How...Separable nonlinear models are widely used in various fields such as time series analysis, system modeling, and machine learning, due to their flexible structures and ability to capture nonlinear behavior of data. However, identifying the parameters of these models is challenging, especially when sparse models with better interpretability are desired by practitioners. Previous theoretical and practical studies have shown that variable projection (VP) is an efficient method for identifying separable nonlinear models, but these are based on \(L_2\) penalty of model parameters, which cannot be directly extended to deal with sparse constraint. Based on the exploration of the structural characteristics of separable models, this paper proposes gradient-based and trust-region-based variable projection algorithms, which mainly solve two key problems: how to eliminate linear parameters under sparse constraint;and how to deal with the coupling relationship between linear and nonlinear parameters in the model. Finally, numerical experiments on synthetic data and real time series data are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.展开更多

First, the system model of passive detection in UAV formation is constructed.Then, the Geometric Dilution of Precision(GDOP) of bearing-only sensor nodes pair on the observation plane is analyzed. Building on this foundation, the pairwise form is expanded to obtain the optimal geometric configuration for the entire network. Subsequently, the Distributed Cubature Information Filtering(DCIF) is integrated with the weighted average consensus protocol to design the distributed cooperative observer suitable for the system model, enabling state estimation of the target. Finally, within the distributed architecture, the Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller(NMPC) is designed. This controller autonomously assembles the UAV formation during the assembly phase and forms an optimal detection array. The UAV formation then tracks the target using the virtual geometric center based on the established rigid geometric configuration. The simulation experiments validate that the proposed model and method can enhance the passive detection effectiveness of the UAV formation, thereby achieving stable and efficient distributed cooperative tracking for the maneuvering target.展开更多

文摘Separable nonlinear models are widely used in various fields such as time series analysis, system modeling, and machine learning, due to their flexible structures and ability to capture nonlinear behavior of data. However, identifying the parameters of these models is challenging, especially when sparse models with better interpretability are desired by practitioners. Previous theoretical and practical studies have shown that variable projection (VP) is an efficient method for identifying separable nonlinear models, but these are based on \(L_2\) penalty of model parameters, which cannot be directly extended to deal with sparse constraint. Based on the exploration of the structural characteristics of separable models, this paper proposes gradient-based and trust-region-based variable projection algorithms, which mainly solve two key problems: how to eliminate linear parameters under sparse constraint;and how to deal with the coupling relationship between linear and nonlinear parameters in the model. Finally, numerical experiments on synthetic data and real time series data are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

文摘This paper investigates the motion control of the heavy-duty Bionic Caterpillar-like Robot(BCR)for the maintenance of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor(CFETR).Initially,a comprehensive nonlinear mathematical model for the BCR system is formulated using a physics-based approach.The nonlinear components of the model are compensated through nonlinear feedback linearization.Subsequently,a fuzzy-based regulator is employed to enhance the receding horizon opti-mization process for achieving optimal results.A Deep Neural Network(DNN)is trained to address disturbances.Conse-quently,a novel hybrid controller incorporating Nonlinear Model Predictive Control(NMPC),the Fuzzy Regulator(FR),and Deep Neural Network Feedforward(DNNF),named NMPC-FRDNNF is developed.Finally,the efficacy of the control system is validated through simulations and experiments.The results indicate that the Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)of the controller with FR and DNNF decreases by 33.2 and 48.9%,respectively,compared to the controller without these enhancements.This research provides a theoretical foundation and practical insights for ensuring the future highly stable,safe,and efficient maintenance of blankets.

文摘When the proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC)system is running,there will be a condition that does not require power output for a short time.In order to achieve zero power output under low power consumption,it is necessary to consider the diversity of control targets and the complexity of dynamic models,which brings the challenge of high-precision tracking control of the stack output power and cathode intake flow.For system idle speed control,a modelbased nonlinear control framework is constructed in this paper.Firstly,the nonlinear dynamic model of output power and cathode intake flow is derived.Secondly,a control scheme combining nonlinear extended Kalman filter observer and state feedback controller is designed.Finally,the control scheme is verified on the PEMFC experimental platform and compared with the proportion-integration-differentiation(PID)controller.The experimental results show that the control strategy proposed in this paper can realize the idle speed control of the fuel cell system and achieve the purpose of zero power output.Compared with PID controller,it has faster response speed and better system dynamics.

文摘Musculoskeletal Symptoms(MSS)often arise from prolonged maintenance of bent postures in the neck and trunk during surgical procedures.To prevent MSS,a passive exoskeleton utilizing carbon fiber beams to offer support to the neck and trunk was proposed.The application of support force is intended to reduce muscle forces and joint compression forces.A nonlinear mathematical model for the neck and trunk support beam is presented to estimate the support force.A validation test is subsequently conducted to assess the accuracy of the mathematical model.Finally,a preliminary functional evaluation test is performed to evaluate movement capabilities and support provided by the exoskeleton.The mathematical model demonstrates an accuracy for beam support force within a range of 0.8–1.2 N Root Mean Square Error(RMSE).The exoskeleton was shown to allow sufficient Range of Motion(ROM)for neck and trunk during open surgery training.While the exoskeleton showed potential in reducing musculoskeletal load and task difficulty during simulated surgery tasks,the observed reduction in perceived task difficulty was deemed non-significant.This prompts the recommendation for further optimization in personalized adjustments of beams to facilitate improvements in task difficulty and enhance comfort.

文摘Hydrogen fuel cell ships are one of the key solutions to achieving zero carbon emissions in shipping.Multi-fuel cell stacks(MFCS)systems are frequently employed to fulfill the power requirements of high-load power equipment on ships.Compared to single-stack system,MFCS may be difficult to apply traditional energy management strategies(EMS)due to their complex structure.In this paper,a two-layer power allocation strategy for MFCS of a hydrogen fuel cell ship is proposed to reduce the complexity of the allocation task by splitting it into each layer of the EMS.The first layer of the EMSis centered on the Nonlinear Model Predictive Control(NMPC).The Northern Goshawk Optimization(NGO)algorithm is used to solve the nonlinear optimization problem in NMPC,and the local fine search is performed using sequential quadratic programming(SQP).Based on the power allocation results of the first layer,the second layer is centered on a fuzzy rule-based adaptive power allocation strategy(AP-Fuzzy).The membership function bounds of the fuzzy controller are related to the aging level of the MFCS.The Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of the residual membership function to improve the performance of the proposed strategy.The effectiveness of the proposed EMS is verified by comparing it with the traditional EMS.The experimental results show that the EMS proposed in this paper can ensure reasonable hydrogen consumption,slow down the FC aging and equalize its performance,effectively extend the system life,and ensure that the ship has good endurance after completing the mission.

文摘To address the problem of instability and inaccuracy when the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) formation equipped with bearing-only sensor network tracks a maneuvering target,this paper proposes a distributed cooperative tracking control method considering the effectiveness of passive detection. First, the system model of passive detection in UAV formation is constructed.Then, the Geometric Dilution of Precision(GDOP) of bearing-only sensor nodes pair on the observation plane is analyzed. Building on this foundation, the pairwise form is expanded to obtain the optimal geometric configuration for the entire network. Subsequently, the Distributed Cubature Information Filtering(DCIF) is integrated with the weighted average consensus protocol to design the distributed cooperative observer suitable for the system model, enabling state estimation of the target. Finally, within the distributed architecture, the Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller(NMPC) is designed. This controller autonomously assembles the UAV formation during the assembly phase and forms an optimal detection array. The UAV formation then tracks the target using the virtual geometric center based on the established rigid geometric configuration. The simulation experiments validate that the proposed model and method can enhance the passive detection effectiveness of the UAV formation, thereby achieving stable and efficient distributed cooperative tracking for the maneuvering target.
