Hierarchical Non-Singular Terminal Sliding Mode Control for Constrained Under-Actuated Nonlinear Systems Against Sensor Faults

Background Introduction In modern engineering practices, under-actuated systems are widely used in fields such as overhead cranes, wheeled inverted pendulums, and snake robots due to their simple structure, low energy consumption, and high flexibility. However, the number of control inputs in under-actuated systems is less than the degrees of freed...

The Coupling Vibration Mechanism of Bearing Installation Misalignment and Rub-Impact in Supercritical Shaft Systems

Academic Background With the increasing demand for high-speed and lightweight design in the aviation industry, more and more aviation transmission shaft systems have adopted supercritical design. Supercritical design means that the drive shaft must cross its first critical speed, but when crossing the critical speed, the shaft system will produce s...

Fixed-Time Observation and Control for Network Systems: A Distributed Event-Based Saturation Adaptive Method

Academic Background Complex Networks (CNs) play a crucial role in fields such as sociology, engineering, and natural sciences, and are widely applied in scenarios like power distribution, traffic dispatching, and multi-agent collaboration. However, due to factors such as communication packet loss, sensor noise, and environmental uncertainties, obta...

Set-Membership Estimation for T–S Fuzzy Complex Networks: A Dynamic Coding-Decoding Mechanism

Academic Background In today’s complex network systems, state estimation is a critical issue, especially when dealing with uncertainties and noise. Complex networks typically consist of multiple interconnected nodes, and the dynamic behavior of each node may be influenced by nonlinear factors. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model has demonstrated si...

Nonlinear Vibration Analysis of Delaminated Composite Plate Structures in Supersonic Flow

Background Introduction In aerospace engineering, thin laminated composite structures (such as wings) are prone to vibration under high-speed airflow, which may lead to instability phenomena such as flutter or divergence, affecting the safety and performance of aircraft. Particularly, when delamination (i.e., adhesive failure between layers) exists...
