The varying thrust was modeled as a series of simple harmonic components superimposed on a constant thrust. The analytical solutions for longitudinal motion were obtained by combining the motion equations and boundary conditions, and then, the transverse bending of rocket was examined solved by considering a coupled forcing vibration with varying parameters. Numerical solutions for a rocket with end-varying thrust were studied. It is shown that the lateral vibrations and motion attitudes of rocket depend on the frequencies of varying thrust to great extent, and an important phenomenon, beating, maybe take place. The proposed approach is more accurate and efficient in comparison to those standard numerical techniques.展开更多

Such disparities are uncontrolled and are severely negative symptoms in the process of economic development. On the basis of system dynamics(SD) modeling and the relationship between industrial relocation and regional economic growth, we construct a model of the interrelationship between the two aforementioned phenomena. The model is an effective and creative exploration for examining effects of industrial relocation on Chinese regional economic growth disparities. The SD model is employed in this study to build an inter-regional labor migration SD model, an inter-regional capital migration SD model, an intra-industry SD model, an intra-regional population SD model, and an intra-regional SD model which are based on realities in labor and capital flow from the view of industrial relocation. VENSIM software is utilized to perform a system simulation based on the data of the eastern, middle, and western regions from 2000 to 2010. Results show that industrial relocation gradually narrows the relative disparity in GDP among the three regions. Moreover, the absolute one is enlarged continuously. The absolute and relative disparities in per capita GDP among eastern, middle, and western regions generally exhibit decreasing trends.展开更多

The examples of isomorphism of dissipative processes are given in the article. The integrated assessment equation of transfer properties is developed based on the ion-dipole, dipole-dipole and ion-ion interactions and the force of liquid dielectric resistance to oscillating solvated particles. It is shown that the estimated magnitude of viscosity, diffusion, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are comparable with the current knowledge and experimental values in a wide range of electrolyte concentrations.展开更多

After the crystallizer has been designed, the research experiments have been conducted and evaluated through a thorough analysis of its performance by developing a mathematical model that can be used to predict the productivity of ice crystal at a range of coolant temperature. The model is developed based on the basic heat transfer equation, and by considering the solution's and the coolant's convective heat transfer coefficient(h) under the forced flow condition.The model's accuracy is verified by making comparison between the ice crystal mass' experimental value and the values predicted by the model. Consequently, the study found that the model helps in enhancing the PFC system.展开更多

Consequently, the ability to forecast the future status of mobility nodes plays a key role in QOS routing. We propose a random mobility model based on discretetime Markov chain, called ODM. ODM provides a mathematical framework for calculating some parameters to show the future status of mobility nodes, for instance, the state transition probability matrix of nodes, the probability that an edge is valid, the average number of valid-edges and the probability of a request packet found a valid route. Furthermore, ODM can account for obstacle environment. The state transition probability matrix of nodes can quantify the impact of obstacles. Several theorems are given and proved by using the ODM. Simulation results show that the calculated value can forecast the future status of mobility nodes.展开更多

The first prototype of TRPE was manufactured. This prototype is intended for high power density engines and can produce 36 power strokes per shaft revolution. Compared with the conventional engines, the vector sum of combustion gas forces acting on each rotor piston in TRPE is a pure torque, and the combustion gas rotates the rotors while compresses the gas in the compression chamber at the same time. Mathematical modeling of gas force transmission was built. Expression for gas torque on each rotor was derived. Different variation patterns of the volume change of working chamber were introduced. The analytical and numerical results is presented to demonstrate the main characteristics of gas torque. The results show that the value of gas torque in TRPE falls to be less than zero before the combustion phase is finished; the time for one stroke is 30° in terms of the rotating angle of the output shaft; gas torque in one complete revolution of the output shaft has a period which is equal to 60° and it is necessary to put off the moment when gas torque becomes zero in order to export the maximum energy.展开更多

In the FD analysis, the frequency response function (FRF) of the WEC device is obtained via the equation of motion, and the expressions of power capture width in regular and random waves are derived as well. In the TD modeling, based on a state space approximation of the convolution term in the motion equation, both regular wave and random wave simulations are carded out. The regular wave simulation results indicate that the state space approximation is sufficiently accurate and the capture width reaches the maximum in the vicinity of the natural frequency. In the random wave simulations, the effects of buoy size, the PTO damping and wave climate on the power capture width are discussed in detail, which leads to the conclusion that the capture widths are influenced by the natural frequency of the WEC device, peak frequency of the wave spectrum, the amplitude of FRF and PTO damping. Furthermore, the increase of the capture width is at the cost of a relatively large buoy size and PTO damping when control is not included.展开更多
