This paper deals with the transient characteristics of the cascade DC–DC Boost converter under a large disturbance by using nonlinear modal series method. Based on the power balance principle, a nonlinear averaged model is derived to describe the nonlinear dynamics of the cascade converter. And then, the modal series method is described in detail and the second order approximate solutions are derived by this method. Furthermore, the simulation results and the theoretical analysis demonstrate that there are plenty of modal interactions, particularly the stronger second order modal interactions, which can affect the transient behavior significantly in the disturbed transient process. The modified approximate solutions considering the dominant nonlinear interaction modes of some state variables are subsequently obtained. In addition, by selecting appropriate system parameters, we can improve the transient behavior of the system under disturbance so that the amplitude and duration of the oscillation can be effectively reduced to satisfy the requirements of the system tolerance during the transient process. Moreover, the dominant oscillation modes of each state variable are also studied, which will help us improve the understanding of the salient transient behaviors in DC–DC cascade converters with disturbance. Finally, PSpice circuit experiments are performed to verify the above theoretical and numerical results.

In this paper, we exploit an idea of nonlinear modal series method to investigate the effects of modal interaction in the one-cycle controlled (OCC) double-input SEPIC DC–DC converter. Based on the proposed nonlinear averaged model, the analytical approximate solutions are obtained to characterize the dynamic response characteristic of the transient behaviors in the double-input SEPIC converters. The fundamental modal analysis is utilized to identify the dominant oscillation modes and discover the relationship between parameters, fundamental modes and state variables. Furthermore, the second-order interaction indices are proposed to uncover the underlying mechanism of nonlinear interaction behaviors. In particular, the correlation between parameters and modal interaction are derived to optimize the transient process of the double-input SEPIC converters. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to verify the theoretical analysis.

Robust Observer

In this study, a novel robust observer-based adaptive controller was formulated for systems represented by second-order input–output dynamics with unknown second state, and it was applied to concentration tracking in a chemical reactor. By using dead-zone Lyapunov functions and adaptive backstepping method, an improved control law was derived, exhibiting faster response to changes in the output tracking error while avoiding input chattering and providing robustness to uncertain model terms. Moreover, a state observer was formulated for estimating the unknown state. The main contributions with respect to closely related designs are (i) the control law, the update law and the observer equations involve no discontinuous signals; (ii) it is guaranteed that the developed controller leads to the convergence of the tracking error to a compact set whose width is user-defined, and it does not depend on upper bounds of model terms, state variables or disturbances; and (iii) the control law exhibits a fast response to changes in the tracking error, whereas the control effort can be reduced through the controller parameters. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed controller is illustrated by the simulation of concentration tracking in a stirred chemical reactor.

Nonlinear Modal Analysis

In this paper we discuss a theoretical technique for decomposing multi-degree-of-freedom weakly nonlinear systems into a simpler form — an approach which has parallels with the well know method for linear modal analysis. The key outcome is that the system resonances, both linear and nonlinear are revealed by the transformation process. For each resonance, parameters can be obtained which characterise the backbone curves, and higher harmonic components of the response. The underlying mathematical technique is based on a near identity normal form transformation. This is an established technique for analysing weakly nonlinear vibrating systems, but in this approach we use a variation of the method for systems of equations written in second-order form. This is a much more natural approach for structural dynamics where the governing equations of motion are written in this form as standard practice. In fact the first step in the method is to carry out a linear modal transformation using linear modes as would typically done for a linear system. The near identity transform is then applied as a second step in the process and one which identifies the nonlinear resonances in the system being considered. For an example system with cubic nonlinearities, we show how the resulting transformed equations can be used to obtain a time independent representation of the system response. We will discuss how the analysis can be carried out with applied forcing, and how the approximations about response frequencies, made during the near-identity transformation, affect the accuracy of the technique. In fact we show that the second-order normal form approach can actually improve the predictions of sub- and super-harmonic responses. Finally we comment on how this theoretical technique could be used as part of a modal testing approach in future work.

Radiant Transfer

Two approximate methods are presented for making radiant heat-transfer computations from gray, isothermal dispersions which absorb, emit, and scatter isotropically. The integrodifferential equation of radiant transfer is solved using moment techniques to obtain a first-order solution. A second-order solution is found by iteration. The approximate solutions are compared to exact solutions found in the literature of astrophysics for the case of a plane-parallel geometry. The exact and approximate solutions are both expressed in terms of directional and hemispherical emissivities at a boundary. The comparison for a slab, which is neither optically thin nor thick (τ = 1), indicates that the second-order solution is accurate to within 10 percent for both directional and hemispherical properties. These results suggest that relatively simple techniques may be used to make design computations for more complex geometries and boundary conditions.

Homotopy Perturbation

 In this paper, the second order approximate solution of a general second order nonlinear ordinary differential system, modeling damped oscillatory process is considered. The new analytical technique based on the work of He’s homotopy perturbation method is developed to find the periodic solution of a second order ordinary nonlinear differential system with damping effects. Usually the second or higher order approximate solutions are able to give better results than the first order approximate solutions. The results show that the analytical approximate solutions obtained by homotopy perturbation method are uniformly valid on the whole solutions domain and they are suitable not only for strongly nonlinear systems, but also for weakly nonlinear systems. Another advantage of this new analytical technique is that it also works for strongly damped, weakly damped and undamped systems. Figures are provided to show the comparison between the analytical and the numerical solutions. Keywords: Homotopy perturbation method; damped oscillation; nonlinear equation; strong nonlinearity.

Robust Control Design

This work proposes a deterministic robust controller to improve tracking performance for a linear motor, taking into account the electrical dynamics imposed by a commercial current controller. The design is split in two parts by means of the backstepping technique, in which the first part corresponds to a typical deterministic robust controller, neglecting the electrical dynamics. In the second part, a second-order electrical dynamics is considered using a particular state transformation. There, the proposed control law is composed of a term to compensate the known part of the model and a robust control term to impose a bound on the effect of uncertainties on tracking error. Stability and boundedness results for the complete controller are given. To this effect, a general result on boundedness and stability of nonlinear systems with conditionally bounded state variables is derived first. Finally, experimental results for the complete controller show an improvement on tracking error of up to 31.7% when compared with the results from the typical controller that neglects the electrical dynamics.

The Stability

In this paper, we will consider the Hyers-Ulam stability for the second order inhomogeneous linear differential equation, u ′ ′ ( x ) + α u ′ ( x ) + β u ( x ) = r ( x ) , with constant coefficients. More precisely, we study the properties of the approximate solutions of the above differential equation in the class of twice continuously differentiable functions with suitable conditions and compare them with the solutions of the homogeneous differential equation u ′ ′ ( x ) + α u ′ ( x ) + β u ( x ) = 0 . Several mathematicians have studied the approximate solutions of such differential equation and they obtained good results. In this paper, we use the classical integral method, via the Wronskian, to establish the stability of the second order inhomogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients and we will compare our result with previous ones. Specially, for any desired point c ∈ R we can have a good approximate solution near c with very small error estimation.

The exterior Bernoulli free boundary problem was studied via shape optimization technique. The problem was reformulated into the minimization of the so-called Kohn-Vogelius objective functional, where two state variables involved satisfy two boundary value problems, separately. The paper focused on solving the second-order shape derivative of the objective functional using the velocity method with nonautonomous velocity fields. This work confirms the classical results of Delfour and Zolésio in relating shape derivatives of functionals using velocity method and perturbation of identity technique.
