Robustness analysis of responses of vibration control structures with uncertain parameters using interval algorithm

Variations in system parameters due to uncertainties may result in system performance deterioration. Uncertainties in modeling of structures are often considered to ensure that control system is robust with respect to response errors. Hence, the uncertain concept plays an important role in vibration control of the engineering structures. The paper discusses the robustness of responses of vibration control systems with the uncertain parameters. The vibration control problem of an uncertain system is approximated by a deterministic one. The uncertain parameters are described by interval variables. The uncertain state matrix is constructed directly using system physical parameters and avoided to use bounds in Euclidean norm. The feedback gain matrix is determined based on the deterministic systems, and then it is applied to the actual uncertain systems. A method to calculate the upper and lower bounds of responses of the closed-loop system with uncertain parameters is presented. The upper bounds of responses can be used to estimate the robustness of responses of the controlled system with uncertain parameters. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the applications of the present approach.     

江汉平原印支期以来的盆山耦合关系及下古生界油气响应

利用构造地质学和油气系统理论，以盆地构造-沉积分析技术为手段，研究了印支期以来江汉平原与周缘造山带的耦合关系，探讨了江汉平原的构造演化及其对油气成藏的控制作用。印支期以来江汉平原及周缘经历了挤压、拉张、挤压3次大的构造应力场的转换，使古生代海相碳酸盐岩沉积为主的盆地具有改造盆地的特点；一方面强烈的抬升、剥蚀使早期聚集的油气经历改造和再分配、再聚集过程，另一方面燕山期构造活动使逆冲推覆构造成为该区重要勘探领域。综合分析表明，位于台、盆转换带的宜昌-珂理-簰州区带是目前江汉平原及周缘下古生界油气勘探的有利地区。

Effects of viscosity on the bitterness and astringency of grape seed tannin

To examine the separate effects of viscosity and sweetness on astringency, aqueous solutions of grape seed tannin (GST) were thickened with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) from 2 to 45 cP (experiment 1) or sweetened with 0 to 1.8 g/L aspartame (experiment 2). Trained subjects continuously rated astringency and bitterness in duplicate. Subjects were categorized by the salivary flow induced by citric acid and ability to taste n-propyl thiouracil (PROP). In experiment 1, maximum intensity and total duration of astringency were significantly decreased as viscosity rose, although time to maximum intensity of astringency was not affected. Maximum intensity and total duration of bitterness were not significantly affected by increasing viscosity; however, the onset of bitterness was significantly delayed. In experiment 2, increasing sweetness had no affect on any astringency parameter, although maximum intensity of bitterness was significantly decreased. Neither PROP nor salivary flow-status had any effect on perception of bitterness or astringency in either experiment.     

Saturated liquid viscosities and densities of environmentally acceptable hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)

Measurements of saturated liquid viscosities and densities were performed on environmentally acceptable hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), CH₃CCl₂F (HCFC-141b), CH₃CClF₂ (HCFC-142b; only for viscosity), CF₃CF₂CHCl₂ (HCFC-225ca), and CClF₂CF₂CHClF (HCFC-225cb), using a capillary viscometer and a glass pycnometer in the temperature range from 273 to 353 K. The uncertainty in the measurement of viscosity is estimated to be 5% based on the comparison of the present data with those in the literature for HCFC-141b. An equation is given to represent our saturated liquid viscosity data as a function of temperature.     

The viscosity of liquid water at pressures up to 32 MPa

The paper reports new, preliminary measurements of the viscosity of liquid water along two isotherms as a function of pressure up to 32 MPa. The measurements have been performed with a vibrating-wire viscometer especially modified for the purpose. The instrument has been calibrated with respect to the viscosity of water at a pressure of 0.1 MPa and a temperature of 293.15 K, for which an accurate reference value is available. With due regard to the precision of the determination of individual quantities and the accuracy of the calibration data, it is estimated that the accuracy of the present results is one of ±0.3% under all conditions.Paper dedicated to Professor Joseph Kestin.

宜昌地区下寒武统沉积环境分析

宜昌地区早寒武世除天柱山期(南部和西部称岩家河期)岩性变化较大外,其他依次沉积了以黑色炭质页岩夹灰岩、细碎屑岩、石灰岩、白云岩等为主的岩性组合,反映了中扬子区岩性四分的特点。晚震旦世灯影末期区内是一个东高西低、东北高西南低的浅海沉积区。在此背景上,早寒武世早期(即天柱山期)遭受了短暂而快速海进之后,依次经历了浅海盆地边缘、斜坡带、浅海陆棚及潮坪等沉积环境的缓慢演化,显示了有规律的海退序列。在区内天柱山组、岩家河组及水井沱组等均首次发现了重力流沉积;在水井沱组下部炭质页岩所夹的薄层粉晶云岩中,首次发现了沉积型重晶石富集层。根据区内天柱山期为浅海斜坡带(岩家河期为浅海盆地边缘)、水井沱期为浅海盆地边缘至斜坡带等沉积环境判断。天柱山组(岩家河组)与水井沱组之问应为连续沉积、整合接触。图3表1参7
