Fault-tolerant shortest connection topology design for formation control

This paper studies the fault tolerant formation keeping problem of multi-agent systems with consideration of shortest connection topology. This is motivated by the requirement of low communication cost which largely depends on the communication length. Given a formation shape, a connection topology design method and its reconfiguration strategy are proposed in the sense that the whole connection path is shortest despite of communication faults. A control framework that combines the individual formation controller of each agent and connection topology is further presented. The stability of the whole system process is analyzed by switched system theories. Simulation results of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.     

Dielectrophoresis in aqueous suspension: impact of electrode configuration

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) allows to moving neutral or charged particles in liquids by supplying a non-uniform electric field. When using alternating current and insulated electrodes, this is possible in conducting media such as aqueous solutions. However, relatively high field strength is required that is discussed to induce also an undesired Joule heating effect. In this paper, we demonstrate boundary conditions for avoiding this side effect and suggest a novel design of an interdigitated electrode (IDE) configuration to reduce the power consumption. Numerical simulation using OpenFOAM demonstrated that, when replacing conventional plate IDE by cylindrical micro-IDE in microchannel systems, the dielectrophoretic force field, i.e., the electric field gradient squared, becomes stronger and more homogeneously distributed along the electrodes array. Also the resulting particle DEP velocities were highest for the cylindrical IDE. The simulations were experimentally confirmed by measuring velocity of resin particle located at the subsurface of demineralized water. Surprisingly the fluid flow induced by electrothermal effect turned out to be negligible in microchannels when compared to the DEP effect and becomes dominant only for distances between particle and IDE larger than 6,000 μm. The well-agreed experimental and simulation results allow for predicting particle motion. This can be expected to pave the way for designing DEP microchannel separators with high throughput and low energy consumption.     

Observer-based networked control with probabilistic interval input delays

In this paper, the problem of observer-based control is investigated for networked control systems (NCSs) with probabilistic interval distribution communication delays. In the presence of network-induced delays and packet dropouts in the sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator connections, a new model for an observer-based NCS is established, which is then converted to an equivalent linear system with two random time-varying delays satisfying Bernoulli distributions. By utilizing information concerning the probability distribution of the delays and by adopting a tighter bounding technique, less conservative asymptotic mean-square stable sufficient conditions are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

[Zn(BDC)(H2O)2]n: a novel blue luminescent coordination polymer constructed from BDC-bridged 1-D chains via interchain hydrogen bonds (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate)

A novel coordination polymer [Zn(BDC)(H₂O)₂]_n 1 (where BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a=15.09(2) Å, b=5.058(7) Å, c=12.196(16) Å, β=103.62(2)°, , Z=4. The most striking feature of 1 is that it consists of a high-dimensional network structure constructed from BDC-bridged 1-D chains via interchain hydrogen bonds. The coordination sphere of the zinc(II) ion is a distorted tetrahedron completed by four oxygen atoms from two water molecules and two BDC ligands. BDC adopts the bis-monodentated (syn–anti) coordination mode linking two adjacent zinc(II) ions. 1 shows strong blue photoluminescence as the result of the fluorescence from the intraligand emission excited state.

Cure kinetics of T700/BMI prepreg used for advanced thermoset composite

A new isothermally based, cure kinetic model for the prepreg was presented using an industrially supplied prepreg rather than pure resin. The matrix resin was bismaleimide (BMI) resins, and the reinforcement was carbon fiber T700–12S. The BMI prepreg was measured from 170 to 220°C by isothermal DSC. The isothermal cure reaction heat increases with the increment of cure temperature. The DSC data were analyzed by the proposed nth‐order reaction model. An increase in reaction rate was observed at higher temperature in both neat and prepreg. After reaching the peak value, the reaction rate dropped off faster in prepreg, resulting in a lower average value of the ultimate heat of reaction. It was suggested the presence of carbon fiber had an effect on the cure kinetics as a heat sink. The carbon fibers imposed restrictions on the molecular mobility of the reactive species and did not change the cure mechanism. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 97: 2238–2241, 2005
