To address unknown wheel longitudinal slipping problem for mobile robot, a RBF neural network approach based on whole model approximation is presented.

Both the simulation and experimental results prove that the control scheme possesses good practical performance and realize the motion control with unknown longitudinal slipping.展开更多

To overcome this drawback, a new method called no phase slipping adaptive bandwidth（NPS-AB） is proposed, which can adjust the loop bandwidth adaptively for different working conditions. As a result, both the tracking precision and the dynamic performance can be achieved concurrently. NPS-AB has two features to keep the loop stable： one is the capability of quick response to dynamics; the other is a series of additional constraints when the bandwidth is switched. Compared with other methods, there is no phase slipping during the adjustment process for NPS-AB. The phase integer ambiguity can be avoided and the phase value is kept valid. It is meaningful for carrier ranging systems. Simulation results show that NPS-AB can deal with sudden dynamics and keep the pseudo-range value stable in the entire dynamic process.展开更多

This is one of the important reasons for overturn of ro-ro ships. The multibody system with a floating base is composed of ro-ro ship and slipping vehicles. Takes the rolling angle of the ship and the transverse displacements of the slipping vehicles on desk as freedoms. Making use of the analysis of apparent gravitation and apparent buoyancy, the wave rolling moment is derived. By means of dynamic method of multibody system, dynamic equations of the system are established. Taking a certain channel ferry as an example, a set of numerical calculation have been carried out for rolling response of the multibody system with a floating base of a ro-ro ship and displacements response of the slipping vehicles under common effect of free slipping vehicles and wave, and a conclusion has been drawn that the motion of the numerous free slipping heavy loads will trend to be synchronous under restraining of the side-wall bulkhead with time because of repeated collision.展开更多

Dilata...When a block of dense sandy soil moves downhill, the shear-induced soil dilatancy along the basal shear boundary produces a negative value of excess pore pressure that increases the basal frictional resistance. Dilatancy angle,Ψ, the degree to which the basal soil dilates due to the shear, normally evolves during slope failure. A study by other researchers shows that if Ψ is constant, the block of dense soil will remain stable(or unstable) sliding when the velocity-weakening rate of the basal friction coefficient of the block is small(or large) enough. Moreover, during unstable sliding processes, the block of dense soil exhibits "periodic" patterns of intermittent slipping. Here, we used a more efficient and accurate numerical scheme to revisit that study. We expanded their model by assuming Ψ evolves during slope failure. Consequently, we acquired completely different results. For instance, even though the velocity-weakening rate of the friction coefficient is fixed at the same smaller(or larger) value that those researchers use, the stable(or unstable) steady states of landslide they predict will inversely change to unstable(or stable) when Ψ decreases(or increases) with the increase of slide displacement to a value small(or large) enough. Particularly, in unstable processes, the soil block exhibits "aperiodic" styles of intermittent slipping, instead of "periodic". We found out that the stick states appearing later last longer(or shorter) in the case of decreasing(or increasing) Ψ. Moreover, because the basic states of landslides with impacts of dilatancy evolution are not steady nor periodic, traditional stability-analysis methods cannot be "directly" used to analyze the stability of such landslides. Here, we broke through this technical problem to a degree. We showed that combining a concept called "quasi-steady-state approximation" with a traditional stability-analysis technique can qualitatively predict the instability onset of the landslides. Through this study, we demonstrated that the combination of Chebyshev collocation(CC) and 4^(th)-order Runge-Kutta methods is more accurate and efficient than the numerical scheme those researchers use.展开更多

And the same phenomenon was found again later in the bore cores from the petroleum basin in the Northern Shaanxi Province. It may be the product of the dynamic processes involv-ing tumbling, grinding and compresso-shearing functions, so the spherical particulates with ul-tra-size of nm and mm are called grinding grain. The formation of the grinding grains is related with the ductile-brittle deformation, the lateral pressure of the slipping, and the very low grade of dynamic metamorphism of the rocks. Based on the systematic analysis, it is indicated that some elements like Nb and Ta are enriched in the grinding grains in the granitic rocks because of the chemical differentiation, and that the slipping lamellae bearing grinding grains in mudstone with smear efficiency prove a perfect seal for oil and gas reservoirs. Meanwhile, the paper provides bases for the studies on the fast stick-slip movement and shear paradigm.展开更多

At constant bias current, the simulation shows significant enhancement in optical bandwidth due to moving the quantum well in the direction of collector-base junction.

文摘When a block of dense sandy soil moves downhill, the shear-induced soil dilatancy along the basal shear boundary produces a negative value of excess pore pressure that increases the basal frictional resistance.

文摘Based on the observation of the deep bore cores sampled from the State of Cali-fornia, USA, preferred arranged particulate concentration belts were found in the ultra-slipping lamellae. And the same phenomenon was found again later in the bore cores from the petroleum basin in the Northern Shaanxi Province. It may be the product of the dynamic processes involv-ing tumbling, grinding and compresso-shearing functions, so the spherical particulates with ul-tra-size of nm and mm are called grinding grain. The formation of the grinding grains is related with the ductile-brittle deformation, the lateral pressure of the slipping, and the very low grade of dynamic metamorphism of the rocks. Based on the systematic analysis, it is indicated that some elements like Nb and Ta are enriched in the grinding grains in the granitic rocks because of the chemical differentiation, and that the slipping lamellae bearing grinding grains in mudstone with smear efficiency prove a perfect seal for oil and gas reservoirs. Meanwhile, the paper provides bases for the studies on the fast stick-slip movement and shear paradigm.

文摘The minimum gripping force applied is expected to prevent objects from mechanical damage when an agricultural robot is applied to handle and manipulate fruits and vegetables.In this research,a sensitive slipping sensor was developed with a piezo resistor to control the griping force of the agricultural robot.Firstly,an output of the slipping sensor was analyzed in a frequency domain by using a short time Fourier transform.Then rules for discriminating slipping signal from the output of a slipping sensor were proposed based on detail coefficients of discrete wavelet transform.Finally,a controller based on adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference system was developed to adjust the grasping force of the agricultural robot in real time.The detail coefficients and the normal gripping force were applied as input of the controller,and Fuzzy rules were simplified through subtractive clustering.With a two-finger end-effector of the agricultural robot,the experimental results showed that the slipping signal could be effectively extracted regardless of change in the normal gripping force,and the gripping force had been controlled successfully when grasping tomatoes and apples.This method was a promising way to optimize the gripping force of the agricultural robot grasping the fruits and vegetables.

文摘The deformation behavior of GH4169 superalloy under room-temperature uniaxial tension was investigated through synchronized mesoscopic digital image correlation(DIC)and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)in-situ characterization techniques.Results show that in the field of grain deflection dynamics,through quantitative analysis using the independently developed M-DIC software,during uniaxial tension with significant bidirectional rotation along the tensile axis and the stress level of 1100 MPa,oscillatory rotation of±0.6°can be obtained,and microvoids are generated at the grain boundaries with 45°to the stress axis.EBSD crystallographic analysis demonstrates the load-dependent slip system evolution:in the initial stage,the soft-oriented systems with high Schmid factor(>0.4)is activated and then transformed into hard-oriented systems during cross-slip,generating parallel slip bands and dislocation pile-ups at grain boundaries.During the uniaxial tensile process,the characteristic of strain energy accumulation is observed,which follows a two-stage accumulation pattern:initial grain boundary localization(Stage I)and intragranular propagation(Stage II).Ultimately,the intergranular cracks are initiated at triple junctions,and the twin boundaries exhibit superior mechanical stability compared with the large-angle grain boundaries.Deformation texture characteristics indicate the copper-type components,including C{112}<111¯>,S{123}<634¯>,and B{110}<11¯0>.The complete deformation sequence is as follows:cross-slip of soft-oriented slip systems→initiation of dislocation slip→strain partitioning through grain rotation→intergranular stress concentration→damage dominated by boundary cracking.The cross-scale deformation mechanism revealed in this study provides critical guidance for the crystal boundary engineering to optimize nickel-based superalloys.

文摘Ultrafine-grained(UFG)pure titanium was produced by equal channel angular pressing for 4 passes,followed by rotatory swaging at room temperature.The strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue tests of UFG and coarse-grained(CG)pure titanium were conducted by Instron electro-hydraulic servo fatigue testing machine in the strain amplitude range of 0.5%—1.1%at room temperature.Transmission electron microscope(TEM)and scanning electron microscope were used to investigate the microstructure and fracture surface of UFG pure titanium after fatigue tests.Results show that UFG pure titanium exhibits a longer low-cycle fatigue life,compared with the CG pure titanium.For example,at a total strain amplitude of 0.5%,UFG and CG pure titanium has fatigue life of 10850 and 4820 cycles,respectively.Significant cyclic softening occurs in UFG pure titanium,except in the case of a total strain amplitude of 0.5%.Hysteresis loop area is increased rapidly with the increase in strain amplitude.The fracture surface shows that the fatigue crack is initiated from the specimen surface.A series of fatigue striations and many microcracks exist in the propagation region.With the increase in strain amplitude,the predominant failure mode is transformed from ductile failure into quasi-cleavage failure.Dislocation slip is the main plastic deformation mechanism of UFG pure titanium during low-cycle fatigue deformation.

文摘Yogyakarta was struck by a devastating Mw6.3 earthquake,which intensified awareness about the seismic hazards in the region.This study investigates the kinematic slip rate and seismogenic depth of the northern segment of Opak Fault and an unmapped fault known as Ngalang Fault in Yogyakarta,utilizing Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)data collected between 2019 and 2023.By deploying a network of 12 GNSS stations alongside continuous observations from the InaCORS network,we perfo rmed a detailed geodetic analysis to discern current defo rmation patterns.To quantify the slip rate,we established a frame of reference using the Sundaland Block's rotational parameters and applied the Euler pole angular velocity to transform daily GNSS solutions acco rdingly.The findings reveal significant left-lateral strike-slip motion in the northern segment of Opak Fault,with a slip rate averaging 3 mm/yr and a locking depth of 2.1 km in Northern Segment,whereas the slip rate averages 1.1 mm/yr and the locking depth is estimated at 1 km in the Ngalang Fault,indicating active geological movements that may influence future seismicity.

文摘The interrupted fatigue test method was utilized to investigate the damage evolution mechanism of the notch high-cycle fatigue(NHCF)in Ti-55531 alloy with a multilevel lamellar microstructure.The results reveal that significant microvoids and microcracks predominantly initiate at α/β interfaces under various notch root radii(R).Notably,even under larger R(0.75 mm),mutual interactions of stacking faults(SFs)−deformation twins,twins−twins,and SFs−SFs are observed.Furthermore,with decreasing R(0.34 and 0.14 mm),the volume fraction of SFs escalates significantly and twins are almost absent.Moreover,activated prismatic slip system decreases with a decrease in Schmidt factor and with the further decrease in R.Finally,strain localization near α/β interfaces contributes to the initiation of fatigue microcracks.
文摘An optical bandwidth analysis of a quantum-well （16 nm） transistor laser with 150-μm cavity length using a charge control model is reported in order to modify the quantum-well location through the base region. At constant bias current, the simulation shows significant enhancement in optical bandwidth due to moving the quantum well in the direction of collector-base junction. No remarkable resonance peak, limiting factor in laser diodes, is observed during this modification in transistor laser structure. The method can be utilized for transistor laser structure design.

文摘The shallow slip deficit(SSD)during strike-slip earthquakes raises a question of how the strain budget is accommodated over multiple cycles.However,the origin of variable SSD observed in different earthquakes is still under debate because each earthquake has its unique initial stress condition.Here,we derive the slip model of the 2021 M_(W) 7.4 Maduo earthquake in Qinghai,China,using multi-track radar images.Our results revealed that,in contrast to the large SSD on segments close to the epicenter,a much smaller SSD was observed at the west terminus of the rupture,where aftershock distribution indicates that the fault changes dip direction at 6 km depth.The 2021 Maduo earthquake thus represents an extraordinary case of significant along-strike SSD variation.After accounting for interseismic,postseismic,and diffuse off-fault deformation,we find that this variation is likely contributed by the along-dipping geometrical variation,implying that a multi-segment earthquake may leave heterogeneous stress condition on the fault with different amounts of SSD.

文摘An MW6.0 earthquake struck Jishishan County in Linxia Prefecture,Gansu Province,on December 18,2023.In this research,Sentinel-1A satellite radar observations were used to obtain the field of coseismic deformation of the Jishishan earthquake in 2023,and the geometric and fine slip distribution of the seismogenic fault were inverted using this as a constraint.The results show that the earthquake is characterized by thrust movement.The coseismic slip distribution results show that the maximum slip of this earthquake is 0.3 m.The Coulomb stress distribution shows that the whole section of the southern edge of Lajishan fault,the NWW trending segment of the northern edge of Lajishan fault and its NNW trending segment to the south of the epicenter,the northern edge of the West Qinling fault and the segment to the east of the epicenter of the Daotanghe Linxia fault are under stress loading,which indicates an increase in the potential risk of earthquakes.This research discussed the seismogenic characteristics of earthquakes and the tendency of faults.We speculate that the Jishishan earthquake is the result of the joint action of regional faults and tectonic stress.Based on the observation of seismic data,geodesy,and other geological and geophysical data,we believe that the earthquake was caused by the activation of weak areas under the crust by the local stress from the driving mechanism of the northeast expansion of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.The seismogenic fault of this earthquake is more likely to be northeast dipping under the comprehensive consideration of various factors,which occurred on the concealed fault belonging to the eastern edge of the Jishishan fault zone.
