Properties of argon-bromine counters

Summary Argon-bromine counters are compared with argon-alcohol counters. The point is stressed that their properties change when the charge developed in the counter becomes equal to or greater than the charge originally present at the wire. The so-called oscillations are investigated and partially explained as well as the delay in the build-up of a pulse, this delay being dependent on the overvoltage. A clear-cut picture of the mechanism of these counters can not yet be given.

直接从时滞微分方程进行控制律设计,对控制存在延时的建筑结构在地震作用下的最优控制方法进行了研究。在控制时滞量为采样周期的整数倍和非整数倍的两种情况下,通过采用零阶保持器,将包含时滞的连续系统转化为形式上不包含时滞的标准离散线性系统,然后进行控制律的设计。所得出的控制律表达式中,除了含有当前的状态反馈外,还包含有前若干步控制项的线形组合。最后对某三自由度结构模型进行了仿真计算,结果表明,延时对控制效果有较大的影响,延时并非愈短愈好。     

一类平面自治非线性时滞控制系统的多稳态和混沌

众所周知,平面自治系统即使具有光滑非线性存在,系统也不会出现复杂的动力学行为。本文研究这样的系统存在时滞时,时滞量对系统的动力学行为的影响。通过对一个平面自治非线性系统引入时滞反馈,得到数学模型。利用泛函分析和平均法建立系统平衡态随时滞量变化的失稳机理,研究表明：时滞量平面自治系统动力学行为的影响是本质的．时滞量不但可以使系统出现Hopf分岔,产生周期振动。而且还可以使系统出现多稳态的周期运动或周期吸引子,这些共存的吸引子相碰是导致系统复杂的动力学行为,包括概周期和混沌运动。     

点火延迟时间对铝粉爆炸特性参数的影响

为了研究装置点火延迟时间对不同浓度粉尘爆炸压力和压力上升速率的影响,以铝粉为介质在5L圆柱形爆炸装置中进行系列爆炸实验。结果表明:装置点火延迟时间对铝粉爆炸压力和压力上升速率有十分显著的影响,且存在一个最佳点火延迟时间,此时最大爆炸压力最大;随着铝粉浓度的增加,最佳点火延迟时间先增加后保持不变。最佳点火延迟时间下的最大爆炸压力和最大压力上升速率明显高于点火延迟时间固定为60s时的。相对粉尘不同浓度均采用固定点火延迟时间,不同浓度时采用最佳点火延迟时间,所测得的粉尘最大爆炸压力和最大压力上升速率明显符合实际。     

Criticality of Hopf bifurcation in state-dependent delay model of turning processes

In this paper the non-linear dynamics of a state-dependent delay model of the turning process is analyzed. The size of the regenerative delay is determined not only by the rotation of the workpiece, but also by the vibrations of the tool. A numerical continuation technique is developed that can be used to follow the periodic orbits of a system with implicitly defined state-dependent delays. The numerical analysis of the model reveals that the criticality of the Hopf bifurcation depends on the feed rate. This is in contrast to simpler constant delay models where the criticality does not change. For small feed rates, subcritical Hopf bifurcations are found, similar to the constant delay models. In this case, periodic orbits coexist with the stable stationary cutting state and so there is the potential for large amplitude chatter and bistability. For large feed rates, the Hopf bifurcation becomes supercritical for a range of spindle speeds. In this case, stable periodic orbits instead coexist with the unstable stationary cutting state, removing the possibility of large amplitude chatter. Thus, the state-dependent delay in the model has a kind of stabilizing effect, since the supercritical case is more favorable from a practical viewpoint than the subcritical one.     

Passivity analysis for discrete-time switched neural networks with various activation functions and mixed time delays

This paper is concerned with the passivity analysis for a class of discrete-time switched neural networks with various activation functions and mixed time delays. The mixed time delays under consideration include time-varying discrete delay and bounded distributed delay. By using the average dwell time approach and the discontinuous piecewise Lyapunov function technique, a novel delay-dependent sufficient condition for exponential stability of the switched neural networks with passivity is derived in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The obtained condition is not only dependent on the discrete delay bound, but also dependent on the distributed delay bound. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed result.

Symbolic computation of normal form for Hopf bifurcation in a neutral delay differential equation and an application to a controlled crane

A symbolic computation scheme and its corresponding Maple program are developed to compute the normal form for the Hopf bifurcation in a neutral delay differential equation. In the symbolic computation scheme, the neutral delay differential equation is considered as an ordinary differential equation in an appropriate infinite-dimensional phase space so that both center manifold reduction and normal form computation can be simultaneously conducted without computing center manifold beforehand. The Maple program is proved to provide an easy way to compute the normal form of the neutral delay differential equation automatically by only inputting some basic information of the equation. As an illustrative example, the application of the Maple program to a container crane with a delayed position feedback control is given. The results reveal that the normal form obtained by using the center manifold reduction and the normal form computation is in a full agreement with the result derived by applying the method of multiple scales. Moreover, numerical analysis is presented to validate the analytical results.     

Hopf bifurcation for a small-world network model with?parameters delay feedback control

To delay the onset of undesirable bifurcation, the bifurcation control has become a subject of intense research activities. In this paper, a small-world network model with the delay feedback is considered, in which the strength of feedback control is a nonlinear function of delay. With this controller, one can change the critical value of bifurcation, and thus enlarge the stable region. Moreover, by adding some proper slowly varying parts into the bifurcation parameters, the stability can be improved. Numerical results show that the dynamics of the small-world network model with the controller of delay-dependent parameters is quite different from that of a system with the controller of delay-independent parameters only.

Discretization of Asymptotically Stable Stationary Solutions of Delay Differential Equations with a Random Stationary Delay

We prove the existence of a stationary random solution to a delay random ordinary differential system, which attracts all other solutions in both pullback and forwards senses. The equation contains a one-sided dissipative Lipschitz term without delay, while the random delay appears in a globally Lipschitz one. The delay function only needs to be continuous in time. Moreover, we also prove that the split implicit Euler scheme associated to the random delay differential system generates a discrete time random dynamical system, which also possesses a stochastic stationary solution with the same attracting property, and which converges to the stationary solution of the delay random differential equation pathwise as the stepsize goes to zero.

INVESTIGATION OF BUBBLE-BUBBLE INTERACTION EFFECT DURING THE COLLAPSE OF MULTI-BUBBLE SYSTEM

通过直接数值模拟方法对多泡在压力驱动下的溃灭过程进行了研究。气相满足理想气体正压模型,液相为不可压 流体,采用基于压力的方法求解多泡的两相流场。数值研究表明,在多泡流场中,中心气泡的溃灭过程明显不同于单泡,存在总体溃灭延迟现象和后期加速现象。随着周围气泡数的增多或气泡间距的减小,中心气泡的溃灭时间增长,溃灭时的压力峰值增大。结合理论定性分析发现,气泡运动不仅受远场压力的驱动,还受周围气泡诱导压力场的影响。周围气泡的诱导压力经历先减小后增大的过程,从而使受其影响的中心气泡产生先延迟后加速的特征。     

Magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection in a vertical channel

The problem of combined free and forced convective magnetohydrodynamic flow in a vertical channel is analysed by taking into account the effect of viscous and ohmic dissipations. The channel walls are maintained at equal or at different constant temperatures. The velocity field and the temperature field are obtained analytically by perturbation series method and numerically by finite difference technique. The results are presented for various values of the Brinkman number and the ratio of Grashof number to the Reynolds number for both equal and different wall temperatures. Nusselt number at the walls is determined. It is found that the viscous dissipation enhances the flow reversal in the case of downward flow while it counters the flow in the case of upward flow. It is also found that the analytical and numerical solutions agree very well for small values of ε.     

Dissipativity analysis of stochastic neural networks with time delays

This paper is concerned with the dissipativity problem of stochastic neural networks with time delay. A new stochastic integral inequality is first proposed. By utilizing the delay partitioning technique combined with the stochastic integral inequalities, some sufficient conditions ensuring mean-square exponential stability and dissipativity are derived. Some special cases are also considered. All the given results in this paper are not only dependent upon the time delay, but also upon the number of delay partitions. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and improvement of the proposed criteria.     

The efficiency of halogen-quenched geiger-counters for X-rays

Summary The efficiency of two argon-bromine counters is determined for Mo-K_α, Cu-_α and Cr-_α quanta as a function of the overvoltage and as a function of the distance from the axis where the quanta are absorbed. The efficiency drops sharply at greater distances from the wire. This effect is partially ameliorated at higher overvoltages. The more energetic X-ray quanta show a higher relative efficiency in the outer regions. The explanation is to be found in the electronegativity of the halogens.

Complete synchronization of delay hyperchaotic Lü system via a single linear input

This work is devoted to investigating the complete synchronization of two identical delay hyperchaotic Lü systems with different initial conditions, and a simple complete synchronization scheme only with a single linear input is proposed. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions of synchronization are obtained for both linear feedback and adaptive control approaches. The problem of adaptive synchronization between two nearly identical delay hyperchaotic Lü systems with unknown parameters is also studied. A?single input adaptive synchronization controller is proposed, and the adaptive parameter update laws are developed. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.
