However, how to implement software rejuvenation is still an important issue. In this paper, periodic impulse control is proposed as an effective tool to perform software rejuvenation and improve the availability of software system. First, we formulate the software rejuvenation system with periodic impulse by a group of coupled differential equations with impulsive action. Then the well-posedness of the system is demonstrated by using operator semigroup theory. At the end of the paper, numerical examples are shown to illustrate the dynamic behaviour of the system and the relationship between the system instantaneous availability and the impulsive indexes, including impulse interval and impulse strength, which yields that the system availability can be improved by adjusting the impulsive indexes.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":"27 1","pages":"522 - 542"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44414371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This modelling task is performed in object-oriented language in SIMSCAPE using the physical interconnected components to define the underlying dynamic equations. Simulation steady state results under rest and under variable physical exercise conditions, as well as under limiting conditions show a high qualitative agreement with clinical observations reported in literature.

The multibond graph formalism is used to model the coupled cable–beam system, with the cable and beam substructures using 3D rigid lumped segments. The stranded cables are modelled considering the bending stiffness, tension and sag due to self-weight. The generally applicable cable-structure modelling approach in this paper is applied to vibration-based non-destructive evaluation of electrical utility poles, where simulated modal testing of the pole-conductor system is required. Experimental parametrization of a stranded cable is carried out using specially designed apparatus to accurately measure the bending stiffness at different tensions, and to measure the axial stiffness and axial damping. A reduced-scale lab set-up and finite element models are developed for verification of the numerical models. Experimental free and forced vibration testing is performed on individual cantilever beam and stranded cable subsystems, and on the coupled cable–beam system to verify the numerical models in the frequency and time domains. It is concluded that the 3D bond graph models can be used to understand the interaction between cable and structure, allowing prediction of the in-plane and out-of-plane natural frequencies and time response of the connected pole. It is also concluded that by adding the cable to the pole structure, some modes emerge in the eigenvalue solution of the system which may be categorized as cable-dominated modes, pole-dominated or hybrid modes.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":"27 1","pages":"87 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13873954.2020.1871372","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47780896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a control oriented annular sector Kirchhoff–Love plate model featuring an elastic boundary condition and its modal analysis for one of the six identical M4 segments. Subsequently, we show that the well-known method of separation of variables is incompatible with the modal analysis of the presented distributed parameter model in cylindrical coordinates. Moreover, we successfully modally analyse the model using a finite difference approximation and a realistic construction of an M4 segment via a finite element approximation to compare the results.

The structure of an exoskeleton can vary depending on user’s physical dimensions, joints or muscles targeted for assistance, and maximum achievable actuator torque. In this research, a Human-Model-In-the-Loop (HMIL) constrained optimization technique is proposed to design the RoboWalk lower-limb exoskeleton. RoboWalk is an under-actuated non-anthropomorphic assistive robot, that besides applying the desired assistive force, exerts an undesirable disturbing force leading to the user’s fall. The HMIL method uses the augmented human-robot 2D model to take RoboWalk and human body’s joint torques into account during optimization. The superiority of HMIL method is proven by comparing the results with other strategies in the literature. Obtained results reveal elimination of the disturbing forces, 2 N.m. reduction in average human knee-joint torque, and significant decrease in the actuator required torque.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":"27 1","pages":"373 - 404"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13873954.2021.1879874","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49113355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For that reason, they are commonly interpreted as a kind of data-driven, black box modelling option that is in opposition to a physically inspired equation-based system representation for which suitable parameters are subsequently identified in a grey box sense. To bridge the gap between data-driven and equation-based modelling paradigms, this paper proposes a novel approach for a physics-inspired structuring of neural networks. The derivation of this kind of structuring, an optimal choice of network inputs and numbers of neurons in a hidden layer as well as the achievable modelling accuracy are demonstrated for the thermal and electrochemical behaviour of high-temperature fuel cells.

In this publication, a model for the vertical dynamics of an aerial rescue ladder as an application example for large scale flexible robots is derived based on the Lagrange formalism. The model consists of five flexible segments, each using an arbitrary number of flexible modes. Kinematic loops occurring due to the type of interconnection between the telescopic elements are implicitly solved by the chosen assumed modes. Linearized system matrices are extracted from the model directly and very efficiently. In the resulting modelling process, the manipulator is solely described by its position and orientation kinematics and thus an adaption to different kinds of manipulators is straightforward.
