We present a novel class of reduced-order regenerator models that is based on Endoreversible Thermodynamics. The models rest upon the idea of an internally reversible (perfect) regenerator, even though they are not limited to the reversible description. In these models, the temperatures of the working gas that alternately streams out on the regenerator’s hot and cold sides are defined as functions of the state of the regenerator matrix. The matrix is assumed to feature a linear spatial temperature distribution. Thus, the matrix has only two degrees of freedom that can, for example, be identified with its energy and entropy content. The dynamics of the regenerator is correspondingly expressed in terms of balance equations for energy and entropy. Internal irreversibilities of the regenerator can be accounted for by introducing source terms to the entropy balance equation. Compared to continuum or nodal regenerator models, the number of degrees of freedom and numerical effort are reduced considerably. As will be shown, instead of the obvious choice of variables energy and entropy, if convenient, a different pair of variables can be used to specify the state of the regenerator matrix and formulate the regenerator’s dynamics. In total, we will discuss three variants of this endoreversible regenerator model, which we will refer to as ES, EE, and EEn-regenerator models.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies capturing vortex-induced vibration (VIV) phenomena in a wide range of both the hydrodynamics and the structural parameters are important, because the analysis outcomes can be applied to numerical prediction codes, complement experimental measurement results and suggest a modification of some practical design guidelines. Nevertheless, in spite of many published studies on VIV, CFD studies for two dimensional coupled cross-flow/in-line VIV even with two degrees of freedom (2-DoF), are still quite limited. More CFD studies which can control the equivalence of system fluid-structure parameters in different directions with reduced uncertainty are needed to improve the numerical model empirical coefficients and capability to effectively match numerical predictions and experimental outcomes. This paper presents a CFD study on the 2-DoF VIV of elastically mounted circular cylinder with a low mass ratio (m* = 2.55). The Reynolds number is fixed to be 150 and the reduced flow velocity parameter is varied by changing the cross-flow natural frequency. To model the problem, two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations coupled with linear structural equations in the in-line and cross-flow directions are solved. Particular attention is paid to the determination of maximum attainable amplitudes and the associated instantaneous lift and drag forces and hydrodynamic coefficients. These results are compared with the obtained results from alternative numerical prediction outcomes using new reduced-order models with four nonlinearly coupled wake-structure oscillators (Srinil and Zanganeh, 2012). Some qualitative and quantitative aspects are discussed. Overall, the important VIV characteristics are captured including the dual-resonance and figure-of-eight trajectories. Through the flow visualization study, it is found that as the dual-resonance is excited, a P+S wake pattern appears.

For the analysis of structural components, the finite element method (FEM) has become the most widely applied tool for numerical stress- and subsequent durability analyses. In industrial application advanced FE-models result in high numbers of degrees of freedom, making dynamic analyses time-consuming and expensive. As detailed finite element models are necessary for accurate stress results, the resulting data and connected numerical effort from dynamic stress analysis can be high. For the reduction of that effort, sophisticated methods have been developed to limit numerical calculations and processing of data to only small fractions of the global model. Therefore, detailed knowledge of the position of a component’s highly stressed areas is of great advantage for any present or subsequent analysis steps. In this paper an efficient method for the a priori detection of highly stressed areas of force-excited components is presented, based on modal stress superposition. As the component’s dynamic response and corresponding stress is always a function of its excitation, special attention is paid to the influence of the loading position. Based on the frequency domain solution of the modally decoupled equations of motion, a coefficient for a priori weighted superposition of modal von Mises stress fields is developed and validated on a simply supported cantilever beam structure with variable loading positions. The proposed approach is then applied to a simplified industrial model of a twist beam rear axle.


Transmission Line model are an important role in the electrical power supply. Modeling of such system remains a challenge for simulations are necessary for designing and controlling modern power systems.In order to analyze the numerical approach for a benchmark collection Comprehensive of some needful real-world examples, which can be utilized to evaluate and compare mathematical approaches for model reduction. The approach is based on retaining the dominant modes of the system and truncation comparatively the less significant once.as the reduced order model has been derived from retaining the dominate modes of the large-scale stable system, the reduction preserves the stability. The strong demerit of the many MOR methods is that, the steady state values of the reduced order model does not match with the higher order systems. This drawback has been try to eliminated through the Different MOR method using sssMOR tools. This makes it possible for a new assessment of the error system Offered that the Observability Gramian of the original system has as soon as been thought about, an H∞ and H2 error bound can be calculated with minimal numerical effort for any minimized model attributable to The reduced order model (ROM) of a large-scale dynamical system is essential to effortlessness the study of the system utilizing approximation Algorithms. The response evaluation is considered in terms of response constraints and graphical assessments. the application of Approximation methods is offered for arising ROM of the large-scale LTI systems which consist of benchmark problems. The time response of approximated system, assessed by the proposed method, is also shown which is excellent matching of the response of original system when compared to the response of other existing approaches .

This paper concentrates on a robust resonant control strategy of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for electric drivers with model uncertainties and external disturbances to improve the control performance of the current loop. Firstly, to reduce the torque ripple of PMSM, the resonant controller with fractional order (FO) calculus is introduced. Then, a robust two degrees-of-freedom (Robust-TDOF) control strategy was designed based on the modified resonant controller. Finally, by combining the two control methods, this study proposes an enhanced Robust-TDOF regulation method, named as the robust two degrees-of-freedom resonant controller (Robust-TDOFR), to guarantee the robustness of model uncertainty and to further improve the performance with minimized periodic torque ripples. Meanwhile, a tuning method was constructed followed by stability and robust stability analysis. Furthermore, the proposed Robust-TDOFR control method was applied in the current loop of a PMSM to suppress the periodic current harmonics caused by non-ideal factors of inverter and current measurement errors. Finally, simulations and experiments were performed to validate our control strategy. The simulation and experimental results showed that the THDs (total harmonic distortion) of phase current decreased to a level of 0.69% and 5.79% in the two testing environments.

Often the input values used in mathematical models for rolling bearings are in a wide range, i.e., very small values of deformation and damping are confronted with big values of stiffness in the governing equations, which leads to miscalculations. This paper presents a two degrees of freedom (2-DOF) dimensionless mathematical model for ball bearings describing a procedure, which helps to scale the problem and reveal the relationships between dimensionless terms and their influence on the system’s response. The derived mathematical model considers nonlinear features as stiffness, damping, and radial internal clearance referring to the Hertzian contact theory. Further, important features are also taken into account including an external load, the eccentricity of the shaft-bearing system, and shape errors on the raceway investigating variable dynamics of the ball bearing. Analysis of obtained responses with Fast Fourier Transform, phase plots, orbit plots, and recurrences provide a rich source of information about the dynamics of the system and it helped to find the transition between the periodic and chaotic response and how it affects the topology of RPs and recurrence quantificators.
