Due to the increasing interests in using functionally graded piezoelectric materials(FGPMs) in the design of advanced micro-electro-mechanical systems, it is important to understand the stability behaviors of the FGPM beams. In this study, considering the effects of geometrical nonlinearity, temperature, and electricity in the constitutive relations and the effect of the magnetic field on the FGPM beam, the Euler-Bernoulli beam model is adopted, and the nonlinear governing equation of motion is derived via Hamilton's principle. A perturbation method, which can decompose the deflection into static and dynamic components, is utilized to linearize the nonlinear governing equation. Then,a dynamic stability analysis is carried out, and the approximate analytical solutions for the nonlinear frequency and boundary frequencies of the unstable region are *** examples are performed to verify the present analysis. The effects of the static deflection, the static load factor, the temperature change, and the magnetic field flux on the stability behaviors of the FGPM beam are discussed. From the proposed analytical solutions and numerical results, one can easily and clearly find the effects of various controlled parameters, such as geometric and physical properties of the system, on the mechanical behaviors of structures, and the conclusions are very important and useful for the design of micro-devices.

Model Predictive control (MPC) is a successful control methodology, which is applied to increasingly complex systems. However, real-time feasibility of MPC can be challenging for complex systems, certainly when an (extremely) large number of constraints have to be adhered to. For such scenarios with a large number of state constraints, this paper proposes two novel MPC schemes for general nonlinear systems, which we call constraint-adaptive MPC. These novel schemes dynamically select at each time step a (varying) set of constraints that are included in the on-line optimization problem. Carefully selecting the included constraints can significantly reduce, as we will demonstrate, the computational complexity with often only a slight impact on the closed-loop performance. Although not all (state) constraints are imposed in the on-line optimization, the schemes still guarantee recursive feasibility and constraint satisfaction. A numerical case study illustrates the proposed MPC schemes and demonstrates the achieved computation time improvements exceeding two orders of magnitude without loss of performance.

This paper presents an analysis of the feasibility of using a modified Capon algorithm for signal arrival angle estimation in a MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) monostatic radar. A comprehensive analysis of the state of the art in signal arrival angle estimation algorithms used in many fields of technology, not only in radiolocation, has been carried out. The methodology of simulation studies preparing the newly implemented algorithm for operation in a radar system is presented. A change from the traditional Capon algorithm was proposed in that instead of inverting the entire covariance matrix of the received data, only the upper triangular matrix R formed by decomposing the QR of the covariance matrix of the received data into the orthogonal matrix Q and the upper triangular matrix R was subjected to the inversion operation. The presented research is a comprehensive view on adaptation of angle of arrival estimation algorithms in various fields of technology, which so far has been presented in a selective manner or does not necessarily take into account all technical aspects that have a significant influence on the application of the developed algorithm in real systems. The idea of using signal arrival angle estimation algorithms and the influence of signal to noise ratio on the quality of object detection are presented. The presented results of simulation studies confirm the validity of the proposed approach to signal arrival angle estimation algorithms in MIMO monostatic radar.

The notion of subset of positive externalities is explored. The subset of positive externalities for games by two pseudo-gradient agents with quadratic payoffs is characterized. It is shown that only a certain subset of the subset of positive externalities can be a positively invariant set of the pseudo-gradient dynamics. A necessary and sufficient condition such that this subset is a positively invariant set of the pseudo-gradient dynamics is given. The results are illustrated with an example.
