Approximate Predictions of Ice Accretion on an Overhead Transmission Line which Rotates with Constant Angular Velocity

An airflow carrying either freezing-fog droplets or wet snowimpinging on an overhead transmission line causes ice to accreteon the windward side of the conductor. In the vicinity of theconductor anchors (at the towers), axial growth, in the formof a spike of ice growing outward into the wind, is observed.Near the centre of the span this eccentric ice loading causesthe conductor to twist so that cylindrical-sleeve growth isobserved. For small-diameter conductors of low torsional stiffnessthe conductor rotation can amount to many complete revolutions.It is useful to obtain some understanding of this mode of iceaccretion prior to undertaking any investigation of the aeroelasticsystem under icing conditions and it has direct relevance toice loading on small-diameter conductors. To this end, a simple‘icing-clock’ model for sleeve growth in which theconductor rotates with constant angular velocity is proposed,enablinganalytical results on the mechanics of the ice evolution processto be obtained.     

On the Dynamics of Bundled Conductors in Overhead Transmission Lines

The Energy Balance Principle (EBP) is well established for estimating the vibration levels of wind induced oscillations of single overhead transmission lines. The mathematical model, wherein a conductor is treated as a continuous system, results in a transcendental eigenvalue problem (EVP), which gives numerical difficulties in the case of bundled conductors. In this paper, different approaches for solving transcendental EVP and their relative merits are discussed. A new method named continuous spectrum approach provides a good engineering solution. Results from different approaches are compared. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Model Based Trajectory Control of an Overhead Travelling Crane

Until now, most papers concerning control of overhead travelling cranes have only focussed on position control of the translational degrees of freedom, see for example [1], [3], [4], and [5]. With more advanced robotic applications envisaged, however, there is a demand for both trajectory control in six degrees of freedom and active damping of the weakly damped load oscillations due to the rope suspension [2]. Hence, a model based trajectory control is presented for an overhead travelling crane that has been upgraded with an orientation unit providing three additional axes. Starting from a central multibody model, decentralised design models are derived for each crane axis. By this, couplings between the axes are identified and appear as disturbance inputs in these decentralised design models. Each decentralised axis controller consists of linear state feedback, feedforward control, and observer based disturbance compensation and is derived in symbolic form. This allows for an adaptation of the complete control structure employing the gain scheduling technique with respect to varying system parameters like rope length and load mass. Couplings between the crane axes are compensated by feedforward control, whereas the e.ects of nonlinear friction forces are counteracted by combination of feedforward control and disturbance estimation. Experimental results, taken at a 5 t ‐ bridge crane, show the bene.ts of the proposed control scheme as regards control performance and steady‐state accuracy.

On the Dynamics of an Impulsive Reaction-Diffusion Predator-Prey System with Ratio-Dependent Functional Response

An impulsive reaction-diffusion periodic predator-prey system with ratio-dependent functional response is investigated in the present paper. Sufficient conditions for the ultimate boundedness and permanence of the predator-prey system are established based on the upper and lower solution method and comparison theory of differential equation. By constructing appropriate auxiliary function, the conditions for the existence of a unique globally stable positive periodic solution are also obtained. Some numerical examples are presented to verify our results. A discussion is given in the end of the paper.

System Dynamics in Shipping

A system which exhibits time-varying fluctuations in measures which describe its state and which comprises inter-dependent feedback loops is likely to be amenable to the modelling methods of system dynamics. The shipping industry is analysed from this point of view with the aim of identifying its dynamic characteristics and their causal mechanisms. Examples are given of observed dynamic behaviour within and between trade sectors.     

Dynamics of an impact-progressive system

An impact oscillator with a frictional slider is considered. The basic function of the investigated system is to overcome the frictional force and move downwards. Based on the analysis of the oscillatory and progressive motions of the system, we introduce an impact Poincaré map with dynamical variables defined at the impact instants. The nonlinear dynamics of the impact system with a frictional slider is analyzed by using the impact Poincaré map. The stability and bifurcations of single-impact periodic motions are analyzed, and some information about the existence of other types of periodic-impact motions is provided. Since the system equilibrium is moving downwards, one way to monitor the progression rate is to calculate its progression in a finite time. The simulation results show that in a finite time, the largest progression of the system is found to occur for period-1 multi-impact motions existing in the regions of low forcing frequencies. Secondly, the progression of the period-1 single-impact motion with peak-impact velocity is also distinct enough. However, it is important to note, that the largest progression for period-1 multi-impact motion existing at a low forcing frequency is not an optimal choice for practical engineering applications. The greater the number of the impacts in an excitation period, the more distinct the adverse effects such as high noise levels and wear and tear caused by impacts. As a result, the progression of the period-1 single-impact motion with the peak-impact velocity is still optimal for practical applications. The influence of parameter variations on the oscillatory and progressive motions of the impact-progressive system are elucidated accordingly, and feasible parameter regions are provided.

Dynamics of an oncolytic virus model

An ODE model for oncolytic virus dynamics with four parameters is discussed. Although it is hard to obtain the explicit expressions of coordinates of equilibria, we find distribution of equilibria qualitatively, and obtain the exact number of equilibria and their qualitative properties. We further give a complete analysis on local bifurcations such as saddle–node, Bogdanov–Takens, and Hopf bifurcations. Resultant elimination is applied to decompose the semi-algebraic varieties of Lyapunov quantities under the restriction of biological meaning, and we show that the weak focus is of order at most 3.
