Large Deflection Dynamic Response Analysis of Flexible Hull Beams by the Multibody System Method

In this paper the large deflection dynamic problems of Euler beams are investigated. The vibration control equations are derived based on the multibody system method. A numerical procedure for solving the resulting differential algebraic equations is presented on the basis of the Newmark direct integration method combined with the Newton-Raphson iterative method. The sub beams are treated as small deformation in the convected coordinate systems, which can greatly simplify the deformation description. The rigid motions of the sub beams are taken into account through the motions of the convected coordinate systems. Numerical ex- amples are carried out, where results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Fluidized bed control system based on inverse system method

The invertible of the Large Air Dense Medium Fluidized Bed (ADMFB) were studied by introducing the concept of the inverse system theory of nonlinear systems. Then the ADMFB, which was a multivariable, nonlinear and coupled strongly system, was decoupled into independent SISO pseudo-linear subsystems. Linear controllers were designed for each of subsystems based on linear systems theory. The practice output proves that this method improves the stability of the ADMFB obviously.

Dynamical System Method for Solving Ill-Posed Operator Equations

Two dynamical system methods are studied for solving linear ill-posed problems with both operator and right-hand nonexact. The methods solve a Cauchy problem for a linear operator equation which possesses a global solution. The limit of the global solution at infinity solves the original linear equation. Moreover, we also present a convergent iterative process for solving the Cauchy problem.

Nonlinear Control for Autonomous Underwater Glider Motion Based on Inverse System Method

Autonomous underwater gliders are highly effcient,buoyancy-driven,winged autonomous underwater vehicles. Their dynamics are multivariable nonlinear systems. In addition,the gliders are underactuated and diffcult to maneuver,and also dependent on their operational environment. To confront these problems and to design an effective controller,the inverse system method was used to decouple the original system into two independent single variable linear subsystems. The stability of the zero dynamics was analyzed,and an additional closed-loop controller for each linear subsystem was designed by sliding mode control method to form a type of composite controller. Simulation results demonstrate that the derived nonlinear controller is able to cope with the aforementioned problems simultaneously and satisfactorily.

Legendre-Weighted Residual Methods for System of Fractional Order Differential Equations

The numerical approach for finding the solution of fractional order systems of boundary value problems (BPVs) is derived in this paper. The implementation of the weighted residuals such as Galerkin, Least Square, and Collocation methods are included for solving fractional order differential equations, which is broadened to acquire the approximate solutions of fractional order systems with differentiable polynomials, namely Legendre polynomials, as basis functions. The algorithm of the residual formulations of matrix form can be coded efficiently. The interpretation of Caputo fractional derivatives is employed here. We have demonstrated these methods numerically through a few examples of linear and nonlinear BVPs. The results in absolute errors show that the present method efficiently finds the numerical solutions of fractional order systems of differential equations.

Performance Analysis of Thermal Energy System with Linear System Method

The paper addresses the system performance of coal-fired power unit with changed auxiliary system or other local heat disturbance. The idea of state space model is imported and the universal formula for the calculation of system performance output is deduced on the system state equation. Two important vector of system are worked out under linear system assumption and transform. The transfer matrix is the characteristics of system itself and is constant for a similar condition, which greatly facilitates the analysis. The concept of thermal disturbance vector is proposed to construct the thermal disturbance input easily. The method can be helpful for analyzing any thermal disturbance input satisfying the assumption and also for supplementing the correction means of performance test. An example of 600MW power unit is presented to demonstrate its availability.

VIRTUAL SYSTEM METHOD FOR SYSTEM TREE

A machine, or other type of 'system' , can often be divided into several subsystems (components)and these subsystems again can be divided into sevreral subsystems (second generation). This process forms a system tree. To assess the reliability of the machine based on data from the trials of components of the machine, virtual system method is employed. It is proved in the paper that the lower confident limit of the reliability of the machine set by the virtual system method is level consistent and asymptotically optimal while the one set by Lindstrom-Maddens method is not.

Modeling Method for Flexible Energy Behaviors in CNC Machining Systems

CNC machining systems are inevitably confronted with frequent changes in energy behaviors because they are widely used to perform various machining tasks. It is a challenge to understand and analyze the flexible energy behaviors in CNC machining systems. A method to model flexible energy behaviors in CNC machining systems based on hierarchical objected-oriented Petri net(HOONet) is proposed. The structure of the HOONet is constructed of a high-level model and detail models. The former is used to model operational states for CNC machining systems, and the latter is used to analyze the component models for operational states. The machining parameters having great impacts on energy behaviors in CNC machining systems are declared with the data dictionary in HOONet models. A case study based on a CNC lathe is presented to demonstrate the proposed modeling method. The results show that it is effective for modeling flexible energy behaviors and providing a fine-grained description to quantitatively analyze the energy consumption of CNC machining systems.

Preparation of hydro-sodalite from fly ash using a hydrothermal method with a submolten salt system and study of the phase transition process

Hydro-sodalites are zeolitic materials with a wide variety of applications.Fly ash is an abundant industrial solid waste,rich in silicon and aluminum,from which hydro-sodalite can be synthesized.However,traditional hydrothermal synthesis methods are complex and cannot produce high-purity products.Therefore,there is a demand for processing routes to obtain high-purity hydro-sodalites.In the present study,high-purity hydro-sodalite(90.2 wt%)was prepared from fly ash by applying a hydrothermal method to a submolten salt system.Samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis(TG–DTA),and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)to confirm and quantify conversion of the raw material into the product phase.Purity of the samples prepared with an H2O/Na OH mass ratio of 1.5 and an H2O/fly ash mass ratio of 10 was calculated and the conversion process of the product phase was studied.Crystallinity of the product was influenced more by the Na OH concentration,less by the H2O/fly ash mass ratio.The main reaction process of the system is that the Si O ions produced by dissolution of the vitreous body in the fly ash and Na+ions in the solution reacted on the destroyed mullite skeleton to produce hydro-sodalite.This processing route could help mitigate processing difficulties,while producing high-purity hydro-sodalite from fly ash.

This paper focuses on studying the Poisson theory and the integration method of a Birkhoffian system in the event space. The Birkhoff＇s equations in the event space are given. The Poisson theory of the Birkhoffian system in the event space is established. The definition of the Jacobi last multiplier of the system is given, and the relation between the Jacobi last multiplier and the first integrals of the system is discussed. The researches show that for a Birkhoffian system in the event space, whose configuration is determined by （2n ＋ 1） Birkhoff＇s variables, the solution of the system can be found by the Jacobi last multiplier if 2n first integrals are known. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

GENERALIZED VARIATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION METHOD AND NUMERICAL EXPERIMENT FOR NON-DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM

The generalized variational data assimilation for non-differential dynamical systems is studied.There is no tangent linear model for non-differential systems and thus the general adjoint model can not be derived in the traditional way.The weak form of the original system was introduced, and then the generalized adjoint model was derived. The generalized variational data assimilation methods were developed for non-differential low dimensional system and non-differential high dimensional system with global and local observations. Furthermore, ideas in inverse problems are introduced to 4DVAR (Four-dimensional variational) of non-differential partial differential system with local observations.

Design of Retarded Fractional Delay Differential Systems Using the Method of Inequalities

Methods based on numerical optimization are useful and effective in the design of control systems. This paper describes the design of retarded fractional delay differential systems （RFDDSs） by the method of inequalities, in which the design problem is formulated so that it is suitable for solution by numerical methods. Zakian＇s original formulation, which was first proposed in connection with rational systems, is extended to the case of RFDDSs. In making the use of this formulation possible for RFDDSs, the associated stability problems are resolved by using the stability test and the numerical algorithm for computing the abscissa of stability recently developed by the authors. During the design process, the time responses are obtained by a known method for the numerical inversion of Laplace transforms. Two numerical examples are given, where fractional controllers are designed for a time-delay and a heat-conduction plants.

Novel method for random vibration analysis of single-degree-of-freedom vibroimpact systems with bilateral barriers

The vibroimpact systems with bilateral barriers are often encountered in practice.However,the dynamics of the vibroimpact system with bilateral barriers is full of challenges.Few closed-form solutions were obtained.In this paper,we propose a novel method for random vibration analysis of single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF)vibroim-pact systems with bilateral barriers under Gaussian white noise excitations.A periodic approximate transformation is employed to convert the equations of the motion to a con-tinuous form.The probabilistic description of the system is subsequently defined through the corresponding Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov(FPK)equation.The closed-form station-ary probability density function(PDF)of the response is obtained by solving the reduced FPK equation and using the proposed iterative method of weighted residue together with the concepts of the circulatory probability flow and the potential probability flow.Finally,the versatility of the proposed approach is demonstrated by its application to two typical examples.Note that the solution obtained by using the proposed method can be used as the benchmark to examine the accuracy of approximate solutions obtained by other methods.

The Relation between the Stabilization Problem for Discrete Event Systems Modeled with Timed Petri Nets via Lyapunov Methods and Max-Plus Algebra

A discrete event system is a dynamical system whose state evolves in time by the occurrence of events at possibly irregular time intervals. Timed Petri nets are a graphical and mathematical modeling tool applicable to discrete event systems in order to represent its states evolution where the timing at which the state changes is taken into consideration. One of the most important performance issues to be considered in a discrete event system is its stability. Lyapunov theory provides the required tools needed to aboard the stability and stabilization problems for discrete event systems modeled with timed Petri nets whose mathematical model is given in terms of difference equations. By proving stability one guarantees a bound on the discrete event systems state dynamics. When the system is unstable, a sufficient condition to stabilize the system is given. It is shown that it is possible to restrict the discrete event systems state space in such a way that boundedness is achieved. However, the restriction is not numerically precisely known. This inconvenience is overcome by considering a specific recurrence equation, in the max-plus algebra, which is assigned to the timed Petri net graphical model.

APPLICATION OF THE MOMENT METHODS TO ANALYSIS OF X-RAY DIFFRACTION LINE PROFILE FOR PA1010-BMI SYSTEM

Pure X-ray diffraction profiles have been analysed for polyamide 1010 and PA1O1O-BMI system by means of multipeak fitting resolution of X-ray diffraction. The methods of variance and fourth moment have been applied to determine the particle size and strain values for the paracrystalline materials. The results indicated that both variance and fourth moment of X-ray diffraction line profile yielded approximately the same values of the particle size and the strain. The particle sizes of (100) reflection have been found to decrease with increasing BMI content, whereas the strain values increased.
