Precise identification of moving vehicular parameters based on improved glowworm swarm optimization algorithm

This paper proposes an indirect method for the identification of moving vehicular parameters using the dynamic responses of the vehicle. The moving vehicle is modelled as 2-DOF system with 5 parameters and 4-DOF system with 12 parameters, respectively. Finite element method is used to establish the equation of the coupled bridge–vehicle system. The dynamic responses of the system are calculated by Newmark direct integration method. The parameter identification problem is transformed into an optimization problem by minimizing errors between the calculated dynamic responses of the moving vehicle and those of the simulated measured responses. Glowworm swarm optimization algorithm (GSO) is used to solve the objective function of the optimization problem. A local search method is introduced into the movement phase of GSO to enhance the accuracy and convergence rate of the algorithm. Several test cases are carried out to verify the efficiency of the proposed method and the results show that the vehicular parameters can be identified precisely with the present method and it is not sensitive to artificial measurement noise.     

Direct numerical simulations for assessment of gas-solid drag models in two-dimensional random arrays of particles

The momentum exchange between the phases plays a vital role in modelling of gas–solid flows and it is mathematically described by drag models. However, no consensus exists on which drag model gives the most accurate prediction of the drag force, and, despite the increase in available computing power, the same drag models are used in two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulations. In this study, direct numerical simulations of gas flow through multiple random configurations of static monodisperse particles are performed. The variations of solid volume fraction and particle Reynolds number are in the ranges of 0.05–0.4 and 13.7–136.9, respectively. The drag force exerted on particles is calculated and properly averaged. Based on the simulation results, thirteen drag models are compared and correction factors are introduced using the stochastic gradient descent algorithm. The correction factors provide a simple adjustment for the models to be used in 2D modelling.

A systematic approach to improve multiple Lyapunov function stability and stabilization conditions for fuzzy systems

This paper presents a systematic approach for decreasing conservativeness in stability analysis and control design for Takagi-Sugeno (TS) systems. This approach is based on the idea of multiple Lyapunov functions together with simple techniques for introducing slack matrices. Unlike some previous approaches based on multiple Lyapunov functions, both the stability and the stabilization conditions are written as linear matrix inequality (LMI) problems. The proposed approach reduces the number of inequalities and guarantees extra degrees of freedom to the LMI problems. Numeric examples illustrate the effectiveness of this method.     

Re-engineering of the design process for concurrent engineering

According to the requirements of concurrent engineering, three interdependency relationships (uncoupled relationship, coupled relationship and decoupled relationship) between design activities are presented in this paper. And the coupled relationship plays an important role in concurrent product design process. To represent the precedence relationships among design activities, a directed graph is used to describe the design process. And the interdependency relationship between activities is illustrated by a Design Structure Matrix which is the transpose of the accessibility matrix of the corresponding graph. Using the DSM, an algorithm of recognizing the coupled activities during the design process is presented. Moreover, an algorithm to figure out the order levels of activities during the design process is proposed. And both algorithms are illustrated with a die design example.

给出了Shamir三次传递协议的一种新的实现方案.与已有的基于离散对数问题的实现方案不同,它是基于在特定的非交换壹半群(m,·)中,由A和B＝x·A·y求解x和y的难度;为此我们选取有限域F2上的n×n矩阵在F2矩阵乘法下所构成的非交换壹半群作为研究的对象,利用F2上"遍历矩阵"的密码学特性,提出了一个基于F2上遍历矩阵的Shamir三次传递协议的实现方案,并对可能的攻击手段进行了分析.为了增加通讯的安全性,提出了"强壮矩阵"的概念,并对于给定的两个遍历矩阵Q1和Q2,给出了关于Q1,Q2的强壮矩阵的判别标准和寻找算法;利用<Q1>,<Q2>以及关于Q1,Q2的强壮矩阵m,可以构造一个单向(陷门)函数,基于该单向函数,可具体实现Shamir三次传递协议、Diffie-Hellman密钥交换协议以及常规的公钥密码.     

An LMI approach to constrained optimization with homogeneous forms

This paper considers the problem of determining the minimum Euclidean distance of a point from a polynomial surface in . It is well known that this problem is in general non-convex. The main purpose of the paper is to investigate to what extent linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques can be exploited for solving this problem. The first result of the paper shows that a lower bound to the global minimum can be achieved via the solution of a one-parameter family of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is also pointed out that for some classes of problems the solution of a single LMI problem provides the lower bound. The second result concerns the tightness of the bound. It is shown that optimality of the lower bound amounts to solving a system of linear equations. An application example is finally presented to show the features of the approach.
