In attempting to specify criteria for the design of structures on coastal reefs, it was found that no adequate method existed to derive those criteria from the deep water wave conditions. In order to fill the gap, a program of measurements and analysis was initiated at the University of Hawaii. The program consisted of prototype and laboratory measurements. Great emphasis was placed on reliable field data, which were collected on Ala Moana Reef, in Honolulu. Laboratory investigations on the behavior of waves on shallow reefs are subject to scale effects; verification from field observations is required to obtain reliable results. As a result of this study, a mathematical model was developed for the calculation of wave attenuation and wave set-up on a shallow reef, using the incident waves in the ocean as boundary conditions. This paper discusses the general behavior of waves approaching a shallow reef and presents some essential characteristics of the mathematical model. The study is limited to waves approaching the shoreline at right angles. The results of this study can be extended to breakwaters with wide, submerged berms.

The paper presents the system of predicting the indicators of accreditation of technical universities based on J. Forrester mechanism of system dynamics. According to analysis of cause-and-effect relationships between selected variables of the system (indicators of accreditation of the university) there was built the oriented graph. The complex of mathematical models developed to control the quality of training engineers in Russian higher educational institutions is based on this graph. The article presents an algorithm for constructing a model using one of the simulated variables as an example. The model is a system of non-linear differential equations, the modelling characteristics of the educational process being determined according to the solution of this system. The proposed algorithm for calculating these indicators is based on the system dynamics model and the regression model. The mathematical model is constructed on the basis of the model of system dynamics, which is further tested for compliance with real data using the regression model. The regression model is built on the available statistical data accumulated during the period of the university's work. The proposed approach is aimed at solving complex problems of managing the educational process in universities. The structure of the proposed model repeats the structure of cause-effect relationships in the system, and also provides the person responsible for managing quality control with the ability to quickly and adequately assess the performance of the system.

Firstly, according to the structure characteristics of precision centrifuge, the mathematical model of its dynamic balancing system was set up, and the dynamic balancing scheme of double test surfaces, double emendation surfaces were established. Then the dynamic balance system controller of precision centrifuge was designed. Simulation results show that the controller designed can completely meet the requirements of precision centrifuge dynamic balance control system.

This paper presents small-scale low-speed maneuvering tests with an oceanographic research vessel and the comparison with mathematical model using the real time maneuvering simulator developed by the University of São Paulo (USP). The tests are intended to verify the behavior of the vessel and the mathematical model under transient and low speed tests. The small-scale tests were conducted in deep and shallow waters, with a depth-draft ratio equal to 1.28, in order to verify the simulator ability to represent the vessel maneuverability on both depth conditions. The hydrodynamic coefficients used in the simulator model were obtained by CFD calculations and wind tunnel model tests carried out for this vessel. Standard turning circle and accelerating turn maneuvers were used to compare the experimental and numerical results. A fair agreement was achieved for shallow and deep water. Some differences were observed mainly in the initial phase of the accelerating turn test.

Abstract Clearance is inevitable in the kinematic joints of mechanisms. In this paper the dynamic behavior of a crank-slider mechanism with clearance in its tripod-ball sliding joint is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The mathematical model of this new-type joint is established, and the new concepts of basal system and active system are put forward. Based on the mode-change criterion established in this paper, the consistent equations of motion in full-scale are derived by using Kane method. The experimental rig was set up to measure the effects of the clearance on the dynamic response. Corresponding experimental studies verify the theoretical results satisfactorily. In addition, due to the nonlinear elements in the improved mathematical model of the joint with clearance, the chaotic responses are found in numerical simulation.

TA mathematical model describing heat and mass transfer performance of packed-type parallel flow dehumidifier was set up. The numerical solution of differential equations was derived. Taking the heat and mass transfer coefficients obtained by experiments as the input parameters of the model, the impact of solution inlet parameters on outlet parameter of air was described. The simulation results indicated that the mathematical model could be used to predict the performance of liquid dehumidification. The results showed that the mathematical model can be of great value in the design and improvement of dehumidifier.

A new camless compressed air engine is proposed, which can make the compressed air energy reasonably distributed. Through analysis of the camless compressed air engine, a mathematical model of the working processes was set up. Using the software MATLAB/Simulink for simulation, the pressure, temperature, and air mass of the cylinder were obtained. In order to verify the accuracy of the mathematical model, the experiments were conducted. Moreover, performance analysis was introduced to design compressed air engine. Results show that, firstly, the simulation results have good consistency with the experimental results. Secondly, under different intake pressures, the highest output power is obtained when the crank speed reaches 500 rpm, which also provides the maximum output torque. Finally, higher energy utilization efficiency can be obtained at the lower speed, intake pressure, and valve duration angle. This research can refer to the design of the camless valve of compressed air engine.

In order to help department to make a decision whether the equipment need maintenance, some people trained the sample of characteristic parameter for riveting structure, and set up the model to recognize target by computer vision. However, we are difficult to find the research result about the affiliation between the characteristic parameter of the riveting structure and the model. In this paper, we make the image processing first, and use SVM (Support Vector Machines) algorithm to train the sample of characteristic parameter for rivet head. Finally, we research the affiliation between the characteristic parameter for the rivet head and the mathematical model, and test the accuracy of the model.

This paper studies the mathematical model considering iron loss in the d-q axis of six phase permanent magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM), through the expansion of Field-Oriented Control (FOC) based on three phase PMSM, the simulation model of six phase PMSM under environment of simulink7.0 is set up, which has fast dynamic response, high steady-state precision, and has no problems about current balance compared to dual three phase PMSM. In order to get an accurate simulation results, this mathematical model takes iron loss into account. The simulation results show that iron loss have bad effects on the performance of PMSM especially affect the dynamic response, and to reduce the bad effects, the resistance of the motor core should be increased.

We discuss the kinematics and dynamics of a wheelset rolling on a railway track. The mathematical model of a suspended wheelset rolling with constant speed on a straight track is set up and its dynamics is investigated numerically. The results are presented mainly on bifurcation diagrams. Several kinds of dynamical behavior is identified within the investigated speed range. We find a stationary equilibrium point at low speeds and at higher speeds symmetric and asymmetric oscillations are found and ranges with chaotic motion are identified. The bifurcations are described.
