Projective Synchronization Between Two Nonidentical Variable Time Delayed Systems

In this paper,we propose a method for the projective synchronization between two different chaotic systems with variable time delays.Using active control approach,the suitable controller is constructed to make the states of two different diverse time delayed systems asymptotically synchronize up to the desired scaling factor.Based on the Lyapunov stability theory,the sufficient condition for the projective synchronization is calculated theoretically.Numerical simulations of the projective synchronization between Mackey-Glass system and Ikeda system with variable time delays are shown to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

Cluster projective synchronization between community networks with nonidentical nodes

In this paper, cluster projective synchronization between community networks with nonidentical nodes is investigated. Outer synchronization between two identical or nonidentical complex networks has been extensively studied, in which all the nodes synchronized each other in a common manner. However, in real community networks, different communities in networks usually synchronize with each other in a different manner, i.e., achieving cluster projective synchronization. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions for achieving cluster projective synchronization are derived through designing proper controllers. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the derived theoretical results.

Controlled synchronization at the existence limit for an excited unbalanced rotor

The synchronization of a controlled unbalanced rotor with a viscoelastically mounted supporting body and force-excitation is studied. The existence and stability conditions for the synchronous regime of motion are derived for a general control law by the method of direct separation of motion. Then a control law is developed using speed gradient method in order to transfer maximum energy from the excitation to the rotor. The free parameters of the control law are derived in such a way that the controlled synchronization is stable at the existence limit.     

Effect of electrode geometry on droplet velocity in open EWOD based device for digital microfluidics applications

Electro wetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is an emerging method for handling droplet motion by applying an electric field to an array of electrodes. The dependence of droplet velocities on different electrode configuration in open EWOD system has been investigated in this work. In this paper, open configured EWOD devices with different geometries of electrodes, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a base layer are designed and fabricated. The electrowetting force is computed by analytical methods as well as by numerical methods and its effect on droplet velocity is studied in detail. The velocity of the droplet is measured by using open image processing tool.     

A novel adaptive finite-time controller for synchronizing chaotic gyros with nonlinear inputs

In this paper, the problem of the finite-time synchronization of two uncertain chaotic gyros is discussed. The parameters of both the master and the slave gyros are assumed to be unknown in advance. The effects of model uncertainties and input nonlinearities are also taken into account. An appropriate adaptation law is proposed to tackle the gyros' unknown parameters. Based on the adaptation law and the finite-time control technique, proper control laws are introduced to ensure that the trajectories of the slave gyro converge to the trajectories of the master gyro in a given finite time. Simulation results show the applicability and the efficiency of the proposed finite-time controller.     

Measurement of the near-tip displacement field in a fatigue damaged steel plate by digital speckle pattern interferometry

A digital speckle pattern interferometry system with automatic data analysis is used to measure the near-tip in-plane displacement field in a stainless steel specimen previously cracked by a fatigue test. In-plane displacements over a zone of 3.15 mm×3.15 mm are determined through the evaluation of the optical phase distribution. A theoretical solution developed for elasto-plastic materials is used to evaluate the obtained experimental results.

A Gradient Flow Approach to Optimal Model Reduction of Discrete-Time Periodic Systems

This paper is concerned with the optimal model reduction for linear discrete periodic time-varying systems and digital filters. Specifically, for a given stable periodic time-varying model, we shall seek a lower order periodic time-varying model to approximate the original model in an optimal H ₂ norm sense. By orthogonal projections of the original model, we convert the optimal periodic model reduction problem into an unconstrained optimization problem. Two effective algorithms are then developed to solve the optimization problem. The algorithms ensure that the H ₂ cost decreases monotonically and converges to an optimal (local) solution. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the proposed method. The present paper extends the optimal model reduction for linear time invariant systems to linear periodic discrete time-varying systems.     

Cluster Synchronization in Hybrid Coupled Discrete-Time Delayed Complex Networks

This paper studies the exponential cluster synchronization in arrays of coupled discrete-time dynamical networks with time-varying delay, in which the hybrid coupling is involved. Through choosing two improved Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions are presented based on reciprocal convex technique and Kronecker product. These criteria are presented in terms of LMIs and their feasibility can be easily checked by resorting to Matlab LMI Toolbox. Moreover, the addressed system can include some famous network models as its special cases and the effective techniques are used, which can extend some earlier reported results. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods can be further illustrated with the help of two numerical examples.
