The electromagnetic suspension is inherently unstable and requires a control strategy for safe operation, which has been previously studied in the context of Maglev. However, the interaction between electromagnetic instability and another instability mechanism, known as wave-induced instability, occurring at high vehicle velocities, has not been explored. This interaction between two distinct instability mechanisms is the focus of this study. From a practical perspective, this study examines the stability of magnetically suspended vehicles (e.g., Maglev or Hyperloop) in relation to vehicle velocity and control gains. To account for this, this study properly includes the infinite guideway, thus allowing vehicle velocity to influence system stability. The results show that at sub-critical velocities, the guideway’s reaction force helps suppress perturbations and stabilize the system, with instability driven solely by improper electromagnetic control. However, at super-critical velocities, wave-induced instability drastically reduces the stable parameter space. This study further proposes a methodology to distinguish the contribution of each instability mechanism to the overall system stability, which is important for efficient mitigation measures. The findings reveal that beyond a certain super-critical velocity, wave-induced instability dominates much of the control-gain plane, with the control strategy effective in only limited regions. In conclusion, the study recommends revising control design strategies, as solely focusing on maximizing energy dissipation through control can trigger wave-induced instability. A more effective approach balances energy dissipation with avoiding the activation of wave-induced instability by steering clear of problematic vibration frequencies. These insights provide guidance for improving control strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"608 ","pages":"Article 119077"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143747124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the method for predicting the stationary PDFs of the stochastic responses of the levitation system is introduced, leveraging stationary solution theory. Building on this foundation, a feedback control strategy is developed to target the pre-specified stationary PDFs in two practical scenarios through the stochastic linearized levitation system. In the first scenario, the objective is to regulate the vibration amplitude of the stochastic levitation system. The second scenario extends the design framework to include tracking piecewise constant reference signals associated with the stochastic levitation system. Furthermore, the Lyapunov function method is employed to rigorously prove that the proposed feedback control ensures the asymptotic convergence of the PDF of the system response to the desired stationary PDFs over time. The efficacy of the proposed control forces, derived from linearized systems, is validated in both linearized and nonlinear systems. Numerical results demonstrate that the control strategy designed through the linearized system performs effectively even in nonlinear systems.

By actively tuning the rotational inertia, the driver can improve stability, dynamic response, and energy efficiency. Also, the robustness can be improved by adjusting the rotational inertia in real time to counteract natural external disturbances or changes in operating conditions. However, the ARID control problem can be complex due to various factors, including the need for online adjustments, nonlinear dynamics of the system, uncertainties in the operating conditions, and interactions with other components in the system. In this paper, a nonlinear controller based on type-3 (T3) fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) is developed. The suggested controller identifies the closed-loop dynamics automatically and does not depend on the ARID predefined physical/mathematical equations. A T3-FLS is used to estimate the control input nonlinearities, and another T3-FLS is used to estimate the dynamic nonlinearities. The both T3-FLSs are online tuned by the Lyapunov adaptation rules. Also, the impact of other disturbances and estimation errors of T3-FLSs are analyzed, and a parallel controller as a compensator is designed to guarantee stability. The designed controller is examined by an experimental study and various simulations.

The coupled wavelength and resonance frequency of this mode are measured and used to determine local bending stiffness, which directly reflects the presence and severity of defects. Theoretical modeling leverages Euler-Bernoulli beam theory to predict vibrational characteristics, focusing on the emergence of local modes at specific frequencies when structural properties are altered.

However, limited by the porous-solid, bi-phase-solid and multi-phase-solid microstructural models, the existing elastic metasurfaces have to comprise some thin connecting rods or materials with low elastic modulus so that the transmutative modes can be induced to capture the required phase and amplitude manipulation. More strikingly, these microstructure features may result in the very low strength of reported elastic metasurfaces, let alone the ability to withstand high hydrostatic-pressure. To simultaneously maintain the abundant elastic wave modes of solids and stable complex wavefront control under high pressures, we propose a kind of overflow elastic microstructural model which comprises the internal acoustic-structure coupling and develop an inverse-design methodology of an overflow elastic metasurface for the pressure-insusceptibility underwater acoustic vortex. Firstly, a model regarding topology optimization of microstructures with internal acoustic-structure coupling is built to achieve the prescribed transmissive phases and amplitudes. Specifically, four kinds of topology-optimized overflow microstructures can simultaneously possess the stable phase difference covering 0-2π and high transmission above 0.9 within the frequency range of 15-15.9 kHz. Benefiting from the strong internal acoustic-structure coupling, the microstructures are discovered to support the monopole/dipole resonances in fluid domains and acoustic-induced local vibrations in solid parts, which leads to the customized nonlinear dispersion properties. Finally, the assembled overflow elastic metasurface is numerically and experimentally demonstrated to enable a focused acoustic vortex beam with the high orbital angular momentum (OAM) purity (close to 100%) and high energy-converting efficiency (over 80%) while keeping the high hydrostatic-pressure-resistant capacity.
