Forced consensus in networks of double integrator systems with delayed input

This communique presents forced second-order consensus protocols with communication time-delays for the network of agents with double integrator dynamics and gives a measure of the robustness of the protocols to the communication time-delays. By employing a frequency domain method, it is proven that the forced consensus is achieved asymptotically for appropriate time-delay if the network is connected. Particularly, the maximum fixed time-delay that can be tolerated by the network is found. The forced consensus protocols are distributed in the sense that each agent only needs information from its neighboring agents, which reduces the complexity of connections between agents significantly. Numerical simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and the sharpness of the theoretical results.

Disc cutters plane layout design of the full-face rock tunnel boring machine (TBM) based on different layout patterns

The quality of plane layout design of the disc cutters for the full-face rock tunnel boring machine (TBM) directly affects the balance of force distribution on the cutter head during the excavating. Various layout patterns have been adopted in practice during the layout design of the disc cutters. Considering the engineering technical requirements and the corresponding structure design requirements of the cutter head, this study formulates a nonlinear multi-objective mathematical model with multiple constraints for the disc cutters plane layout design, and analyses the characteristics of a multi-spiral layout pattern, a dynamic star layout pattern and a stochastic layout pattern. And then a genetic algorithm is employed to solve a disc cutters’ multi-spiral layout problem, and a cooperative co-evolutionary genetic algorithm (CCGA) is utilized to solve a disc cutters’ star or stochastic layout problems. The emphasis was put on the study of superiority of three different layout patterns. Finally, an instance of the disc cutters’ plane layout design was solved by the proposed methods using three different kinds of layout patterns. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of the method of combining the mathematical model with the algorithms, and the pros and cons of the three layout patterns.     

Design and simulations of a new biaxial silicon resonant micro-accelerometer

This paper presents a new biaxial silicon resonant micro-accelerometer. The device basically consists of a single proof mass, four pairs of decoupled beams, four lever mechanisms and two pairs of resonators, which provides 2-D in-plane acceleration measurement with the decoupled two pairs of resonators. Structure optimization is implemented by taking advantage of the finite element analyses. From the simulation results we can see that the effective frequencies of two acceleration sensitive modes are 1010.18 and 1010.13 Hz respectively, and the undesired modes and effective modes are isolated apparently. Additionally, high linear relationship between the input acceleration and the resonant frequency shifts of resonators are demonstrated by the input–output characteristic simulation. Moreover, simulation results reveal the scale factor for the x-axis is 180.03 Hz/g, and the scale factor for y-axis is 180.75 Hz/g, while the cross-axis sensitivity for x-axis is 0.046 Hz/g, and the cross-axis sensitivity for y-axis is 0.027 Hz/g. The high sensitivity and low cross-axis sensitivity are thus adequately confirmed. By the way, the simulation of temperature dependent characteristics demonstrate that the differential scheme can effectively suppress the influence of temperature variation, and the thermal analysis shows that the device can bear the thermal stress induced by temperature change. All these simulations above can verify the feasibility of the structure design.     

Propagator method for multiple-parameter estimation of LFM signal for conformal array antenna

A multiple parameter estimation method for the LFM signal for the conformal array antenna is presented. By employing the energy focusing property of certain-ordered-FRFT to the LFM signal, multiple components blended in received data are separated in the FRFT domain, and hence the simplified data model is acquired, because of which the complicated parameter match is avoided, and then the DOA and polarization estimation is performed by using the PM algorithm. Benefiting from the avoiding of parameter matching and high dimensional eigen-value decomposition, the complexity and computational burden of the algorithm is remarkably controlled. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has an approximate performance with a much lower computation burden than ESPRIT.
