Not taking into accoun...This paper investigates a class of constrained distributed zeroth-order optimization(ZOO) problems over timevarying unbalanced graphs while ensuring privacy preservation among individual agents. Not taking into account recent progress and addressing these concerns separately, there remains a lack of solutions offering theoretical guarantees for both privacy protection and constrained ZOO over time-varying unbalanced graphs.We hereby propose a novel algorithm, termed the differential privacy(DP) distributed push-sum based zeroth-order constrained optimization algorithm(DP-ZOCOA). Operating over time-varying unbalanced graphs, DP-ZOCOA obviates the need for supplemental suboptimization problem computations, thereby reducing overhead in comparison to distributed primary-dual methods. DP-ZOCOA is specifically tailored to tackle constrained ZOO problems over time-varying unbalanced graphs,offering a guarantee of convergence to the optimal solution while robustly preserving privacy. Moreover, we provide rigorous proofs of convergence and privacy for DP-ZOCOA, underscoring its efficacy in attaining optimal convergence without constraints. To enhance its applicability, we incorporate DP-ZOCOA into the federated learning framework and formulate a decentralized zeroth-order constrained federated learning algorithm(ZOCOA-FL) to address challenges stemming from the timevarying imbalance of communication topology. Finally, the performance and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms are thoroughly evaluated through simulations on distributed least squares(DLS) and decentralized federated learning(DFL) tasks.展开更多

Bas...This paper presents a copula technique to develop time-variant seismic fragility curves for corroded bridges at the system level and considers the realistic time-varying dependence among component seismic demands. Based on material deterioration mechanisms and incremental dynamic analysis, the time-evolving seismic demands of components were obtained in the form of marginal probability distributions. The time-varying dependences among bridge components were then captured with the best fitting copula function, which was selected from the commonly used copula classes by the empirical distribution based analysis method. The system time-variant fragility curves at different damage states were developed and the effects of time-varying dependences among components on the bridge system fragility were investigated. The results indicate the time-varying dependence among components significantly affects the time-variant fragility of the bridge system. The copula technique captures the nonlinear dependence among component seismic demands accurately and easily by separating the marginal distributions and the dependence among them.展开更多

文摘Current research on active flutter suppression considering time delays tends to focus on fixed time delays.To address situations where the control loop may experience time-varying delays with uncertainty,a time-varying-delay Active Disturbance Rejection Control(TVD-ADRC)is proposed.First,a parameterized unsteady aerodynamic reduced-order model(ROM)based on a long short-term memory network is introduced into the aeroservoelastic modeling.This model is applied to predict unsteady aerodynamic forces and aeroservoelastic(ASE)behaviors across a wide range of Mach numbers.Its effectiveness in capturing the characteristics of unsteady aerodynamics is validated through comparisons with the high-fid elity computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulations.Second,the proposed method integrates ADRC with a delayed input and a time-d elay identification module in the controller design.Specifically,the timevarying delay is identified using the cross-correlation function method with a moving window,and this method dynamically updates the time-delay compensation module.Additionally,a genetic algorithm is employed to optimize controller parameters,and the integral of the time-weighted absolute error is selected as the performance evaluation index for the control system.Finally,a three-degree-of-freedom aeroservoelastic system of an airfoil with a trailing-edge control surface is studied for flutter suppression.Flutter control under uncertain time-varying delays during flutter occurrence is investigated,and the impact of the magnitude of the time delay on the effectiveness of the flutter control is analyzed.Simulation results indicate that the proposed TVDADRC controller could effectively suppress the aeroelastic instabilities across a wide range of Mach numbers and effectively counteract the negative effects of time-varying delays.

文摘This paper investigates a class of constrained distributed zeroth-order optimization(ZOO) problems over timevarying unbalanced graphs while ensuring privacy preservation among individual agents. Not taking into account recent progress and addressing these concerns separately, there remains a lack of solutions offering theoretical guarantees for both privacy protection and constrained ZOO over time-varying unbalanced graphs.We hereby propose a novel algorithm, termed the differential privacy(DP) distributed push-sum based zeroth-order constrained optimization algorithm(DP-ZOCOA). Operating over time-varying unbalanced graphs, DP-ZOCOA obviates the need for supplemental suboptimization problem computations, thereby reducing overhead in comparison to distributed primary-dual methods. DP-ZOCOA is specifically tailored to tackle constrained ZOO problems over time-varying unbalanced graphs,offering a guarantee of convergence to the optimal solution while robustly preserving privacy. Moreover, we provide rigorous proofs of convergence and privacy for DP-ZOCOA, underscoring its efficacy in attaining optimal convergence without constraints. To enhance its applicability, we incorporate DP-ZOCOA into the federated learning framework and formulate a decentralized zeroth-order constrained federated learning algorithm(ZOCOA-FL) to address challenges stemming from the timevarying imbalance of communication topology. Finally, the performance and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms are thoroughly evaluated through simulations on distributed least squares(DLS) and decentralized federated learning(DFL) tasks.

文摘The dynamics of network power response play a crucial role in system stability.However,the integration of power electronic equipment leads to amplitude and angular frequency(abbreviated as"frequency")time-varying characteristics of the node voltage during dynamic processes.As a result,traditional calcu-lation methods for and characteristics of the power response of the network based on phasor and impe-dance lose their validity.Therefore,this paper undertakes mathematical calculations to reveal the power response of a network under excitation by voltage with time-varying amplitude and frequency(TVAF),relying on the original mathematical relationships and superimposed step response.Then,the multi-timescale characteristics of both the active and reactive power of the network are explored physically.Additionally,this paper reveals a new phenomenon of storing and releasing the active and reactive power of the network.To meet practical engineering requirements,a simplified power expression is presented.Finally,the theoretical analysis is validated through time-domain simulations.

文摘This paper presents a copula technique to develop time-variant seismic fragility curves for corroded bridges at the system level and considers the realistic time-varying dependence among component seismic demands. Based on material deterioration mechanisms and incremental dynamic analysis, the time-evolving seismic demands of components were obtained in the form of marginal probability distributions. The time-varying dependences among bridge components were then captured with the best fitting copula function, which was selected from the commonly used copula classes by the empirical distribution based analysis method. The system time-variant fragility curves at different damage states were developed and the effects of time-varying dependences among components on the bridge system fragility were investigated. The results indicate the time-varying dependence among components significantly affects the time-variant fragility of the bridge system. The copula technique captures the nonlinear dependence among component seismic demands accurately and easily by separating the marginal distributions and the dependence among them.

文摘This paper studies the problem of time-varying formation control with finite-time prescribed performance for nonstrict feedback second-order multi-agent systems with unmeasured states and unknown nonlinearities.To eliminate nonlinearities,neural networks are applied to approximate the inherent dynamics of the system.In addition,due to the limitations of the actual working conditions,each follower agent can only obtain the locally measurable partial state information of the leader agent.To address this problem,a neural network state observer based on the leader state information is designed.Then,a finite-time prescribed performance adaptive output feedback control strategy is proposed by restricting the sliding mode surface to a prescribed region,which ensures that the closed-loop system has practical finite-time stability and that formation errors of the multi-agent systems converge to the prescribed performance bound in finite time.Finally,a numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of the developed algorithm.

文摘Recent research in cross-domain intelligence fault diagnosis of machinery still has some problems,such as relatively ideal speed conditions and sample conditions.In engineering practice,the rotational speed of the machine is often transient and time-varying,which makes the sample annotation increasingly expensive.Meanwhile,the number of samples collected from different health states is often unbalanced.To deal with the above challenges,a complementary-label(CL)adversarial domain adaptation fault diagnosis network(CLADAN)is proposed under time-varying rotational speed and weakly-supervised conditions.In the weakly supervised learning condition,machine prior information is used for sample annotation via cost-friendly complementary label learning.A diagnosticmodel learning strategywith discretized category probabilities is designed to avoidmulti-peak distribution of prediction results.In adversarial training process,we developed virtual adversarial regularization(VAR)strategy,which further enhances the robustness of the model by adding adversarial perturbations in the target domain.Comparative experiments on two case studies validated the superior performance of the proposed method.

文摘A simulated oil viscosity prediction model is established according to the relationship between simulated oil viscosity and geometric mean value of T2spectrum,and the time-varying law of simulated oil viscosity in porous media is quantitatively characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)experiments of high multiple waterflooding.A new NMR wettability index formula is derived based on NMR relaxation theory to quantitatively characterize the time-varying law of rock wettability during waterflooding combined with high-multiple waterflooding experiment in sandstone cores.The remaining oil viscosity in the core is positively correlated with the displacing water multiple.The remaining oil viscosity increases rapidly when the displacing water multiple is low,and increases slowly when the displacing water multiple is high.The variation of remaining oil viscosity is related to the reservoir heterogeneity.The stronger the reservoir homogeneity,the higher the content of heavy components in the remaining oil and the higher the viscosity.The reservoir wettability changes after water injection:the oil-wet reservoir changes into water-wet reservoir,while the water-wet reservoir becomes more hydrophilic;the degree of change enhances with the increase of displacing water multiple.There is a high correlation between the time-varying oil viscosity and the time-varying wettability,and the change of oil viscosity cannot be ignored.The NMR wettability index calculated by considering the change of oil viscosity is more consistent with the tested Amott(spontaneous imbibition)wettability index,which agrees more with the time-varying law of reservoir wettability.

文摘To analyze the effects of a time-varying viscosity on the penetration length of grouting,in this study cement slur-ries with varying water-cement ratios have been investigated using the Bingham’sfluidflow equation and a dis-crete element method.Afluid-solid coupling numerical model has been introduced accordingly,and its accuracy has been validated through comparison of theoretical and numerical solutions.For different fracture forms(a single fracture,a branch fracture,and a fracture network),the influence of the time-varying viscosity on the slurry length range has been investigated,considering the change in the fracture aperture.The results show that under different fracture forms and the same grouting process conditions,the influence of the time-varying viscosity on the seepage length is 0.350 m.

文摘This article focuses on asymptotic precision motion control for electro-hydraulic axis systems under unknown time-variant parameters,mismatched and matched disturbances.Different from the traditional adaptive results that are applied to dispose of unknown constant parameters only,the unique feature is that an adaptive-gain nonlinear term is introduced into the control design to handle unknown time-variant parameters.Concurrently both mismatched and matched disturbances existing in electro-hydraulic axis systems can also be addressed in this way.With skillful integration of the backstepping technique and the adaptive control,a synthesized controller framework is successfully developed for electro-hydraulic axis systems,in which the coupled interaction between parameter estimation and disturbance estimation is avoided.Accordingly,this designed controller has the capacity of low-computation costs and simpler parameter tuning when compared to the other ones that integrate the adaptive control and observer/estimator-based technique to dividually handle parameter uncertainties and disturbances.Also,a nonlinear filter is designed to eliminate the“explosion of complexity”issue existing in the classical back-stepping technique.The stability analysis uncovers that all the closed-loop signals are bounded and the asymptotic tracking performance is also assured.Finally,contrastive experiment results validate the superiority of the developed method as well.

文摘In this paper,an effective target locating approach based on the fingerprint fusion posi-tioning(FFP)method is proposed which integrates the time-difference of arrival(TDOA)and the received signal strength according to the statistical variance of target position in the stationary 3D scenarios.The FFP method fuses the pedestrian dead reckoning(PDR)estimation to solve the moving target localization problem.We also introduce auxiliary parameters to estimate the target motion state.Subsequently,we can locate the static pedestrians and track the the moving target.For the case study,eight access stationary points are placed on a bookshelf and hypermarket;one target node is moving inside hypermarkets in 2D and 3D scenarios or stationary on the bookshelf.We compare the performance of our proposed method with existing localization algorithms such as k-nearest neighbor,weighted k-nearest neighbor,pure TDOA and fingerprinting combining Bayesian frameworks including the extended Kalman filter,unscented Kalman filter and particle fil-ter(PF).The proposed approach outperforms obviously the counterpart methodologies in terms of the root mean square error and the cumulative distribution function of localization errors,espe-cially in the 3D scenarios.Simulation results corroborate the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

文摘Contrary to conventional design methods that assume uniform and slow temperature changes tied to atmospheric conditions,single-layer spherical reticulated shells undergo significant non-uniform and time-variant temperature variations due to dynamic environmental coupling.These differences can affect structural performance and pose safety risks.Here,a systematic numerical method was developed and applied to simulate long-term temperature variations in such a structure under real environmental conditions,revealing its non-uniform distribution characteristics and time-variant regularity.A simplified design method for non-uniform thermal loads,accounting for time-variant environmental factors,was theoretically derived and validated through experiments and simulations.The maximum deviation and mean error rate between calculated and tested results were 6.1℃ and 3.7%,respectively.Calculated temperature fields aligned with simulated ones,with deviations under 6.0℃.Using the design method,non-uniform thermal effects of the structure are analyzed.Maximum member stress and nodal displacement under non-uniform thermal loads reached 119.3 MPa and 19.7 mm,representing increases of 167.5%and 169.9%,respectively,compared to uniform thermal loads.The impacts of healing construction time on non-uniform thermal effects were evaluated,resulting in construction recommendations.The methodologies and conclusions presented here can serve as valuable references for the thermal design,construction,and control of single-layer spherical reticulated shells or similar structures.

文摘Assessment of imprecise time-variant reliability in engineering is a critical task when accounting for both the variability of structural properties and loads over time and the presence of uncertainties involved in the ambiguity of parameters simultaneously.To estimate the Imprecise Time-variant Failure Probability Function(ITFPF)and derive the imprecise reliability results as a byproduct,Adaptive Combination Augmented Line Sampling(ACALS)is proposed.It consists of three integrated features:Augmented Line Sampling(ALS),adaptive strategy,and the optimal combination.ALS is adopted as an efficient analysis tool to obtain the failure probability function w.r.t.imprecise parameters.Then,the adaptive strategy iteratively applies ALS while considering both imprecise parameters and time simultaneously.Finally,the optimal combination algorithm collects all result components in an optimal manner to minimize the Coefficient of Variance(C.o.V.)of the ITFPF estimate.Overall,the proposed ACALS method outperforms the original ALS method by efficiently estimating the ITFPF while guaranteeing a minimal C.o.V.Thus,the proposed approach can serve as an effective tool for imprecise time-variant reliability analysis in real engineering applications.Several examples are presented to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in addressing the challenges of estimating the ITFPF.
