This study aims to investigate dynamic responses of a coupling-misaligned and eccentric rotor system supported by four ball bearings with cubic nonlinear contact stiffness under three base motions, i.e., base rolling, pitching, and hovering motions, contributing to a deeper understanding of vibration characteristics of rotor dynamic systems in space transportation equipment. Equations of motion of the rotor system under base motions are derived by using the Lagrangian method. The incremental harmonic balance method is used to obtain periodic solutions of the rotor system under base motions, and the Floquet theory along with the precise Hsu's method is employed to analyze stability of periodic solutions and their bifurcations. It is found that vibration intensity of the rotor system is not always aggravated under the effect of a base motion load, and it can even be suppressed in some conditions. Nevertheless, response characteristics at even multiples of the shaft rotation frequency for the misalignment fault remain significant, and these fault characteristics are consistent with those observed when the base is fixed. In addition, base motions affect the amplitude of the constant vibration response in frequency domain, leading to the deviation of disk center trajectories. Disk center trajectories shift direction varies with base motion types, potentially causing rotor-stator rubbing impacts at different locations. Furthermore, it is found that nonlinear behaviors of the rotor system change with base motions, including differences in bifurcation types and rotation speeds corresponding to bifurcations. These findings provide theoretical support for the structural design and fault diagnosis of transportation equipment that frequently undergoes spatial motions, such as aircraft engines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 116240"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290534","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}

Therefore, a thorough and visual analysis of 3D guided waves scattering interacting with defects is urgently needed. The 3D semi-analytical finite element method (FEM) proposed in this paper can not only have advantages on mesh reduction and need no absorption medium or perfectly matched layer to suppress the reflected waves compared to traditional FEM, but also can directly obtain the scattering coefficients of each guided wave to visualize the scattering phenomena and mechanism. Moreover, the virtual non-reflecting boundary is processed perfectly, thus eliminating all spurious reflected waves. A three-step strategy of this method is performed as follows: Firstly, the 3D scattered waves at the virtual boundary are represented by a series of Lamb and SH cylindrical guided waves of Bessel function form with unknown scattering coefficients; Secondly, utilizing the mode orthogonality, the unknown tractions at the virtual boundary are expressed in terms of the unknown scattering displacements at the virtual boundary via scattering coefficients; Thirdly, this linear relationship at the virtual boundary can be assembled into the global FEM matrix to solve the problem. This method is implemented to analyze the scattering phenomena due to symmetric defects in a 3D infinite plate. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method is finally validated compared with existing methods, and the scattering mechanisms of different defect types, shapes and sizes are discussed in detail.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 116236"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144241068","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}

Traditional path planning algorithms have the disadvantages of poor real-time performance, poor flexibility, poor scalability, and weak anti-jamming ability, which make these algorithms difficult to apply in the control of large-scale joint non-uniform military UAV formations. This paper proposes a path-planning method for large-scale, low-cost military UAVs, it addresses three key aspects: system design, path-planning algorithms, and UAV safety guarantee. In system design, we implement a distributed formation control system. In this setup, individual agents can perform flight tasks independently using autonomous algorithms without needing to communicate with a central control center. In path planning algorithms, we quantify the four interactions of UAVs and combine them with the linear separation force strategy to construct a set of behavior-based formation coordination control methods through a reasonable interaction combination method. By adding guided paths, based on the integration of behavior-based formation coordination control methods, this paper retains the advantages of global path planning algorithms, such as high success rate, and local path planning algorithms, such as real-time performance. By designing a distributed formation control system with strong robustness and incorporating an escape mechanism, the system benefits from both passive and active fault-tolerant control strategies. This significantly enhances the overall stability of the system. Ablation experiments demonstrate that the components of the formation control system proposed in this paper are reasonable. Simulation experiments indicate that the distributed large-scale joint non-uniform UAV formation real-time path planning method is secure, stable, adaptable to various planning environments, and exhibits a fast convergence speed for the formation.
