The structure and operation principle commonality of normal TAFA FSM were investigated. Based on the structure and the commonality, the conditions of single-axis idea, high-frequency resonance and coupling were modeled gradually. Combining these models, a holonomic system model was established to reflect and predict the performance of TAFA FSM. A model-based design method was proposed based on the holonomic system model. The design flow and design concept of the method were described. In accordance with the method, a TAFA FSM was designed. Simulations and experiments of the FSM were done, and the results of them were compared. The compared results indicate that the holonomic system model can well reflect and predict the performance of TAFA FSM. The bandwidth of TAFA FSM is more than 250 Hz; adjust time is less than 15 ms;overshoot is less than 8%; position accuracy is better than 10 μrad; the FSM prototype can satisfy the requirements.展开更多

This can cause significant financial losses, or in the pharmaceutical industry, it can result in an unusable batch. In these industries, batch reactors are commonly used, the control of which is essentially a problem of temperature control. In the industry, an increasing number of heating-cooling systems utilising three different temperature levels can be found, which are advantageous from an economic point of view. However, it makes the control more complicated. This paper presents a split-range designing technique using the model of the controlled system with the aim to design a split-range algorithm more specific to the actual sys- tem. The algorithm described provides high control performance when using it with classical PID-based cascade temperature control of jacketed batch reactors;however, it can be used with or as part of other types of controllers, for ex- ample, model-based temperature controllers. The algorithm can be used in the case of systems where only two as well as where three temperature levels are used for temperature control. Besides the switching between the modes of opera- tion and calculating the value of the manipulated variable, one of the most important functions of the split-range algo- rithm is to keep the sign of the gain of the controlled system unchanged. However, with a more system-specific split-range solution, not only can the sign of the gain be kept unchanged, but the gain can also be constant or less de- pendent on the state of the system. Using this solution, the design of the PID controller becomes simpler and can be implemented in existing systems without serious changes.展开更多

文摘In response to concerns over the recent expansion of the scope and content of urban design and the potential for“loss of focus”,this study uses the comprehensive urban design of Pudong New Area as a case study,emphasizing a need to“refocus”urban design efforts.It traces the spatial evolution of Pudong New Area under national strategic guidance,addressing two primary issues from a“strategy-problem”perspective.Building on the link between municipal urban design and district-level master planning,the study proposes a key element system that integrates“significance,publicness,cultural relevance,and connectivity”and a control strategy based on unit typology and policy-guided zoning.By establishing a clear and concise district-level control framework focused on“element+scale”,the study aims to enhance Pudong’s modern spatial image and its holistic spatial order,reinforcing Pudong’s role as a“leading area for socialist modernization”.

文摘The large-aperture reflective cameras on the geostationary orbit are susceptible to significant temperature fluctuations due to the“Sun transit”effect.To address the shortcomings of existing thermal control measures using camera sunshades to suppress the“Sun transit”and the issue of excessively large solar avoidance angles determined solely by geometric relationships,a thermal control design method is proposed that involves adding multi-layer thermal protection at the secondary mirror position of the camera.The goal is to optimize the avoidance angle and enhance the camera’s tolerance to“Sun transit”.A heat balance and motion relationship between the avoidance angle and duration is established.Then,the minimum solar avoidance angle after adopting the multi-layer thermal protection design is calculated.This angle is compared with the one determined by geometric relationships,leading to the conclusion that this method can effectively enhance the camera’s tolerance to“Sun transit”.A heat dissipation scheme is proposed that involves a coupled north-south heat spreader design with low-temperature compensation for the internal heat source.The calculation results of the two avoidance angles are applied to the calculation of the heat dissipation area and low-temperature compensation power,achieving a closed-loop heat dissipation scheme.Puls,the superiority of the multi-layer thermal protection design method is demonstrated from the perspectives of heat dissipation area and low-temperature compensation power requirements.A comparative analysis of simulation analysis,thermal balance tests,and in-orbit temperature data further validates the effectiveness of this method.

文摘During the excavation and support process in deep soft rocks,complex conditions such as high stress and strong disturbance can be encountered.The complex conditions can cause failure of the support system.Aiming at stability control in deep soft rocks,we proposed the excavation compensation theory.A new high strength and high toughness material was developed.The breaking load and elongation of the new material are 1.59 and 1.78 times that of common bolt materials.To overcome the problem that the CABLE element in FLAC^(3D) cannot simulate failure of support structures,the numerical model for the whole process of force-breaking-anchorage failure simulation(FBAS)for bolts(cables)was established.The numerical experiments on the excavation compensation control of deep soft rock were carried out.The excavation compensation control mechanism of high strength and high toughness material was clarified.Compared with the common support scheme,the highly prestressed support has a maximum increase of 90.24%in radial stress compensation rate and a maximum increase of 67.85%in deformation control rate.The results illustrate the rationality of the excavation compensation theory.The compensation design method of excavations in deep soft rocks was proposed and applied in a deep soft rock chamber.The monitoring indicated that the maximum surrounding rock deformation is 180 mm,reduced by 64%compared to the common support.The deformation of the chamber was controlled and the surrounding rock was stable.
文摘In the manufacturing processes of high value-added products in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical polymer and food industry, insufficient control might produce off-grade products. This can cause significant financial losses, or in the pharmaceutical industry, it can result in an unusable batch. In these industries, batch reactors are commonly used, the control of which is essentially a problem of temperature control. In the industry, an increasing number of heating-cooling systems utilising three different temperature levels can be found, which are advantageous from an economic point of view. However, it makes the control more complicated. This paper presents a split-range designing technique using the model of the controlled system with the aim to design a split-range algorithm more specific to the actual sys- tem. The algorithm described provides high control performance when using it with classical PID-based cascade temperature control of jacketed batch reactors;however, it can be used with or as part of other types of controllers, for ex- ample, model-based temperature controllers. The algorithm can be used in the case of systems where only two as well as where three temperature levels are used for temperature control. Besides the switching between the modes of opera- tion and calculating the value of the manipulated variable, one of the most important functions of the split-range algo- rithm is to keep the sign of the gain of the controlled system unchanged. However, with a more system-specific split-range solution, not only can the sign of the gain be kept unchanged, but the gain can also be constant or less de- pendent on the state of the system. Using this solution, the design of the PID controller becomes simpler and can be implemented in existing systems without serious changes.

文摘In this paper,a hierarchical reinforcement learning(HRL)based real-time formation control approach is proposed for heterogeneous aerial-ground agents(HAGAs).Initially,to address the issue of imprecise modeling of HAGAs,a unified heterogeneous chained system model is constructed using the hand-position method.Subsequently,a hierarchical framework is designed:(1)To decouple multi-agent collaborative interactions and individual dynamic rules through hierarchical resolution,which enables controller design to be independent of direct reliance on neighborhood collaborative errors.(2)By adopting a dual-layer framework that separates collaborative topology management from individual control strategies,seamless switching between multiple task scenarios can be achieved simply by reconstructing the collaborative topology of the first layer.Moreover,to overcome the issue of non-asymptotic stability of tracking errors caused by the discount factor in traditional optimal control,a cost function based on the derivative of the tracking error is introduced.This not only addresses the error issue caused by the discount factor but also effectively resolves the problem of the unboundedness of the quadratic cost function.Finally,the efficacy of the proposed algorithm is substantiated through simulation experiments.
文摘This article proposes a novel approach combining exponential-reaching-law-based equivalent control law with radial basis function (RBF) network-based switching law to strengthen the sliding mode control (SMC) tracking capacity for systems with uncertainties and disturbances. First, SMC discrete equivalent control law is designed on the basis of the nominal model of the system and the adaptive exponential reaching law, and subsequently, stability of the algorithm is analyzed. Second, RBF network is used to f...
