The representative solution relies on the electromagnetic compensation subsystem (EMCS), but the interaction between the EMCS and permanent magnet guideway (PMG) exhibits nonlinear behaviors. The relationship is further superimposed with the hysteresis characteristics of HTS bulks, resulting in more complex nonlinear low-frequency vibrations. Due to the weak stiffness of the HTS maglev systems, sensitive spectra are easily excited when subjected to external disturbances, leading to resonance and endangering the safety and stability of train operation. In view of this, this paper focuses on exploring the nonlinear resonance behavior of the HTS-EMCS hybrid system. Firstly, the vertical dynamic equation of the hybrid system is constructed based on experimental results. Secondly, the analytical solutions of nonlinear equations are solved using the multi-scale method. Next, the nonlinear behavior of the system under different resonance conditions is analyzed through spectrum and phase trajectory analysis. Finally, vibration tests are conducted under different resonance forms to verify the conclusions. The study elucidates the nonlinear resonance laws of HTS-EMCS, and the results indicate that EMCS can effectively improve the damping and natural frequency of the original system. This helps to enhance system stability and avoid low-frequency resonance.

This paper proposes a novel three-level multi-channel chirp mode decomposition method (TMCMD) with Fourier series to solve the problems. Leveraging the analytic properties of chirp signals, the nonlinear and wide-band multi-channel chirp modes are transformed into a linear system via Fourier series expansion of instantaneous frequency (IF) and instantaneous amplitude (IA). Then the constraint problem formulation for linear mixing model is established. The algorithm comprises three stages. Firstly, a general parameterized time–frequency transform technique extracts time–frequency ridges to estimate IFs. Secondly, linear equations are established and solved through least square method to align frequency components from different channels. Finally, prior knowledge from the first two stages guides the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to separate source signals and the mixing matrix. TMCMD can deal with time varying signals and eliminate the need for preset initial frequencies. Its superior performance in mode alignment, noise robustness, filter bank structure, quasi-orthogonality of modes, and channel number robustness get investigated successively.

This study presents a semi-submerged vortex-induced vibration energy harvester that selectively operates within surface-layer flows, without requiring intrusive support structures. The device consists of a cantilever beam with integrated piezoelectric patches and an eccentric cylindrical bluff body designed to actively induce coupled bending–torsional vibration through asymmetric vortex shedding.

This paper presents an integrated inverse characterization method that combines the Wilson model with the Johnson-Champoux-Allard (JCA) model for simultaneous parameter determination in rigid porous materials. The methodology employs the two-microphone transfer function technique in impedance tubes compliant with ISO 10534–2, streamlining the characterization process without requiring additional specialized equipment or complex experimental setups.

An enhanced Sequential Quadratic Programming algorithm with a systematic grid search strategy determines the non-acoustic parameters within appropriate physical boundaries, effectively avoiding local minima and enhancing the robustness and reliability of the parameter inversion process. Experimental validation was conducted on four open-cell ceramics with porosities ranging from 0.84 to 0.92 using impedance tubes with cut-off frequencies of 1.6 kHz and 6.4 kHz, achieving absorption coefficient residuals below 0.04 and 0.05, respectively. Predicted acoustic impedance and normal incidence absorption coefficients demonstrate close agreement with experimental measurements and published data.
