According to the documents, an ancient Chinese carpenter named Lu Ban invented a four-legged wooden horse carriage in the Chou Dynasty in ancient China, around 480 B.C. This wooden horse carriage could simulate the walking gait of a horse very well but it needed a carriage to keep balance while walking. This paper proposes a method of stability analysis model for the locomotion of a quadruped wooden horse without the support of a carriage. First of all, four most unstable conditions are constructed based on the gait theory of the quadruped wooden horse. The stability areas are obtained by taking the intersections of supporting boundaries that are constructed under various unstable conditions for walking on even and uneven terrain. These results of the stability analysis model are useful for supervising the stability of locomotion of a quadruped.

This study constructs a nonlinear dynamic model of articulated vehicles and a model of hydraulic steering system. The equations of state required for nonlinear vehicle dynamics models, stability analysis models, and corresponding eigenvalue analysis are obtained by constructing Newtonian mechanical equilibrium equations. The objective and subjective causes of the snake oscillation and relevant indicators for evaluating snake instability are analysed using several vehicle state parameters. The influencing factors of vehicle stability and specific action mechanism of the corresponding factors are analysed by combining the eigenvalue method with multiple vehicle state parameters. The centre of mass position and hydraulic system have a more substantial influence on the stability of vehicles than the other parameters. Vehicles can be in a complex state of snaking and deviating. Different eigenvalues have varying effects on different forms of instability. The critical velocity of the linear stability analysis model obtained through the eigenvalue method is relatively lower than the critical velocity of the nonlinear model.

A mobile robot traversing an uneven terrain can undergo tip over instability when one or more wheels of the mobile robot losses contact with the uneven terrain. In this paper, we study the tip over stability of a three wheeled mobile robot. The three wheeled mobile robot studied in this paper has torus shaped rear wheels and have the ability of lateral tilting – a condition required for slip free motion on uneven terrain. The torus shaped wheels and slip free motion makes the dynamics and tip over stability analysis more difficult and interesting. In this paper, the force-angle stability measure technique is used to analyze and detect tip over instability. Simulation results of the stability analysis shows that the wheeled mobile robot with lateral tilt of rear wheels is capable of moving on certain kinds of rough terrains without tip over.

The new arms form of radial gate—dendritic arms is introduced for the proper mechanical mechanism, however the stability design is very difficult. According to the stability theory of structure, the stability analysis model of step column with lateral restraints was proposed for dendritic arms, some equations was derived from the principle of minimum potential energy, the practical formulas of buckling bearing capacity and effective length coefficient were provided. According to an example, the accuracy on formulas was verified by finite analysis method.

The internal structure of eco-economic system is relatively complex, and its stability is easily affected by external environmental factors such as region, which results in poor accuracy of die results of its analysis. Based on this, the stability analysis model of eco-economic system based on discrete selection is proposed. In order to improve the accuracy of eco-economic system analysis, the characteristics of discrete selection model are analyzed. Based on the principles of scientificity, practicability, regionality, operability and dynamic, and the comprehensive development of four sub-systems of economy, land, environment and society, the indexes of economy, land, environment and society are selected to build the stability evaluation of eco-economic system Price index system: through adjusting the structure of resource utilization, the indexes are selected hierarchically to truly reflect the structure of resource utilization. The weight of each index is obtained by AHP, and the component of each index in the evaluation system is reasonably divided. According to the theory of stochastic utility, the elements of discrete selection model are analyzed, and then the discrete selection model is constructed. By studying the close degree of each evaluation object and ideal solution, the stability analysis of ecological economic system is realized. The experimental results show that the influence of the proposed model on net income per unit is relatively stable at the positive and negative balance points, which is consistent with the actual situation., and the shortest analysis time is 1.2 min, which is feasible.

The limit equilibrium method’s analysis index cannot be measured by on-site monitoring equipment and cannot be used for monitoring and early warning of rock instability. The existing rock stability evaluation methods based on vibration information cannot evaluate the stability of rocks quantitatively. In this paper, the slope’s constraints on the rock were simplified to springs and a three-dimensional analysis model of rock vibration was established. The equation for calculating the natural frequency of rock that includes the spring stiffness as an indicator was derived. The rock stability calculation function containing the index of natural frequency was brought into the traditional rock stability coefficient calculation equation, and a new rock stability analysis method based on natural frequency was established. The experiment proved the measurability of the index of the natural frequency of rock and the method’s effectiveness for the stability analysis of the rock based on natural frequency.

This paper focuses on the stability analysis of the Nanjung Water Diversion Twin Tunnels using convergence measurement. The Nanjung Tunnel is horseshoe-shaped in cross-section, 10.2 m x 9.2 m in dimension, and 230 m in length. The location of the tunnel is in Curug Jompong, Margaasih Subdistrict, Bandung. Convergence monitoring was done for 144 days between February 18 and July 11, 2019. The results of the convergence measurement were recorded and plotted into the curves of convergence vs. day and convergence vs. distance from tunnel face. From these plots, the continuity of the convergence and the convergence rate in the tunnel roof and wall were then analyzed. The convergence rates from each tunnel were also compared to empirical values to determine the level of tunnel stability. In general, the trend of convergence rate shows that the Nanjung Tunnel is stable without any indication of instability. Although there was a spike in the convergence rate at several STA in the measured span, that spike was not replicated by the convergence rate in the other measured spans and it was not continuous. The stability of the Nanjung Tunnel is also confirmed from the critical strain analysis, in which most of the STA measured have strain magnitudes located below the critical strain line and are less than 1%.
