In order to improve the prediction accuracy, a combined forecasting method is proposed. Firstly, the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) of the original wind speed sequence is carried out to reduce the interaction between different feature scale sequences. Meanwhile, the Sample Entropy (SE) of each sub-sequence is calculated, and the sequences with similar complexity are merged to improve the prediction efficiency. Then the kernel width and regularization parameters of the Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) are optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Then the prediction model are used to predict the wind speed of the components, and the results of each component are superimposed, the final wind speed prediction result is obtained and compared with the results of other methods. The simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the prediction accuracy and have practical engineering application value.","PeriodicalId":124642,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123867270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is widely used for its advantages, such as smaller trauma, shorter recovery and less pain. But there are many deficiencies limiting the continued development of vascular intervention surgery: Serious damage of X-ray to the doctor during the surgery; high dependence on the doctor's experience and technique; low surgical efficiency and safety. Through the study and analysis of the interventional operation, the doctors will usually be subjected to the resistance when operating the catheter and the guide wire during the surgery. In some special condition, the suffered resistance would be larger. The improper operation will cause blood vessel damage. In the course of the actual operation, the catheter and the guide wire in the human blood vessels will suffer the viscous resistance from the blood. It affects the operation and efficiency of the doctors, as well as the safety of surgery. At the same time, the research about the viscous resistance of the catheters and the guide wire during the surgery in the field is still in a blank, and there is no research method that can reduce this resistance. In order to solve these problems, this paper has carried on the research on the mechanism of the viscous force of the catheter and the guide wire in surgery, and pioneers a method to supplement the micro-vibration in the proximal end of the guide wire. This method can reduce the viscous force of the catheter and the guide wire exerted by the blood during the push process, improve the surgical safety and the smoothness of the operation.","PeriodicalId":124642,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122484412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An attempt to combine the jet propulsion and undulatory propulsion is conducted in this paper by coming up with a model of dual-caudal fin. When the two flexible caudal fins move in the same direction, undulatory propulsion is achieved, while the two fins move in the opposite direction, jet propulsion is achieved. The hydrodynamic performance of the two propulsions is numerically investigated by fluid-structure interaction. The propulsive performance of three kinds of fin flexibility of caudal fin in the two propulsive types is firstly studied, their thrust forces, lift forces and fluid structures are compared. And then the kinematic parameters are discussed detailed including the phase difference and duty cycle. It is found that the jet propulsion obtains larger thrust force peaks which are beneficial for transient burst while the thrust force of undulatory propulsion is smoother. It is also found that the R-R case and R-M case present similar performance in thrust force which is better than R-F case in jet propulsion while R-M case performs the best in undulatory propulsion and the R-F case could obtain the largest efficiency in both of the two propulsive types. Moreover, the thrust force of jet propulsion is closely related with the duty cycle and fin flexibility in which shrink inward (instroke) quickly in R-M case could produce larger transient thrust force peaks without drag force peaks which may guide the control strategy of jet propulsion. These results will be useful for the development of flexible underwater robot.","PeriodicalId":124642,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"225 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122815760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, lacking of cooperation of catheter and guidewire is a great challenge for complete or complex surgery.
