完整制与分离制:宋代地方行政权力的转移

宋代地方行政制度的最大特色,是在同一高层政区存在多个平行的行政组织与长官,即在高层政区实行“分离制”。从“行政幅度”的角度进行审视,这种制度是宋代中央政府重新分配地方行政权力,使权力分配的格局更有利于中央。“分离制”成为宋代中央集权程度超越前代的一个直接原因。南宋时期,在同级的不同机构之间,官员互相兼职的现象日益普遍,导致事实上的机构精简;在中央政府与高层政区之间,出现一级“跨高层准政区”。这两个因素减弱了“分离制”实施的力度,导致南宋中央的集权程度明显不如北宋。

我国分离制行政体制的理性思考

分离制是我国当前的行政组织体制,它试图寻求中央集权和地方分权的某种和谐一致。然而,更准确地说,我国的分离制呈现出一种畸形的状态,暴露出很多问题。文章试图从我国分离制的现状和出现问题的原因入手,对分离制的完善和改进提出自己一点粗浅的思考。

Stabilization of discrete nonholonomic chained system

Aimed at the stabilization of the nonholonomic chained system under fixed sample control, two control laws were proposed. The discrete model of the nonholonomic chained system under zero-hold was obtained through the integrate method to the continuous model. And the discrete model was transformed to the form with two linear subsystems through coordinate transformation. Two feedback control laws, time-invariant control law and time-varying control law, were proposed; and the local stabilization and global stabilization were realized respectively. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control laws. The discrete nonholonomic chained system can converge to zero from any initial state exponentially, and the convergence rate can be changed through changing the parameters of the control laws.

Symmetries and Mei Conserved Quantities of Nonholonomic Controllable Mechanical Systems

This paper concentrates on studying the symmetries and a new type of conserved quantities called Mei conserved quantity. The criterions of the Mei symmetry, the Noether symmetry and the Lie symmetry are given. The conditions and the forms of the Mei conserved quantities deduced from these three symmetries are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the result.

Lie Symmetries and Conserved Quantities of Arbitrary Order Nonholonomic Systems

The invariance of the differential equations under the infinitesimal transformations was used to study the Lie symmetries and conserved quantities of arbitrary order nonholonomic systems. The determining equations, the restriction equations, the structure equation and the form of the conserved quantities were obtained.

A Study on the Effect of Welding Sequence in Fabrication of Large Stiffened Plate Panels

Welding sequence has a significant effect on distortion pattern of large orthogonally stiffened panels normally used in ships and offshore structures. These deformations adversely affect the subsequent fitup and alignment of the adjacent panels. It may also result in loss of structural integrity. These panels primarily suffer from angular and buckling distortions. The extent of distortion depends on several parameters such as welding speed, plate thickness, welding current, voltage, restraints applied to the job while welding, thermal history as well as sequence of welding. Numerical modeling of welding and experimental validation of the FE model has been carried out for estimation of thermal history and resulting distortions. In the present work an FE model has been developed for studying the effect of welding sequence on the distortion pattern and its magnitude in fabrication of orthogonally stiffened plate panels.

Intelligent Integrated Control of Underactuated Mechanical Systems with Second-order Nonholonomic Constraints

This paper describes an intelligent integrated control of an acrobot, which is an underactuated mechanical system with second-order nonholonomic constraints. The control combines a model-free fuzzy control, a fuzzy sliding-mode control and a model-based fuzzy control. The model-free fuzzy controller designed for the upswing ensures that the energy of the acrobot increases with each swing. Then the fuzzy sliding-mode controller is employed to control the movement that the acrobot enters the balance area from the swing-up area. The model-based fuzzy controller, which is based on a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, is used to balance the acrobot. The stability of the fuzzy control system for balance control is guaranteed by a common symmetric positive matrix, which satisfies linear matrix inequalities.

Adaptive output feedback control for uncertain nonholonomic chained systems

An adaptive output feedback control was proposed to deal with a class of nonholonomic systems in chained form with strong nonlinear disturbances and drift terms. The objective was to design adaptive nonlinear output feedback laws such that the closed-loop systems were globally asymptotically stable, while the estimated parameters remained bounded. The proposed systematic strategy combined input-state-scaling with backstepping technique. The adaptive output feedback controller was designed for a general case of uncertain chained system. Furthermore, one special case was considered. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

Finite Time Consensus Problem for Multiple Non-Holonomic Agents with Communication Delay

In this paper, finite time consensus problem is discussed for multiple non-holonomic mobile agents with constant communication delay. The objective is to design non-smooth distributed control laws such that multiple non-holonomic mobile agents can be all in agreement within any given finite time larger than communication delay. The authors propose a novel switching control strategy with the help of Lyapunov-based method and graph theory.

OUTPUT-FEEDBACK CONTROL FOR NONHOLONOMIC SYSTEMS WITH LINEAR GROWTH CONDITION

This paper deals with the stabilization of the nonholonomic systems with strongly nonlinear uncertainties. The objective is to design an output feedback law such that the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically regulated at the origin. The systematic strategy combines the input-state scaling technique with the backstepping technique. A novel switching control strategy based on the output measurement of the first subsystem is employed to make the subsystem far away from the origin. The simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Integrated adaptive dynamic surface car-following control for nonholonomic autonomous electric vehicles

In this paper,the car-following control problem of nonholonomic autonomous electric vehicles in the curved highway is studied.Owing to the fact that the nonholonomic autonomous electric vehicles have the features of strong coupling,parametric uncertainties,nonlinearities and external disturbances,a novel integrated adaptive car-following control system is constructed to supervise the longitudinal and lateral motions of vehicles.Firstly,an adaptive fuzzy dynamic surface car-following control strategy is presented to determine a vector of total forces and torque of autonomous electric vehicles,which can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness of close-loop control signals.Then,an optimal tire forces distribution law is proposed to dynamically allocate the desired coupled tire longitudinal and lateral forces in real-time.Finally,simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed car-following control approach.
