A system of three-variable differential equations, which has a nonstationary trajectory transition through the control of a single rate parameter, is formulated. For the nondimensional system, the critical trajectory creeps before a transition in a long-lasting plateau region in which the velocity vector of the system hardly changes and then diverges positively or negatively in finite time. The mathematical model well represents the compressive viscoelasticity of a spring-damper structure simulated by the multibody dynamics analysis. In the simulation, the post-transition behaviors realize a tangent stiffness of the self-contacted structure that is polarized after transition. The mathematical model is reduced not only to concisely express the abnormal compression problem, but also to elucidate the intrinsic mechanism of creep-to-transition trajectories in a general system.

In this paper we address the problem of adaptive state observation of affine-in-the-states time-varying systems with delayed measurements and unknown parameters. The development of the results proposed in the [Bobtsov et al. 2021a] and in the [Bobtsov et al. 2021c] is considered. The case with known parameters has been studied by many researchers—see [Sanz et al. 2019, Bobtsov et al. 2021b] and references therein—where, similarly to the approach adopted here, the system is treated as a linear time-varying system. We show that the parameter estimation-based observer (PEBO) design proposed in [Ortega et al. 2015, 2021] provides a very simple solution for the unknown parameter case. Moreover, when PEBO is combined with the dynamic regressor extension and mixing (DREM) estimation technique [Aranovskiy et al. 2016, Ortega et al. 2019], the estimated state converges in fixed-time with extremely weak excitation assumptions.

Diesel-powered transportation is considered an efficient method of transportation; this sees the increase in the demand for the diesel engine. But diesel engines are considered to be one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution. The automobile sector accounts for the second-largest source for increasing CO2 emission globally. In this experiment, a suitable postcombustion treatment to control CO2 emission from IC engine exhaust is developed and tested. This work focuses to control CO2 emission by using the chemical adsorbent technique in diesel engine exhaust. An amine-based liquid is used to adsorb the CO2 molecules first and absorb over the amines from the diesel engine exhaust. Three types of amino solutions (L-alanine, L-aspartic acid, and L-arginine) were prepared for 0.3 mole concentrations, and the CO2 absorption investigation is performed in each solution by passing the diesel exhaust. A suitable CO2 adsorption trap is developed and tested for CO2 absorption. The experiments were performed in a single-cylinder diesel engine under variable load conditions. The eddy current dynamometer is used to apply appropriate loads on the engine based on the settings. The AVL DIGAS analyzer was used to measure the CO2, HC, and CO emissions. An uncertainty analysis is carried out on the experimental results to minimize the errors in the results. The effective CO2 reduction was achieved up to 85%, and simultaneous reduction of HC and CO was also observed.

Immersion, interaction, and imagination are three features of virtual reality (VR). Existing VR systems possess fairly realistic visual and auditory feedbacks, and however, are poor with haptic feedback, by means of which human can perceive the physical world via abundant haptic properties. Haptic display is an interface aiming to enable bilateral signal communications between human and computer, and thus to greatly enhance the immersion and interaction of VR systems. This paper surveys the paradigm shift of haptic display occurred in the past 30 years, which is classified into three stages, including desktop haptics, surface haptics, and wearable haptics. The driving forces, key technologies and typical applications in each stage are critically reviewed. Toward the future high-fidelity VR interaction, research challenges are highlighted concerning handheld haptic device, multimodal haptic device, and high fidelity haptic rendering. In the end, the importance of understanding human haptic perception for designing effective haptic devices is addressed.

Firstly, in the letter [1], there is a missing citation in Section II, part B, the first sentence. It should be “In a manner similar to [2], [3], speed estimation was achieved by a double-pendulum model.” In our previous version [1], speed estimation was based on the principles in [3]. We also referred to the interpretation and expression form of 6 and 7 in [2], but did not cite this reference in [1]. It should be noted that the 9 in [1] is not the same as 5 in [2]. Because our prosthesis can measure the kinematic information of the hip, knee, and ankle, we considered using the kinematics of the three joints to estimate the velocity, instead of only using the angle hip and knee as in [2], therefore we additionally introduced the ankle angle in 9 of [1]. This led to changes in the lower extremity model used in our calculations and changes in the formula for calculating the stride length.
