The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive multibody system dynamics model of a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), and implement its simulation and experimental studies. The new version of transfer matrix method of multibody system and the launch dynamics theory are used in deriving the equations of motion coupled with rockets and barrels. The obtained model accounts for the complete process of the rockets’ ignition, movement in the barrels, airborne flight and landing. Launch dynamics of an 18-tube 122mm MLRS is investigated in this paper. Considering the effects of random factors, such as the impact and clearance between the rockets and barrels, the mass eccentricity and dynamic unbalance of the rockets and the thrust misalignment in this model, and combining the Monte Carlo method, the simulation of the dynamics of MLRS is carried out. Finally, the experimental implementation is proposed and the experimental results emphasize the feasibility of the multibody system launch dynamics model as a viable alternative for modeling accurately the dynamics characteristics of a practical MLRS. Meanwhile, the correctness of the numerical results is validated.

Abstract Jet flow is one of the important factors affecting the vibration, initial disturbance and firing dispersion of Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). In this research, based on the rocket gas jet dynamics, MLRS launch dynamics theory and transfer matrix method for multibody system, a physical model of jet flow model and a MLRS launch dynamics model considering the multiple launch rocket device and the launch of rocket are built. The launching dynamic process of rocket jet flow of MLRS is numerical simulated by using the technology of overset mesh and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods. The nephogram of mach number and contour map of velocity are obtained. The impact effect force on the air-facing surface of rocker launcher after the rocket slides and leaves the directional barrel is acquired. Regarding the calculated data of impact force to MLRS as external force, the MLRS launch dynamics equation is solved by using the transfer matrix method for multibody system. Finally, the dynamics response of MLRS under the effect of jet flow is analyzed.

The algebraic screw pair, or A-pair, represents a new class of kinematic constraint that exploits the self-motions inherent to a specific configuration of Griffis-Duffy platform. Using the A-pair as a joint in a hybrid parallel-serial kinematic chain results in a sinusoidal coupling of rotation and translation between adjacent links. The resulting linkage is termed an A-chain. This paper reveals the dynamic equations of motion of a single A-pair and examines the impact of the inertial properties of the legs of the A-pair on the dynamics. A numerical example illustrates the impact of the leg effects from different perspectives and shows that while the gravity effects of the legs are significant, it may be possible to neglect the leg kinetic energy from the dynamics model.

Abstract The dynamics simulation of the processing of the gun adjustment for multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) as a complex nonlinear multibody system is studied. Based on the new version of transfer matrix method for multibody system (MSTMM), the nonlinear multibody system dynamics model of MLRS is established, and the overall transfer equation of the nonlinear multibody system is deduced. The launch dynamics simulation of MLRS is carried out by combining the general kinematics equations of rocket and Monte Carlo method, and the simulated results are verified by experiments. On this basis, the control design and dynamics simulation of the gun adjustment of MLRS has been preliminary studied by combing MSTMM with PD control method. The results show that the proposed control method has a good stability and can realize the automatic control of gun adjustment of MLRS quickly and accurately.

A new nonlinear rotor model supported by the rolling bearing is established under the consideration of the bearing with waviness fault, the unbalanced excitation, the nonlinear Hertz contact force, the varying compliance vibration, and, especially, the physical nonlinear stiffness of the shaft material. The expression with cubic nonlinear terms is adopted to characterize the physical nonlinear stiffness of the shaft material, and the sinusoidal wave is applied to describe the shape characteristics of the waviness fault. The dynamic equations of motion for the new model are developed, and the calculation example of the rotor system supported by the bearing JIS6306 is solved by the variable step-size Runge–Kutta methods to study the effect of the waviness, the clearance, the mass eccentricity on the dynamic behavior. The research results show that growth of the amplitude for the waviness changes the energy distribution of the vibration process; the enlargement of bearing clearance will reduce the stability of the system; the increase in the number of the waviness will make the order of the frequency components changed; for the nonlinear stiffness bearing-rotor system with waviness fault, the augment of mass eccentricity will enhance the impact of the nonlinear stiffness on the system.

The article describes the role of polarisation in calculation of multiple reflections. A mathematical model of multiple reflections based on the Stokes vector for beam description and Mueller matrices for description of surface properties is presented. On the basis of this model, the global illumination equation is generalised for the polarisation case and is resolved into volume integration. This allows us to obtain an expression for the Monte Carlo method local estimates and to use them for evaluation of light distribution in the scene with consideration of polarisation. The obtained mathematical model was implemented in the software environment using the example of a scene with its surfaces having both diffuse and regular components of reflection. The results presented in the article show that the calculation difference may reach 30 % when polarisation is taken into consideration as compared to standard modelling.

This chapter reviews the degree to which empirical evidence demonstrates that families influence youth delinquency. Because they are most likely to be emphasized in life-course theories, this chapter focuses on parenting practices such as parental warmth and involvement, supervision and discipline of children, and child maltreatment. It also summarizes literature examining the role of children's exposure to parental violence, family criminality, and young (teenage) parents in affecting delinquency. Because life-course theories are ideally tested using longitudinal data, which allow examination of, in this case, the impact of parenting practices on children's subsequent behaviors, this chapter focuses on evidence generated from prospective studies conducted in the United States and other countries. It also discusses findings from experimental studies designed to reduce youth substance use and delinquency by improving the family environment.

The global illegal wildlife trade directly threatens biodiversity and leads to disease outbreaks and epidemics. In order to avoid the loss of endangered species and ensure public health security, it is necessary to intervene in illegal wildlife trade and promote public awareness of the need for wildlife conservation. Anthropomorphism is a basic and common psychological process in humans that plays a crucial role in determining how a person interacts with other non-human agents. Previous research indicates that anthropomorphizing nature entities through metaphors could increase individual behavioral intention of wildlife conservation. However, relatively little is known about the mechanism by which anthropomorphism influences behavioral intention and whether social context affects the effect of anthropomorphism. This research investigated the impact of negative emotions associated with a pandemic situation on the effectiveness of anthropomorphic strategies for wildlife conservation across two experimental studies. Experiment 1 recruited 245 college students online and asked them to read a combination of texts and pictures as anthropomorphic materials. The results indicated that anthropomorphic materials could increase participants’ empathy and decrease their wildlife product consumption intention. Experiment 2 recruited 140 college students online and they were required to read the same materials as experiment 1 after watching a video related to epidemics. The results showed that the effect of wildlife anthropomorphization vanished if participants’ negative emotion was aroused by the video. The present research provides experimental evidence that anthropomorphic strategies would be useful for boosting public support for wildlife conservation. However, policymakers and conservation organizations must be careful about the negative effects of the pandemic context, as the negative emotions produced by it seems to weaken the effectiveness of anthropomorphic strategies.

In this paper, the authors analyze in more details an image encryption scheme, proposed by the authors in their earlier work, which preserves input image statistics and can be used in connection with the JPEG compression standard. The image encryption process takes advantage of fast linear transforms parametrized with private keys and is carried out prior to the compression stage in a way that does not alter those statistical characteristics of the input image that are crucial from the point of view of the subsequent compression. This feature makes the encryption process transparent to the compression stage and enables the JPEG algorithm to maintain its full compression capabilities even though it operates on the encrypted image data. The main advantage of the considered approach is the fact that the JPEG algorithm can be used without any modifications as a part of the encrypt-then-compress image processing framework. The paper includes a detailed mathematical model of the examined scheme allowing for theoretical analysis of the impact of the image encryption step on the effectiveness of the compression process. The combinatorial and statistical analysis of the encryption process is also included and it allows to evaluate its cryptographic strength. In addition, the paper considers several practical use-case scenarios with different characteristics of the compression and encryption stages. The final part of the paper contains the additional results of the experimental studies regarding general effectiveness of the presented scheme. The results show that for a wide range of compression ratios the considered scheme performs comparably to the JPEG algorithm alone, that is, without the encryption stage, in terms of the quality measures of reconstructed images. Moreover, the results of statistical analysis as well as those obtained with generally approved quality measures of image cryptographic systems, prove high strength and efficiency of the scheme’s encryption stage.

Among the alternative fuels existing for spark-ignition engines, ethanol is considered worldwide as an important renewable fuel when mixed with pure gasoline because of its favorable physicochemical properties. An in-depth and updated investigation on the issue of CO and HC engine out emissions related to use of ethanol/gasoline fuels in spark-ignition engines is therefore necessary. Starting from our experimental studies on engine out emissions of a last generation spark-ignition engine fueled with ethanol/gasoline fuels, the aim of this new investigation is to offer a complete literature review on the present state of ethanol combustion in last generation spark-ignition engines under real working conditions to clarify the possible change in CO and HC emissions. In the first section of this paper, a comparison between physicochemical properties of ethanol and gasoline is examined to assess the practicability of using ethanol as an alternative fuel for spark-ignition engines and to investigate the effect on engine out emissions and combustion efficiency. In the next section, this article focuses on the impact of ethanol/gasoline fuels on CO and HC formation. Many studies related to combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions in spark-ignition engines fueled with ethanol/gasoline fuels are thus discussed in detail. Most of these experimental investigations conclude that the addition of ethanol with gasoline fuel mixtures can really decrease the CO and HC exhaust emissions of last generation spark-ignition engines in several operating conditions.
