H∞ stochastic synchronization for master–slave semi‐Markovian switching system via sliding mode control

In this article, synchronization problem of master–slave system with phase‐type semi‐Markovian switching is investigated via sliding mode control scheme. By utilizing a supplementary variable technique and a plant transformation, the master–slave semi‐Markovian switching system can be equivalently expressed as its associated Markovian switching system. Then an integral sliding surface is constructed to guarantee stochastic synchronization of master–slave semi‐Markovian switching system, and the suitable controller is synthesized to ensure that the trajectory of the closed‐loop error system can be driven onto the prescribed sliding mode surface. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed sliding‐mode design scheme. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 430–441, 2016     

RBF‐based discrete sliding mode control for robust tracking of uncertain time‐delay systems with input nonlinearity

In this article, a control scheme combining radial basis function neural network and discrete sliding mode control method is proposed for robust tracking and model following of uncertain time‐delay systems with input nonlinearity. The proposed robust tracking controller guarantees the stability of overall closed‐loop system and achieves zero‐tracking error in the presence of input nonlinearity, time‐delays, time‐varying parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances. The salient features of the proposed controller include no requirement of a priori knowledge of the upper bound of uncertainties and the elimination of chattering phenomenon and reaching phase. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 194–201, 2016     

Control of non‐integer‐order dynamical systems using sliding mode scheme

This article deals with the problem of control of canonical non‐integer‐order dynamical systems. We design a simple dynamical fractional‐order integral sliding manifold with desired stability and convergence properties. The main feature of the proposed dynamical sliding surface is transferring the sign function in the control input to the first derivative of the control signal. Therefore, the resulted control input is smooth and without any discontinuity. So, the harmful chattering, which is an inherent characteristic of the traditional sliding modes, is avoided. We use the fractional Lyapunov stability theory to derive a sliding control law to force the system trajectories to reach the sliding manifold and remain on it forever. A nonsmooth positive definite function is applied to prove the existence of the sliding motion in a given finite time. Some computer simulations are presented to show the efficient performance of the proposed chattering‐free fractional‐order sliding mode controller. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Wear behavior of Palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber (PPLSF) reinforced polyester composites

The effect of alkali treatment and fiber length on the wear performance of the Palmyra palm leaf stalk fiber (PPLSF)–polyester composites and the possibilities for using PPLSF in wear resistance applications were explored at different speeds and normal loads for constant sliding distance using pin on disk wear tester as per the ASTM G99 standard. Unsaturated polyester was used as matrix, and composites were prepared by molding in an open mold and pouring the resin. It was observed that wear loss and coefficient of friction reduced due to reinforcement of PPLSF. Reinforcing alkali-treated PPLSF in the matrix has further reduced the wear loss and coefficient of friction. At high speed and high load condition considered in this study shows that the wear loss and coefficient of friction were reduced by 64 and 22%, respectively, for alkali-treated fiber composites compared with untreated fiber composites. The effect of fiber length on the wear performance was also evaluated and optimal set of parameters that would result in minimum wear loss and coefficient of friction was determined by design of experimental method using Taguchi’s orthogonal array. The surface morphology of the composites after wear tests was examined using scanning electron microscopy to analyze the mechanism of wear.     

基于滑动峭度相关性准则的局部特征尺度分解分量筛选方法

轴承故障振动信号具有非平稳、非线性特征,且可视为多个调幅-调频分量的叠加,单分量的包络蕴含了轴承的故障特征。局部特征尺度分解可将振动信号准确分解为多个内禀尺度分量之和,某些分量能清晰反映轴承的运行状态,根据包络谱可进行故障诊断。为了准确筛选有用分量,提出了基于滑动峭度相关性准则的分量筛选方法。首先,对信号进行局部特征尺度分解,得到若干个内禀尺度分量;然后,对分量和原始信号分别计算滑动峭度,生成时间序列;最后,依据分量滑动峭度序列与原始信号滑动峭度序列的互相关系数筛选有用分量。通过轴承内圈故障数据分析发现：有用分量与非有用分量之间的滑动峭度互相关系数比互相关系数差异明显,区分度更大,有益于分量的分类、筛选。

轴向间隙对动 /静相干叶排内部非定常特性的影响

本文采用文献［3,4］所发展的滑移界面技术,求解了不同轴向间隙时某一透平级内的非定常流场, 发现轴向间隙由0.152倍栅距变化到0.533倍栅距时,监测点速度u的相对振幅由26.27%下降为7.94%; 速度v的相对振幅由21.34%下降到7.3%。计算结果表明轴向间隙的增大将使动/静叶排间的相互干扰作用减弱,从而使其内部非定常流动特性减小,为设计工作提供了参考依据     

陡倾滑面滑坡锯齿形抗滑桩力学性能研究

陡倾滑面滑坡推力竖向分力显著,基于滑坡推力水平假定与普通抗滑桩相互作用不充分这一问题,建立锯齿形抗滑桩结构。依据梯形分布滑坡推力的假设,推导了受荷段内力计算公式,采用Winkler弹性地基理论推导了锚固段内力计算公式,并开展锯齿形抗滑桩的力学性能研究。分析表明,(1)随着滑面倾角的增加,锯齿形抗滑桩的受荷段、锚固段的弯矩、剪力以及侧应力均减小,内力减小幅度随之增大;(2)滑面倾角在20°～40°时,随着滑面倾角的增加,锚固段的理论最小长度在逐渐增加,40°时锚固段的长度为4.2 m达到最大值,且该长度仅占整个桩长35%,远小于按现行规范取得的锚固段长度最大值(1/2总桩长),桩侧摩阻力就可以完全满足竖向力学平衡;(3)将锯齿形抗滑桩与普通抗滑桩内力对比,受荷段和锚固段的弯矩减小34%、剪力减小36%及桩侧应力减小幅度大于30%,力学性能良好。
