The slicing method in helical gears leads to significant differences in fractal contact stiffness compared to spur gears, affecting stiffness calculations. Consequently, this research focuses on super-high-contact-ratio (SHCR) helical gears, commonly used in electric vehicles. The fractal contact model for the SHCR helical gear pair is developed based on fractal theory. The tooth contact coefficients in the conventional contact model have been improved. The new model considers distinctions in the tooth surface contact coefficients for different slices simultaneously in the helical gear pair. Furthermore, considering the axial force components, an improved model for the TVMS of the SHCR helical gear pair is developed. The investigation examines the effects of fractal and gear parameters on TVMS. The findings reveal that the TVMS escalates with an increase in fractal dimension and a decrease in the characteristic scale coefficient. Moreover, it is observed that the TVMS of the SHCR helical gear exhibits a relatively lower sensitivity compared to spur gears to changes in fractal parameters. Additionally, the contact ratio emerges as a crucial factor affecting TVMS. Notably, when the contact ratio approximates an integer value, the peak-to-peak value of TVMS diminishes. Conversely, in instances where the contact ratio is large, the average value tends to increase.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"146 ","pages":"Article 108806"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143735088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To answer this question for different network topologies and transition probabilities, we propose two new planes involving occupation, closeness, and transient time, which characterize the transport properties of the networks, as opposed to the more static representations of the network, as previously reported. The first plane provides a local relation between occupation and closeness of nodes, while the second plane relates the average closeness and average transient time to converge to the asymptotic state of the network as a whole. We compare 16 different topologies considering complex real-world and synthetic networks. In all the cases considered, we found an approximate inverse relation between occupation and closeness of nodes, and a direct relation between the global transient time and average closeness of the network. The calculations are done directly from the network topology and transition probabilities, but they can also be estimated by directly simulating the network transport.

Bioconversion of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol in continuous fermentation is a complex cellular metabolic process in nature. Due to the unclear metabolic mechanisms and the lack of experimental data of intracellular concentrations, kinetic parameters of the fermentation system are often to a certain degree uncertain. This paper proposes a biobjective inverse optimal control problem with functional inequality constraints to describe the process control of glycerol continuous fermentation system considering the uncertainties of kinetic parameters, where the objectives are formulated based on the biological robustness and the <em>settling time</em> under approximately stable state. A novel distance-based stochastic comparison principle is designed to handle the complex constraints. A bilevel approach using nested strategy is also constructed to solve the biobjective bilevel problem, which is a combination of whale optimization algorithm with the new comparison principle for the lower level and chaotic competitive differential evolution algorithm for the upper level. Numerical comparisons show that the novel comparison principle has certain advantages in convergence speed for 13 benchmark functions compared with two other constraint handling techniques and the obtained optimal dilution rate is effective to avoid glycerol waste for about 30 h.

This paper presents some of the results of this formulation of the heredity on the dynamics of a linear harmonic oscillator and on that of the Duffing oscillator which are representatives of oscillating mechanical structures. For the linear oscillator, the heredity amplifies the vibration amplitude and shifts the resonance frequency to higher values. For the hereditary hardening Duffing oscillator, the analysis of the stability of the single equilibrium point reveals the existence of a Hopf bifurcation appearing at a given value of the heredity coefficient. This leads to self-sustained oscillations which are determined mathematically using the averaging method and confirmed numerically. The heredity also modifies the length of the hysteresis domain through the change of the effective stiffness and damping coefficients. It can also be a source of chaos in a system free of chaos which can appear through quasiperiodic routes and period-doubling. For the hereditary Duffing oscillator with single hump and double well potential or the bistable Duffing oscillator with three equilibrium points, one also finds the existence of a Hopf bifurcation appearing at a given value of the heredity coefficient.
