Continuous improvements in the accuracy of surface mass loading products, performance of Earth models, and precise data-processing technologies have significantly advanced research on the effects of environmental loading on nonlinear variations in GNSS coordinate time series. However, owing to theoretical limitations, the lack of high spatiotemporal resolution surface mass observations, and the coupling of GNSS technology-related systematic errors, environmental loading and nonlinear GNSS reference station displacements remain inconsistent. The applicability and capability of these loading products across different regions also require further evaluation. This paper outlines methods for modeling environmental loading, surface mass loading products, and service organizations. In addition, it summarizes recent advances in applying environmental loading to address nonlinear variations in global and regional GNSS coordinate time series. Moreover, the scientific questions of existing studies are summarized, and insights into future research directions are provided. The complex nonlinear motion of reference stations is a major factor limiting the accuracy of the current terrestrial reference frame. Further refining the environmental load modeling method, establishing a surface mass distribution model with high spatiotemporal resolution and reliability, exploring other environmental load factors such as ice sheet and artificial mass-change effects, and developing an optimal data-processing model and strategy for reprocessing global reference station data consistently could contribute to the development of a millimeter-level nonlinear motion model for GNSS reference stations with actual physical significance and provide theoretical support for establishing a terrestrial reference frame with 1 mm accuracy by 2050.展开更多

Firstly, a prediction model is obtained using the broad learning technique to train historical data generated by the system offline without DoS attacks. Secondly, the dynamic linearization method is used to obtain the equivalent linearization model of NMASs. Then, a novel model-free adaptive predictive control(MFAPC) framework based on historical and online data generated by the system is proposed, which combines the trained prediction model with the model-free adaptive control method. The development of the MFAPC method motivates a much simpler robust predictive control solution that is convenient to use in the case of DoS attacks. Meanwhile, the MFAPC algorithm provides a unified predictive framework for solving consensus tracking and containment control problems. The boundedness of the containment error can be proven by using the contraction mapping principle and the mathematical induction method. Finally, the proposed MFAPC is assessed through comparative experiments.展开更多

文摘Investigating the combined effects of mining damage and creep damage on slope stability is crucial,as it can comprehensively reveal the non-linear deformation characteristics of rock under their joint influence.This study develops a fractional-order nonlinear creep constitutive model that incorporates the double damage effect and implements a non-linear creep subroutine for soft rock using the threedimensional finite difference method on the FLAC3D platform.Comparative analysis of the theoretical,numerical,and experimental results reveals that the fractional-order constitutive model,which incorporates the double damage effect,accurately reflects the distinct deformation stages of green mudstone during creep failure and effectively captures the non-linear deformation in the accelerated creep phase.The numerical results show a fitting accuracy exceeding 97%with the creep test curves,significantly outperforming the 61%accuracy of traditional creep models.

文摘Data-driven reduced-order modeling opens new avenues of understanding,predicting,controlling,and optimizing system behavior.Simple systems may have state spaces in which sparse human-interpretable dynamical systems can be identified.This approach has been pioneered by Brunton et al.(2016,PNAS)with sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics.Complex systems,however,cannot be expected to benefit from such simple analytical descriptions.Yet,smoothness may be exploited by analytical local descriptions.In this paper,we identify a clusterwise polynomial dynamics from time-resolved snapshot data.The full state space is partitioned into clusters with a reduced-order polynomial description for each cluster and a global patching strategy.The resulting clusterwise modeling is entirely data-driven and requires no prior knowledge of the system dynamics.We illustrate the approach on the well-known chaotic Lorenz and Rössler systems,on the more challenging chaotic fluid flow dynamics of higher state-space dimensions,on a noisy electrocardiogram signal,and finally on the time evolution of the monthly sunspot number.Clusterwise modeling offers a powerful and interpretable paradigm for dynamical modeling.Nonlinear dynamics can be approximated by assembling many simple local models of different resolutions,opening new paths to understand and control intricate nonlinearities.

文摘An optimal fuzzy tracking synthesis for nonlinear discrete-time descriptor systems is discussed through the Parallel Distributed Compensation(PDC)approach and the Proportional-Difference(P-D)feedback framework.Based on the Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Descriptor Model(T-SFDM),a nonlinear discrete-time descriptor system is represented as several linear fuzzy subsystems,which facilitates the linear P-D feedback technique and streamlines the fuzzy controller design process.Leveraging the P-D feedback fuzzy controller,the closed-loop T-SFDM can be transformed into a standard system that guarantees non-impulsiveness and causality for the nonlinear discrete-time descriptor system.In view of the disturbance problems,a passive performance constraint is incorporated into the fuzzy tracking synthesis to achieve dissipativity of disturbance energy.To achieve a better balance between state and control responses,the H2 performance requirement is considered and a minimization constraint is applied to optimize the H2 index.It is observed that there is a lack of research focusing on both disturbance and control input issues in nonlinear descriptor systems.Extending the Lyapunov theory,a stability analysis method is proposed for the tracking purpose with the combination of the free-weighting matrix to relax the analysis process while complying multiple performance constraints.Finally,two simulation examples are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed approach in practical control scenarios for nonlinear descriptor systems.

文摘Nonlinear variations in the coordinate time series of global navigation satellite system(GNSS) reference stations are strongly correlated with surface displacements caused by environmental loading effects,including atmospheric, hydrological, and nontidal ocean loading. Continuous improvements in the accuracy of surface mass loading products, performance of Earth models, and precise data-processing technologies have significantly advanced research on the effects of environmental loading on nonlinear variations in GNSS coordinate time series. However, owing to theoretical limitations, the lack of high spatiotemporal resolution surface mass observations, and the coupling of GNSS technology-related systematic errors, environmental loading and nonlinear GNSS reference station displacements remain inconsistent. The applicability and capability of these loading products across different regions also require further evaluation. This paper outlines methods for modeling environmental loading, surface mass loading products, and service organizations. In addition, it summarizes recent advances in applying environmental loading to address nonlinear variations in global and regional GNSS coordinate time series. Moreover, the scientific questions of existing studies are summarized, and insights into future research directions are provided. The complex nonlinear motion of reference stations is a major factor limiting the accuracy of the current terrestrial reference frame. Further refining the environmental load modeling method, establishing a surface mass distribution model with high spatiotemporal resolution and reliability, exploring other environmental load factors such as ice sheet and artificial mass-change effects, and developing an optimal data-processing model and strategy for reprocessing global reference station data consistently could contribute to the development of a millimeter-level nonlinear motion model for GNSS reference stations with actual physical significance and provide theoretical support for establishing a terrestrial reference frame with 1 mm accuracy by 2050.

文摘During strike-slip fault dislocation,multiple fault planes are commonly observed.The resulting permanent ground deformation can lead to profound structural damage to tunnels.However,existing analytical models do not consider multiple fault planes.Instead,they concentrate the entire fault displacement onto a single fault plane for analysis,thereby giving rise to notable errors in the calculated results.To address this issue,a refined nonlinear theoretical model was established to analyze the mechanical responses of the tunnels subjected to multiple strike-slip fault dislocations.The analytical model considers the number of fault planes,nonlinear soil‒tunnel interactions,geometric nonlinearity,and fault zone width,leading to a significant improvement in its range of applicability and calculation accuracy.The results of the analytical model are in agreement,both qualitatively and quantitatively,with the model test and numerical results.Then,based on the proposed theoretical model,a sensitivity analysis of parameters was conducted,focusing on the variables such as the number of fault planes,fault plane distance(d),fault displacement ratio(η),burial depth(C),crossing angle(β),tunnel diameter(D),fault zone width(Wf),and strike-slip fault displacement(Δfs).The results show that the peak shear force(Vmax),bending moment(Mmax),and axial force(Nmax)decrease with increasing d.The Vmax of the tunnel is found at the fault plane with the largest fault displacement.C,D,andΔfs contribute to the increases in Vmax,Mmax,and Nmax.Additionally,increasing the number of fault planes reduces Vmax and Mmax,whereas the variation in Nmax remains minimal.

文摘In this study,we used an extensive sampling network established in central Romania to develop tree height and crown length models.Our analysis included more than 18,000 tree measurements from five different species.Instead of building univariate models for each response variable,we employed a multivariate approach using seemingly unrelated mixed-effects models.These models incorporated variables related to species mixture,tree and stand size,competition,and stand structure.With the inclusion of additional variables in the multivariate seemingly unrelated mixed-effects models,the accuracy of the height prediction models improved by over 10% for all species,whereas the improvement in the crown length models was considerably smaller.Our findings indicate that trees in mixed stands tend to have shorter heights but longer crowns than those in pure stands.We also observed that trees in homogeneous stand structures have shorter crown lengths than those in heterogeneous stands.By employing a multivariate mixed-effects modelling framework,we were able to perform cross-model random-effect predictions,leading to a significant increase in accuracy when both responses were used to calibrate the model.In contrast,the improvement in accuracy was marginal when only height was used for calibration.We demonstrate how multivariate mixed-effects models can be effectively used to develop multi-response allometric models that can be easily calibrated with a limited number of observations while simultaneously achieving better-aligned projections.

文摘In regions characterized with great mining depths,complex topography,and intense geological activities,solely relying on lateral pressure coefficients or linear boundary conditions for predicting the in situ stress field of rock bodies can induce substantial deviations and limitations.This study focuses on a typical karst area in Southwest Guizhou,China as its research background.It employs a hybrid approach integrating machine learning,numerical simulations,and field experiments to develop an optimization algorithm for nonlinear prediction of the complex three-dimensional(3D)in situ stress fields.Through collecting and fitting analysis of in situ stress measurement data from the karst region,the distributions of in situ stresses with depth were identified with nonlinear boundary conditions.A prediction model for in situ stress was then established based on artificial neural network(ANN)and genetic algorithm(GA)approach,validated in the typical karst landscape mine,Jinfeng Gold Mine.The results demonstrate that the model's predictions align well with actual measurements,showcasing consistency and regularity.Specifically,the error between the predicted and actual values of the maximum horizontal principal stress was the smallest,with an absolute error 0.01-3 MPa and a relative error of 0.04-15.31%.This model accurately and effectively predicts in situ stresses in complex geological areas.

文摘With the continuous evolution of urban surface types,the impact of the urban heat island effect on the human population has intensified.Investigating the factors influencing urban thermal environments is crucial for providing theoretical support to urban planning and decision-making.In this study,Shenyang was selected to comprehensively analyse multiple factors,including topography,human activity,vegetation and landscape.Moreover,we used the random forest algorithm to explore nonlinear factors influencing land surface temperature(LST)over four years in the study area.The results revealed that from 2005 to 2020,the total areas with sub-high and high-temperature zones in northern Shenyang steadily increased.The area ratio of these zones increased from 20.18% in 2005 to 24.86% in 2020.Additionally,significant and strong correlations were observed between LST and variables such as the enhanced vegetation index(EVI),normalised difference vegetation index(NDVI),population density,proportion of cropland and proportion of impervious land.In 2010,proportion of impervious land exhibited the strongest correlation with LST at the 5 km scale,reaching 0.852(p<0.01).The 4 km grid scale was identified as the optimal grid size for this study,while the 2 km grid performed the worst.In 2020,NDVI emerged as the most significant factor influencing LST.These findings provide valuable guidance for improving urban planning and developing sustainable strategies.

文摘Designing,modeling,and analyzing novel nonlinear elastic elements for the nonlinear energy sink(NES)have long been an attractive research topic.Since gravity is difficult to overcome,previous NES research mainly focused on horizontal vibration suppression.This study proposes an origami-inspired NES.A stacked Miura-origami(SMO)structure,consisting of two Miura-ori sheets,is adopted to construct a nonlinear elastic element.By adjusting the initial angle and the connecting crease torsional stiffness,the quasi-zero stiffness(QZS)and load-bearing capacity can be customized to match the corresponding mass,establishing the vertical SMO-NES.The dynamic model of the SMO-NES coupled with a linear oscillator(LO)is derived for vibrations in the vertical direction.The approximate analytical solutions of the dynamic equation are obtained by the harmonic balance method(HBM),and the solutions are verified numerically.The parameter design principle of the SMO-NES is provided.Finally,the vibration reduction performance of the SMO-NES is studied.The results show that the proposed SMONES can overcome gravity and achieve quasi-zero nonlinear restoring force.Therefore,the SMO-NES has the ability of wide-frequency vibration reduction,and can effectively suppress vertical vibrations.By adjusting the initial angle and connecting the crease torsional stiffness of the SMO,the SMO-NES can be achieved with different loading weights,effectively suppressing the vibrations with different primary system masses and excitation amplitudes.In conclusion,with the help of popular origami structures,this study proposes a novel NES,and starts the research of combining origami and NES.

文摘This work presents a nonlinear integral-ameliorated model for handling dynamic optimization problems with affine constraints.They pose a challenge as their optimal solutions evolve with time.Traditional iteration-based methods that exactly solve the problem at each time instant,fail to precisely and realtime track the solution due to computational and communication bottlenecks.Our model,through rigorous theoretical analyses,is able to reduce the optimality gap(i.e.,the difference between the model state and optimal solution)to zero in a finite time,and thus,track the solution online.Besides,perturbance is taken into account.We prove that under certain conditions,our model can totally tolerate an important kind of noise that we call“errorrelated noise”.In numerical experiments,compared with six existing methods,our model exhibits superior robustness when contaminated by the error-related noise.The key techniques in the model design involve employing the zeroing neural network to leverage time-derivative information,and introducing an integral term as well as the class C_(L)^(0)functions to enhance convergence and noise resistance.Finally,we establish a model-free control framework for a surgical manipulator with the remote-center-of-motion constraint and compare the performances of the framework based on different models in simulations.The results indicate that our model achieves the best performance among various models employed within the framework.

文摘In this paper, the containment control problem in nonlinear multi-agent systems(NMASs) under denial-of-service(DoS) attacks is addressed. Firstly, a prediction model is obtained using the broad learning technique to train historical data generated by the system offline without DoS attacks. Secondly, the dynamic linearization method is used to obtain the equivalent linearization model of NMASs. Then, a novel model-free adaptive predictive control(MFAPC) framework based on historical and online data generated by the system is proposed, which combines the trained prediction model with the model-free adaptive control method. The development of the MFAPC method motivates a much simpler robust predictive control solution that is convenient to use in the case of DoS attacks. Meanwhile, the MFAPC algorithm provides a unified predictive framework for solving consensus tracking and containment control problems. The boundedness of the containment error can be proven by using the contraction mapping principle and the mathematical induction method. Finally, the proposed MFAPC is assessed through comparative experiments.
