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

文摘This paper presents a Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller(NMPC)for the path following of autonomous vehicles and an algorithm to adaptively adjust the preview distance.The prediction model includes vehicle dynamics,path following dynamics,and system input dynamics.The single-track vehicle model considers the vehicle’s coupled lateral and longitudinal dynamics,as well as nonlinear tire forces.The tracking error dynamics are derived based on the curvilinear coordinates.The cost function is designed to minimize path tracking errors and control effort while considering constraints such as actuator bounds and tire grip limits.An algorithm that utilizes the optimal preview distance vector to query the corresponding reference curvature and reference speed.The length of the preview path is adaptively adjusted based on the vehicle speed,heading error,and path curvature.We validate the controller performance in a simulation environment with the autonomous racing scenario.The simulation results show that the vehicle accurately follows the highly dynamic path with small tracking errors.The maximum preview distance can be prior estimated and guidance the selection of the prediction horizon for NMPC.
文摘The cubic stiffness force model(CSFM)and Bouc-Wen model(BWM)are introduced and compared innovatively.The unknown coefficients of the nonlinear models are identified by the genetic algorithm combined with experiments.By fitting the identified nonlinear coefficients under different excitation amplitudes,the nonlinear vibration responses of the system are predicted.The results show that the accuracy of the BWM is higher than that of the CSFM,especially in the non-resonant region.However,the optimization time of the BWM is longer than that of the CSFM.

文摘The main objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of inertia of nonlinear springs on the dispersion behavior of discrete monoatomic chains with lumped and distributed masses.The developed model can represent the wave propagation problem in a non-homogeneous material consisting of heavy inclusions embedded in a matrix.The inclusions are idealized by lumped masses,and the matrix between adjacent inclusions is modeled by a nonlinear spring with distributed masses.Additionally,the model is capable of depicting the wave propagation in bi-material bars,wherein the first material is represented by a rigid particle and the second one is represented by a nonlinear spring with distributed masses.The discrete model of the nonlinear monoatomic chain with lumped and distributed masses is first considered,and a closed-form expression of the dispersion relation is obtained by the second-order Lindstedt-Poincare method(LPM).Next,a continuum model for the nonlinear monoatomic chain is derived directly from its discrete lattice model by a suitable continualization technique.The subsequent use of the second-order method of multiple scales(MMS)facilitates the derivation of the corresponding nonlinear dispersion relation in a closed form.The novelties of the present study consist of(i)considering the inertia of nonlinear springs on the dispersion behavior of the discrete mass-spring chains;(ii)developing the second-order LPM for the wave propagation in the discrete chains;and(iii)deriving a continuum model for the nonlinear monoatomic chains with lumped and distributed masses.Finally,a parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of the design parameters and the distributed spring mass on the nonlinear dispersion relations and phase velocities obtained from both the discrete and continuum models.These parameters include the ratio of the spring mass to the lumped mass,the nonlinear stiffness coefficient of the spring,and the wave amplitude.

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SiO_(2)-particle reinforced silicon rubber composite(SP-RSRC)is a widely utilized material that offers shock absorption protection to various engineering structures in impact environments.This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of the mechanical behavior of SP-RSRC under various strain rates,employing a combination of experimental,theoretical,and numerical analyses.Firstly,quasi-static and dynamic compression tests were performed on SP-RSRC utilizing a universal testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)apparatus.Nonlinear stress-strain relationships of SP-RSRC were obtained for strain rates ranging from 1×10^(−3) to 3065 s^(−1).The results indicated that the composite showed evident strain rate sensitivity,along with nonlinearity.Then,a nonlinear visco-hyperelastic constitutive model was developed,consisting of a hyperelastic component utilizing the 3rd-order Ogden energy function and a viscous component employing a rate-dependent relaxation time scheme.The model accurately characterized the dynamic mechanical response of SP-RSRC,effectively mitigating the challenge of calibrating an excessive number of material parameters inherent in conventional viscoelastic models.Furthermore,the simplified rubber material(SRM)model,integrated within the LS-DYNA software,was chosen to depict the mechanical properties of SP-RSRC in numerical simulations.The parameters of the SRM model were further calibrated based on the strain-stress relationships of SP-RSRC,as predicted by the developed nonlinear visco-hyperelastic constitutive model.Finally,an inverse ballistic experiment using a single-stage air gun was conducted for SP-RSRC.Numerical simulations of SHPB experiments and the inverse ballistic experiment were then performed,and the reliability of the calibrated SRM model was verified by comparing the results of experiments and numerical simulations.This study offers a valuable reference for the utilization of SP-RSRC in the realm of impact protection.

文摘This paper studies the strong convergence of the quantum lattice Boltzmann(QLB)scheme for the nonlinear Dirac equations for Gross-Neveu model in 1+1 dimensions.The initial data for the scheme are assumed to be convergent in L^(2).Then for any T≥0 the corresponding solutions for the quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme are shown to be convergent in C([0,T];L^(2)(R^(1)))to the strong solution to the nonlinear Dirac equations as the mesh sizes converge to zero.In the proof,at first a Glimm type functional is introduced to establish the stability estimates for the difference between two solutions for the corresponding quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme,which leads to the compactness of the set of the solutions for the quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme.Finally the limit of any convergent subsequence of the solutions for the quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme is shown to coincide with the strong solution to a Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Dirac equations.

文摘Due to the novel applications of flexible pipes conveying fluid in the field of soft robotics and biomedicine,the investigations on the mechanical responses of the pipes have attracted considerable attention.The fluid-structure interaction(FSI)between the pipe with a curved shape and the time-varying internal fluid flow brings a great challenge to the revelation of the dynamical behaviors of flexible pipes,especially when the pipe is highly flexible and usually undergoes large deformations.In this work,the geometrically exact model(GEM)for a curved cantilevered pipe conveying pulsating fluid is developed based on the extended Hamilton's principle.The stability of the curved pipe with three different subtended angles is examined with the consideration of steady fluid flow.Specific attention is concentrated on the large-deformation resonance of circular pipes conveying pulsating fluid,which is often encountered in practical engineering.By constructing bifurcation diagrams,oscillating shapes,phase portraits,time traces,and Poincarémaps,the dynamic responses of the curved pipe under various system parameters are revealed.The mean flow velocity of the pulsating fluid is chosen to be either subcritical or supercritical.The numerical results show that the curved pipe conveying pulsating fluid can exhibit rich dynamical behaviors,including periodic and quasi-periodic motions.It is also found that the preferred instability type of a cantilevered curved pipe conveying steady fluid is mainly in the flutter of the second mode.For a moderate value of the mass ratio,however,a third-mode flutter may occur,which is quite different from that of a straight pipe system.
文摘This paper proposes a robust control scheme based on the sequential convex programming and learning-based model for nonlinear system subjected to additive uncertainties.For the problem of system nonlinearty and unknown uncertainties,we study the tube-based model predictive control scheme that makes use of feedforward neural network.Based on the characteristics of the bounded limit of the average cost function while time approaching infinity,a min-max optimization problem(referred to as min-max OP)is formulated to design the controller.The feasibility of this optimization problem and the practical stability of the controlled system are ensured.To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach,a numerical simulation on a double-tank system is conducted.The results of the simulation serve as verification of the effectualness of the proposed scheme.

文摘How the state of living muscles modulates the features of nonlinear elastic waves generated by external dynamic loads remains unclear because of the challenge of directly observing and modeling nonlinear elastic waves in skeletal muscles in vivo,considering their active deformation behavior.Here,this important issue is addressed by combining experiments performed with an ultrafast ultrasound imaging system to track nonlinear shear waves(shear shock waves)in muscles in vivo and finite element analysis relying on a physically motivated constitutive model to study the effect of muscle activation level.Skeletal muscle was loaded with a deep muscle stimulator to generate shear shock waves(SSWs).The particle velocities,second and third harmonics,and group velocities of the SSWs in living muscles under both passive and active states were measured in vivo.Our experimental results reveal,for the first time,that muscle states have a pronounced effect on wave features;a low level of activation may facilitate the occurrence of both the second and third harmonics,whereas a high level of activation may inhibit the third harmonic.Finite element analysis was further carried out to quantitatively explore the effect of active muscle deformation behavior on the generation and propagation of SSWs.The simulation results at different muscle activation levels confirmed the experimental findings.The ability to reveal the effects of muscle state on the features of SSWs may be helpful in elucidating the unique dynamic deformation mechanism of living skeletal muscles,quantitatively characterizing diverse shock wave-based therapy instruments,and guiding the design of muscle-mimicking soft materials.

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Conducting predictability studies is essential for tracing the source of forecast errors,which not only leads to the improvement of observation and forecasting systems,but also enhances the understanding of weather and climate phenomena.In the past few decades,dynamical numerical models have been the primary tools for predictability studies,achieving significant progress.Nowadays,with the advances in artificial intelligence(AI)techniques and accumulations of vast meteorological data,modeling weather and climate events using modern data-driven approaches is becoming trendy,where FourCastNet,Pangu-Weather,and GraphCast are successful pioneers.In this perspective article,we suggest AI models should not be limited to forecasting but be expanded to predictability studies,leveraging AI's advantages of high efficiency and self-contained optimization modules.To this end,we first remark that AI models should possess high simulation capability with fine spatiotemporal resolution for two kinds of predictability studies.AI models with high simulation capabilities comparable to numerical models can be considered to provide solutions to partial differential equations in a data-driven way.Then,we highlight several specific predictability issues with well-determined nonlinear optimization formulizations,which can be well-studied using AI models,holding significant scientific value.In addition,we advocate for the incorporation of AI models into the synergistic cycle of the cognition–observation–model paradigm.Comprehensive predictability studies have the potential to transform“big data”to“big and better data”and shift the focus from“AI for forecasts”to“AI for science”,ultimately advancing the development of the atmospheric and oceanic sciences.
文摘In order to enhance the control performance of piezo-positioning system,the influence of hysteresis characteristics and its compensation method are studied.Hammerstein model is used to represent the dynamic hysteresis nonlinear characteristics of piezo-positioning actuator.The static nonlinear part and dynamic linear part of the Hammerstein model are represented by models obtained through the Prandtl-Ishlinskii(PI)model and Hankel matrix system identification method,respectively.This model demonstrates good generalization capability for typical input frequencies below 200 Hz.A sliding mode inverse compensation tracking control strategy based on P-I inverse model and integral augmentation is proposed.Experimental results show that compared with PID inverse compensation control and sliding mode control without inverse compensation,the sliding mode inverse compensation control has a more ideal step response and no overshoot,moreover,the settling time is only 6.2 ms.In the frequency domain,the system closed-loop tracking bandwidth reaches 119.9 Hz,and the disturbance rejection bandwidth reaches 86.2 Hz.The proposed control strategy can effectively compensate the hysteresis nonlinearity,and improve the tracking accuracy and antidisturbance capability of piezo-positioning system.
