This paper studies the global stability analysis of a mathematical model on Babesiosis transmission dynamics on bovines and ticks populations as proposed by Dang et al. First, the global stability analysis of disease-free equilibrium (DFE) is presented. Furthermore, using the properties of Volterra–Lyapunov matrices, we show that it is possible to prove the global stability of the endemic equilibrium. The property of symmetry in the structure of Volterra–Lyapunov matrices plays an important role in achieving this goal. Furthermore, numerical simulations are used to verify the result presented.

This paper introduces a new failure mode pattern of soil slope – the logarithmic spiral slippery fracture. A mathematical model for the logarithmic spiral slippery fracture is established, taking the anti-shear function of the soil-nailing into consideration. The shear of soil-nailing, axial force, and the safety coefficients based on the limiting equilibrium method are derived, leading to an accurate stability analysis of the strengthening of soil slope. A case study shows that the anti-shear function of the soil-nailing can be significant and should not be ignored in engineering design.

The enlargement and rupture of intracranial and abdominal aortic aneurysms constitutes a major medical problem. It has been suggested that enlargement and rupture are due to mechanical instabilities of the associated complex fluid-solid interaction in the lesions. In this paper, we examine a coupled fluid-structure mathematical model for a cylindrical geometry representing an idealized aneurysm using both analytical and numerical techniques. A stability analysis for this subclass of aneurysms is presented. It is shown that this subclass of aneurysms is dynamically stable both with and without a viscoelastic contribution to the arterial wall.

Abstract Gimbals are mechatronic systems well known for their use in the stabilization of cameras which are under the effect of sudden movements. Gimbals help keeping cameras at previously defined fixed orientations, so that the captured images have the highest quality. This paper focuses on the design of a Linear Quadratic Gaussian, LQG, controller, based on the physical modeling of a commercial Gimbal with two degrees of freedom (2DOF), which is used for first-person applications in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This approach is proposed to make a more realistic representation of the system under study, since it guarantees high accuracy in the simulation of the dynamic response, as compared to the prediction of the mathematical model of the same system. The development of the model starts by sectioning the Gimbal into a series of interconnected links. Subsequently, a fixed reference system is assigned to each link body and the corresponding homogeneous transformation matrices are established, which will allow the calculation of the orientation of each link and the displacement of their centers of mass. Once the total kinetic and potential energy of the mechanical components are obtained, Lagrange’s method is utilized to establish the mathematical model of the mechanical structure of the Gimbal. The equations of motion of the system are then expressed in state space form, with two inputs, two outputs and four states, where the inputs are the torques produced by each one of the motors, the outputs are the orientation of the first two links, and the states are the aforementioned orientations along with their time derivatives. The state space model was implemented in MATLAB’s Simulink environment to compare its prediction of the transient response with the prediction obtained with the representation of the same system using MATLAB’s SimMechanics physical modelling interface. The mathematical model of each one of the three-phase Brushless DC motors is also expressed in state space form, where the three inputs of each motor model are the voltages of the corresponding motor phases, its two outputs are the angular position and angular velocity, and its four states are the currents in two of the phases, the orientation of the motor shaft and its rate of change. This model is experimentally validated by performing a switching sequence in both the simulation model and the physical system and observing that the transient response of the angular position of the motor shaft is in accordance with the theoretical model. The control system design process starts with the interconnection of the models of the mechanical components and the models of the Brushless DC Motor, using their corresponding state space representations. The resulting model features six inputs, two outputs and eight states. The inputs are the voltages in each phase of the two motors in the Gimbal, the outputs are the angular positions of the first two links, and the states are the currents in two of the phases for each motor and the orientations of the first two links, along with their corresponding time derivatives. An optimal LQG control system is designed using MATLAB’s dlqr and Kalman functions, which calculate the gains for the control system and the gains for the states estimated by the observer. The external excitation in each of the phases is carried out by pulse width modulation. Finally, the transient response of the overall system is evaluated for different reference points. The simulation results show very good agreement with the experimental measurements.

Every year, influenza causes high morbidity and mortality especially among the immunocompromised persons worldwide. The emergence of drug resistance has been a major challenge in curbing the spread of influenza. In this paper, a mathematical model is formulated and used to analyze the transmission dynamics of influenza A virus having incorporated the aspect of drug resistance. The qualitative analysis of the model is given in terms of the control reproduction number,Rc. The model equilibria are computed and stability analysis carried out. The model is found to exhibit backward bifurcation prompting the need to lowerRcto a critical valueRc∗for effective disease control. Sensitivity analysis results reveal that vaccine efficacy is the parameter with the most control over the spread of influenza. Numerical simulations reveal that despite vaccination reducing the reproduction number below unity, influenza still persists in the population. Hence, it is essential, in addition to vaccination, to apply other strategies to curb the spread of influenza.
