The method proposed in the article refers to the Lyapunov direct method and Extended Kalman Filter technique to ensure the convergence of the slave state trajectories to the corresponding master state trajectories. Initially, an output feedback-based synchronization approach is attempted, assuming that bounds of unmeasurable states are available for controller synthesis. However, this approach has limitations in handling complete parametric uncertainty for the considered class of systems. To overcome this limitation, a state feedback-based synchronization scheme is presented, and an appropriate state feedback controller and parametric adaptation laws are designed analytically. In the case where only output states are accessible for feedback, and the system is subjected to complete parametric uncertainty, an Extended Kalman Filter based estimation scheme is used. This approach facilitates achieving synchronization despite the presence of external channel noise disturbances with a Gaussian distribution. The potency of the proposed results is successfully substantiated for the chaotic Lorenz system, which belongs to the considered class of nonlinear systems. Ultimately, numerical simulations are provided to corroborate the efficacy of proposed synchronization and estimation strategy.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"49 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138946225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultaneously, the discretization also provides a reasonable way to approximate the objective functional and incorporate the boundary conditions. With the transformation of optimal control problems into nonlinear optimization problems, all the benefits of path-fitted variational integrators are inherited by the presented methodology, mainly expressed in giving more faithful optimizations and thus more accurate solutions, providing greater possibility of global optimality, as well as conserving computed control efforts.

Numerous methods for stability determination of a given DDE exist in the literature. However, in practical scenarios it may be beneficial to be able to determine the stability of a delayed system based solely on its response to given inputs, without the need to consider the underlying governing DDE. In this work we propose such a data-driven method, assuming only three things about the underlying DDE: (i) it is linear, (ii) its coefficients are either constant or time-periodic with a known fundamental period, and (iii) the largest delay is known. Our approach involves giving the first few functions of an orthonormal polynomial basis as input, and measuring/computing the corresponding responses to generate a state transition matrix M, whose largest eigenvalue determines the stability. We demonstrate the correctness, efficacy and convergence of our method by studying four candidate DDEs with differing features. We show that our approach is robust to noise, thereby establishing its suitability for practical applications, wherein measurement errors are unavoidable.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"5 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139009310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the movement process of the robot, motor bearing bears a great impact due to the frequent movement of joints, which is easily damaged. The fault characteristic information of a bearing in these complex conditions shows strong non-stationary features. Early non-stationary fault signals are often weak and submerged in background noise. The non-stationary signal processing method using computed order analysis and the weak signal enhancement method using adaptive stochastic resonance both show good performances for the above problems. Inspired by these, a hybrid diagnosis strategy for motor bearing under these speed conditions is proposed. Firstly, the non-stationary fault signals of the motor bearing are transformed into stationary angular signals via computed order analysis. Then, the fault modes are identified via resonance demodulation and variational mode decomposition in the order spectrum. Finally, adaptive stochastic resonance is used to extract the fault features reflecting the bearing operation state. Two types of typical speed conditions are considered, which is representative at the joint. Numerical simulation analysis and experiments verify the effectiveness of the diagnosis method.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"3 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139006512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conform map is calculated by solving a pair of Laplace equations on a fine Delauney triangular mesh of the surface, which is numerically robust, and the map is harmonic and subsequently C∞ smooth, such that all the evaluations and spatial derivatives required by high accuracy methods at the regular nodes can be accurately and efficiently calculated.

The impact of varying the pendulum length parameter on power harvesting, ride comfort (sprung mass acceleration), and road handling is investigated. It is discovered that P-bifurcation of the probability density function (PDF), can simultaneously occur with enhanced output power (40% improvements), low sprung mass acceleration (60% improvements), and better road handling (60% improvements) when compared with the linear benchmark system. To predict this bifurcation, a Wiener path integration (WPI) method coupled with curvature checking is developed for the PDF. An efficient bifurcation detection algorithm is developed which leads to the prediction of monomodal, bimodal, and rotation PDF regions in the noise intensity-electrical damping plane. Using Monte Carlo simulations (MCS), the performance metrics were then compared against the optimal linear benchmark for varying driving speed on a class F road while varying the electrical damping so that the system is at or near P-bifurcation. Energy transfer into the electrical domain and power harvested is shown to be up to 43% and 20% higher than for the optimized linear system, respectively. Electrical efficiency considerations show that generator selection is also a factor. Ride comfort and road handling still saw improvements of at least 59%. Finally, the new algorithm effectively reduces an exhaustive MCS for various parameter configurations when qualitative changes in the PDF are linked to performance.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138590253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The developed neural network-based control strategy is able to globally stabilize the robot manipulator and cope with model uncertainties and the external unknown bounded disturbances. Different from the existing literature, by using the sliding mode technology and the singular perturbation theory, the developed control strategy does not require the high-order derivatives of the link states such as jerk and acceleration since the high-order derivative information is not always available in practical applications. By using Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the proposed neural network-based control strategy can guarantee that all the parameter variables in the closed-loop system are bounded, and the flexible-joint robot manipulator with unknown dynamics can reach inside the dynamic region and also maintain the velocity matching with the desired moving region. Since the assumption of linearization of the unknown dynamic parameters is removed, the proposed control strategy does not require the calculation of the complex regression matrix. Therefore, the proposed method has great robustness and the ability of model generalization.

Low-speed driving has become more prevalent, leading to more frequent instances of starting and braking. Consequently, the issue of low-speed braking flutter has become increasingly prominent.While the brake is in an open environment, the dust and particles in the air and the debris generated by the brake itself will have an impact on the braking behavior. In addition, according to the theory of modal coupling, the braking stability of the vehicle is also affected by other components. In this paper, different dynamic torsional models of braking system are established according to different braking conditions. Through numerical calculation, the influence of tire parameters, road conditions and particles on the friction dynamics characteristics of braking system pairs is explored. The results show that the instability of the brake pair system often occurs at low speed. Different tire slip ratio, tire offset factors and road conditions will lead to different relative motions of the braking system, but the existence of particles in the brake lining-disc interface can enhance the motion stability of the system.","PeriodicalId":54858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics","volume":"48 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
