in general agreement with the experimental values. A three-parameter rate constant expression was fitted over a wide temperature range of 200-2000 K.展开更多

Numerical results agree well with experimental results in that there is a nonlinear decrease in convective heat transfer with an increasing cone angle. It is also found that convective heat transfer decreases with increasing distance from the thruster outlet. Furthermore, the convective heat transfer of the plume mainly concentrates within a 35° cone angle and the heat flux decreases to the same order as solar radiation at the Earth’s surface when the cone angle exceeds 60°. The results of the study will help improve spacecraft design.展开更多
