Methods A new concept of dynamic equilibrium of a system and its stability were presented first. It was pointed out that what is controlled directly by the input of a control system is the system's dynamic equilibrium rather than the states. Based on it, a new feedback linearization method for nonlinear system based on the Lyapunov direct method was given. Simulation studies were also carried out. Results The example and simulation show that by use of the method, the controller design becomes very simple and the control effect is quite satisfying. Conclusion The new method unifies the stabilizing problem(regulating problem) with the tracking problem. It is a very simple and effective method for the design of nonlinear and time varying control system.展开更多

For several applications, continuous crystallization is often the best operation mode because it is able to reproduce better crystal size distributions than other operation modes. Nonlinear oscillation in continuous industrial crystallization processes is a well-known phenomenon leading to practical difficulties such that control actions are necessary. Nonlinear oscillation is a consequence of the highly nonlinear kinetics, different feedbacks between the variables and elementary processes taking place in crystallizers units, and the non-equilibrium thermodynamic operation. In this paper the control of a continuous crystallizer model that displays oscillatory behavior is addressed via two practical robust control approaches： （i） modeling error compensation, and （ii） integral high order sliding mode control. The controller designs are based on the reduced-order model representation of the population balance equations resulting after the application of the method of moments. Numerical simulations show good closed-loop performance and robustness properties展开更多

文摘The competition between attraction and diffusion determines the kinetics of non-equilibrium aggregation process.The formation of silver nanoclusters through non-equilibrium aggregation of silver atoms in solution was simulated by molecular dynamics as a model system to study the influence of the competition between attraction and diffusion on the aggregation process by varying concentration and temperature.It has been found that the aggregation time decreases monotonically with increasing concentration of silver atoms because of increasing attraction,while initially decreasing and then increasing with increasing temperature because of the competition between accelerated attractive motion and increasing diffusive motion of silver atoms.A mean field approximation was employed to develop a phenomenological model describing the mechanism of temperature dependence of aggregation time.
