Applications of a novel time-integration technique to the non-linear and linear dynamics of mechanical structures are presented, using an extended Picard-type iteration. Explicit discrete-mechanics approximations are taken as starting guess for the iteration. Iteration and necessary symbolic operations need to be performed only before time-stepping procedure starts. In a previous investigation, we demonstrated computational advantages for free vibrations of a hanging pendulum. In the present paper, we first study forced non-linear vibrations of a tower-like mechanical structure, modeled by a standing pendulum with a non-linear restoring moment, due to harmonic excitation in primary parametric vertical resonance, and due to excitation recordings from a real earthquake. Our technique is realized in the symbolic computer languages Mathematica and Maple, and outcomes are successfully compared against the numerical time-integration tool NDSolve of Mathematica. For out method, substantially smaller computation times, smaller also than the real observation time, are found on a standard computer. We finally present the application to free vibrations of a hanging double pendulum. Excellent accuracy with respect to the exact solution is found for comparatively large observation periods.

Abstract A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) servo and the regulatory control problem are challenging because of their highly non-linear nature, frequent changes in operating points, and frequent disturbances. System identification is one of the important steps in the CSTR model-based control design. In earlier work, a non-linear system model comprises a linear subsystem followed by static nonlinearities and represented with Laguerre filters followed by the LSSVM (least squares support vector machines). This model structure solves linear dynamics first and then associated nonlinearities. Unlike earlier works, the proposed LSSVM-L (least squares support vector machines and Laguerre filters) Hammerstein model structure solves the nonlinearities associated with the non-linear system first and then linear dynamics. Thus, the proposed Hammerstein’s model structure deals with the nonlinearities before affecting the entire system, decreasing the model complexity and providing a simple model structure. This new Hammerstein model is stable, precise, and simple to implement and provides the CSTR model with a good model fit%. Simulation studies illustrate the benefit and effectiveness of the proposed LSSVM-L Hammerstein model and its efficacy as a non-linear model predictive controller for the servo and regulatory control problem.
