Since the flight control system (FCS) is nonlinear and time-varying, the LPV technique is used for FCS. And then the adaptive fault estimation algorithm based on the LPV adaptive observer is proposed to estimate the fault. To minimize the effect of disturbances on the fault estimation, the H~ robust performance index is introduced to design the LPV adaptive fault diagnosis observer and the fault estimation algorithm. The result shows that the method has good estimation performance and is robust to external disturbances. The design method is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a helicopter LPV FCS model with the actuator fault is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The curve of the total energy versus the separation R between the nucleus at the centre and nuclei at the apexes for this structure of Li7 has been calculated by using the method of Gou's modified arrangement channel quantum mechanics (MACQM). The result shows that the curve has a minimal energy of-52.169 73 a.u. at R = 5.06ao. When R approaches infinity, the total energy of seven lithium atoms has the value of-51.996 21 a.u. So the binding energy of Li7 with respect to seven lithium atoms is 0.173 52 a.u. Therefore the binding energy per atom for Li7 is 0.024 79 a.u. or 0.674 eV, which is greater than the binding energy per atom of 0.453 eV for Li2, the binding energy per atom of 0.494 eV for Li3 and the binding energy per atom of 0.632 eV for Li5 calculated previously by us. This means that the Li7 cluster may be formed stably in a body-centred regular octahedral structure with a greater binding energy.展开更多

Mining problems are somewhat unique, however, in that plenty of real world experience is generally available and can be turned into valuable experimental data.Every pillar that is developed, or stope that is mined, represents a full-scale test of a rock mechanics design. By harvesting these data, and then using the appropriate statistical techniques to interpret them,mining engineers have developed powerful design techniques that are widely used around the world.Successful empirical methods are readily accepted because they are simple, transparent, practical, and firmly tethered to reality. The author has been intimately associated with empirical design for his entire career, but his previous publications have described the application of individual techniques to specific problems. The focus of this paper is the process used to develop a successful empirical method. A sixstage process is described: identification of the problem, and of the end users of the final product; development of a conceptual rock mechanics model, and identification of the key parameters in that model;identification of measures for each of the key parameters, and the development of new measures(such as rating scales) where necessary; data sources and data collection; statistical analysis; and packaging of the final product. Each of these stages has its own potential rewards and pitfalls, which will be illustrated by incidents from the author's own experience. The ultimate goal of this paper is to provide a new and deeper appreciation for empirical techniques, as well as some guidelines and opportunities for future developers.展开更多

The precursor was directly sintered at 1100 ℃ with reducing atmosphere for 3 h to obtain new green CaO:Tb^3+, Li^+ Phosphors. The effects of the content of the doping ions Tb^3+ on the luminescent properties have been studied. The structure, morphology and luminescent properties of the phosphors were characterized by XRD, SEM, UV and PL-PLE spectra respectively. The results showed that the CaO:Tb^3+, Li^+ was a single face-centered cubic crystals, the phosphor particle distributed uniformly. The phosphor has a strong absorptive capacity excited by 282 nm ultraviolet ray, and could emit the strong green light with the wavelength of 543 nm (^5D4→^7F5). The CaO:Tb^3+, Li^+ is a new type of green fluorescent material.展开更多

The concentration and pKa value of the alcohols both play important roles in determining the size and shape of the SrTiO3 polyhedral submicro]nanocrystals. The adsorption energy of alcohol molecules on SrTiO3 [110] facets depends on their pKa values, which are therefore critical for morphology control. Using the same strategy, a series of BaTiO3 polyhedral submicro/nanocrystals with systematic morphology evolution have also been successfully prepared.展开更多

In the time-variant consensus tracking problem, a leader agent is expected to track a desired reference input, simultaneously, follower agents are expected to maintain a time-variant formation. To solve the time-variant consensus tracking problem of planar multi-agent systems with non-holonomic constraints, a time-variant consensus tracking control strategy is designed on the basis of an unidirectional topology structure. One of main contributions of this paper is the time-variant consensus tracking protocol for general time-variant formations of planar multi-agent systems with non-holonomic constraints, the other main contribution of this paper is an active predictive control strategy, where predictions of agents are generated actively, so that the computational efficiency is improved than passive approaches. The proposed control strategy is verified by two types of time-varying formations of wheeled mobile robots, and the experimental results show that the proposed control strategy is effective for general time-variant consensus tracking problems of planar multi-agent systems with non-holonomic constraints in local and worldwide networked environments.展开更多

The ZIF-67 dodecahedrons were prepared as first self-template to synthesize the Co-LDH hollow dodecahedrons, which were further used as self-template to fabricateCo3O4 NSHDs by a controlled calcination.The proposed two-step self-templated method not only brings hollow structures without auxiliary template, ultrathin nanosheet, ultrafine grains, and large surface areas, but also allows the easy and uniform surface modification, as demonstrated of PdO modification. TheCo3O4 NSHDs with above features could show multifunctional applications, such as sensing and catalysis. Experiments suggest that theCo3O4 NSHDs show good gas sensing performances to trimethylamine at a low operating temperature(100 oC). They can be further enhanced by PdO surface modification, which have a low detection limit(250 ppb) and a short response time(4.5 s).In addition, theCo3O4 NSHDs exhibited excellent oxygen evolution reaction performances with a low overpotential of359 mV, low Tafel slope of 80.7 mV dec-1 and low electrochemical impedance, which was superior to those for theCo3O4 NCs obtained by directly calcinating the ZIF-67 templates,Ni foam and most common metal oxides catalysts.展开更多
