Prediction of the effects on dynamic response due to distributed structural modification with additional degrees of freedom

The aim of this study is to investigate means of efficiently assessing the effects of distributed structural modification on the dynamic properties of a complex structure. The dynamic properties of the modified structure can be determined by experimental testing or numerical simulation, both of which are complex, expensive and time-consuming. Assuming that the original dynamic characteristics are already established and that the modification is a relatively simple attachment, the modified dynamic properties may be determined numerically without solving the equations of motion of the full-modified structure. The frequency response functions (FRFs) of the modified structure can be computed by coupling the original FRFs and a delta dynamic stiffness matrix for the modification introduced. The validity of this approach is investigated by applying it to a cantilever beam to which a smaller beam is attached as modification. The original FRFs were obtained experimentally as well as numerically. The delta dynamic stiffness matrix was determined numerically by modeling the attachment and part of the original structure including the attachment points. The FRFs of the modified beam were then computed. Good agreement is obtained by comparing the results to the FRFs of the modified beam determined experimentally as well as by numerical modeling of the complete modified structure.     

Dynamic averaging and foraging decisions in horses (Equus callabus).

The variability of most environments taxes foraging decisions by increasing the uncertainty of the information available. One solution to the problem is to use dynamic averaging, as do some granivores and carnivores. Arguably, the same strategy could be useful for grazing herbivores, even though their food renews and is more homogeneously distributed. Horses (Equus callabus) were given choices between variable patches after short or long delays. When patch information was current, horses returned to the patch that was recently best, whereas those without current information matched choices to the long-term average values of the patches. These results demonstrate that a grazing species uses dynamic averaging and indicate that, like granivores and carnivores, they can use temporal weighting to optimize foraging decisions.

Frequency response function of magnetic bearings using high-temperature superconductor

A high-temperature superconductor YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x with strong pinning force has allowed stable magnetic suspension with no control to be developed. Two types of superconducting magnetic bearings (SMB) using YBCO and permanent magnet were assembled. The two types are radial and axial. The dynamic stiffness of each SMB as it was cooled down under a magnetic field by liquid nitrogen was measured both radially and axially. As a result, it was found that the spring constants of these SMBs were almost as large as a practically desirable value; however, their damping coefficients were lower than the practical level. These findings are useful as one of the data bases for development of an optimum SMB design to support the weight of rotors in an axial direction.     

Discrete-time adaptive sliding mode power system stabilizer with only input/output measurements

In this paper a discrete-time adaptive sliding mode control method is newly developed and applied to the power system stabilization problem. A controllable canonical form of state space realization is constructed using the parameters identified by the on-line recursive least squares method and the system state is estimated from the input/output measurements and the simple state transformations. The identified parameters and the estimated state are then used by the discrete-time sliding mode control, which is suitable for the digital equipment. The most important advantage of the proposed power system stabilizer (PSS) is that it is able to maintain its regulating performance with a slower sampling period than that of the conventional sliding mode PSS because it is developed in a pure discrete-time domain. Another advantage of the proposed PSS is that it needs neither a mathematical model of the power system nor the full-state measurements because they are identified through on-line identifications. Several computer simulations for the linear power system are performed to verify the performance of the proposed PSS. In the computer simulations for various circumstances which are probable in a power system are considered, such as transitions of the active and reactive powers, change of parameters of the synchronous machine, line-to-ground faults and measurement noise. As a result, a new power system stabilizer which can operate in a wide range of operating conditions and can overcome various disturbances and measurement noises is proposed.     

无端点检测汉语识别算法的实现及改进——动态时间规整和隐马尔可夫统一模型的应用

语音识别算法中，动态时间规整（ＤＴＷ）和隐马尔可夫模型（ＨＭＭ）是最有效的识别算法，并且两者之间有着本质的联系和内在的统一［１］，据此前期工作中，已经建立了ＤＴＷ和ＨＭＭ的统一模型（ＤＨＵＭ）［２、３］。本文对ＤＨＵＭ进行了改进，在ＤＨＵＭ中引进寂静段自环，并根据汉语语音的特点，提出了一种无端点检测的语音识别算法。在识别过程中，该算法无需确定语音信号起止点位置，而是从寂静段开始，直接按帧提取特征（帧长２０ｍｓ，帧间重叠５０％），特征向量由１５阶倒谱系数和帧平均能量组成。实验中，用ＤＨＵＭ实现了该算法，对９９个相似汉语单字的识别测试结果表明：无端点检测的识别正识率为９４．９５％，正识率下降很少，但不作端点检测却降低了算法的复杂程度。为进一步改善识别性能，特征向量采用一种听觉模型特征，识别器具有更好的鲁棒性，识别率会略有提高。
