The use of amorphous ferromagnetic alloys in transformer construction allows reducing no-load losses by 4 times or more. At the same time, the magnetization curve of amorphous steel has a shape that is close to a rectangle, which significantly distorts the shape of the no-load current curve. This is accompanied by inrush current increases when a saturated transformer is turned on. However, there are no publications devoted to this issue in the periodicals. The purpose of this work is to develop a dynamic model and study the dynamics of an amorphous steel core single-phase transformer (TAS) operating at an arbitrary external load. The calculation of the electrical circuit was made by a one-step method based on a modified 2nd-order Rosenbrock formula, and the circuit parameters were calculated by the finite element method. We have developed dynamic models of the single-phase transformer based on the use of controlled current sources and EMF and implemented in the MatLab Simulink SimPowerSystem. These models allowed us to take into account the effect produced by the practically rectangular shape of the magnetization curve of the amorphous steel used to make the core on the operation of a saturated transformer. It has been established that the inrush current occurring when a saturated TAS is switched on can exceed the rated current tenfold. A significant distortion of the current curve has been detected in the first periods even when the transformer operates at nominal load. The developed models can be used to study the operation of a transformer at an arbitrary load. These models can be developed further. It has been found that a significant effect on the transformer operation is produced by the shape of the amorphous steel magnetization curve.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to achieve the optimal system design of a four-wheel mobile robot on transmission line maintenance, as the authors know transmission line mobile robot is a kind of special robot which runs on high-voltage cable to replace or assist manual power maintenance operation. In the process of live working, the manipulator, working end effector and the working environment are located in the narrow space and with heterogeneous shapes, the robot collision-free obstacle avoidance movement is the premise to complete the operation task. In the simultaneous operation, the mechanical properties between the manipulator effector and the operation object are the key to improve the operation reliability. These put forward higher requirements for the mechanical configuration and dynamic characteristics of the robot, and this is the purpose of the manuscript. Design/methodology/approach Based on the above, aiming at the task of tightening the tension clamp for the four-split transmission lines, the paper proposed a four-wheel mobile robot mechanism configuration and its terminal tool which can adapt to the walking and operation on multi-split transmission lines. In the study, the dynamic models of the rigid robot and flexible transmission line are established, respectively, and the dynamic model of rigid-flexible coupling system is established on this basis, the working space and dynamic characteristics of the robot have been simulated in ADAMS and MATLAB. Findings The research results show that the mechanical configuration of this robot can complete the tightening operation of the four-split tension clamp bolts and the motion of robot each joint meets the requirements of driving torque in the operation process, which avoids the operation failure of the robot system caused by the insufficient or excessive driving force of the robot joint torque. Originality/value Finally, the engineering practicability of the mechanical configuration and dynamic model proposed in the paper has been verified by the physical prototype. The originality value of the research is that it has double important theoretical significance and practical application value for the optimization of mechanical structure parameters and electrical control parameters of transmission line mobile robots.

The contact process of a space docking device needs verification before launching. The verification cannot only rely on the software simulation since the contact dynamic models are not accurate enough yet, especially when the geometric shape of the device is complex. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation is a choice to perform the ground test, where the contact dynamic model is replaced by a real device and the real contact occurs. However, the Hardware-in-the-loop simulation suffers from energy increase and instability since time delay is unavoidable. The existing delay compensation methods are mainly focused on a uniaxial or three-dimensional contact. In this paper, a force-based delay compensation method is proposed for the hardware-in-the-loop simulation of a six degree-of-freedom space contact. A six degree-of-freedom dynamic model of the spacecraft motion is derived, and a six degree-of-freedom delay compensation method is proposed. The delay is divided into track delay and measurement delay, which are compensated individually. Experiment results show that the proposed delay compensation method is effective for the six degree-of-freedom space contact.

In this paper, an analytical reduced dynamic model of a rail vehicle system is developed. This model considers only 38 degrees of freedom of the rail vehicle system. This reduced model can predict the dynamic behaviour of the rail vehicle while being simpler than existing dynamic models. The developed model is validated using experimental results found in the bibliography and its results are compared with existing more complex models from the literature. The developed model is used for the passenger comfort evaluation, which is based on the value of the weighted root mean square acceleration according to the ISO 2631 standard. Several parameters of the system, i.e., passenger position, loading of the railway vehicle and its speed, and their effect on the passenger comfort are investigated. It was shown that the level of comfort is mostly affected by the speed of the railway vehicle and the position of the seat. The load, however, did not have a significant effect on the level of comfort of the passenger.

Crystalline Ni2B, Ni3B, and Ni4B3 are synthesized by a single-step method using autogenous pressure from the reaction of NaBH4 and Ni precursors. The effect of reaction temperature, pressure, time, and starting materials on the composition of synthesized products, particle morphologies, and magnetic properties is demonstrated. High yields of Ni2B (>98%) are achieved at 2.3–3.4 MPa and ~670 °C over five hours. Crystalline Ni3B or Ni4B3 form in conjunction with Ni2B at higher temperature or higher autogenous pressure in proportions influenced by the ratios of initial reactants. For the same starting ratios of reactants, a longer reaction time or higher pressure shifts equilibria to lower yields of Ni2B. Using this approach, yields of ~88% Ni4B3 (single phase orthorhombic) and ~72% Ni3B are obtained for conditions 1.9 MPa < Pmax < 4.9 MPa and 670 °C < Tmax < 725 °C. Gas-solid reaction is the dominant transformation mechanism that results in formation of Ni2B at lower temperatures than conventional solid-state methods.

Traditionally traffic demand models require as input the impedance of a demand with respect to the network supply; mode choice or departure choice for example, take into account the travel time for each option. Bearing this in mind, the main criticism of using static models to evaluate travel times is that the estimated travel time could diverge considerably because these models have no capacity constraints. On the other hand, dynamic models, such as mesoscopic models, have a level of detail that is sometimes unnecessarily high for the final requirements. The Quasi-dynamic model developed in Aimsun could contribute to a more realistic estimate of the travel time while avoiding the need for a full dynamic model. This paper presents the integration of a Quasi-dynamic model inside the integrated framework of Aimsun and evaluates a comparison of all models in terms of travel time estimation. The evaluation is performed using real networks validated with real data sets.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.4127

Improvements in quantitative measurements of human physical activity are proving extraordinarily useful for studying the underlying musculoskeletal system. Dynamic models of human movement support clinical efforts to analyze, rehabilitate injuries. They are also used in biomechanics to understand and diagnose motor pathologies, find new motor strategies that decrease the risk of injury, and predict potential problems from a particular procedure. In addition, they provide valuable constraints for understanding neural circuits. This paper describes a physics-based movement analysis method for analyzing and simulating bipedal humanoid movements. The model includes the major body segments and joints to report human movements' energetic components. Its 48 degrees of freedom strike a balance between very detailed models that include muscle models and straightforward two-dimensional models. It has sufficient accuracy to analyze and synthesize movements captured in real-time interactive applications, such as psychophysics experiments using virtual reality or human-in-the-loop teleoperation of a simulated robotic system. The dynamic model is fast and robust while still providing results sufficiently accurate to be used to animate a humanoid character. It can also estimate internal joint forces used during a movement to create effort-contingent stimuli and support controlled experiments to measure the dynamics generating human behaviors systematically. The paper describes the innovative features that allow the model to integrate its dynamic equations accurately and illustrates its performance and accuracy with demonstrations. The model has a two-foot stance ability, capable of generating results comparable with an experiment done with subjects, and illustrates the uncontrolled manifold concept. Additionally, the model's facility to capture large energetic databases opens new possibilities for theorizing as to human movement function. The model is freely available.

Airline seat inventory control is about “selling the right seats to the right people at the right time”. In this paper, the problem of determining optimal booking policy for multiple fare classes in a pool of identical seats for multi‐leg flights is considered. During the time prior to departure of a multi‐leg flight, decisions must be made concerning the allocation of reserved seats to passengers requesting space on the full or partial spans of the flight. It will be noted that in the case of multi‐leg flights the long‐haul passengers are often unable to obtain seats because the shorter‐haul passengers block them. For large commercial airlines, efficiently setting and updating seat allocation targets for each passenger category on each multi‐leg flight is an extremely difficult problem. This paper presents static and dynamic models of airline seat inventory control for multi‐leg flights with multiple fare classes, which allow one to maximize the expected contribution to profit. The dynamic model uses the most recent demand and capacity information and allows one to allocate seats dynamically and anticipatorily over time.
