Effect of static transmission error on dynamic responses of spiral bevel gears

The effect of static transmission error on nonlinear dynamic response of the spiral bevel gear system combining with time-varying stiffness and backlash was investigated.Firstly,two different control equations of the spiral bevel gear model were adopted,where the static transmission error was expressed in two patterns as predesigned parabolic function and sine function of transmission errors.The dynamic response,bifurcation map,time domain response,phase curve and Poincare map were obtained by applying the explicit Runge-Kutta integration routine with variable-step.A comparative study was carried out and some profound phenomena were detected.The results show that there are many different kinds of tooth rattling phenomena at low speed.With the increase of speed,the system enters into stable motion without any rattling in the region(0.72,1.64),which indicates that the system with predesigned parabolic function of transmission error has preferable capability at high speed.

Analyzing Parabolic Profile Path for Underwater Towed-Cable

This article discusses the dynamic state analysis of underwater towed-cable when tow-ship changes its speed in a direction making parabolic profile path. A three-dimensional model of underwater towed system is studied. The established governing equations for the system have been solved using the central implicit finite-difference method. The obtained difference non-linear coupled equations are solved by Newton＇s method and satisfactory results were achieved. The solution of this problem has practical importance in the estimation of dynamic loading and motion, and hence it is directly applicable to the enhancement of safety and the effectiveness of the offshore activities.

Theoretical and Experimental Study of a Cylindro-Parabolic Solar Collector

This article outlines the theoretical and experimental performance studies of a cylindro-parabolic solar collector. The theoretical study consists on the establishment, through mass and energy balances, of a mathematical model to control the exiting temperature of the heating fluid as well as the temperatures of the absorber and the glass. The experimental level investigates the influence of the solar absorber tube diameter on the performances of the driving device. Several experiments were made in order to know the possibility to reach temperatures being able to ensure for example the ammonia vaporization in the generator of a solar absorption refrigeration system. These experiments were carried out under various operating and climatic conditions. The results are presented and discussed.

On the Regional Enlarged Observability for Linear Parabolic Systems

In this paper, we study the notion of the enlarged observability for distributed parabolic systems, where the aim is to reconstruct the initial state between two prescribed profiles P1 and P2 in an internal subregion c0 of the evolution domain f2. We give some definitions and properties of this concept, and then we solve the problem of the reconstruction of initial state using the Hilbert Uniqueness Method （HUM）. This leads to several interesting results which are performed through numerical example and simulations.

Second critical exponent for a higher-order semilinear parabolic system

This paper studies a higher-order semilinear parabolic system. We obtain the second critical exponent to characterize the critical space-decay rate of the initial data in the co-existence parameter region of global and non-global solutions. Together with the critical Fujita exponent established by Pang et al.(2006),this gives a clear and complete picture to the Fujita phenomena in the coupled higher-order semilinear parabolic system.

A NOTE ON THE MODEL REFERENCE ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF LINEAR PARABOLIC SYSTEMS WITH CONSTANT COEFFICIENTS

The problem of constructing a model reference adaptive control law for an uncertain 1- dimensional parabolic system with one constant coefficient is considered in this paper. Adaptive control law are obtained by Lyapunov redesign method. The energy method for parabolic systems and the Agmon＇s inequality are applied in the analysis, which leads to a stronger result than that of Hong and Bentsman （Automatica, 1994）.

RECENT PROGRESS ON CONTROLLABILITY/OB SERVABILITY FOR SYSTEMS GOVERNED BY PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

The main purpose of this paper is to overview some recent methods and results on controllability/observability problems for systems governed by partial differential equations. First, the authors review the theory for linear partial differential equations, including the iteration method for the null controllability of the time-invariant heat equation and the Rellich-type multiplier method for the exact controllability of the time-invariant wave equation, and especially a unified controllability/observability theory for parabolic and hyperbolic equations based on a global Carleman estimate. Then, the authors present sharp global controllability results for both semi-linear parabolic and hyperbolic equations, based on linearization approach, sharp observability estimates for the corresponding linearized systems and the fixed point argument. Finally, the authors survey the local null controllability result for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations based on the global Carleman estimate, and the local exact controllability result for general hyperbolic equations based on a new unbounded perturbation techniaue.

PARALLEL STABILIZATION

A new algorithm for the stabilization or (possibly turbulent, chaotic) distributed systems,governed by linear or non linear systems of equations is presented.The SPA (Stabilization Parallel Algorithm) is based on a systematic parallel decompositionof the problem (related to arbitrarily overlapping decomposition of domains) and on a penaltyargument.SPA is presented here for the case of linear parabolic equations, with distributed or boundarycontrol. It extends to practically all linear and non linear evolution equations, as it will bepresented in several other publications.

In this article, the authors establish the local null controllability property for semilinear parabolic systems in a domain whose boundary moves in time by a single control force acting on a prescribed subdomain. The proof is based on Kakutani＇s fixed point theorem combined with observability estimates for the associated lineaxized system.

We obtain that periodic solutions exist if the inter-specific competition rates are weak. The numerical simulations are also presented to illustrate our result.
