The choice of friction models is a critical component in the identification of industrial robot dynamics. Traditional static friction models struggle to capture the hysteresis effects caused by robot joint elasticity and clearances, leading to large torque prediction errors when the joint velocity crosses zero. Due to the presence of hysteresis effects, the joint velocity crosses zero in the forward direction, and the reverse direction will have different friction patterns. Although the hysteresis effects can be modeled as an ordinary differential equation(ODE), it is difficult to determine the ODE structure that achieves both generalization and accuracy to describe the hysteresis effects of the friction model. To address this issue, we propose the neural hysteresis friction(NHF), which uses neural ODE to model the hysteresis effects in a data-driven manner, thereby mitigating the current inadequacies in the study of dynamic friction characteristics. The experiments on a real 6-axis industrial robot demonstrate that our proposed method can accurately model the friction dynamics during directional switching and outperform other modeling methods. Velocity tracking control experiments show that NHF can effectively reduce tracking errors when the velocity crosses zero.展开更多

However, these MIQ parameters are difficult to be directly measured online, and large-time delay exists in off-line analysis through laboratory sampling. Focusing on the practical challenge, a data-driven modeling method was presented for the prediction of MIQ using the improved muhivariable incremental random vector functional-link net- works （M-I-RVFLNs）. Compared with the conventional random vector functional-link networks （RVFLNs） and the online sequential RVFLNs, the M-I-RVFLNs have solved the problem of deciding the optimal number of hidden nodes and overcome the overfitting problems. Moreover, the proposed M I RVFLNs model has exhibited the potential for multivariable prediction of the MIQ and improved the terminal condition for the multiple-input multiple-out- put （MIMO） dynamic system, which is suitable for the BF ironmaking process in practice. Ultimately, industrial experiments and contrastive researches have been conducted on the BF No. 2 in Liuzhou Iron and Steel Group Co.

While traditional tools and linear models offer insights, they fall short in presenting a holistic view of complex urban challenges. System dynamics (SD) models that are often utilized to provide holistic, systematic understanding of a research subject, like the urban system, emerge as valuable tools, but data scarcity and theoretical inadequacy pose challenges. The research reviews relevant papers on recent SD model applications in urban sustainability since 2018, categorizing them based on nine key indicators. Among the reviewed papers, data limitations and model assumptions were identified as ma jor challenges in applying SD models to urban sustainability. This led to exploring the transformative potential of big data analytics, a rare approach in this field as identified by this study, to enhance SD models’ empirical foundation. Integrating big data could provide data-driven calibration, potentially improving predictive accuracy and reducing reliance on simplified assumptions. The paper concludes by advocating for new approaches that reduce assumptions and promote real-time applicable models, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of urban sustainability through the synergy of big data and SD models.展开更多

However, this task faces the challenges of complicated design shapes as well as cumbersome and cluttered annotations on drawings, which interfere with the vector extraction heavily. In this article, the transmission tower containing the most complex structure is taken as the research object, and a semantic segmentation network is constructed to first segment the shape masks from the pixel-level drawings. Preprocessing and postprocessing are also proposed to ensure the stability and accuracy of the shape mask segmentation. Then, based on the obtained shape masks, a vector extraction network guided by heatmaps is designed to extract structural vectors by fusing the features from node heatmap and skeleton heatmap, respectively. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, experiment results illustrate that the proposed semantic segmentation method can effectively eliminate the interference of many elements on drawings to segment the shape masks effectively, meanwhile, the model trained by the proposed vector extraction network can accurately extract the vectors such as nodes and line connections, avoiding redundant vector detection. The proposed method lays a solid foundation for automatic 3D model reconstruction and contributes to technological advancements in relevant fields.展开更多

This study conducted controlled experiments and developed a modified force-based model to investigate the dynamics of pedestrian counterflow at bottlenecks, utilizing subway passenger alighting and boarding as a case study. Specifically, the efficiency and safety of three distinct movement modes: the cooperative mode(Coop), the combination of cooperative and competitive mode(C & C), and the competitive mode(Comp), were examined and compared. The experimental findings revealed that the C & C mode exhibited a clear lane formation phenomenon and demonstrated a higher flow rate than the Comp and Coop modes. This observation suggests that a combination of cooperative and competitive behaviors among pedestrians can positively enhance traffic efficiency and safety during the alighting and boarding process. In contrast, pedestrians exhibited increased detouring in their paths and more fluctuating trajectories in the Comp mode. Additionally, a questionnaire survey assessing the level of competition and cooperation among pedestrians provided a comprehensive analysis of the psychological dynamics of passengers during the alighting and boarding activities. Lastly, the proposed force-based model was calibrated and validated, demonstrating a good performance in accurately replicating the overall characteristics of the experimental process. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into enhancing the pedestrian traffic efficiency and safety within subway systems.展开更多

文摘Vector winds play a crucial role in weather and climate,as well as the effective utilization of wind energy resources.However,limited research has been conducted on treating the wind field as a vector field in the evaluation of numerical weather prediction models.In this study,the authors treat vector winds as a whole by employing a vector field evaluation method,and evaluate the mesoscale model of the China Meteorological Administration(CMA-MESO)and ECMWF forecast,with reference to ERA5 reanalysis,in terms of multiple aspects of vector winds over eastern China in 2022.The results show that the ECMWF forecast is superior to CMA-MESO in predicting the spatial distribution and intensity of 10-m vector winds.Both models overestimate the wind speed in East China,and CMA-MESO overestimates the wind speed to a greater extent.The forecasting skill of the vector wind field in both models decreases with increasing lead time.The forecasting skill of CMA-MESO fluctuates more and decreases faster than that of the ECMWF forecast.There is a significant negative correlation between the model vector wind forecasting skill and terrain height.This study provides a scientific evaluation of the local application of vector wind forecasts of the CMA-MESO model and ECMWF forecast.

文摘This paper addresses urban sustainability challenges amid global urbanization, emphasizing the need for innova tive approaches aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. While traditional tools and linear models offer insights, they fall short in presenting a holistic view of complex urban challenges. System dynamics (SD) models that are often utilized to provide holistic, systematic understanding of a research subject, like the urban system, emerge as valuable tools, but data scarcity and theoretical inadequacy pose challenges. The research reviews relevant papers on recent SD model applications in urban sustainability since 2018, categorizing them based on nine key indicators. Among the reviewed papers, data limitations and model assumptions were identified as ma jor challenges in applying SD models to urban sustainability. This led to exploring the transformative potential of big data analytics, a rare approach in this field as identified by this study, to enhance SD models’ empirical foundation. Integrating big data could provide data-driven calibration, potentially improving predictive accuracy and reducing reliance on simplified assumptions. The paper concludes by advocating for new approaches that reduce assumptions and promote real-time applicable models, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of urban sustainability through the synergy of big data and SD models.

文摘Currently,there are a limited number of dynamic models available for braided composite plates with large overall motions,despite the incorporation of three-dimensional(3D)braided composites into rotating blade components.In this paper,a dynamic model of 3D 4-directional braided composite thin plates considering braiding directions is established.Based on Kirchhoff's plate assumptions,the displacement variables of the plate are expressed.By incorporating the braiding directions into the constitutive equation of the braided composites,the dynamic model of the plate considering braiding directions is obtained.The effects of the speeds,braiding directions,and braided angles on the responses of the plate with fixed-axis rotation and translational motion,respectively,are investigated.This paper presents a dynamic theory for calculating the deformation of 3D braided composite structures undergoing both translational and rotational motions.It also provides a simulation method for investigating the dynamic behavior of non-isotropic material plates in various applications.

文摘Various methods of tyre modelling are implemented from pure theoretical to empirical or semi-empirical models based on experimental results. A new way of representing tyre data obtained from measurements is presented via support vector machines （SVMs）. The feasibility of applying SVMs to steady-state tyre modelling is investigated by comparison with three-layer backpropagation （BP） neural network at pure slip and combined slip. The results indicate SVMs outperform the BP neural network in modelling the tyre characteristics with better generalization performance. The SVMsqyre is implemented in 8-DOF vehicle model for vehicle dynamics simulation by means of the PAC 2002 Magic Formula as reference. The SVMs-tyre can be a competitive and accurate method to model a tyre for vehicle dynamics simuLation.

文摘To reveal the deterioration mechanism of coal-rock assemblages under chemical corrosion and dynamic loading,chemical corrosion and dynamic impact experiments were conducted.Under different chemical corrosion conditions,the weakening characteristics,observable characteristics,softening characteristics of the dynamic parameters,dynamic failure characteristics,dynamic failure forms and dynamic microscopic characteristics were analyzed.Under each corrosion condition,the dynamic elastic modulus,dynamic deformation modulus and dynamic peak intensity tended to decrease with immersing time.The dynamic elastic modulus,dynamic deformation modulus and dynamic peak intensity exhibited an inverted U-shaped trend.Under dynamic impact,the failure process of acidly corroded samples can be divided into the following stages:the initial stage,elastic energy accumulation stage,local failure of coal and secondary rock crack expansion stage,coal fragment ejection stage,rock spalling stage and complete instability stage.Under dynamic impact,failure modes exist:coal crushing failure,rock fragmenting failure,rock splitting failure and full splitting failure.After impact failure,sample fragments are distributed in powder,granular,cone and block forms.Based on Zhu-Wang-Tang nonlinear viscoelastic properties,a model considering chemical corrosion and impact damage was proposed.The combined effects of chemical and impact-induced damage on the dynamic mechanical properties of coal-rock assemblages were systematically analyzed.
文摘Concrete materials are employed extensively in a variety of large-scale structures due to their economic viability and superior mechanical properties.During the service life of concrete structures,they are inevitably subjected to damage from impact loading from natural disasters,such as earthquakes and storms.In recent years,the phasefield model has demonstrated exceptional capability in predicting the stochastic initiation,propagation,and bifurcation of cracks in materials.This study employs a phase-field model to focus on the rate dependency and failure response of concrete under impact deformation.A viscosity coefficient is introduced within the phase-field model to characterize the viscous behavior of dynamic crack propagation in concrete.The rate-dependent cohesive strength is defined within the yield function of concrete,where the rate sensitivity of cohesive strength facilitates the accumulation of the plastic driving force in the phase-field model.This process effectively captures the impact failure response of concrete.The applicability of the model was validated through unit cell experiments and numerical simulations of concrete under impact compression.Furthermore,the mechanical response and damage evolution mechanisms of concrete under impact loading were analyzed.It was observed that crack propagation in concrete initiates at material defects and,with increasing load,eventually develops in a direction perpendicular to the loading axis.

文摘This paper presents a dynamic modeling method to test and examine the minimum mass of pressurized pore-gas for triggering landslides in stable gentle soil slopes.A stable gentle soil slope model is constructed with a dry cement powder core,a saturated clay middle layer,and a dry sand upper layer.The test injects H_(2)O_(2)solution into the cement core to produce new pore-gas.The model test includes three identical H_(2)O_(2)injections.The small mass of generated oxygen gas(0.07%of slope soil mass and landslide body)from the first injection can build sufficient pore-gas pressure to cause soil upheaval and slide.Meanwhile,despite the first injection causing leak paths in the clay layer,the generated small mass of gas from the second and third injections can further trigger the landslide.A dynamic theoretical analysis of the slope failure is carried out and the required minimum pore-gas pressure for the landslide is calculated.The mass and pressure of generated gas in the model test are also estimated based on the calibration test for oxygen generation from H_(2)O_(2)solution in cement powder.The results indicate that the minimum mass of the generated gas for triggering the landslide is 2 ppm to 0.07%of the landslide body.Furthermore,the small mass of gas can provide sufficient pressure to cause soil upheaval and soil sliding in dynamic analysis.

文摘Accurate vector extraction from design drawings is required first to automatically create 3D models from pixel-level engineering design drawings. However, this task faces the challenges of complicated design shapes as well as cumbersome and cluttered annotations on drawings, which interfere with the vector extraction heavily. In this article, the transmission tower containing the most complex structure is taken as the research object, and a semantic segmentation network is constructed to first segment the shape masks from the pixel-level drawings. Preprocessing and postprocessing are also proposed to ensure the stability and accuracy of the shape mask segmentation. Then, based on the obtained shape masks, a vector extraction network guided by heatmaps is designed to extract structural vectors by fusing the features from node heatmap and skeleton heatmap, respectively. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, experiment results illustrate that the proposed semantic segmentation method can effectively eliminate the interference of many elements on drawings to segment the shape masks effectively, meanwhile, the model trained by the proposed vector extraction network can accurately extract the vectors such as nodes and line connections, avoiding redundant vector detection. The proposed method lays a solid foundation for automatic 3D model reconstruction and contributes to technological advancements in relevant fields.

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The high-temperature deformation and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)behaviors of GH4698 superalloy were investigated via hot compression tests,and an improved unified dislocation density-based constitutive model was established.The results indicate that with the temperature decreasing or the strain rate increasing,the flow stress increases and the DRX fraction decreases.However,as the strain rate increases from 1 to 10 s^(-1),rapid dislocation multiplication and deformation heat accelerate the DRX nucleation,which further increases the DRX fraction.Discontinuous DRX nucleation is the dominant DRX nucleation mechanism,and continuous DRX nucleation mainly occurs under low strain rates.For the developed improved unified dislocation density-based constitutive model,the correlation coefficient,average absolute relative error,and root mean square error between the measured and predicted stresses are 0.994,7.32%and 10.8 MPa,respectively.Meanwhile,the correlation coefficient between the measured and predicted DRX fractions is 0.976.These indicate that the developed model exhibits high accuracy in predicting the high-temperature deformation and DRX behaviors of GH4698 superalloy.

文摘Efficiency and safety are paramount concerns for commuters, operators, and designers in subway stations. This study conducted controlled experiments and developed a modified force-based model to investigate the dynamics of pedestrian counterflow at bottlenecks, utilizing subway passenger alighting and boarding as a case study. Specifically, the efficiency and safety of three distinct movement modes: the cooperative mode(Coop), the combination of cooperative and competitive mode(C & C), and the competitive mode(Comp), were examined and compared. The experimental findings revealed that the C & C mode exhibited a clear lane formation phenomenon and demonstrated a higher flow rate than the Comp and Coop modes. This observation suggests that a combination of cooperative and competitive behaviors among pedestrians can positively enhance traffic efficiency and safety during the alighting and boarding process. In contrast, pedestrians exhibited increased detouring in their paths and more fluctuating trajectories in the Comp mode. Additionally, a questionnaire survey assessing the level of competition and cooperation among pedestrians provided a comprehensive analysis of the psychological dynamics of passengers during the alighting and boarding activities. Lastly, the proposed force-based model was calibrated and validated, demonstrating a good performance in accurately replicating the overall characteristics of the experimental process. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into enhancing the pedestrian traffic efficiency and safety within subway systems.

文摘Configuring computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulations typically demands extensive domain expertise,limiting broader access.Although large language models(LLMs)have advanced scientific computing,their use in automating CFD workflows is underdeveloped.We introduce a novel approach centered on domain-specific LLM adaptation.By fine-tuning Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct on NL2FOAM,our custom dataset of 28,716 natural language-to-OpenFOAM configuration pairs with chain-of-thought(CoT)annotations enables direct translation from natural language descriptions to executable CFD setups.A multi-agent system orchestrates the process,autonomously verifying inputs,generating configurations,running simulations,and correcting errors.Evaluation on a benchmark of 21 diverse flow cases demonstrates state-of-the-art performance,achieving 88.7%solution accuracy and 82.6%first-attempt success rate.This significantly outperforms larger general-purpose models such as Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct,DeepSeek-R1,and Llama3.3-70B-Instruct,while also requiring fewer correction iterations and maintaining high computational efficiency.The results highlight the critical role of domain-specific adaptation in deploying LLM assistants for complex engineering workflows.Our code and fine-tuned model have been deposited at https://github.com/YYgroup/AutoCFD.

文摘As a common fault of the aero-engine,the blade-casing rubbing(BCR)has the potential to cause catastrophic accidents.In this paper,to investigate the dynamic responses and wear characteristics of the system,the laminated shell element is used to establish the finite element model(FEM)of a flexibly coated casing system.Using the shell element,the blade is modeled,and the surface stress of the blade is calculated.The stress-solving method of the blade is validated through comparisons with the measured time-domain waveform of the stress.Then,a dynamic model of a blade-flexibly coated casing system with rubbing is proposed,accounting for the time-varying mass and stiffness of the casing caused by coating wear.The effects of the proposed flexible casing model are compared with those of a rigid casing model,and the stress changes induced by rubbing are investigated.The results show that the natural characteristics of the coated casing decrease due to the coating wear.The flexibly coated casing model is found to be more suitable for studying casing vibration.Additionally,the stress changes caused by rubbing are slight,and the change in the stress maximum is approximately 5%under the influence of the abrasive coating.
