In this paper, a semi-active impact control system, which consists of a new Magnetorehological elastomer (MRE) absorber with variable stiffness, is proposed and its vibration control with impact load is investigated. An impact testing platform is established and mechanical property of fabricated MRE is tested. Based on Newton’s law the appropriate mathematical model of MRE absorber system is established. PID controller for MRE absorber system is designed to reduce the effect of impact load. Finally, the effectiveness of control strategy is verified by numerical simulation.
Aiming at improving the unreasonable situation of flight delay allocation, an optimization model which contains two cases was proposed. One of the cases is to transfer all the delay to several delayed flights to avoid delay spread, which can increase the flight punctuality rate to ensure the departure of the majority flights. Oppositely, the other is to balance the delay losses of airlines, as well as the passengers, for realizing the fairness. According to the latest data from an airport in western China, the model was verified with genetic algorithm, which indicates that the model not only decrease the total delay losses, but also optimize the flight delay allocation which achieves the initial goal.
During the course of industry control, pure hysteresis, time-varying,non- linear complex systems often occur. It is ineffective to solve the issues above with the traditional fuzzy control and PID control methods. Against the pure hysteresis, time-varying, non- linear characteristics of Aircraft Deicing Fluid rapid heating system, on the basis of Smith Predictor and traditional PID, a Fuzzy-PID control method is proposed based on an adaptive Smith predictor. In this way, pure hysteresis of the system will be compensated, to reduce the overshoot and enhance the stability of the system. By establishing the mathematical model of Aircraft Deicing Fluid rapid heating system and simulating for the model obtain the simulation results, which have shown that the method is effective, can improve the qualities of control and enhance the stability of temperature control system significantly
A follow-up study aimed primarily at investigating late radiation effects on the genital organs and eye lenses was performed between 1999 and 2010 on three individuals who suffered from acute radiation sickness in China. The examination included a medical history, a physical examination, ultrasonography, laboratory analysis, and an ophthalmologic examination. In Case 1, amenorrhea occurred after exposure to a Co source. The uterus and ovaries were significantly narrowed in the second year following exposure. The estradiol level decreased significantly during the first 3 y; progesterone was lowest in the second year; and levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone increased, especially in the first year. The lenses in both eyes appeared opaque 6 mo after the exposure, resulting in a gradual deterioration in visual acuity. In Case 2 (8 y old), the levels of testosterone and estradiol were normal. In Case 3, the levels of testosterone and estradiol were also normal, but the sperm count was 0 from 6 mo to 1 y, and the proportion of abnormal sperm was increased from 3-5 y after the accident. The lenses in Case 3 also began to turn opaque in the ninth year after the accident. In Case 1, the ovarian function was reduced, leading to amenorrhea and early menopause. In Case 3, the sperm count was reduced and the number of abnormal sperm was increased due to testicular damage by radiation. Radiation-induced cataracts occurred in both Case 1 and Case 3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
