By contrast to the asymptotic stability,the finite-time stability possesses the better control performance and disturbance rejection property. Different from the finite-time stability, the fixed-time stability has a faster convergence speed and the upper bound of the settling time can be estimated. Moreover, the convergent time does not rely on the initial information.This work aims at presenting an overview of the finite/fixed-time stabilization and tracking control and its applications in engineering systems. Firstly, several fundamental definitions on the finite/fixed-time stability are recalled. Then, the research results on the finite/fixed-time stabilization and tracking control are reviewed in detail and categorized via diverse input signal structures and engineering applications. Finally, some challenging problems needed to be solved are presented.展开更多

Contravariant second Piola-Kirchhoff stress and moment tensors, in conjunction with finite deformation measures derived by the authors in recent paper, are utilized in deriving the conservation and balance laws and the constitutive theories based on conjugate pairs in entropy inequality and the representation theorem. This nonlinear MPNCCT for TVES with rheology: 1) incorporates nonlinear ordered rate dissipation mechanism based on Green’s strain rates up to order n;2) also incorporates an additional ordered rate dissipation mechanism due to microconstituents, the viscosity of the medium and the rates of the symmetric part of the rotation gradient (of cΘ) tensor up to order n, referred to as micropolar dissipation or micropolar viscous dissipation mechanism;3) incorporates the primary mechanism of memory or rheology due to long chain molecules of the polymer and the viscosity of the medium by using the contravaraint second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor and its rates up to order m, resulting in a relaxation spectrum;4) incorporates second mechanism of memory or rheology due to nonclassical physics, interaction of microconstituents with the viscous medium and long chain molecules by considering rates of the contravariant second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor up to order m, resulting in relaxation of second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor. This results in another relaxation spectrum for the second Piola-Kirchhoff moment tensor due to microconstituents, referred to as micropolar relaxation spectrum consisting of micropolar relaxation time constants of the material. This nonlinear MPNCCT for TVES with memory is thermodynamically and mathematically consistent, and the mathematical model consisting of conservation and balance laws and the constitutive theories has closure and naturally reduces to linear MPNCCT based on infinitesimal deformation assumption. BMM is the essential balance law for all MPNCCT and is used in the present work as well. In the absence of this balance law, a valid thermodynamically and mathematically consistent nonlinear MPNCCT is not possible. The nonlinear MPNCCT based on rotations (cΘ+αΘ) and αΘ(ignoring cΘ) is not considered due to the fact that even the linear MPNCCT based on these rotations is invalid and is thermodynamically and mathematically inconsistent MPNCCT.展开更多

Methods: A finite element model was constructed after extracting the mandibular first premolar, and a long-arm bracket with a traction height of 6 mm was placed on the labial side of the mandibular canine. Three working conditions of 50 g, 100 g, and 150 g were simulated, and the magnitude and distribution of von Mises stress in the periodontal ligament were compared for each condition. Results: The maximum von Mises stress in the periodontal ligament was 0.013281 MPa in the 50 g condition, 0.02536 MPa in the 100 g condition, and 0.035549 MPa in the 150 g condition. As the orthodontic force increased, the stress distribution area in the periodontal ligament also expanded. Conclusion: A 100 g orthodontic force is the most suitable when using long-arm brackets, providing a relatively uniform stress distribution in the periodontal ligament and keeping the stress within a reasonable range.展开更多

A coopera-tive guidance model is proposed, transforming the cooperative interception problem into a consensus problem based on the remaining flight time of the flight vehicles. First, the impact angle constraint is converted into the line of sight (LOS) angle con-straint, and a new fixed-time convergent non-singular terminal sliding surface is introduced, which resolves the singularity issue of the traditional sliding surfaces. With this approach, LOS angle rate and normal overloads can converge in fixed time, ensuring that the upper bound of the system convergence time is not affected by the initial value of the system. Furthermore, the maneuvering movement of the target is considered as a system disturbance, and an extended state observer is employed to estimate and compensate for it in the guidance law. Lastly, by applying consensus theory and distributed communication topology, the remaining flight time of each flight vehicle is syn-chronized to ensure that they intercept the target simulta-neously with different impact angles. Simulation experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed cooper-ative interception and guidance method.展开更多

The targets of the paper are to study the problem of periodic solutions and fixed-time (FXT) stabilization of the addressed neural networks. In order to complete the targets, based on set-valued map, differential inclusions theory, coincidence theorem and Hölder inequality technique, some new proportional delay-dependent criteria shown by the inequalities are derived. Based on the fact of the existence of solution, further by applying the FXT stability lemmas and equivalent transformation, the zero solution of closed-loop system achieves FXT stabilization and the corresponding settling-times are estimated. Some previous related works on NTNNs are extended. Finally, one typical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the established results.展开更多

The primary objective is to devise controllers for each agent, enabling them to precisely track the average of multiple time-varying reference signals. By averaging these signals, we can mitigate the influence of errors and uncertainties arising dur-ing measurements, thereby enhancing the robustness and stabi-lity of the system. A distributed fixed-time average estimator is proposed to estimate the average value of global reference sig-nals utilizing local information and communication with neigh-bors. Subsequently, a fixed-time sliding mode controller is intro-duced incorporating a state-dependent sliding mode function coupled with a variable exponent coefficient to achieve dis-tributed average tracking of reference signals, and rigorous ana-lytical methods are employed to substantiate the fixed-time sta-bility. Finally, numerical simulation results are provided to vali-date the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, offering insights into its practical application and robust performance.展开更多

Previous analyses have predominantly focused on the effects of varying initial conditions on blast dynamics. In contrast, this study investigates the primary shock wave evolution within different ambient gases, demonstrating the critical dependence on the initial density ratio between the blast sphere and the ambient medium, as well as the ambient density profile. We derive new scaling laws based on the density ratio, which accurately predict the dimensionless main shock distance. Furthermore, we systematically examine, for the first time, the conditions for uniform volume expansion, uniform surface area growth, and uniform shock wave propagation in power-law density media, revealing a key scaling relation associated with the power-law exponent. Numerical simulations validate these novel theoretical predictions, demonstrating excellent agreement with the normalized solutions. These findings provide new insights into blast wave dynamics in inhomogeneous media and have implications for astrophysical and laboratory plasma environments.展开更多

文摘Objective: To compare the stress distribution in the periodontal ligament under different orthodontic forces during canine distalization using long-arm brackets, and to determine the optimal force value for this device in orthodontic treatment. Methods: A finite element model was constructed after extracting the mandibular first premolar, and a long-arm bracket with a traction height of 6 mm was placed on the labial side of the mandibular canine. Three working conditions of 50 g, 100 g, and 150 g were simulated, and the magnitude and distribution of von Mises stress in the periodontal ligament were compared for each condition. Results: The maximum von Mises stress in the periodontal ligament was 0.013281 MPa in the 50 g condition, 0.02536 MPa in the 100 g condition, and 0.035549 MPa in the 150 g condition. As the orthodontic force increased, the stress distribution area in the periodontal ligament also expanded. Conclusion: A 100 g orthodontic force is the most suitable when using long-arm brackets, providing a relatively uniform stress distribution in the periodontal ligament and keeping the stress within a reasonable range.

The primary objective is to devise controllers for each agent, enabling them to precisely track the average of multiple time-varying reference signals. By averaging these signals, we can mitigate the influence of errors and uncertainties arising dur-ing measurements, thereby enhancing the robustness and stabi-lity of the system. A distributed fixed-time average estimator is proposed to estimate the average value of global reference sig-nals utilizing local information and communication with neigh-bors. Subsequently, a fixed-time sliding mode controller is intro-duced incorporating a state-dependent sliding mode function coupled with a variable exponent coefficient to achieve dis-tributed average tracking of reference signals, and rigorous ana-lytical methods are employed to substantiate the fixed-time sta-bility. Finally, numerical simulation results are provided to vali-date the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, offering insights into its practical application and robust performance.

文摘Accurately simulating water flow movement in vadose zone is crucial for effective water resources assessment.Richards'equation,which describes the movement of water flow in the vadose zone,is highly nonlinear and challenging to solve.Existing numerical methods often face issues such as numerical dispersion,oscillation,and mass non-conservation when spatial and temporal discretization conditions are not appropriately configured.To address these problems and achieve accurate and stable numerical solutions,a finite analytic method based on water content-based Richards'equation(FAM-W)is proposed.The performance of the FAM-W is compared with analytical solutions,Finite Difference Method(FDM),and Finite Analytic Method based on the pressure Head-based Richards'equation(FAM-H).Compared to analytical solution and other numerical methods(FDM and FAM-H),FAM-W demonstrates superior accuracy and efficiency in controlling mass balance errors,regardless of spatial step sizes.This study introduces a novel approach for modelling water flow in the vadose zone,offering significant benefits for water resources management.

文摘To enhance the computational efficiency of spatio-temporally discretized phase-field models,we present a high-speed solver specifically designed for the Poisson equations,a component frequently used in the numerical computation of such models.This efficient solver employs algorithms based on discrete cosine transformations(DCT)or discrete sine transformations(DST)and is not restricted by any spatio-temporal schemes.Our proposed methodology is appropriate for a variety of phase-field models and is especially efficient when combined with flow field systems.Meanwhile,this study has conducted an extensive numerical comparison and found that employing DCT and DST techniques not only yields results comparable to those obtained via the Multigrid(MG)method,a conventional approach used in the resolution of the Poisson equations,but also enhances computational efficiency by over 90%.

文摘A modified inner-element edge-based smoothed finite element method(IES-FEM)is developed and integrated with ABAQUS using a user-defined element(UEL)in this study.Initially,the smoothing domain discretization of IES-FEM is described and compared with ES-FEM.A practical modification of IES-FEM is then introduced that used the technique employed by ES-FEM for the nodal strain calculation.The differences in the strain computation among ES-FEM,IES-FEM,and FEM are then discussed.The modified IES-FEM exhibited superior performance in displacement and a slight advantage in stress compared to FEM using the same mesh according to the results obtained from both the regular and irregular elements.The robustness of the IES-FEM to severely deformed meshes was also verified.

文摘A method combining finite difference method(FDM)and k-means clustering algorithm which can determine the threshold of rock bridge generation is proposed.Jointed slope models with different joint coalescence coefficients(k)are constructed based on FDM.The rock bridge area was divided through k-means algorithm and the optimal number of clusters was determined by sum of squared errors(SSE)and elbow method.The influence of maximum principal stress and stress change rate as clustering indexes on the clustering results of rock bridges was compared by using Euclidean distance.The results show that using stress change rate as clustering index is more effective.When the joint coalescence coefficient is less than 0.6,there is no significant stress concentration in the middle area of adjacent joints,that is,no generation of rock bridge.In addition,the range of rock bridge is affected by the coalescence coefficient(k),the relative position of joints and the parameters of weak interlayer.
文摘As a key national project,a newly built plateau railway features a large proportion of tunnels and high construction difficulty.To reduce the voids in the secondary lining of tunnels and address issues such as ineffective vibration of the vault,vault voiding,and the inability to monitor the casting status during tunnel lining construction with ordinary lining trolleys,a new smart lining trolley with large clearance that integrates functions such as vibration,automatic casting,and pressure monitoring has been developed.This was achieved by combining the functional design of the new smart lining trolley,comparing traditional construction techniques,and introducing information-based and intelligent design concepts.Through simulation calculations using finite element software modeling,it is verified that the structural stiffness,strength,and other performance parameters of the smart lining trolley meet the technical design requirements.

文摘This study generalizes the classical Taylor-Sedov framework to analyze finitesource spherical blast waves propagating through both uniform and power-law density media. Previous analyses have predominantly focused on the effects of varying initial conditions on blast dynamics. In contrast, this study investigates the primary shock wave evolution within different ambient gases, demonstrating the critical dependence on the initial density ratio between the blast sphere and the ambient medium, as well as the ambient density profile. We derive new scaling laws based on the density ratio, which accurately predict the dimensionless main shock distance. Furthermore, we systematically examine, for the first time, the conditions for uniform volume expansion, uniform surface area growth, and uniform shock wave propagation in power-law density media, revealing a key scaling relation associated with the power-law exponent. Numerical simulations validate these novel theoretical predictions, demonstrating excellent agreement with the normalized solutions. These findings provide new insights into blast wave dynamics in inhomogeneous media and have implications for astrophysical and laboratory plasma environments.

文摘Identifying the damage and fracture properties of nuclear graphite materials and accurately simulating them are crucial when designing graphite core structures.To simulate the damage evolution and crack propagation of graphite under stress in a finite element model,compression tests on disks and three-point bending tests on center-notched beams for fine-grained graphite(CDI-1D and IG11 graphite)were conducted.During these tests,digital image correlation and electronic speckle pattern interferometry techniques were utilized to observe the surface full-field displacements of the specimens.A segmented finite element inverse analysis method was developed to characterize the graphite’s damage evolution by quantifying the reduction in Young’s modulus with tensile and compressive strains in disk specimens.The fracture energy and bilinear tensile softening curve of the graphite were determined by comparing the load–displacement responses of the three-point bending tests and the finite element simulation.Finally,by combining the identified damage laws with a fracture criterion based on fracture energy,a damage–fracture model was established and used to simulate tensile tests on L-shaped specimens with different fillet radii.Simulations indicate that the damage area at the fillet expands with increasing radius,creating a blunting effect that enhances the load-bearing capacity of the specimens.This damage–fracture model can be applied to simulate graphite components in core structures.
文摘To effectively address the challenge where the speed of tunnel lining construction struggles to match that of tunnel face and inverted arch construction,and to enhance the quality of secondary lining,a new type of skeleton-free,traversing secondary lining trolley has been developed.This trolley features a set of gantries paired with two sets of formwork.The formwork adopts a multi-segment hinged and strengthened design,ensuring its own strength can meet the requirements of secondary lining concrete pouring without relying on the support of the gantries.When retracted,the formwork can be transported by the gantries through another set of formwork in the supporting state,enabling early formwork support,effectively accelerating the construction progress of the tunnel’s secondary lining,and extending the maintenance time of the secondary lining with the formwork.Finite element software modeling was used for simulation calculations,and the results indicate that the structural strength,stiffness,and other performance parameters of the new secondary lining trolley meet the design requirements,verifying the rationality of the design.
