Chein-Shan Liu¹
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.98, No.4, pp. 375-407, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.098.375
Abstract In this paper we study the nonlinear dynamical system x^·=f(x,t) from a newly developed theory, viewing the time-varying function of sign(||f||²||x||²− 2(f·x)²) = −sign(cos 2θ) as a key factor, where θ is the intersection angle between x and f. It together with sign(cos θ) can reveal the complexity of nonlinear Duffing oscillator and a quadratic ship rolling oscillator. The barcode is formed by plotting sign(||f||²||x||²− 2(f·x)²) with respect to time. We analyze the barcode to point out the bifurcation of subharmonic motions and the range of chaos in the parameter space. The bifurcation diagram obtained by plotting the More >

Zichun Yang^1,2, Maolin Peng^1,3,4, Yueyun Cao¹, Lei Zhang¹
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.98, No.4, pp. 409-442, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.098.409
Abstract A new multi-objective reliability-based robust design optimization (M ORBRDO) model is proposed which integrats the multi-objective robustness, the reliability sensitivity robustness and the six sigma robustness design idea. The pure-quadratic polynomial functions are adopted to fit the performance objective functions (POF) and the ultimate limited state functions (ULSF) of the structure. Based on the ULSF and the checking point method, the equations of the first order reliability index are calculated. The mapping transformation method is employed when the non-normal distribution variables are included. According to the POF and the Taylor series expansion method, the equations… More >

Interval Uncertain Optimization of Vehicle Suspension for Ride Comfort
C. Jiang^1,2, S. Yu¹, H.C. Xie¹, B.C. Li¹
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.98, No.4, pp. 443-467, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.098.443
Abstract Based on the interval analysis method, this paper proposes an uncertain optimization model for the ride comfort in vehicles and achieves the optimal design of vehicle ride comfort under the condition of complicated uncertainty. The spring stiffness and shock absorber damping of suspension is regarded as the design parameters, while the root mean square (RMS) of the vehicle body acceleration is treated as the design objective and the corresponding constraints are composed of suspension stiffness, natural frequency and RMS of suspension dynamic deflection. Moreover, the uncertainties of key parameters, such as sprung mass, tire stiffness, More >
