In the present study, a structural dynamic model of a flexible wing is suggested for the application to aeroelastic analyses of flapping-wing vehicles. To establish the structural dynamic model, the flexible multibody dynamics is used by considering not only the rigid root-flapping motion with a large stroke but also the local elastic deformation of a flexible flapping wing. The modeling method which has been derived for planar rotating problems is first verified with a rotating-beam problem, and then expanded to a flexible flapping wing with a three-dimensional flapping motion generated at an arbitrary flapping axis. Modal approach is also applied to the structural modeling in order to establish the reduced dynamic model for the efficient calculation of fluid-structure interaction analyses. The proposed model is verified with the structural dynamic test data of a rectangular flapping wing. Using the structural model, the fluid-structure interaction analyses of the rectangular flapping wing are also performed, and the results show good agreements between analysis and experimental data.

Flocking control is a new type of control which coordinates the motions among multiple mobile robots. Current researches focus their attention on leaderless flocking controller design. We, in this paper, present the design of a sequential flocking control for multiple mobile robots, and put forward the corresponding performance evaluation method. Firstly, we briefly review the existing theories of agent-based sequential formation control;and then, transfer the agent-based flocking control strategy to the design of overall control algorithm for mobile robots, by considering the dynamics of nonholonomic mobile robot. To analyze the sequential flocking system, a flocking performance analysis method based on the least stability time (LST) is proposed. Simulations of real problems illustrate the processes of control and analysis of a multiple mobile robots sequential flocking system. The simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed procedure.

Within the framework of the Drude dispersive model, we predict an unusual nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the Casimir force for thin metal films. For certain conditions, this force decreases with temperature due to the decrease of the metallic conductivity, whereas the force increases at high temperatures due to the increase of the thermal radiation pressure. We consider the attraction of a film to: either (i) a bulk ideal metal with a planar boundary, or (ii) a bulk metal sphere (lens). The experimental observation of the predicted decreasing temperature dependence of the Casimir force can put an end to the long-standing discussion on the role of the electron relaxation in the Casimir effect.

This paper is concerned with prototype development and motion control of a dolphin-like underwater robot. The propulsion and maneuvering of the robotic dolphin are realized with the flapping motion of the mechanical flippers and the combined heaving and pitching motions of the fluke. Mechanical design and control of the flipper apparatus and the flexible tail mechanism are presented. Through coordinated control of the propulsors, several swimming movements are designed. Preliminary experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme.

In this article, we present a new mass description dedicated to differentiate between different mass shapes in mammography. This discrimination aims to reach a better mammography classification rate to be used by radiologists as a second opinion to make the final decision about the malignancy probability of radiographic breast images. Therefore, we used a geometrical feature which is perimeter measurement (P) and 3 morphological features which focus on mass borders by discriminating circumscribed from spiculated shapes. These features are: contour derivative variation (CDV), skeleton end points (SEP) and we propose a new one noted Spiculation (SPICUL). Their performance were evaluated one by one before collecting them for mammography classification into the 4 BIRADS categories. For classification, we used support vector machine (SVM) with Gaussian kernel as classifier for its higher performance. The accuracy of our model with contour features for classifying malignancies was 93% in the case of two class model (malignant and benign) and 85.7% in the 4 class model (BIRADS I,II,III and IV).

We consider a nanomechanical resonator coupled to a double quantum dot. We demonstrate how the finite-frequency current-noise spectrum through the double quantum dot can be used to distinguish classical and quantum behavior in the nearby nanoelectromechanical resonator. We also show how the full-frequency current-noise spectrum gives important information on the combined double quantum dot-resonator energy spectrum. Finally, we point out regimes where the quantum state of the resonator becomes squeezed and also examine the cross-correlated electron-phonon current noise.

In this paper, a new SVM (Support Vector Machines) synthesis method is presented. This method is based essentially on training criterion optimization of this machine by a set of hierarchical structures of learning automata. This methodology is adopted for the development of off-line isolated handwritten digits recognition system. A comparison is taken between this new approach and that of a standard approach for SVM synthesis. These two methodologies are also compared with a neural network based classification method. The obtained results show the performances of the new suggested method for SVM synthesis.

In this paper the problem of Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) in the framework of Discrete Event systems (DES) modeled as automata is considered. The approach we follow is the so-called active approach in which the supervisor actively reacts to the detection of a malfunctioning component in order to eventually meet degraded control specifications. Starting from an appropriate model of the system, we recall the notion of safe diagnosability as a necessary step in order to achieve fault tolerant supervision of DES. We then introduce two new notions: (i) “safe controllability”, which represents the capability, after the occurrence of a fault, of steering the system away from forbidden zones and (ii) “active fault tolerant system”, which is the property of safely continuing operation after faults. We show how it is possible to define a general control architecture to deal with the FTC problem by introducing a special kind of automaton, called a “diagnosing-controller”.
