Short‐Term Morphology Relaxation of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomers after Fast Strain Steps

Strain steps are applied to elastomers in a pneumatic relaxometer and monitored by small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). The relaxometer provides a rise time of 13 ms for strain pulses of step height Δε = ±1 in strain. The basic character of the 2D SAXS frames is examined and corresponding invariants Q(t) are analyzed. Three thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) of hardness 85 Shore A with different soft segments are studied both unannealed and annealed. The first response of all materials is a fast morphology conversion which finishes within t_mc =250 ms. Because it has been untraceable, it is characterized by a settling stroke Q(t_mc) ? Q(0). The second response is a slow morphology adjustment process which complies with logarithmic relaxation. It is characterized by a relaxation rate D_Q = Q(10 t)/Q(t) ? 1. Comparison indicates that the nanoscopic morphology relaxation processes appear to have little direct relation to the macroscopic stress relaxation curves. The materials differ with respect to hard‐domain morphology stability and morphology recovery. Most unstable is the morphology of the annealed polyether‐based material. It forms nanofibrillary entities when strained.     

Mode-dependent stochastic stability criteria of fuzzy Markovian jumping neural networks with mixed delays

This paper investigates the stochastic stability of fuzzy Markovian jumping neural networks with mixed delays in mean square. The mixed delays include time-varying delay and continuously distributed delay. By using the Lyapunov functional method, Jensen integral inequality, the generalized Jensen integral inequality, linear convex combination technique and the free-weight matrix method, several novel sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point of the considered networks in mean square. The proposed results, which do not require the differentiability of the activation functions, can be easily checked via Matlab software. Finally, two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and less conservativeness of our theoretical results over existing literature.     

Passivity-based non-fragile control for Markovian jump delayed systems via stochastic sampling

This paper studies the problem of non-fragile passive control for Markovian jump delayed systems via stochastic sampling. The Markovian jumping parameters, appearing in the connection weight matrices and in two additive time-varying delay components, are considered to be different. The controller is assumed to have either additive or multiplicative norm-bounded uncertainties. The sampled-data with stochastic sampling is used to design the controller by a discontinuous Lyapunov functional. This functional fully utilises the sawtooth structure characteristics of the sampling input delay. By using the matrix decomposition method and some newly inequalities, sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee that for all admissible uncertainties the system is robustly stochastically passive. Illustrative examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the results.     

Investigation of coalesced droplet vertical jumping and horizontal moving on textured surface using the lattice Boltzmann method

The coalesced droplet vertical jumping and horizontal moving on conical posts textured surface are numerically studied using the three-dimensional (3D) multi-relaxation-time (MRT) pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann model. The influences of wettability gradient and roughness gradient are investigated systematically. It is found that the coalesced droplet on the flat and conical posts textured surfaces can move horizontally from superhydrophobic bend to hydrophobic bend without the roughness gradient. Moreover, the coalesced droplet is able to spontaneously move from lower conical post density region to higher conical post density region without the wettability gradient. Specifically, the in-line array textured surface is more beneficial to the coalesced droplet horizontal moving than the staggered array at the same wettability parameter. However, the staggered array textured surface is more beneficial to the coalesced droplet vertical jumping than the in-line array. The hybrid effect of wettability gradient and roughness gradient plays critical roles in coalesced droplet vertical jumping and horizontal moving. The present work demonstrates that the dropwise condensation heat transfer can be enhanced in a self-sustained manner if the wettability and roughness of the textured surface are properly designed. It is also confirmed that the 3D MRT pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann model is of potential to simulate coalesced droplet behaviors on textured surface.     

Sliding mode control for Markovian jumping systems with actuator nonlinearities

This article considers the design of sliding mode control for stochastic Markovian jumping systems with actuator nonlinearities. In the design of integral sliding surfaces, a set of specified matrices are employed such that the connections among sliding surfaces corresponding to each mode are established. And then, a sliding mode controller depending on the transition rates is synthesised such that the reachability of the specified sliding surface can be ensured. Moreover, sufficient conditions for the stability of the sliding motions are derived. It is shown that the effect of Markovian switching can be coped with by the present sliding mode control method. Finally, the simulation results illustrating the proposed method are provided.     

Passivity analysis of neural networks with two different Markovian jumping parameters and mixed time delays

This paper studies the problem of passivity analysis for neural networks with two different Markovian jumping parameters and mixed time delays utilizing some integral inequalities. The integral inequalities produce sharper bounds than what the Jensen's inequality produces, consequently, better results are obtained. The Markovian jumping parameters in connection weight matrices and discrete delay are assumed to be different in the system model. By constructing a new appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF), some sufficient conditions are established which guarantee the passivity of the proposed model. Numerical examples are given to show the less conservatism and effectiveness of the proposed method.

反对称角铺设复合材料层合板热后屈曲和模态跃迁分析

为有效分析反对称角铺设复合材料层压板热后屈曲性能,由渐近修正几何非线性理论推导双耦合四阶偏微分方程（即协调方程和动态控制方程）,通过双Fourier级数将耦合非线性控制偏微分方程转换为系列非线性常微分方程,从而获得相对简单的求解方法。使用广义Galerkin方法求解与角交铺设复合层合板相关的边界值问题,研究了模态跃迁前后不同复杂程度的后屈曲模式。通过四边简支、面内不可移边界下复合层合板的数值计算表明：该解析法与有限元方法在主后屈曲区域的计算结果有很好的吻合性;有限元方法在解靠近二次分岔点时失去收敛性,而解析法仍具有深入探索后屈曲区域和准确捕捉模态跃迁现象的能力。
