Abstract The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology has been proposed to address the problem of system frequency and active power oscillation caused by grid-connected new energy power sources. However, the traditional voltage-current double-closed-loop control used in VSG has the disadvantages of poor disturbance immunity and insufficient dynamic response. In light of the issues above, a virtual synchronous generator voltage outer-loop control strategy based on improved linear autonomous disturbance rejection control (ILADRC) is put forth for consideration. Firstly, an improved first-order linear self-immunity control structure is established for the characteristics of the voltage outer loop; then, the… More >

Abstract This paper proposes an adaptive nonlinear proportional-derivative (ANPD) controller for a two-wheeled self-balancing robot (TWSB) modeled by the Lagrange equation with external forces. The proposed control scheme is designed based on the combination of a nonlinear proportional-derivative (NPD) controller and a genetic algorithm, in which the proportional-derivative (PD) parameters are updated online based on the tracking error and the preset error threshold. In addition, the genetic algorithm is employed to adaptively select initial controller parameters, contributing to system stability and improved control accuracy. The proposed controller is basic in design yet simple to implement. The… More >

Abstract In numerous real-world healthcare applications, handling incomplete medical data poses significant challenges for missing value imputation and subsequent clustering or classification tasks. Traditional approaches often rely on statistical methods for imputation, which may yield suboptimal results and be computationally intensive. This paper aims to integrate imputation and clustering techniques to enhance the classification of incomplete medical data with improved accuracy. Conventional classification methods are ill-suited for incomplete medical data. To enhance efficiency without compromising accuracy, this paper introduces a novel approach that combines imputation and clustering for the classification of incomplete data. Initially, the linear More >

Abstract The strategy evolution process of game players is highly uncertain due to random emergent situations and other external disturbances. This paper investigates the issue of strategy interaction and behavioral decision-making among game players in simulated confrontation scenarios within a random interference environment. It considers the possible risks that random disturbances may pose to the autonomous decision-making of game players, as well as the impact of participants’ manipulative behaviors on the state changes of the players. A nonlinear mathematical model is established to describe the strategy decision-making process of the participants in this scenario. Subsequently, the… More >

Abstract Localization is crucial in wireless sensor networks for various applications, such as tracking objects in outdoor environments where GPS (Global Positioning System) or prior installed infrastructure is unavailable. However, traditional techniques involve many anchor nodes, increasing costs and reducing accuracy. Existing solutions do not address the selection of appropriate anchor nodes and selecting localized nodes as assistant anchor nodes for the localization process, which is a critical element in the localization process. Furthermore, an inaccurate average hop distance significantly affects localization accuracy. We propose an improved DV-Hop algorithm based on anchor sets (AS-IDV-Hop) to improve… More >

Abstract Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) provide intelligent navigation and efficient route management, resulting in time savings and cost reductions in the transportation sector. However, the exchange of beacons and messages over public channels among vehicles and roadside units renders these networks vulnerable to numerous attacks and privacy violations. To address these challenges, several privacy and security preservation protocols based on blockchain and public key cryptography have been proposed recently. However, most of these schemes are limited by a long execution time and massive communication costs, which make them inefficient for on-board units (OBUs). Additionally, some… More >

Abstract The source-sink matching optimization problem is one of the more important aspects of carbon capture and storage (CCS) system planning studies, and a large number of studies have been conducted using mathematical modeling to assess the feasibility of deployment in the planning region, thus providing important decision support. A framework of optimization system applicable to source-sink matching analysis was constructed based on the structural relationship between directly connected sources and sinks, taking into account multiple factors (transport characteristics, CO₂ injection rate and connection period, etc.), which can ensure the feasibility of CO₂ pipeline transportation operation and… More >

Abstract Although offset-halves journal bearings (OHJBs) are widely used in marine powertrains, the research on nonlinear tribo-dynamics is still limited, particularly under dynamic loading. To overcome such limitations, this study proposes a novel dynamic model that couples the influences of step load and thermoelastohydrodynamic (TEHD) effect. Based on the numerical model, a transient TEHD analysis for dynamically loaded OHJBs is done. Moreover, a modified stability criterion is developed. Nonlinear behaviors and transient stability of OHJBs under step load are systematically studied. The correlations of bearing characteristics such as the maximum film temperature, minimum film thickness, maximum More >

Abstract In engineering practice, most components are subjected to variable-amplitude cyclic loading, resulting in fatigue damage, which is one of the main forms of damage in engineering structures. Nonlinear damage rule is developed based on linear damage rule, which can predict the fatigue life of structures more accurately. Therefore, we present a topology optimization method considering nonlinear fatigue damage accumulation in the time domain. For the time domain, we adopted the rainflow counting method to evaluate the stress level generated by cyclic loading and the Basquin equation to describe the S-N curve. We applied Morrow's plastic… More >

Abstract In this work, a finite element based reduced-order technique in the framework of mixed nonlinear kinematics is proposed for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of thin-walled structures [1]. The mixed nonlinear kinematics are established by combining the co-rotational formulation with the updated von Kármán formulation. The co-rotational formulation is selected to calculate the internal force and tangent stiffness of a structure; whereas the third- and fourth-order strain energy derivatives are achieved by the updated von Kármán formulation. For geometrically nonlinear problems with a large deflection, reduced-order models with 1 degree of freedom are constructed using the… More >
