Optimization Design of Redundant Parallel Posture Adjustment Mechanism for Solar Wing Docking Based on Response Surface Methodology

The parallel mechanism exhibits high stiffness and excellent dynamic response, making it ideal for high-precision applications. In our early work, a novel 6-DOF redundant parallel posture mechanism with four limbs for solar wing docking has been proposed; each limb consists of three links and four joints. This paper primarily focuses on optimization design of the mechanism. The calculation of workspace volume reveals that factors influencing the range of posture adjustment include dynamic platform parameters, static platform parameters, the drive trajectory of each kinematic pair, and the angles between each kinematic pair. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to examine the impact of each parameter on the range of posture adjustment. To reduce computational complexity and improve analysis efficiency, a combined approach of single-factor analysis and response surface methodology (RSM) is used in the paper. Single-factor analysis is utilized to evaluate the effect of each parameter on the posture adjustment range. Based on these results, RSM is used to establish a regression model for parameters; thereby, the optimal parameter combination for the mechanism is determined. The regression coefficient R2 = 0.9374 attests to the validity of the proposed model. Finally, a comparison of the posture adjustment range before and after optimization is presented, providing a foundation for the practical application of the redundant parallel mechanism. This paper introduces a novel structural design concept aimed at resolving the conflict between heavy loads and compact sizes in redundant parallel mechanisms while providing valuable insights for miniaturized design.

Adaptive phase lock loop system for global navigation satellite systems signals

Formulation of the problem. Classical optimal Bayesian phase lock loop (PLL) algorithms require a priori knowledge of the phase dynamics parameters and signal-to-noiz ratios of the received signals. In practice, these parameters vary significantly and, as a rule, are unknown. Taking into account the fact that the operation of such algorithms under conditions different from those a priori specified is not reliable according to the criterion of minimum variance error. Purpose of the study. Develop a phase-locked loop system for the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal that adapts to phase dynamics and signal-to-noise ratio to maintain phase tracking over the widest possible range of operating conditions. Results. A multi-channel adaptive phase-locked loop system (MAPLL system) has been developed. Practical significance. The developed system is capable of processing a jump in the signal-to-noise ratio from 50 to 9 dBHz and back without losing phase tracking (under conditions of low dynamics), maintaining phase tracking during abrupt transitions of dynamics between low (due only to the dynamics of the reference oscillator) and high (sinusoidal acceleration 10g and sinusoidal jerk 10 g/s) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 24 dBHz. Thus, in real-world conditions where object dynamics and S/N ratios of received signals change in unpredictable ways, MAPLL system maintains phase tracking over a much wider range of conditions than non-adaptive PLL.

Dynamic Attitude Inertial Measurement Method for Typical Regions of Deck Deformation

Due to the deformation of ships, it becomes difficult to ensure the accuracy of attitude measurement in typical areas on the deck, which seriously impacts the safety and operational efficiency of shipborne equipment. To address this issue, this paper presents a parameter identification method for dynamic deformation models based on angle increment differences and introduces the related vector machine (RVM) algorithm for online estimation of dynamic deformation model parameters. In view of the truncation error and non-Gaussian noise of the model, this article proposes a dynamic attitude measurement method based on model predictive filtering (MPF), constructs a dynamic measurement model using Rodrigues parameters in an inertial frame, and designs a maximum correlation entropy (MCE) robust filter to achieve robust estimation of deck dynamic deformation. The performance of the method is verified through simulation analysis and shipborne experiments. The comparative results indicate that, compared with existing methods, the proposed improved deck dynamic attitude measurement algorithm based on model prediction (IDAM) can substantially enhance the accuracy of attitude measurement in the presence of deck dynamic deformations.

The power model, exponential model and linear functional model of the universe have been discussed for choices of f(T)with utilization of the special form of time dependent varying deceleration parameter. The discussion involves the examination of the dynamical behaviour of these models using some dynamical parameters and its graphical representation.

Mathematical Model of the Electronic Cam in Terms of Application in a Dosing Machine

The article analyses the use of servomotors in the control systems of industrial equipment, focusing on the alternative offered by position and speed synchronization in relation to classical mechanical mechanisms. A complete methodology is presented to determine the dynamic parameters of the adopted kinematic system using electronic motion profiles. The results obtained constitute a mathematical model of the execution chain and an analysis of the basic quantities for linear motion, supported by actual measurements of the drive parameters. The merit of the article is to show that the servomotors can significantly simplify the design of the device, make it more flexible in adaptation to different assortments, and allow integration with systems predicting the technical condition of the device. The analysis of the results revealed significant differences in the constant rotational speed of the servomotor, which do not align with previous findings. The results suggest that changing the angular working range of the assembly to the range (205°;270°) could significantly affect the generated linear acceleration, reducing the risk of stalling. The calculations and graphs conducted allowed for the accurate representation of the actual mechanical system, considering its dynamic characteristics. The key conclusion is that precise mathematical modelling is essential to ensure the stability and durability of engineering components.

Features of Bioluminescence Dynamics of Photobacterium phosphoreum IMV B-7071

The problem of the prolonged and stable intensity of bioluminescent signals is relevant in the development of any test systems that use biological objects. The aim of this work was to study the features of bioluminescence dynamics of Photobacterium phosphoreum IMV B-7071 in a liquid and on different stationary media. Methods. Bioluminescence studies were performed in liquid, agarose, and cellulose-cotton media. Bacterial suspensions were cultivated at 21°C in the mediums with standard composition. We studied both the background glow and its dynamics under conditions of mixing a liquid medium. Bioluminescence was recorded using digital photography with subsequent image processing of the samples. The measurements of luminescence were made by digital photo or video recording using Olympus digital camera SP560UZ, CANON 700D, and mobile device camera Samsung Galaxy 9 Note with specialized applications for mobile devices "Colorimeter (Lab Tools Apps)" and Camera Color Counter (Keuwsoft) at maximum light sensitivity in the automatic white balance mode at a fixed distance from the sample. Image processing was carried out using ImageJ and Origin Pro. Spectra of bacterial luminescence and its dynamics over time were measured using an LOMO MDR-23 spectrometer in the range of 200–750 nm. Results. The results of the study prove that in aqueous or solid agar and also on cellulose cotton medium, the intensity of bioluminescence of P. phosphoreum gradually increases, reaching a maximum within approximately 2 days, after which it slowly fades. It was established that the bioluminescence of photobacterium P. phosphoreum is a non-stationary process and has characteristic features of temporal dynamics associated with both the dynamics of the oxygen concentration in the environment of bacterial suspensions and the dynamics of the bacterial population density. Analysis of the luminescence spectra of bacteria shows that luminescence occurs mainly in the blue and green regions of the spectrum with luminescence maxima in the range of 460–520 nm, but the ultra-weak glow is also registered in the UV and red spectral ranges. The variability of photobacterial luminescence spectra over time in the spectral ranges of the main luminophores causes color fluctuations between the blue and green ranges. Conclusions. The key parameters of multi-day background and short-term induced bioluminescence dynamics of photobacteria in different environments were clarified, and the certain variability of the spectral characteristics of luminescent radiation over time was shown. The revealed features of the dynamics of the bioluminescence of P. phosphoreum must be taken into account in practical application to assess the toxicity of substances of various nature, as well as in environmental monitoring.

The phase field method coupled with molecular dynamics parameter for simulating phase separation behavior of SBS modified asphalt

Polymer-modified asphalt is a thermodynamically unstable system, in which the polymer and asphalt are prone to phase separation. Due to the inadequacy of characterization methods for phase separation, this field has not been thoroughly understood or explored. This paper introduces an innovative methodology by employing a simulation approach that couples phase-field theory with molecular dynamics parameters. Using SBS polymer-modified asphalt as an example, validate the method's applicability and establish a more precise parameter library for the phase separation field model of SBS-modified asphalt. The phase separation process of SBS-modified asphalt was simulated. In combination with fluorescence microscopy experiments, the evolution of the micro and meso-phase states of the modified asphalt over time was established and tracked. Results indicate that higher light component content and lower heavy component content in asphalt improve its compatibility. Migration coefficients and interaction parameters for the phase field model were determined, and a more accurate correction factor for the entropy contribution of SBS-modified asphalt was estimated. The phase-field model shows that higher light component content and lower heavy component content result in slower and smaller phase separation, leading to better compatibility. The combined phase field and molecular dynamics simulations accurately reproduce experimental findings from fluorescence microscopy, providing theoretical references for studying phase separation in polymers.

Improving evapotranspiration partitioning by integrating satellite vegetation parameters into a land surface model

Land evapotranspiration (ET) primarily involves vegetation transpiration, canopy interception loss, and soil evaporation. Previous studies have made significant progress in total ET estimation; however, substantial challenges remain in partitioning ET on a regional scale, largely due to the intricate water and energy balance that is disrupted by vegetation cover changes. The accuracy of land surface models in representing ET components may be constrained by their inadequate consideration of vegetation dynamics. In this study, we integrate satellite leaf area index (LAI) and fraction of vegetation coverage (FVC) into the Variable Infiltration Capacity model (VIC) to improve ET partitioning ability in the Loess Plateau of China, a region that has experienced substantial vegetation dynamics. The results showed that satellite dynamic vegetation parameters in modeling are effective in improving the estimation of ET components compared with the default/static vegetation parameters. Considering LAI dynamics in the model enhances the representation of the inter- and intra-annual variations in vegetation transpiration and canopy interception loss. Dynamic FVC reasonably allocates transpiration to soil evaporation, capturing evaporation in forest gaps effectively. This effect is particularly relevant in arid and semi-arid regions. Among the ET components, transpiration was the most sensitive to the two dynamic vegetation parameters, followed by canopy interception loss and soil evaporation. Through the VIC model with dynamic vegetation parameters, our study revealed that soil evaporation was twice that of transpiration in the Loess Plateau, which is consistent with its semi-arid region and relatively sparse vegetation coverage. Our study offers valuable insights regarding the use of vegetation coverage for partitioning ET and highlights the advantage of integrating satellite vegetation products into land surface models.

A dynamic simulation model for building cooling and heating energy considering climate-building system-occupant interactions

Residential buildings have a significant potential for energy conservation. The building energy consumption process is a complex system influenced by several factors at climate, building system, and occupant levels. This study introduces a novel model based on a multi-agent system to systematically integrate these multiple influencing factors, simulate their interactions, and estimate the resultant cooling and heating energy with dynamic variations over years considered. The automatic dynamic energy simulation was conducted over 30 years considering four temporal parameters (i.e., outdoor temperature, heat transfer coefficient of the building envelope, household type, and behavior pattern of occupants). A case building was used to validate the model, and the dynamic annual results were quite different from the static ones. The dynamic cumulative cooling energy consumption during 31 years was 0.69 % lower than the static one, whereas dynamic cumulative heating energy was 7.53 % higher compared with static energy. It highlighted the importance of considering dynamic multi-agent interactions. Besides, the roles of multiple energy influencing factors and dynamic parameters were compared and discussed. This study provides critical insights into improving building energy performance and offers a rapid and automatic approach for dynamic energy simulation.

Stock assessment of rosy barb, Pethia conchonius (Hamilton, 1822) in Dal Lake of Kashmir Himalayas

For management of fish stocks, assessing the various parameters of population dynamics are regarded as being extremely important. Under this backdrop the population dynamics parameters viz. growth, mortality and recruitment of Pethia conchonius, inhabiting the Dal Lake of Kashmir Himalayas were analysed using FiSAT II software. The analysed specimens were collected from five different sites within the lake and exhibited a total weight range of 0.3 to 6.4 g and a total length range of 3.1 to 7.8 cm. The relative condition factor for the fish was reported to be 1.11. The growth parameter i.e., asymptotic length, age at zero length, growth performance index and growth constant were reported to be 10.0 cm, –0.75 years, 1.48 and 0.30 year–1 respectively. The total mortality of 1.49 year–1, consisting of natural mortality of 0.88 year–1 and fishing mortality of 0.61 year–1 was reported. An exploitation rate of 0.41 is suggestive of a less exploited state of the fish. The length at first maturity was found to be higher than the length at first capture, a condition that can disturb the stock, as such the utility of a net with relatively larger mesh size is advisable. The current research on the population dynamics of P. conchonius can be used as the baseline data for its management practices.

Thermophysical-mechanical behaviors of hot dry granite subjected to thermal shock cycles and dynamic loadings

Exploring dynamic mechanical responses and failure behaviors of hot dry rock (HDR) is significant for geothermal exploitation and stability assessment. In this study, via the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system, a series of dynamic compression tests were conducted on granite treated by cyclic thermal shocks at different temperatures. We analyzed the effects of cyclic thermal shock on the thermal-related physical and dynamic mechanical behaviors of granite. Specifically, the P-wave velocity, dynamic strength, and elastic modulus of the tested granite decrease with increasing temperature and cycle number, while porosity and peak strain increase. The degradation law of dynamic mechanical properties could be described by a cubic polynomial. Cyclic thermal shock promotes shear cracks propagation, causing dynamic failure mode of granite to transition from splitting to tensile-shear composite failure, accompanied by surface spalling and debris splashing. Moreover, the thermal shock damage evolution and coupled failure mechanism of tested granite are discussed. The evolution of thermal shock damage with thermal shock cycle numbers shows an obvious S-shaped surface, featured by an exponential correlation with dynamic mechanical parameters. In addition, with increasing thermal shock temperature and cycles, granite mineral species barely change, but the length and width of thermal cracks increase significantly. The non-uniform expansion of minerals, thermal shock-induced cracking, and water-rock interaction are primary factors for deteriorating dynamic mechanical properties of granite under cyclic thermal shock.

The Dynamic Stability and Performance Implications of Piston-to-Turboprop Engine Modernization of a Light Aircraft for General Aviation

ABSTRACT This paper explores the influence of engine modernization on the dynamic stability and performance of a general aviation aircraft. Utilizing an integral mathematical model, the study conducts a comparative analysis of the I-23 Manager piston-engine aircraft and its modified I-31T turboprop version, examining changes in aircraft dynamics depending on the power plant type. The modernization necessitated a redesign of the nose section of the fuselage, resulting in alterations to the external shape and flight properties of the aircraft. The research evaluates various dynamic stability parameters, including phugoid, short period, Dutch roll, roll, and spiral modes, under different flight conditions. Results indicate minimal changes in aerodynamic characteristics due to the engine type, yet significant improvements are observed in efficiency, noise reduction, and operational costs. The impact of the propulsion unit on the dynamic stability of the light aircraft was assessed as insignificant, suggesting that the strategy of modernizing an existing piston-driven aircraft by switching to a turboprop drive is indeed promising. With appropriate initial design assumptions, a modern turbine aircraft with strong flight qualities can be efficiently modernized in this way, without compromising the good flying properties of the existing plane. The outcomes are validated against flight tests, reinforcing the viability of integrating more sustainable and efficient propulsion systems into light aircraft. This study may therefore inform future design and regulatory decisions, providing a perspective on the implications of engine upgrades in the general aviation sector.

True triaxial modeling test of high-sidewall underground caverns subjected to dynamic disturbances

Seismicity resulting from the near- or in-field fault activation significantly affects the stability of large-scale underground caverns that are operating under high-stress conditions. A comprehensive scientific assessment of the operational safety of such caverns requires an in-depth understanding of the response characteristics of the rock mass subjected to dynamic disturbances. To address this issue, we conducted true triaxial modeling tests and dynamic numerical simulations on large underground caverns to investigate the impact of static stress levels, dynamic load parameters, and input directions on the response characteristics of the surrounding rock mass. The findings reveal that: (1) When subjected to identical incident stress waves and static loads, the surrounding rock mass exhibits the greatest stress response during horizontal incidence. When the incident direction is fixed, the mechanical response is more pronounced at the cavern wall parallel to the direction of dynamic loading. (2) A high initial static stress level specifically enhances the impact of dynamic loading. (3) The response of the surrounding rock mass is directly linked to the amplitude of the incident stress wave. High amplitude results in tensile damage in regions experiencing tensile stress concentration under static loading and shear damage in regions experiencing compressive stress concentration. These results have significant implications for the evaluation and prevention of dynamic disasters in the surrounding rock of underground caverns experiencing dynamic disturbances.

Teleparallel gravity and quintessence: The role of nonminimal boundary couplings

In this paper, we have outlined the development of an autonomous dynamical system within a general scalar-tensor gravity framework. This framework encompasses the overall structure of the non-minimally coupled scalar field functions for both the torsion scalar (T) and the boundary term (B). We have examined three well-motivated forms of potential functions and constrained the model parameters through dynamical system analysis. This analysis has played a crucial role in identifying cosmologically viable models. We have analysed the behaviour of dynamical parameters such as equation-of-state parameters, as well all the standard density parameters for radiation, matter, and dark energy to assess their compatibility with current observational data. The phase space diagrams are presented to support the stability conditions of the corresponding critical points. The Universe is apparent in its late-time cosmic acceleration phase via the dark energy-dominated critical points. Additionally, we compare our findings with the most prevailing ΛCDM model. The outcomes are further inspected using the cosmological data sets of Supernovae Ia and the Hubble rate H(z).

Distributed Output-Feedback Asymptotic Consensus Tracking for High-Order Multiagent Systems With Quantized Input.

This article is devoted to distributed adaptive asymptotic consensus tracking control based on output feedback for the uncertain high-order multiagent systems with input quantization. Compared with the output-feedback canonical form, the system takes unmeasured states-dependent nonlinearities into account and also includes unknown parameters and quantized input. The improved K -filters with one dynamic gain are constructed to dispose the unmeasured states-dependent nonlinearities and estimate the unknown states. Then, the novel recursive control strategy with the aid of new first-order dynamic parameter filters is proposed, which is able to effectively counteract the filter errors and steer the consensus tracking errors to zero asymptotically with low design complexity. Moreover, the new funnel variable combined with prespecified time performance function is first introduced, which can predefine practical transition time and maximum overshoot of consensus error. Finally, simulation results are presented to illustrate the validity and superiority of the proposed scheme.

Possibilities to evaluate the vehicle pre-collision travel velocity in the case of a frontal impact with a fixed object, through numerical modelling

Abstract The present paper evaluates, from a physical-mathematical perspective, the pre-collision travel speed of a vehicle, in the case of a frontal impact with a rigid, fixed pole-type obstacle. The evaluation considers both energy methods and deformation coefficients, taking into account the parameters resulting from the primary investigation of the accident site. The reconstruction of such road accidents aims to determine the kinematic parameters that influence the behavior of the involved vehicle, and to allow the analysis of avoidance possibilities of such events. The developed working algorithm can be applied to solve a large number of road accident cases by changing the input data and to obtain the necessary kinematic and dynamic parameters for the accident reconstruction process. Thus, it is possible to establish the dynamics of such road traffic events, which facilitates the assessment and comparison of different conditions under study. The validation of the fore-mentioned reconstruction algorithm is performed by comparing the results obtained through numerical modelling with those determined experimentally. The relative error between the two is, as well, assessed.

Semantic-Aware Dynamic Generation Networks for Few-Shot Human-Object Interaction Recognition.

Recognizing human-object interaction (HOI) aims at inferring various relationships between actions and objects. Although great progress in HOI has been made, the long-tail problem and combinatorial explosion problem are still practical challenges. To this end, we formulate HOI as a few-shot task to tackle both challenges and design a novel dynamic generation method to address this task. The proposed approach is called semantic-aware dynamic generation networks (SADG-Nets). Specifically, SADG-Net first assigns semantic-aware task representations for different batches of data, which further generates dynamic parameters. It obtains the features that highlight intercategory discriminability and intracategory commonality adaptively. In addition, we also design a dual semantic-aware encoder module (DSAE-Module), that is, verb-aware and noun-aware branches, to yield both action and object prototypes of HOI for each task space, which generalizes to novel combinations by transferring similarities among interactions. Extensive experimental results on two benchmark datasets, that is, humans interacting with common objects (HICO)-FS and trento universal HOI (TUHOI)-FS, illustrate that our SADG-Net achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art approaches, which proves its impressive effectiveness on few-shot HOI recognition.

Unveiling the underlying physics of two-phase boiling heat transfer enhancement through shearing of coalescing bubbles

The upcoming energy scarcity problem has driven research toward developing energy-efficient two-phase heat exchangers essential for various cooling applications. This research is rooted in the principles of pool boiling, essential for effective heat transfer in various heat exchangers. A well-known reported problem in heat exchangers is the dry-out phenomena of heated surfaces due to bubble coalescence. To tackle this undesirable problem, an innovative technique has been introduced in this study, which involves the shearing of bubbles through liquid jet impingement over the heated surface. The study has been carried out in a two-dimensional domain numerically, in the wall superheat range of 9–16 K. To study the underlying physics involved in this pool boiling phenomenon, the bubble dynamics parameters such as departure frequency, bubble diameter, cold spot (bubble base) temperature, and vapor volume fraction have been analyzed. The results show that with the jet shearing effect, a maximum enhancement of 25% in heat transfer rate is observed at higher wall superheat. The investigation also highlights that the liquid jet enhances vapor volume fraction, indicating enhanced steam generation, particularly an enhancement of 27% observed at elevated wall superheat. An early onset necking effect is also observed with the shearing effect, which leads to the formation of smaller bubbles with higher departure frequencies. This study is a benchmark to the fundamental physics of enhancing two-phase heat transfer through bubble shearing, offering promising insights for energy conservation in two-phase heat exchanger design, particularly within the context of pool boiling.

Vertical Track–Bridge Interaction in Railway Bridges with Ballast Superstructure: Experimental Analysis of Dynamic Stiffness and Damping Behavior

Realistic vibration predictions of railway bridges during high-speed train crossings require reliable dynamic input parameters for the applied calculation model. In particular, the dynamic stiffness and damping properties of the ballast superstructure for the mathematical consideration of the vertical track–bridge interaction (TBI) significantly influence the generated calculation results. However, due to a striking scattering of model-related characteristic values available in the literature, adequate and realistic consideration of the dynamic properties of the vertical TBI in vibration predictions is associated with considerable uncertainties. This uncertainness illustrates the need to determine experimental-based and reliable characteristic values. For targeted and isolated research of dynamic characteristics of vertical TBI, a unique large-scale test facility was developed at the Institute of Structural Engineering at TU Wien, which replicates a section of ballast superstructure on a railway bridge on a scale of 1:1 and excited to vertical movements. This paper presents the essential results and findings from the experiments, focusing on determining the ballast superstructure’s dynamic stiffness and damping characteristics, which can subsequently be implemented in practical applications for vibration predictions. As a result of the experiments, model-related dynamic stiffness and damping parameters are provided to describe the vertical TBI. In addition, the experiments are used to identify destabilization processes occurring in the ballast superstructure as a result of vertical vibrations. The investigations include the vertical TBI’s displacement and acceleration behavior and the track’s settlement behavior due to the entire structure’s vertical movements. These investigations allow for assessing the currently valid, internationally, and nationally normatively prescribed permissible accelerations for railway bridges due to train crossings. The conclusion is that short-term excessive vertical accelerations of the ballast superstructure caused by train passage do not destabilize the ballast bed or considerably change the track position.
