At last the compressor cannot operate safely. To solve the problem, a novel flow control scheme based on inlet temperature and pressure ratio is proposed. In this scheme, the intake model of the cylinder under the capacity regulation condition is established to calculate the load of the first cylinder. Then, the adaptive predictive PID(APPID) controller is designed to control the pressure ratio of other stages, and the grey prediction model is used to predict the pressure output to overcome the system delay. To solve the problem of control parameters tuning, an improved particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm is adopted to obtain the optimal control parameters.The effectiveness of the adaptive predictive PID control method is verified by a two-stage compressor model simulation.Finally, the flow control scheme is applied to the actual four-stage air reciprocating compressor flow control system. Although the temperature difference is greater than 15 ℃, the compressor exhaust flow is maintained at the set value and the pressure ratio is also maintained stable. At the same time, the compressor pressure ratio can be quickly adjusted without overshoot. The application result further verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the scheme.展开更多

This approach is based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory for functional differential equations and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. A corresponding Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is introduced for the stability analysis of this system with use of the descriptor and "neutral-type" model transformation without producing any additional dynamics. The delay-dependent stability criteria are derived for this system. Conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities, and for the first time referred to neutral systems with the time-varying propagation and delay- dependent stability for capacity analysis of MANETs. The proposed criteria are less conservative since they are based on an equivalent model transformation. Furthermore, we also provide an effective and efficient iterative algorithm to solve the constrained stability control model. Simulation experiments have verified the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithm.展开更多

The load on the cross member is vertical, which is transverse to the longitudinal axis, and therefore the cross member is loaded in the weakest direction. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the vertical load capacity and deflection of three different types of cross members. Single-point load tests, with the load applied in the center of the specimen and double-point load tests, with a span of 2.4 m, were conducted. For the single-point load configuration, the yield of the 25 mm solid bar cross member was nominally 98 kN of vertical load, achieved at 42 cm of deflection. For cable cross members, yield was not achieved even after 45 cm of deflection. Peak vertical loads were about 89 kN for 17 mm cables and67 kN for the 15 mm cables. For the double-point load configurations, the 25 mm solid bar cross members yielded at 150 kN of vertical load and 25 cm of deflection. At 25 cm of deflection individual cable strands started breaking at 133 and 111 kN of vertical load for the 17 and 15 mm cable cross members respectively.展开更多
