A concerned analytical landing gear model for simulating actual aircraft taxiing is formulated. The equivalent linearization results obtained by probabilistic method are inducted to treat landing gear non linear parameters such as shock absorber air spring force, hydraulic damping and Coulomb friction, tire stiffness and damping. The power spectral density for non stationary analysis is obtained via variable substitution and then Fourier transform. A representative response quantity, the overload of the aircraft gravity center, is analyzed. The frequency response function of the gravity overload is derived. The case study demonstrates that under the same reached velocity the root mean square of the gravity acceleration response from constant acceleration taxiing is smaller than that from constant velocity taxiing and the root mean square of the gravity acceleration response from lower acceleration taxiing is greater than that from higher acceleration.展开更多

It is shown that in GHR model vehicle is allowed to run arbitrarily close together if their speed are identical,and it waves aside even though the separation is larger than its desired distance. Based on these investigations, a modified GHR model which features a new nonlinear term which attempts to adjust the inter-vehicle spacing to a certain desired value was proposed accordingly to overcome these deficiencies. In addition, the analysis of the additive nonlinear term and steady-state flow of the new model were studied to prove its rationality.展开更多

The finite difference method was used to solve numerically the coupled time-dependent Navier-Stokes and convective-diffusion equations in a body-fitted orthogonal coordinate system. Numerical simulation was conducted on the experimental cases, in which MIBK drops with the size ranging from 1.24 mm to 1.97 mm rose and accelerated freely in pure water and in dilute sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) aqueous solution. The applicability of the numerical scheme was validated by the agreement between the simulation results and the experimental data. Both the numerical and experimental results showed that the velocitytime profile exhibited a maximum rising velocity for drops in SDS solutions, which was close to the terminal velocity in pure water, before it dropped down to a steady-state value. The effect of the sorption kinetics of surfactant on the accelerating motion was also evaluated. It is also suggested that introduction of virtual mass force into the formulation improved obviously the precision of numerical simulation of transient drop motion.展开更多

Existence of a weak solution is first established through a result of Meyers' theorem and Schauder fixed point theorem, where the coupled functions σ(s),k(s) are assumed to be bounded in the C(IR×(0, T)). If σ(s),k(s) are Lipschitz continuous we prove that solution is unique under some restriction on integrability of solution. The regularity of the solution in dimension n ≤ 2 is then analyzed under the assumptions on σ(s) ∈w^1,∞(Ω×(0, T)) and the boundedness of σ'(s) and σ″(s).展开更多

The res...To have a deep understanding of the lateral stability of hypersonic lifting-configurations, wind-tunnel tests of roll static and dynamic stability for typical hypersonic lifting-configurations are carried out. The results show the roll is static unstable in small angles; the roll dynamic test curves present obvious non-linearity characteristics, and the model vibrates violently even When the angle of attack is small, which may be provoked by the non-symmetry transition from the small transverse flow around the nose of model. Subsequent research adopts longitudinal trips to generate symmetry transition at the fore-body of the model. As a result, the lateral stability of the aircrafts is apparently improved. The results show that the lateral stability of hypersonic aircrafts is very weak, and the main reason for this is lateral perturbation of flow over the nose, among which asymmetric transition weighs the most. Adoption of longitudinal trips could spur fixed transition of lateral flow, reduce the transition asymmetry of lateral flow, and strengthen the lateral stability of hypersonic aircrafts at the same time.展开更多

The proposed stability conditions are presented in the form of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). LMI-based stability conditions for interval type-2 fuzzy static output feedback H_∞ control synthesis are also developed.Several simulation examples are given to show the superiority of the proposed approach.展开更多

By using the anti-weighted energy method and nonlinear Halanay's inequality, we prove that all noncritical traveling waves(waves with speeds c > c_*, c_* is minimal speed) are time-exponentially stable, when the initial perturbations around the waves are small. As a corollary of our stability result, we immediately obtain the uniqueness of the traveling waves.展开更多

These systems are composed from several "subsystems" connected sequentially in a particular way: a part of the state variables of each "subsystem" also appears in the next "subsystem" as an "exogenous variable" which can also be interpreted as a con trol generated by an "exosystem". Therefore these "subsystems" are not observation systems, but formally can be considered as controlobservation systems. The problem of observability of such systems can be reduced to rank conditions on the "subsystems". Indeed, under the condition of Lyapunov stability of an equilibrium of the "large", verticumtype system, it is shown that the Kalman rank condition on the linearization of the "subsystems" implies the observability of the original, nonlinear verticumtype system. For an illustration of the above linearization result, a stagestructured fishery model with reserve area is considered. Observability for this system is obtained by applying the above linearization and decomposition approach. Furthermore, it is also shown that, applying an appropriate observer design method to each subsystem, from the observa tion of the biomass densities of the adult (harvested) stage, in both areas, the biomass densities of the prerecruit stage can be efficiently estimated.展开更多
