Fuzzy Control Strategy for Cooperative Non-holonomic Motion of Cybercars with Passengers Vibration Analysis

2021

The cybercars are electric road wheeled non-holonomic vehicles with fully automated driving capabilities. They contribute to sustainable mobility and are employed as passenger vehicles. Non-holonomic mechanics describes the motion of the cybercar constrained by non-integrable constraints, i.e. constraints on the system velocities that do not arise from constraints on the configuration alone. First of all there are thus with dynamic nonholonomic constraints, i.e. constraints preserved by the basic Euler-Lagrange equations (Bloch, 2000; Melluso, 2007; Raimondi & Melluso, 2006-a). Of course, these constraints are not externally imposed on the system but rather are consequences of the equations…

Global attractors from the explosion of singular cycles

1997

Abstract In this paper we announce recent results on the existence and bifurcations of hyperbolic systems leading to non-hyperbolic global attractors.

Spiking patterns emerging from wave instabilities in a one-dimensional neural lattice.

2003

The dynamics of a one-dimensional lattice (chain) of electrically coupled neurons modeled by the FitzHugh-Nagumo excitable system with modified nonlinearity is investigated. We have found that for certain conditions the lattice exhibits a countable set of pulselike wave solutions. The analysis of homoclinic and heteroclinic bifurcations is given. Corresponding bifurcation sets have the shapes of spirals twisting to the same center. The appearance of chaotic spiking patterns emerging from wave instabilities is discussed.

Efficient computation of stable bifurcating branches of nonlinear eigenvalue problems

Ober Ein Rayleigh-Ritz-Verfahren zur Bestimmung Kritischer Werte

1980

This paper is concerned with the existence of critical points for a functional f defined on the level set of a second functional g. Existence of nontrivial solutions for the nonlinear eigenvalue-problem f′(u) = λg′(u) and convergence for a nonlinear analogue to the Rayleigh-Ritz-Method is proven. The results are applied to a nonlinear ordinary eigenvalue problem where it is shown that the lowest point in the continuous spectrum of the associated linearized operator is a bifurcation point of infinite multiplicity.

Kleine periodische L�sungen bei nichtlinearen stark-elliptischen Systemen von partiellen Differentialgleichungen I

1971

Strongly elliptic systems of nonlinear partial differential equations are considered in the case when the derivatives of the solutions occuring in the nonlinear terms have the same order as those in the linear principal part. The existence of periodic solutions for such systems is investigated. It is shown that this problem can be reduced to the study of algebraic bifurcation equations, whose small solutions correspond to the classical solutions of the given problem. A discussion of the bifurcation equations will be given in a forthcoming paper.

Instability and bistability during the growth of a corrosion scale on metals and alloys

1986

This paper summarizes the main results for the interpretation of the self organized corrosion scales observed in oxidation or sulfidation of some metals or alloys. It consists also of a reconsideration of the classical theoretical concepts used in Reactivity of Solids. It proposes new theoretical tools that have been fruitfully utilized in other topics : non linear and coupled processes, stability analysis and bifurcation theory. Some examples are developed, where the corrosion kinetics at high temperature are interpreted in term of chemical bistable system able to oscillate spontaneously and mechanochemical couplings are also taken into account. In according with experimental results, all …

A Singular Multi-Grid Iteration Method for Bifurcation Problems

1984

We propose an efficient technique for the numerical computation of bifurcating branches of solutions of large sparse systems of nonlinear, parameter-dependent equations. The algorithm consists of a nested iteration procedure employing a multi-grid method for singular problems. The basic iteration scheme is related to the Lyapounov-Schmidt method and is widely used for proving the existence of bifurcating solutions. We present numerical examples which confirm the efficiency of the algorithm.

Alūksnes ezera zivju sabiedrība – tās sastāvs un zivju sugu barošanās 2014. gada vasaras sezonā

2015

Bakalaura darbs izstrādāts Vides Risinājumu institūta un Alūksnes novada pašvaldības projekta „Alūksnes ezera gultnes, piekrastes zonas veģetācijas un ekosistēmas pētniecība” ietvaros. Darbā mērķis bija raksturot Alūksnes ezera zivju sabiedrības sastāvu un izpētīt dominējošo zivju sugu barošanās paradumus. Zinātniskā kontrolzveja pamatā veikta pēc Eiropas un Latvijas zivju paraugu ievākšanas standarta, izmantojot Nordic tipa daudzacu žauntīklus. Konstatēts, ka Alūksnes ezera zivju sabiedrība atbilst mērenās klimata joslas mezotrofu ezeru ihtiofaunai un ka no konkrētām zivju sugām gan pēc biomasas, gan pēc skaita dominēja asari Perca fluviatilis. Saistībā ar zivju barošanās paradumiem secinā…

Morphological determination of the phototrophic community composition of biological soil crusts in coastal sand dunes in northern Germany

2022

This dataset comprises the microbial community composition of biological soil crusts in north-German sand dunes. For this we obtained enrichment cultures of phototrophic microorganisms, by placing fragments of biocrusts of the same Petri dishes as used for sequencing, in Petri dishes with Bold Basal (1N BBM) agarized medium (Bischoff and Bold 1963). Cultures were grown under standard laboratory conditions: with a 12-hour alteration of light and dark phases and irradiation of 25 μmol photons m-2 s-1 at a temperature 20 ± 5 ºС. Microscopic study of these raw cultures began in the third week of cultivation. Morphological examinations were performed using Olympus BX53 light microscope with Noma…
