Explicit numerical simulation of suspension flow with deposition in porous media: influence of local flow field variation on deposition processes predicted by trajectory methods

A new explicit numerical simulation (ENS) method based on lattice-gas automata (LGA) is introduced here for the flow of solid/fluid suspensions with deposition in porous media. The ENS method explicitly resolves the dynamics of the individual solid particles and the suspending fluid in the domain defined by the pore walls and solid particle surfaces. After describing the new method, it is applied to the study of solid/fluid suspension flow with deposition in a constriction and in a model random porous solid. This study clearly demonstrates that the deposits strongly influence the local flow fields, which in turn affect the deposition process indicating that this interplay should be modelled if accurate results are desired from trajectory methods.     

Modeling and global trajectory tracking control for an over-actuated MAV

This paper deals with an original micro aerial vehicle (MAV) design, the Omnicopter MAV. It has two central coaxial rotors with fixed-pitch propellers and three perimeter mounted ducted fans with servo motors performing thrust vectoring. Compared with traditional rotary wing MAVs that have inherent underactuation, the Omnicopter possesses some advantages in mobility, for example, lateral translation with zero attitude and hover with nonzero attitude. The trajectory tracking control design, global stability analysis, and control allocation are demonstrated through numerical simulation. The advantage of zero attitude translation is illustrated through experimental results.     

基于轨迹频率抑制的轨迹隐私保护方法

移动终端和定位技术的快速发展带来了轨迹大数据.研究者通过挖掘和分析发布的轨迹数据集,可获得一些有价值的信息.攻击者也可利用所掌握的知识对发布的轨迹数据集进行推理分析,以较高的概率推断出用户的隐私信息.轨迹抑制是一类实现隐私保护的重要方法,然而轨迹抑制的点数越多会造成数据效用越低.因此,在满足用户隐私需求的情况下,如何选择合理的抑制点来提高匿名处理后的数据效用是数据发布中要解决的重要问题.针对以上问题,文中提出两种基于轨迹频率的方案对轨迹数据进行匿名处理.第一种方案是根据情况抑制整条有问题的轨迹数据或向有问题的轨迹数据集中添加假数据;第二种方案是采用特定的轨迹局部抑制法对数据进行抑制处理.实验表明相对于已有方案,在满足同等隐私需求的情况下,文中方案处理后的数据效用提升了近30%.

Underactuated fingers controlled by robust and adaptive trajectory following methods

Choosing an appropriate control scheme to alleviate nonlinearities and uncertainties is not a trivial task, especially when models are not easily available and practical evaluation provides the only means for actual performance assessment. Various factors can contribute to these nonlinearities and uncertainties, such as friction and stiction. Thus, this article investigates four different control schemes, namely PID, adaptive, conventional sliding mode control (SMC) and integral sliding mode control (ISMC) which are implemented in the Bristol Elumotion Robot Hand (BERUL) to analyse and overcome the aforementioned problems. The hand has five fingers with 16 joints and all fingers are underactuated. The implementation of the proposed control schemes are challenging since the BERUL fingers have significant friction, stiction and unknown parameters. The fingers are light in weight and fragile. Comparative performance characteristics have shown that the ISMC is the most suitable candidate to provide good experimental trajectory following and positioning control for underactuated BERUL fingers.     

Fuzzy PID control of space manipulator for both ground alignment and space applications

Considering gravity change from ground alignment to space applications, a fuzzy proportional-integral-differential (PID) control strategy is proposed to make the space manipulator track the desired trajectories in different gravity environments. The fuzzy PID controller is developed by combining the fuzzy approach with the PID control method, and the parameters of the PID controller can be adjusted on line based on the ability of the fuzzy controller. Simulations using the dynamic model of the space manipulator have shown the effectiveness of the algorithm in the trajectory tracking problem. Compared with the results of conventional PID control, the control performance of the fuzzy PID is more effective for manipulator trajectory control.     

Stabilization And Tracking Of Underactuated Surface Vessels In Random Waves With Fin Based On Adaptive Hierarchical Sliding Mode Technique

Trajectory tracking and roll stabilization are both vital practices in ship motion control. Trajectory tracking is a kind of low‐frequency control, while roll stabilization by means of fins is a kind of high‐frequency control. However, they have been studied separately previously; most tracking control of underactuated surface vessels in the previous studies do not account for roll stabilization by means of fins. In reality, however, they are an integral system. In this paper, a simple control strategy is proposed to achieve trajectory tracking and fin roll stabilization simultaneously. Four degrees of freedom derived from a six degrees of freedom mathematical model of a surface vessel is considered, including surge, sway, roll and yaw. Surge force, roll moment and yaw moment are considered as control inputs, while position, yaw angle and roll angle are controlled. The number of control inputs is fewer than the outputs to be controlled. Therefore, we are dealing with an underactuated problem. An adaptive hierarchical sliding mode control technique is employed to deal with the underactuation. Stabilization of underactuated surface vessels is studied as a special case. Random waves are applied to test the robustness of the designed controllers. Lyapunov stability theory is used to show the stability of closed‐loop system. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
