An impedance-based system modeling technique has been developed to determine the output forces of multiple piezoelectric (PZT) patch actuators on an active structure to produce a known vibration response. In the analysis of the dynamic response of a structure driven by multiple PZT patches, the proposed model includes not only the dynamic interactions between the PZT patch and the host structure but also the impedance couplings among PZT patches. Therefore this approach can apply to a structure with multiple PZT actuators. Furthermore, the bending stiffness and the thickness of a PZT patch that are proved to be important as increases of excitation frequency are included in the proposed impedance model. Examples are given to demonstrate how to synthesize a known vibration response and how to suppress vibration response at an arbitrary location on structures using this technique.

A methodology to synthesize a predesignated acoustic response using a structure driven by multiple induced-strain actuators, e.g., piezoelectric (PZT) patches, is presented. The proposed approach of solving the inverse problem of structural acoustics, e.g., how to produce a known acoustic response from a given PZT-driven baffled plate, is accomplished using the impedance method. A dynamic model that assembles the PZT patch impedance, the host structure impedance, and the acoustic impedance is developed and then is utilized to synthesize a predesignated acoustic response. The proposed model includes the mass and stiffness of the actuator and thus provides a more accurate prediction when a structure is bonded with multiple actuators.

Impedance-based stability analysis is an effective method for addressing a new type of SSO accidents that have occurred in recent years, especially those caused by the control interaction between a DFIG and the power grid. However, the existing impedance modeling of DFIGs is mostly focused on a single converter, such as the GSC or RSC, and the influence between the RSC and GSC, as well as the frequency coupling effect inside the converter are usually overlooked, reducing the accuracy of DFIG stability analysis. Hence, the entire impedance is proposed in this paper for the DFIG-based WECS, taking coupling factors into account (e.g., DC bus voltage dynamics, asymmetric current regulation in the dq frame, and PLL). Numerical calculations and HIL simulations on RT-Lab were used to validate the proposed model. The results indicate that the entire impedance model with frequency coupling is more accurate, and it is capable of accurately predicting the system’s possible resonance points.

The paper presents a conceptual model for social sensor design in socially-competent computing systems. The model is based on theories of social behavior being driven by the underlying attitudes, rather than on models predicting behavior in response to behavior representing people as physical objects in dynamic interactions. It is proposed to increase the ability of the systems to extract relevant features and to achieve better social competence, similar to the kind that is underlying human interactions by implementing algorithms, capable of predicting behavior in response to attitude. The paper presents an account of the social level of understanding human interactions in the context of three application scenarios – multi-hop communication networks, embedded systems for support of medical interventions and information systems supporting educational activities. Patterns of real data are discussed in terms of the proposed model of social sensor design for enhanced socially-competent computing.

AbstractThis study proposes an advanced discrete-event simulation-based tool to support decision-making in the internal logistic design of a packaging line of a multinational brewery company. The selected software, Simio, allows emulating, advising and predicting the behavior of complex real-world systems. The simulation model provides a 3D interface that facilitates verification and validation. In this work, the designed model is used to understand the dynamic interactions between multiple factors and performance measures including both material-handling and inventory systems and to define necessary quantities and/or capacities of resources for a future can packaging line. Based on the proposed model, a what-if analysis is performed to determine inventory threshold values and other critical variables in order to optimize the configuration of internal logistics in potential scenarios.

To investigate the friction damping effect of a loosely assembled blade with dovetail root, a fractal contact friction model is proposed to describe the friction force. In the proposed model, the friction contact interface is discretized to a series of friction contact pairs and each of them can experience stick, slip, or separate. Fractal geometry is used to simulate the topography of contact surfaces. The contact stiffness, which is related to the parameters of contact interfaces including normal load, roughness, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio, is calculated using Hertz contact theory and fractal geometry. The nonlinear vibration response of loosely assembled blade with dovetail root is predicted using the proposed model, the multiharmonic balance method and Newton iterative algorithm. The effect of centrifugal force, friction coefficient and exciting force on the forced response of a loosely assembled blade with dovetail root is studied. The numerical vibration responses are compared to the experimental results. It will verify the reliability of the numerical method and provide theoretical basis for structure design of the loosely assembled blade with dovetail root.

Boolean networks are used for modeling and analysis of complex systems of interacting entities. Classical Boolean networks are binary and they are relevant for modeling systems with complex switch-like causal interactions. More descriptive power can be provided by the introduction of gradation in this model. If this is accomplished by using conventional fuzzy logics, the generalized model cannot secure the Boolean frame. Consequently, the validity of the model’s dynamics is not secured. The aim of this paper is to present the Boolean consistent generalization of Boolean networks, interpolative Boolean networks. The generalization is based on interpolative Boolean algebra, the [0,1]-valued realization of Boolean algebra. The proposed model is adaptive with respect to the nature of input variables and it offers greater descriptive power as compared with traditional models. For illustrative purposes, IBN is compared to the models based on existing real-valued approaches. Due to the complexity of the most systems to be analyzed and the characteristics of interpolative Boolean algebra, the software support is developed to provide graphical and numerical tools for complex system modeling and analysis.

For simplicity and not losing generality, a half-vehicle model with 4 rigid DOFs is presented by mobility or impedance method and transfer matrix technology, which bring the flexibility of the body to the proposed model easily and conveniently, instead of complex differential and state space equations. Based on the multi-objective optimization, a synthetic cost function is proposed to investigate the dynamic characteristics and achieve the optimal control of suspensions. The numerical examples are performed to show the validity and efficiency of the presented model, and some valuable conclusions are also obtained to guide the optimal design of suspensions.

Abstract In-line inspection is a non-destructive assessment method commonly used for defect assessment and monitoring of pipelines. The passage of an ILI tool through an excavated or exposed section of a pipe during an integrity assessment can excite vibrations and exert substantial forces, stress, and deflections on the pipe due to the weight and speed of the ILI tool. When the excitation frequency due to the ILI tool movement is close to the natural frequency of the overall structure, the dynamic stress generated within the pipe can be large enough to the extent that it imposes integrity concern on the line. This research aims to study effects of the ILI tool passage through floating and partially supported pipes under a variety of boundary and loading conditions. A finite element method is used to model the pipe with moving ILI tool. The model is developed based on Timoshenko beam theory with planar degrees-of-freedom and the differential equations of motion are solved numerically to predict displacement, strain, stress, and frequency responses of the pipe. The model is further validated using a lab-scale experimental setup. The comparison of the simulation to experimental results show how the proposed model is capable of predicting pipe dynamics, effectively.
