Abstract As a novel kind of particle method for explicit dynamics, the finite particle method (FPM) does not require the formation or solution of global matrices, and the evaluations of the element equivalent forces and particle displacements are decoupled in nature, thus making this method suitable for parallelization. The FPM also requires an acceleration strategy to overcome the heavy computational burden of its explicit framework for time-dependent dynamic analysis. To this end, a GPU-accelerated parallel strategy for the FPM is proposed in this paper. By taking advantage of the independence of each step of the FPM workflow, a generic parallelized computational… More >

Abstract In the optimal control problem of nonlinear dynamical system, the Hamiltonian formulation is useful and powerful to solve an optimal control force. However, the resulting Euler-Lagrange equations are not easy to solve, when the performance index is complicated, because one may encounter a two-point boundary value problem of nonlinear differential algebraic equations. To be a numerical method, it is hard to exactly preserve all the specified conditions, which might deteriorate the accuracy of numerical solution. With this in mind, we develop a novel algorithm to find the solution of the optimal control problem of nonlinear Duffing oscillator, which can exactly… More >

Abstract Friction systems are a kind of typical non-linear dynamical systems in the actual engineering and often generate abundant dynamics phenomena. Because of non-smooth characteristics, it is difficult to handle these systems by conventional analysis methods directly. At the same time, random perturbation often affects friction systems and makes these systems more complicated. In this context, we investigate the steady-state stochastic responses and stochastic P-bifurcation of friction systems under random excitations in this paper. And in order to retain the non-smooth of friction system, the generalized cell mapping (GCM) method is first used to the original stochastic friction systems without any… More >

Abstract In this paper, a hybrid passive/active vibration (HPAV) controller of a loosely connected spacecraft consisting of a servicing satellite, a target and an X-shape structure isolator is first proposed to suppress vibrations of the system when subjected to the impulsive external excitations during the on-orbit missions. The passive dynamic response of the combined system can be adjusted appropriately to achieve the desired vibration isolation performance by tuning the structural parameters of the bio-inspired X-shape structure. Moreover, the adaptive control design through dynamic scaling technique is selected as the active component to maintain high vibration isolation performance in the presence of… More >

Abstract This paper investigates a novel quasi fixed-time orbit tracking control method for spacecraft around an asteroid in the presence of uncertain dynamics and unknown uncertainties. To quantitatively characterize the transient and steady-state responses of orbit tracking error system, a continuous performance function is devised via using a quartic polynomial. Then, integrating backstepping control technique and barrier Lyapunov function leads to a quasi fixed-time convergent orbit tracking controller without using any fractional state information and symbolic functions. Finally, two groups of illustrative examples are employed to test the effectiveness of the proposed orbit control method. More >

Abstract Combining adaptive theory with an advanced second-order sliding mode control algorithm, a roll stabilization controller with aerodynamic disturbance and actuator failure consideration for spinning flight vehicles is proposed in this paper. The presented controller is summarized as an “observer-controller” system. More specifically, an adaptive second-order sliding mode observer is presented to select the proper design parameters and estimate the knowledge of aerodynamic disturbance and actuator failure, while the proposed roll stabilization control scheme can drive both roll angle and rotation rate smoothly converge to the desired value. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. More >

Abstract Recent studies of the space debris environment in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) have shown that the critical density of space debris has been reached in certain regions. The Active Debris Removal (ADR) mission, to mitigate the space debris density and stabilize the space debris environment, has been considered as a most effective method. In this paper, a novel two-level optimization strategy for multi-debris removal mission in LEO is proposed, which includes the low-level and high-level optimization process. To improve the overall performance of the multi-debris active removal mission and obtain multiple Pareto-optimal solutions, the ADR mission is seen as a… More >

Abstract To study the parameter estimating effects of a free-floating tumbling space target, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) scheme is utilized with different high-nonlinear translational and rotational coupled kinematic & dynamic models on the LIDAR measurements. Applying the aforementioned models and measurements results in the situation where one single state can be estimated differently with varying accuracies since the EKFs based on different models have different observabilities. In the proposed EKFs, the traditional quaternions based kinematics and dynamics and the dual vector quaternions (DVQ) based kinematics and dynamics are used for the modeling of the relative motions between a chaser satellite… More >

Abstract Aimed at the problem of final translation of space rendezvous for the applications such as docking, inspection and tracking, optimal straight-line guidance algorithm based on pulse/continuous low-thrust in the context of Clohessy-Wiltshire dynamics is proposed. Two modes of guidance strategy: varying-speed and fixed-speed approaching scheme for V-bar and R-bar approach by using constant/finite low-thrust propulsion respectively are studied, and the corresponding fuel-optimal conditions are obtained. Numerical simulation is conducted to verify and test the proposed algorithms. The results show that there is generally no different between the fuel consumptions by using the two different approaching modes for V-bar case. However,… More >

Abstract A closed-form solution to the angles-only initial relative orbit determination (IROD) problem for space rendezvous with non-cooperated target is developed, where a method of hybrid dynamics with the concept of virtual formation is introduced to analytically solve the problem. Emphasis is placed on developing the solution based on hybrid dynamics (i.e., Clohessy-Wiltshire equations and two-body dynamics), obtaining formation geometries that produce relative orbit state observability, and deriving the approximate analytic error covariance for the IROD solution. A standard Monte Carlo simulation system based on two-body dynamics is used to verify the feasibility and evaluate the performance proposed algorithms. The sensitivity… More >

Abstract Based on wave interference, a methodology to realize the total transmission phenomenon of SH0 waves is proposed in this paper. After a systematical theoretical investigation, an exact frequency of a flat plate consisting of another medium with finite length, is obtained, which is furthermore exemplified by the finite element method. This frequency is the same as the classical Fabry-Perot condition and dependent on the thickness of the material. It has been revealed that an SH0 wave, with its wavelength equal to twice of the length of another medium, can totally transmit across the medium without reflection. Especially when the impedance… More >

Abstract The emergence of single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has introduced new information about the structure of cells, diseases, and their associated biological factors. One of the main uses of scRNA-seq is identifying cell populations, which sometimes leads to the detection of rare cell populations. However, the new method is still in its infancy and with its advantages comes computational challenges that are just beginning to address. An important tool in the analysis is dimensionality reduction, which transforms high dimensional data into a meaningful reduced subspace. The technique allows noise removal, visualization and compression of high-dimensional data. This paper presents a new… More >

Abstract In this study, transient non-Fourier heat transfer in a solid cylinder is analytically solved based on dual-phase-lag for constant axial heat flux condition. Governing equations for the model are expressed in two-dimensional cylindrical coordinates; the equations are nondimensionalized and exact solution for the equations is presented by using the separation of variable method. Results showed that the dual-phase-lag model requires less time to meet the steady temperature compared with single-phase-lag model. On the contrary, thermal wave diffusion speed for the dual-phase-lag model is greater than the single-phase-lag model. Also the effect of relaxation time in dual-phase-lag model has been taken… More >
