Modeling and analysis of piezoelectric beam with periodically variable cross-sections for vibration energy harvesting

A bimorph piezoelectric beam with periodically variable cross-sections is used for the vibration energy harvesting. The effects of two geometrical parameters on the first band gap of this periodic beam are investigated by the generalized differential quadrature rule （GDQR） method. The GDQR method is also used to calculate the forced vibration response of the beam and voltage of each piezoelectric layer when the beam is subject to a sinusoidal base excitation. Results obtained from the analytical method are compared with those obtained from the finite element simulation with ANSYS, and good agreement is found. The voltage output of this periodic beam over its first band gap is calculated and compared with the voltage output of the uniform piezoelectric beam. It is concluded that this periodic beam has three advantages over the uniform piezoelectric beam, i.e., generating more voltage outputs over a wide frequency range, absorbing vibration, and being less weight.

By means of the standard truncated Painlevé expansion and a variable separation approach, a general variable separation solution of the generalized Burgers system is derived. In addition to the usual localized coherent soliton excitations like dromions, lumps, rings, breathers, instantons, oscillating soliton excitations, peakons, foldons, and previously revealed chaotic and fractal localized solutions, some new types of excitations — compacton and Jacobi periodic wave solutions are obtained by introducing appropriate lower dimensional piecewise smooth functions and Jacobi elliptic functions.

Adaptive Iterative Learning Control for Nonlinear Time-delay Systems with Periodic Disturbances Using FSE-neural Network

An adaptive iterative learning control scheme is presented for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear time-delay systems, with unknown nonlinearly parameterised and time-varying disturbed functions of known periods. Radial basis function neural network and Fourier series expansion （FSE） are combined into a new function approximator to model each suitable disturbed function in systems. The requirement of the traditional iterative learning control algorithm on the nonlinear functions （such as global Lipschitz condition） is relaxed. Furthermore, by using appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, all signs in the closed loop system are guaranteed to be semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the output of the system is proved to converge to the desired trajectory. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the control scheme.

Stochastic resonance in a time-delayed asymmetric bistable system with mixed periodic signal

This paper studies the phenomenon of stochastic resonance in an asymmetric bistable system with time-delayed feedback and mixed periodic signal by using the theory of signal-to-noise ratio in the adiabatic limit. A general approximate Fokker-Planck equation and the expression of the signal-to-noise ratio are derived through the small time delay approximation at both fundamental harmonics and mixed harmonics. The effects of the additive noise intensity Q, multiplicative noise intensity D, static asymmetry r and delay time T on the signal-to-noise ratio are discussed. It is found that the higher mixed harmonics and the static asymmetry r can restrain stochastic resonance, and the delay time τ can enhance stochastic resonance. Moreover, the longer the delay time τ is, the larger the additive noise intensity Q and the multiplicative noise intensity D are, when the stochastic resonance appears.

Design of variable structure controller for uncertain time-delay singular system

To study the approximation theory of real sliding mode and the design of variable structure controller for time-invariant linear uncertain time-delay singular system,the approximation theory of real sliding mode was developed to provide foundation for obtaining sliding mode by equivalent control,and switching functions with integral dynamic compensators and variable structure controllers were designed respectively under two circumstances that the system without uncertain part was stabilized by delay-dependent and delay-independent linear state feedback. The design guarantees the asymptotical stablity of switching manifolds,and the variable structure controllers can force solution trajectory of the system to arrive at the switching manifolds in limited time. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the feasibility and simplicity of the design method.

Time-delayed bilateral teleoperation using wave variable with prediction in three channel control architecture

This paper proposes a novel method for incorporating wave domain prediction in a three-channel(3CH)architecture,which is the optimal architecture from a transparency point of view,to overcome the poor transparency problem of using the wave variable method in a time-delay teleoperation system.A 3CH teleoperation control architecture is established by selecting parameters of the 4CH architecture sensibly for the system without force sensor in the master side.The communication channel is divided into a two-port model by combining force and velocity information reasonably to extend the wave variable method to a 3CH architecture.Then the I/O signal of the two-port model is transformed into wave variable.A predictor is added to the wave domain of the master side to further improve the transparency of the system,and a regulator is designed to ensure the passivity of the predictor.Experimental results show that the proposed method can guarantee stability and improve the transparency of the teleoperation system with time-delay.

New Periodic Wave Solutions and Their Interaction for （2＋1）-dimensional KdV Equation

A class of new doubly periodic wave solutions for （2＋1）-dimensional KdV equation are obtained by introducing appropriate Jacobi elliptic functions and Weierstrass elliptic functions in the general solution（contains two arbitrary functions） got by means of multilinear variable separation approach for （2＋1）-dimensional KdV equation. Limiting cases are considered and some localized excitations are derived, such as dromion, multidromions, dromion-antidromion, multidromions-antidromions, and so on. Some solutions of the dromion-antidromion and multidromions-antidromions are periodic in one direction but localized in the other direction. The interaction properties of these solutions, which are numerically studied, reveal that some of them are nonelastic and some are completely elastic. Furthermore, these results are visualized.
