This paper explores the deterministic time-dependent system optimum of mixed shared AVs (SAV) and human vehicles (SHV) system to provide the benchmark for the situation of mixed vehicle flows. In such a system, the system planner determines vehicle-traveller assignment and optimal vehicle routing in transportation networks to serve predetermined travel demand of heterogeneous travellers. Due to large number of vehicles involved, travel time is considered endogenous with congestion. Using link transmission model (LTM) as a traffic flow model, the deterministic time-dependent system optimum is formulated as linear programming (LP) model to minimize the comprehensive cost including travellers’ travel time cost, waiting time cost and empty vehicle repositioning time cost. Numerical examples are conducted to show system performances and model effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13873954.2020.1792509","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41397809","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 structure is convenient to be installed in vibration damping systems of high buildings for their protection in the case of earthquake. The considered string-mass structure contains a translator movable mass connected with two strings. Due to nonlinear geometric properties of the system the motion of the mass is described with a strong nonlinear second order differential equation. In the paper the approximate procedure for solving of the nonlinear equation of motion is developed. Based on the solution the influence of the string preloading force, slider mass and friction force on the vibration property of the string-mass system is investigated. It is concluded that variation of the preloading string force may be applied as a control parameter for vibration absorption and as the regulator of vibration decay time.","PeriodicalId":49871,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2020-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13873954.2020.1792510","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48417431","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}

The maximum amount of freshwater used in the experiment was 2.132 kg/day. The experiments were modelled using ANNs. Based on neural network simulation results, there is a significant correlation between experimental data and neural network modelling.

First of all, I would like to express my deep appreciation to my predecessor Inge Troch, for her outstanding work for this journal. Not only did she act as the EiC of the journal for the last 25 years, she also was the key persons when the idea of initiating a journal dedicated to the mathematical modelling of dynamical systems came up. Moreover, I am very thankful for her support during the transition phase and I hope that I can count on her invaluable experience as EiC also in the future. MCMDS is a popular journal for authors who want to publish their high-quality scientific work related to theoretical concepts for the derivation, simulation, simplification, analysis, calibration, and validation of mathematical models for dynamical systems and their application to demanding real-world problems. This is evidenced by the large number of papers submitted to the journal. I am convinced that in view of the increasing computer power available and the development of new powerful algorithms the relevance of modelling and simulation of dynamical systems will become even more important in all disciplines. Thus, there is no doubt that the journal has the potential to further improve its position on the market in the next years. During my tenure as EiC of the journal, I want to make MCMDS one of the journals which is among the first choice for authors who want to publish high-quality scientific results on mathematical modelling. In order to achieve this goal, there are a few steps to be taken: The time to first decision and the time to final acceptance of a paper are important numbers from the authors’ point of view. Thus, it is my goal to keep these times as short as possible and I aim at having the first decision three month after submission at latest. Of course, it shall be understood that reducing these times does not mean that any compromises on the thorough peer-review process will be made. To broaden the field of expertise I plan to extend the editorial board. This will also help to balance the work load for the review process among more people. This should also help to decrease the time to first decision of a paper. Therefore, one of the first measures will be to form an editorial board which is constituted of both well-experienced researchers and researchers who are at an earlier stage of their scientific career. Special Issues have always been an important part of MCMDS. Therefore, in consultation with the editorial board we will motivate researchers or research groups to organize special issues dedicated to topical subjects in the field of mathematical modelling of dynamical systems. Many different aspects determine the quality and reputation of a journal. I am well aware that the impact factor is one of the most visible number.

To couple these flow sections small compressible volumes are defined to describe the pressure between two adjacent fluid sections. The fluid-structure coupling is done through a power-preserving interconnection between velocities and forces. The resultant model includes external inputs for the fluid and inputs for external forces over the mechanical part that can be used for control or interconnection purposes.

Already in 1986 an IFAC symposium on Simulation in Control and in 1994 the first MATHMOD conference on Mathematical Modelling gathered each some 200 engineers and scientists to exchange ideas on how to establish trustworthy and easy-to-handle models for research and development. Moreover, very active working groups on simulation and modelling existed – primarily in Germany, the Benelux and in Scandinavia – with close relations to the industries of the respective countries. Therefore, it was not really astonishing for me when in 1993 a letter reached me from the Publishing House Swets & Zeitlinger telling that well-known experts from German Universities of Technology had made the suggestion to launch a new journal on Mathematical Modelling of Engineering Systems and, asking for my thoughts on that idea. After intensive discussions on the scope, the way of reviewing and the possibility of special issues, the idea became concrete. An Editorial Board was formed with S. MarsiliLibelli (Italy), P. C. Müller (Germany), D. J. Murray-Smith (UK) and R. E. Skelton (USA) as Associate Editors and with 25 further members from Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Slowenia, Sweden and USA. After intensive discussions, the title of the journal could be fixed to be ‘Mathematical Modelling of Systems’ with the subtitle ‘Methods, Tools and Applications in Engineering and Related Sciences’. In June 1995 the first issue was published with papers dealing with modelling of an activated sludge process, of marine vehicles, of magnetic bearings, of a propeller-driven type aircraft and of electromagnetic losses in electric machinery with authors from Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium. These papers demonstrated quite well the original main focus of the journal. It was understood right from the beginning that all papers submitted to the journal must be peer-reviewed by at least two experts. At the beginning, this was not as easy as it is now. In the 1990s authors had to submit three paper copies via ordinary mail and these copies were sent in the same way to the reviewers – how comfortable can this be done now due to email and websites. There was also the agreement that papers dealing with an application must define not only the purpose of the model and the assumptions made in its development but that also model validation must be discussed carefully as models without validation, i.e. without comparison of model behaviour with real-world observation are of little use. Equally, comparison with already existing models must be provided whenever appropriate.

An electromagnetic simulation is adopted to compute the electromagnetic dynamics and the actuation torque, which is employed as input for a structural dynamic simulation computing the electro-mechanical frequency response function. For model validation, the simulated and measured frequency response plots are compared for two actuators with solid and laminated outer yoke, respectively.

It is assumed that the elapsed time until the machine shifts from ‘in-control’ state to ‘out-of-control’ state is characterized as a fuzzy random variable. As a function of this parameter, the profit function is also a random fuzzy variable. Based on the credibility measure of fuzzy event, the model with fuzzy random elapsed time can be transformed into a crisp model .
