Experimental results indicated that because of the huge specific surface area of the reinforcement, the interfacial reaction between the matrix and the reinforcement was re- strained intenslvely at elevated temperature and pulsed laser beam. The main factor affecting the weldability of the com- posite was the reinforcement segregation in the weld resulting from the push of the liquid/solid interface during the soli- dification of the molten pool. The laser pulse frequency directly affected the reinforcement segregation and the reinfor- cement distribution in the weld, so that the weldability of the composite could be improved by increasing the laser pulse frequency. On the basis of this, a satisfactory welded joint of sub-micron paniculate-reinforced aluminum matrix com- posite Al_2O_(3p)/6061Al was obtained by using appopriate welding parameters.展开更多

By utilizing an H<sub>∞</sub> control strategy, the optimal state feedback controller is derived by solving the linear matrix inequality problem for controller saturation. Case studies show that the proposed controller is capable of stabilizing the closed-loop system with good control performance and effectively suppressing vibrations in building structures under unknown external excitation. When compared to controllers that do not consider saturation, the proposed controller requires lower gain and results in reduced energy consumption. The research findings provide valuable insights for addressing real-world building structure control problems, contributing to both theoretical significance and practical applications.展开更多

In real applications, data are frequently influenced by high dimensions and noise. However, most relevant studies are based on complete data. This paper studies the optimal estimation of high-dimensional covariance matrices based on missing and noisy sample under the norm. First, the model with sub-Gaussian additive noise is presented. The generalized sample covariance is then modified to define a hard thresholding estimator , and the minimax upper bound is derived. After that, the minimax lower bound is derived, and it is concluded that the estimator presented in this article is rate-optimal. Finally, numerical simulation analysis is performed. The result shows that for missing samples with sub-Gaussian noise, if the true covariance matrix is sparse, the hard thresholding estimator outperforms the traditional estimate method.展开更多

Age-hardening behaviors of two composites and the related matrix alloys were studied by means of Brinell-hardness measurement, DSC and TEM. The results show that the hardness of the composite is improved obviously because of the addition of sub-micron Al2O3 particles. But the hardness increment of Al2O3p/Al composite after aging is lower than that of the related matrix alloy. Moreover, the formation of GP region is suppressed by the addition of sub-micron Al2O3 particles, which broadens the exothermic peak of S' phase. The increment of Mg content has a different influence on accelerating the aging processes of aluminum alloys and the composites, and the hardness also increases.展开更多

Based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIS) techniques and stability theory of stochastic differential equations, stochastic Lyapunov function method is adopted to design a finite-time H<sub>∞</sub> filter such that, for all admissible uncertainties, the filtering error system is stochastic finite-time stable (SFTS). A sufficient condition for the existence of a finite-time H<sub>∞</sub> filter for the stochastic system under consideration is achieved in terms of LMIS. Moreover, the explicit expression of the desired filter parameters is given. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

Actually, we use the standard structure of the basic reserve equation in order to rebuild a more sophisticated approach based on the theory of H<sub>∞</sub> control. Our model evaluates the incomplete information from the delayed fund valuations—due to the oscillatory pattern for benefit claims and investment experience of the past years—within the context of uncertainty additionally to the randomness which certainly exists. So, we construct estimations for the optimal proposed contribution rates based on a feedback mechanism which is a robust stabilization controller, using typical linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical application is fully investigated to obtain further insight into the problem.展开更多
