    Abstract This paper deals with the fixed-time adaptive time-varying matrix projective synchronization (ATVMPS) of different dimensional chaotic systems (DDCSs) with time delays and unknown parameters. Firstly, to estimate the unknown parameters, adaptive parameter updated laws are designed. Secondly, to realize the fixed-time ATVMPS of the time-delayed DDCSs, an adaptive delay-unrelated controller is designed, where time delays of chaotic systems are known or unknown. Thirdly, some simple fixed-time ATVMPS criteria are deduced, and the rigorous proof is provided by employing the inequality technique and Lyapunov theory. Furthermore, the settling time of fixed-time synchronization (Fix-TS) is obtained, which More >

    Abstract Water distribution network (WDN) leakage management has received increased attention in recent years. One of the most successful leakage-control strategies is to divide the network into District Metered Areas (DMAs). As a multi-staged technique, the generation of DMAs is a difficult task in design and implementation (i.e., clustering, sectorization, and performance evaluation). Previous studies on DMAs implementation did not consider the potential use of existing valves in achieving the objective. In this work, a methodology is proposed for detecting clusters and reducing the cost of additional valves and DMA sectorization by considering existing valves as… More >

    Abstract It is essential to fully understand master the traffic characteristics of the self-stabilizing control effect and road characteristics to ensure the regular operation of transportation. Traffic flow on curved roads and slopes is irregular and more complicated than that on the straight road. However, most of the research only considers the effect of self-stabilizing in the straight road. This study attempts to bridge this deficiency from the following three aspects. First, we review the potential influencing factors of traffic flow stability, which are related to the vehicle's steady velocity, history velocity, and the turn radius… More >

    Abstract The Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method is advantageous for the linear elastic fracture and crackgrowth analysis of solid structures, because only boundary and crack-surface elements are needed. However, for engineering structures subjected to body forces such as rotational inertia and gravitational loads, additional domain integral terms in the Galerkin boundary integral equation will necessitate meshing of the interior of the domain. In this study, weakly-singular SGBEM for fracture analysis of three-dimensional structures considering rotational inertia and gravitational forces are developed. By using divergence theorem or alternatively the radial integration method, the domain integral terms caused More >
