The PPC model is widely used in multifactor cluster and evaluation analysis, but there are a few prob-lems needed to be solved in practice, such as cutoff radius parameter calibration. In this study, a new model-projection pursuit dynamic cluster (PPDC) model-based on projection pursuit principle is developed and used in water resources carrying capacity evaluation in China for the first time. In the PPDC model, there are two improvements compared with the PPC model, 1) a new projection index is constructed based on dynamic cluster principle, which avoids the problem of parameter calibration in the PPC model success-fully;2) the cluster results can be outputted directly according to the PPDC model, but the cluster results can be got based on the scatter points of projected characteristic values or the re-analysis for projected character-istic values in the PPC model. The results show that the PPDC model is a very effective and powerful tool in multifactor data exploratory analysis. It is a new method for water resources carrying capacity evaluation. The PPDC model and its application to water resources carrying capacity evaluation are introduced in detail in this paper.展开更多

In this numerical model, the stiffness degradation in tension for concrete was considered on the basis of the continuum isotropic damage theory. Natural vibration frequencies of the damaged and undamaged structures were compared after static water pressure was applied. Then a study was further conducted on forced vibration of the powerhouse with pre-existing damages under pressure fluctuation that acts on the flow passage; displacement, velocity and acceleration of the important structural members were afterwards presented and checked. Numerical results show that tensile damages in concrete surrounding the spiral case only exert significant impact upon the dynamic characteristics of substructure but show little effect on the superstructure. Nevertheless vibrations of the powerhouse are still under the recommended vibration limits.展开更多

The number and scale of construction projects are also continuing to climb, which makes the competitive environment of the construction market more brutal, and the challenges facing construction enterprises are more severe. Construction project cost, as the core key to improve the economic income of enterprises, the relevant personnel need to pay great attention to it. Only by improving the overall quality of the dynamic management and control of the construction project cost, can the vital interests of the enterprise be effectively guaranteed and the core competitiveness of the enterprise be further improved. In view of this, this paper will take the common problems in the dynamic management and control of the construction project cost as the entry point to analyze and explore the feasible cost dynamic control measures.展开更多

In particular, we consider three versions of DPD, the empirical/classical DPD, coarse-grained （CG） DPD with radial-direction interactions only and full （radial, transversal, and rotational） interactions between particles. To fa- cilitate quantitative discussions, we consider specifically a star-polymer melt system at a moderate density. For bonded molecules, it is straightforward to define the CG variables and to further derive CG force fields for DPD within the framework of the Mori-Zwanzig formalism. For both transversal and longitudinal current correlation functions （TCCFs and LCCFs）, we observe that results of MD, DPD, and hydrodynamic solutions agree with each other at the continuum limit. Below the continuum limit to certain length scales, results of MD deviate significantly from hydrodynamic solutions, whereas results of both empirical and CG DPD resemble those of MD. This indicates that the DPD method with Markovian force laws possibly has a larger applicability than the continuum description of a Newtonian fluid. This is worth being explored further to represent gen- eralized hydrodynamics.展开更多

The system is analyzed in the state space with an introduction of a distance definition which can be used to describe the distance between the full system and the reduced system, and the solution of the full system is then projected onto the complete space spanned by the eigenvectors of the linear operator of the governing equations. As a result, the influence of mode series truncation on the long-term behaviours and the error estimate are derived, showing that the error is dependent on the first products of frequencies and damping ratios in the subspace spanned by the eigenvectors with higher modal damping. Furthermore, the fundamental understanding for the topological change of the solution due to the application of different model reduction is interpreted in a mathematically precise way, using the qualitative theory of nonlinear dynamics.展开更多

The disturbance rejection strategy, which combines the inverse dynamics control with the acceleration projection onto the ZMP (zero moment point)-plane, can ensure the overall dynamic stability of the robot during tracking the pre-computed trajectories. Under normal conditions, i.e., the system is dynamically balanced, a primary inverse dynamics control is utilized. In the case that the system becomes unbalanced due to external disturbances, the acceleration projection control (APC) loop, will be activated to keep the dynamic stability of the walking robot through modifying the input torques. The preliminary experimental results on a robot leg demonstrate that the proposed method can actually make the robot keep a stable motion under unknown external perturbations.展开更多

文摘From viewpoint of nonlinear dynamics, the model reduction and its influence on the long-term behaviours of a class of nonlinear dissipative autonomous dynamical system with higher dimension are investigated theoretically under some assumptions. The system is analyzed in the state space with an introduction of a distance definition which can be used to describe the distance between the full system and the reduced system, and the solution of the full system is then projected onto the complete space spanned by the eigenvectors of the linear operator of the governing equations. As a result, the influence of mode series truncation on the long-term behaviours and the error estimate are derived, showing that the error is dependent on the first products of frequencies and damping ratios in the subspace spanned by the eigenvectors with higher modal damping. Furthermore, the fundamental understanding for the topological change of the solution due to the application of different model reduction is interpreted in a mathematically precise way, using the qualitative theory of nonlinear dynamics.

文摘A new pressure Poisson equation method with viscous terms is established on staggered grids. The derivations show that the newly established pressure equation has the identical equation form in the projection method. The results show that the two methods have the same velocity and pressure values except slight differences in the CPU time.
文摘The solution of the dynamic problem of multibody systems subject to rheonomic and nonholonomic constraints is achieved by applying singular value decomposition of the constraint matrix and projections of the dynamic equations of the systems along the feasible and unfeasible directions of the constraints. Formula to solve the constraint reaction forces and a method to avoid the violation of the constraints are also given.The solution does not rely on coordinates used to describe the systems and is computational efficitive example is finally presnted.
文摘This paper presents a disturbance rejection scheme for walking robots under unknown external forces and moments. The disturbance rejection strategy, which combines the inverse dynamics control with the acceleration projection onto the ZMP (zero moment point)-plane, can ensure the overall dynamic stability of the robot during tracking the pre-computed trajectories. Under normal conditions, i.e., the system is dynamically balanced, a primary inverse dynamics control is utilized. In the case that the system becomes unbalanced due to external disturbances, the acceleration projection control (APC) loop, will be activated to keep the dynamic stability of the walking robot through modifying the input torques. The preliminary experimental results on a robot leg demonstrate that the proposed method can actually make the robot keep a stable motion under unknown external perturbations.
