This paper proposes a sequential design scheme for switching ℌ∞ LPV (Linear Parameter-Varying) control, aiming to reduce the computational complexity of the associated optimization problem. Different from the traditional approach that simultaneously designs switching LPV controllers and solves a high-dimensional optimization problem, the proposed sequential design approach renders a bundle of low-dimensional optimization problems to be solved iteratively. Individual ℌ∞ LPV controller for each subregion is synthesized by independent PLMIs (Parametric Linear Matrix Inequalities) to guarantee ℌ∞ performance, and controller variables are interpolated on the overlapped subregions such that the ℌ∞ performance is also guaranteed on the overlapped subregion. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method to reduce the computational load in each design iteration and improved ℌ∞ performance over the conventional simultaneous design method with well-tuned interpolation coefficient.
The mechanical properties of three different commercially available closed cell Al alloys all made by foam casting are examined. The objective is to assess the roles of cell morphology and of imperfections in governing the basic properties: stiffness, yield strength and fracture resistance. This assessment provides goals for manufacturing strategies that enable attainment of good mechanical performance with affordable process technologies. A prevalent role of curves and wiggles in the cell walls on stiffness and strength (anticipated by models) is affirmed by the present measurements. Systematically larger stiffnesses and yield strengths found in tension than in compression are consistent with a prominent role exerted by such imperfections. Moreover, foam casting is apparently capable of cell morphologies that impart properties approaching the best achievable values for an isotropic closed cell solid, devoid of imperfections. There are associated implications for performance and affordability. Fracture measurements indicate crack growth occurring along the cell walls by a mechanism analogous to the plastic tearing of thin sheets. The crack growth resistances are in the range of 1 kJm−2. This mechanism infers a toughness that scales with the cell wall thickness and its yield strength. 相似文献
This imaging technique is used for approximate interpretation of TEM data including ungrounded loopsource and grounded line source soundings.Loop source data can be collected as central-loop soundings or asout-of-loop soundings with a short or long offset configuration.The imaging method is based on the same princi-ple as that employed by Fullager(1989),with apparent resistivities computed directly from time-derivative data,db/d,and then associated with depths according to image theory. 相似文献
The rapid growth of video data demands both effective and efficient video summarization methods so that users are empowered to quickly browse and comprehend a large amount of video content. In this paper, we formulate the video summarization task with a novel minimum sparse reconstruction (MSR) problem. That is, the original video sequence can be best reconstructed with as few selected keyframes as possible. Different from the recently proposed convex relaxation based sparse dictionary selection method, our proposed method utilizes the true sparse constraint L0 norm, instead of the relaxed constraint L2,1 norm, such that keyframes are directly selected as a sparse dictionary that can well reconstruct all the video frames. An on-line version is further developed owing to the real-time efficiency of the proposed MSR principle. In addition, a percentage of reconstruction (POR) criterion is proposed to intuitively guide users in obtaining a summary with an appropriate length. Experimental results on two benchmark datasets with various types of videos demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform the state of the art. 相似文献
