The calculus of variations is used to obtain the equations of motion, the boundary conditions and the transitions conditions which correspond to the described mechanical system. The derived differential equations are solved individually for each segment of the beam with the corresponding boundary and transitions conditions. The derived mathematical formulation generates as particular cases, and several mathematical models are used to simulate the presence of cracks. Some cases available in the literature and the presence of some errors are discussed. New results are presented for different end conditions and restraint conditions in the intermediate elastic constraints with their corresponding modal shapes.展开更多

Firstly, in order to lower the disturbance caused by the landing impact force, a landing phase is added between the swing phase and the stance phase, where the desired contact force is set as a small positive constant. Secondly, the joint torque optimization of the stance legs is formulated as a quadratic programming(QP) problem subject to equality and inequality/bound constraints. And a primal-dual dynamical system solver based on linear variational inequalities(LVI) is applied to solve this QP problem. Furthermore, based on the optimization results, a hybrid motion/force robust controller is designed to realize the tracking of the contact force, while the constraints of the stance feet landing angles are fulfilled simultaneously. Finally, the experiments are performed to validate the proposed methods.展开更多

A parameter estimation method with constraints was developed, based on the variational method. Performance functions and constraint equations in the variational method are constructed by analyzing input and output equations of the system. The problem of parameter estimation was transformed into a problem of least squares estimation. The parameter estimation equation was analyzed in order to get an optimized estimation of parameters based on the Lagrange multiplication operator. Simulation results showed that this method is better than the traditional least squares estimation, producing a higher precision when identifying parameters. It has very important practical value in areas of application such as system identification and parameter estimation.展开更多

This method can efficiently filter out the compact desired chirp signal, with a consequence that the cyclically uncorrelated interferences and stationary (colored) Gaussian noise are greatly suppressed in the Opt- FrFT domain. This improves the MSE minimization cyclic beamformer by reducing effectively the Opt-FrFY domain signal-noise cross terms in the presence of finite data length de-correlation operation. Simulation results show that the new method works well under a wide range of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal-to-interference ratio (SIR).展开更多

The influences of the order of the FRFT and the topological charge on the normalized intensity distribution, the phase distribution, and the orbital angular momentum density of a Lorentz-Gauss vortex beam in the FRFT plane are examined. The order of the FRFT controls the beam spot size, the orientation of the beam spot, the spiral direction of the phase distribution, the spatial orientation of the two peaks in the orbital angular momentum density distribution, and the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum density. The increase of the topological charge not only results in the dark-hollow region becoming large, but also brings about detail changes in the beam profile. The spatial orientation of the two peaks in the orbital angular momentum density distribution and the phase distribution also depend on the topological charge.展开更多

Two-coil mutual inductance measurement clearly demonstrates the onset of diamagnetic screening at 65 K, which is consistent with the gap opening temperature determined by previous angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy results. The applied magnetic field causes a broadening of the superconducting transition near the onset temperature, which is the typical behavior for quasi-two-dimensional superconductors. Our results provide direct evidence that Fe Se thin film grown on Nb-doped Sr Ti O3 substrate has an onset TC* 65 K,which is the highest among all iron-based superconductors discovered so far.展开更多
