Analysis and simulations of vibrations of a beam with a slider

A model for vibrations of a beam with a slider is derived, analysed and numerically simulated. It describes a viscoelastic beam that is clamped at one end to a vibrating device, while the other end moves between two stops attached to a slider. The contact is described by the normal compliance or by the Signorini conditions. The existence of weak solutions is established using the theory of set-valued pseudomonotone operators. The model is discretized using fourth-order spatial discretization, the solutions are numerically simulated and their results presented. The dynamics of the vibrations are depicted and so are the noise characteristics of the system.     

A Composite Index of Compliance for Chronic In‐Center Hemodialysis Patients

We developed a composite compliance index as the sum of the compliance scores for interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), pre‐dialysis serum potassium and phosphorus concentrations (each scored from zero to 3, with 3 indicating the poorest compliance), and skipping hemodialysis sessions (scored from zero to 9, with 9 indicating the poorest compliance). We used this composite score to prospectively evaluate compliance in 25 prevalent hemodialysis patients over a period of 1 year. We then followed these patients for another 3.5 years. The patients studied were divided into two groups: group A (poor compliance) consisted of 9 subjects with composite score ≥ 9 (13.2 ± 3.2); group B (better compliance) consisted of 16 subjects with composite score < 9 (4.7 ± 1.8). Age, duration of hemodialysis, and frequency of diabetes mellitus did not differ between the groups. Group A contained higher fractions of subjects with history of alcoholism (66.7% vs 12.5%, p = 0.010), other substance addiction (44.4% vs 0%, p = 0.010), and severe psychosocial problems (88.9% vs 18.8%, p = 0.002). Mean survival from the beginning of observation, estimated by actuarial life‐table survival analysis, was 1.19 years in group A and 2.60 years in group B (p = 0.0265). A composite compliance index incorporating domains indicating adherence to diet, medications, and dialysis schedule identified other behavioral problems in poorly compliant patients. Hemodialysis patients characterized by this composite index as poorly compliant had shortened survival.     

Linear viscoelastic properties of mixtures of 3- and 4-arm polybutadiene stars

The viscoelastic properties of a three-arm and a four-arm star polybutadiene with the same arm molecular weight (M_a) were studied. The zero-shear recoverable compliance (J⁰_e) and plateau modulus (G⁰_N) for these stars are the same. The zero-shear viscosity (η₀) of the three-arm star is 20% lower than that of the four-arm star. Mixtures of the stars had J⁰_e and G⁰_N unchanged. A $\text{50}\text{50}$ mixture of the three- and four-arm star was diluted with a low molecular weight linear polybutadiene. G⁰_N∝ø²; J⁰_e∝ø^?1 and M_e∝ø^?1, as expected for dilution with a θ-solvent.     

A novel logic-based automatic approach to constructing compliant security policies

It is significant to automatically detect and resolve the incompliance in security policy.Most existing works in this field focus on compliance verification,and few of them provide approaches to automatically correct the incompliant security policies.This paper proposes a novel approach to automatically transform a given security policy into a compliant one.Given security policy Π and delegation policy M declared by logic programs,the approach automatically rewrites Π into a new one ΠM which is compliant with M and is readable by the humans.We prove that the algorithm is sound and complete under noninterference assumption.Formally,we show that the security policy query evaluation algorithm with conflict and unsettlement resolution still works very well on ΠM.The approach is automatic,so it doesn’t require a administrator with excess abilities.In this sense,our proposal can help us to save much manpower resource in security management and improves the security assurance abilities.

Dynamic compensation by fusing a high-speed actuator and high-speed visual feedback with its application to fast peg-and-hole alignment

This paper presents a dynamic compensation concept to grapple with the dynamic defects of a traditional robot arm, especially while performing high-speed endpoint regulations. The proposed high-speed dynamic compensation concept offers a new point of view for cooperating with a traditional manipulator to realize highly dexterous performance of manipulations. The concept is realized through adoption of a high-speed light-weight actuator as well as endpoint closed loop configured high-speed cameras. The dynamic compensation is analyzed experimentally with 1000 Hz visual feedback and a high-speed finger for a robot arm in the case of one degree of freedom. The advantage of the proposed approach is that the modeling for the robot system’s dynamics is not needed, whereas it is necessary and trivial in order to realize high-speed regulations by traditional approaches. Thus, the control issue becomes easier with the proposed approach. As an application for this concept, fast peg-and-hole alignment with large position and attitude uncertainty is studied. The alignment algorithm is based on a visual compliance strategy. Alignment experiments show that with the proposed concept of dynamic compensation as well as visual compliant motion control, robust and fast convergence was realized for most cases.     

Reaching for redundant arms with human-like motion and compliance properties

This work proposes a redundant arm torque controller for reaching, guaranteeing desired completion time and accuracy requirements without the need for trajectory planning and prior knowledge of robot dynamics. The proposed controller is designed based on the prescribed performance control methodology and it is a reaching regulator in which the target pose for the hand acts as an attractor for the arm. It provides configuration consistency in return motions and hand and joint velocity smoothness. Its use in an admittance control scheme given measurements or estimates of external forces is also proposed providing active compliance capabilities in robot–environment interactions. Simulation studies for a 5dof human arm-like robot and experiments with a 7dof arm are performed to verify the approach and demonstrate the proposed controller’s performance.

基于裂缝柔度和地应力模型的声电测井正、反演方法及应用

电阻率成像探测深度通常为几厘米,超声波成像数据也只能提供井壁的声幅或到时图像。因此,很难评估井壁张开裂缝在地层中的分布情况。声波测井一般应用弹性各向异性表征地应力场和裂缝特性等,通常岩石的固有各向异性、高角度地层层面、裂缝或不平衡应力挤压等都可以导致弹性波表观各向异性,因此往往难以判断各向异性的成因。前人针对单一方位二维裂缝模型进行了声波正演模拟,但不适用于井筒含多组任意方位裂缝介质的弹性波模拟。为此,首先拾取井壁成像测井中导致声波表观各向异性的三类结构特征(天然裂缝、层面缝(或薄层)和钻井应力诱导缝)信息,同时定量化层理结构信息(如倾向、方位等),并将裂缝分层、分组;然后从声波全波列中提取地层的快、慢横波慢度及各向异性方位;接着在岩石和裂缝信息井壁成像建模基础上,通过裂缝附加柔度模型、层面伪裂缝模型和非线性应力场弹性波动理论正演模拟岩石的声波属性;最后通过对比声波速度及各向异性方位等信息的模型预测结果与实测结果,利用最小误差拟合反演确定井壁图像表征的裂缝类型与各向异性的成因,并对比、分析了频散曲线特征。将所提方法应用于花岗岩潜山裂缝型气田生产测试井以验证方法合理性,实际模拟结果表明：...
