    Harmonic Balance Methods: A Review and Recent Developments

    Zipu Yan1,2, Honghua Dai1,2,*, Qisi Wang1,2, Satya N. Atluri3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.028198
    Abstract The harmonic balance (HB) method is one of the most commonly used methods for solving periodic solutions of both weakly and strongly nonlinear dynamical systems. However, it is confined to low-order approximations due to complex symbolic operations. Many variants have been developed to improve the HB method, among which the time domain HB-like methods are regarded as crucial improvements because of their fast computation and simple derivation. So far, there are two problems remaining to be addressed. i) A dozen of different versions of HB-like methods, in frequency domain or time domain or in hybrid, have been developed; unfortunately, misclassification… More >

    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Computational Aspects of Nonlinear Operator and Fixed Point Theory with Applications)
    Abstract The real world is filled with uncertainty, vagueness, and imprecision. The concepts we meet in everyday life are vague rather than precise. In real-world situations, if a model requires that conclusions drawn from it have some bearings on reality, then two major problems immediately arise, viz. real situations are not usually crisp and deterministic; complete descriptions of real systems often require more comprehensive data than human beings could recognize simultaneously, process and understand. Conventional mathematical tools which require all inferences to be exact, are not always efficient to handle imprecisions in a wide variety of practical situations. Following the latter… More >

    Mohammed M. Ali Al-Shamiri1,2, Ghous Ali3,*, Muhammad Zain Ul Abidin3, Arooj Adeel3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.027844
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Decision making Modeling, Methods and Applications of Advanced Fuzzy Theory in Engineering and Science)
    Abstract Spherical fuzzy soft expert set (SFSES) theory blends the perks of spherical fuzzy sets and group decision-making into a unified approach. It allows solutions to highly complicated uncertainties and ambiguities under the unbiased supervision and group decision-making of multiple experts. However, SFSES theory has some deficiencies such as the inability to interpret and portray the bipolarity of decision-parameters. This work highlights and overcomes these limitations by introducing the novel spherical fuzzy bipolar soft expert sets (SFBSESs) as a powerful hybridization of spherical fuzzy set theory with bipolar soft expert sets (BSESs). Followed by the development of certain set-theoretic operations and… More >

    Abstract In this paper, the response properties of galloping energy harvesters under bounded random parameter excitation are studied theoretically. The first-order approximate solution of the galloping energy harvester is derived by applying the multi-scales method. The expression for the largest Lyapunov exponent that determines the trivial solution is derived, and the corresponding simulation diagrams, including the largest Lyapunov exponent diagrams and time domain diagrams, verify our results. Then the steady-state response moments of the nontrivial solution are studied using the moment method, and the analytical expressions for the first-order and second-order moments of the voltage amplitude are obtained, respectively.

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.026920
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence for Mobile Edge Computing in IoT)
    Abstract The data in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) contains tremendous market value, and data sharing can maximize the usefulness of the data. However, certain data is quite sensitive, and sharing it directly may violate privacy. Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) is a secure distributed machine learning framework that completes joint model training by passing encrypted model parameters rather than raw data, so there is no data privacy leakage during the training process. Therefore, the VFL can build a bridge between data demander and owner to realize data sharing while protecting data privacy. Typically, the VFL requires a third party for key distribution… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.027595
    (This article belongs to this Special Issue: Recent Advances in Backscatter and Intelligent Reflecting Surface Communications for 6G-enabled Internet of Things Networks)
    Abstract In wireless communications, the Ambient Backscatter Communication (AmBC) technique is a promising approach, detecting user presence accurately at low power levels. At low power or a low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), there is no dedicated power for the users. Instead, they can transmit information by reflecting the ambient Radio Frequency (RF) signals in the spectrum. Therefore, it is essential to detect user presence in the spectrum for the transmission of data without loss or without collision at a specific time. In this paper, the authors proposed a novel Spectrum Sensing (SS) detection technique in the Cognitive Radio (CR) spectrum, by developing… More >
