Abstract Within this paper problems related with the vibration and stability control of circular flexible shafts spinning about their rotational axis are addressed. Due to the occurrence, as a result of the spinning speed, of gyroscopic forces in the system, the rotating shaft can experience, in some conditions, instabilities of the same nature as any nonconservative system, namely divergence and flutter instabilities. Whereas the former instability is of a static character, the latter one is of dynamic character and the results of its occurrence are catastrophic. By including collocated sending and actuating capabilities via integration in the system of piezoelectric devices and of a feedback control law, it is shown that a dramatic enhancement of both the free dynamic response and of the stability behavior from both the divergence and flutter points of view can be achieved. This implies that via the implementation of this technology an increase of the spinning speed can be achieved without the occurrence of these instabilities. Numerical simulations documenting these findings are provided and pertinent conclusions are outlined. It is also worthy to mention that the shaft is modeled as a thin-walled cylinder made of an anisotropic material and incorporating a number of non-classical features.

The Stability

Tire longitudinal forces of electrics vehicle with four in-wheel-motors can be adjusted independently. This provides advantages for its stability control. In this paper, an electric vehicle with four in-wheel-motors is taken as the research object. Considering key factors such as vehicle velocity and road adhesion coefficient, the criterion of vehicle stability is studied, based on phase plane of sideslip angle and sideslip-angle rate. To solve the problem that the sideslip angle of vehicles is difficult to measure, an algorithm for estimating the sideslip angle based on extended Kalman filter is designed. The control method for vehicle yaw moment based on sliding-mode control and the distribution method for wheel driving/braking torque are proposed. The distribution method takes the minimum sum of the square for wheel load rate as the optimization objective. Based on Matlab/Simulink and Carsim, a cosimulation model for the stability control of electric vehicles with four in-wheel-motors is built. The accuracy of the proposed stability criterion, the algorithm for estimating the sideslip angle and the wheel torque control method are verified. The relevant research can provide some reference for the development of the stability control for electric vehicles with four in-wheel-motors.

The anchoring of polymer chains at solid surfaces is an efficient way to modify interfacial properties like the stability and rheology of colloidal dispersions, lubrication and biocompatibility. Polyelectrolytes are good candidates for the building of smart materials, as the polyion chain conformation can often be tuned by manipulation of different physico-chemical variables. However, achieving efficient and reversible control of this process represents an important technological challenge. In this regard, the application of an external electrical stimulus on polyelectrolytes seems to be a convenient control strategy, for several reasons. First, it is relatively easy to apply an electric field to the material with adequate spatiotemporal control. In addition, in contrast to chemically induced changes, the molecular response to a changing electric field occurs relatively quickly. If the system is properly designed, this response can then be used to control the magnitude of surface properties. In this work we discuss the effect of an external electric field on the adhesion and lubrication properties of several polyelectrolyte-coated surfaces. The influence of the applied field is investigated at different pH and salt conditions, as the polyelectrolyte conformation is sensitive to these variables. We show that it is possible to fine tune friction and adhesion using relatively low applied fields.

Two typical monitoring sections are selected for obtaining the change law of the surface subsidence and the settlement after construction of soft soil foundations, and determining the reasonable unloading time. The research results show that the surface settlement rate is large during the filling stage, the rate decreases after the loading and gradually stabilized. The embankment midline settlement is larger than the settlement of the road shoulder which is concluded from the fact that the subsidence of the middle settlement plate is larger than those of the left and right plate. The surface subsidence rate is less than 5mm per month during the two month before unloading according to the data in the tables. The settlement after construction presumed from the middle plate is more significantly larger than that of left and right sides, hence, as the unloading basis of preloading drainage method in soft soil foundation treatment the settlement after construction which is calculated from the midline monitoring data of the road is appropriate. After 6 months the calculated post-construction settlements of the two sections are in the scope of the design requirement since they decrease with preloading time. The reliable basis is provided for the future design and construction of soft foundation in this area through the research results.

Stable holomorphic vector bundles over complex projective space ℙnhave been studied from both the differential-geometric and the algebraic-geometric points of view.On the differential-geometric side, the stability ofE-→ ℙncan be characterized by the existence of a unique hermitian–Einstein metric onE, i.e. a metric whose curvature matrix has trace-free part orthogonal to the Fubini–Study Kähler form of ℙn(see [6], [7], and [13]). Very little is known about this metric in general and the only explicit examples are the metrics on the tangent bundle of ℙnand the nullcorrelation bundle (see [9] and [10]).

Internal Degrees Of Freedom

The gaseous decompositions of the esters butylidene diacetate and ethylidene dipropionate have been studied from points of view previously outlined in papers on the decomposition of ethylidene diacetate (2, 3). The decomposition velocities have been measured at initial pressures of from 5 to 56 cm. of mercury and at temperatures between 211 and 265 °C. The reactions are homogeneous and of the first order. They agree with the Arrhenius equation and give 100% yields (within experimental error) of an aldehyde and an anhydride. The preparation of the compounds and improvements in the technique of the velocity measurements are described.While the specific velocities of the three reactions at any temperature are somewhat different, their activation energies are the same. It is suggested that in the case of such simple reactions, which are strictly localized within the molecular structure, the activation energy can be identified as the maximum energy that the reactive bonds may possess and still exist; i.e., it may be taken as a measure of the stability of the bonds which are broken in the reaction. The suggestion is also made that for a series of reactions which have the same activation energy, the specific velocities can be taken as a relative measure of the number of internal degrees of freedom that contribute to the energy of activation. On the basis of these assumptions it becomes possible to use reaction-velocity measurements for the investigation of intramolecular energy exchange. The theoretical significance of the data is further discussed and the scope of future work in this connection is indicated.The monomolecular velocity constants (sec−1) of the decomposition of ethylidene diacetate, ethylidene dipropionate and butylidene diacetate are given respectively by the equations [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text].

The Stability

The stability control of the rock surrounding recovery roadways guarantees the safety of the extraction of equipment. Roof falling and support crushing are prone to occur in double-key strata (DKS) faces in shallow seams during the extraction of equipment. Therefore, this paper focuses on the stability control of the rock surrounding DKS recovery roadways by combining field observations, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations. First, pressure relief technology, which can effectively release the accumulated rock pressure in the roof, is introduced according to the periodic weighting characteristics of DKS roofs. A reasonable application scope and the applicable conditions for pressure relief technology are given. Considering the influence of the eroded area on the roof structure, two roof mechanics models of DKS are established. The calculation results show that the yield load of the support in the eroded area is low. A scheme for strengthening the support with individual hydraulic props is proposed, and then, the support design of the recovery roadway is improved based on the time effects of fracture development. The width of the recovery roadway and supporting parameters is redesigned according to engineering experience. Finally, constitutive models of the support and compacted rock mass in the gob are developed with FLAC3D software to simulate the failure characteristics of the surrounding rock during pressure relief and equipment extraction. The surrounding rock control effects of two support designs and three extraction schemes are comprehensively evaluated. The results show that the surrounding rock control effect of Scheme 1, which combines improved support design and the bidirectional extraction of equipment, is the best. Engineering application results show that Scheme 1 realizes the safe extraction of equipment. The research results can provide a reference and experience for use in the stability control of rock surrounding recovery roadways in shallow seams.

This paper presents a novel vehicle lateral stability control method based on an estimated lateral stability region on the phase plane of vehicle yaw rate and lateral speed, which is obtained through a local linearization method. Since the estimated stability region does not only describe vehicle local stability, but also define the oversteering and understeering characteristics, the proposed control method can achieve both local stability and vehicle handling stability. Considering the irregular geometric shape of the estimated stability region, a stability analysis algorithm is designed to determine the distance between vehicle states and stability region boundaries. State estimation or measurement errors are also incorporated in the distance calculation. Based on the calculated shortest distance between vehicle states and stability boundaries, a direct yaw moment controller is designed to maintain vehicle states stay within the stability region. CarSim® and Simulink® co-simulation is applied to verify the control design through a cornering maneuver. The simulation results show that the proposed control method can make the vehicle stay within the stability region successfully and thus always operate in a safe manner.

In this paper, the stability of water-lubricated, hydrostatic, conical bearings with spiral grooves for high-speed spindles is investigated theoretically and experimentally. In these bearing types, pressurized water is first fed to the inside of the rotating shaft and then introduced into spiral grooves through feeding holes located at one end of each spiral groove. Therefore, water pressure is increased due to the effect of the centrifugal force at the outlets of the feeding holes, which results from shaft rotation. In addition, water pressure is also increased by the viscous pumping effect of the spiral grooves. The stability of the proposed bearing is theoretically predicted using the perturbation method, and calculated results are compared with experimental results. It was consequently found that the proposed bearing is very stable at high speeds and theoretical predictions show good agreement with experimental data.

The effects of spindles vibrational behavior on the stability lobes and the Chatter behavior of machine tools have been established. The service life has been observed to reducethe system natural frequencies. An analytical model of a multi-segment spinning spindle, based on the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) formulation, exact within the limits of the Euler-Bernoulli beam bending theory, is developed. The system exhibits coupled Bending-Bending (B-B) vibration and its natural frequencies are found to decrease with increasing spinning speed. The bearings were included in the model usingboth rigid, simply supported, frictionless pins and flexible linear spring elements. The linear spring element stiffness is then calibrated so that the fundamental frequency of the system matches the nominal value.

This article examines the stages of the electoral process based on the legislation of Ukraine on elections since the proclamation of independent Ukraine until now. Considerable attention is paid to the disclosure of the concept of "electoral process", since democracy and the legitimacy of the entire system of public authorities depend to the electoral democracy. On the basis of various points of view of scientists, scholars of lawyers it can be concluded that the electoral process as a legal category is an independent legal institution of constitutional law, which should be understood as a set of constitutional and procedural norms governing the formation of representative bodies of the state and other elected bodies of state power and bodies of local self-government, election of state officials. The issue of the legislative support of the electoral process in Ukraine, the problem of the formation of a system of electoral legislation in Ukraine on the basis of which the electoral process takes place - elections of the President of Ukraine, people's deputies of Ukraine, deputies of local councils and village, town and city mayors. Adequate reflection of the will of the citizens on the formation of a system of government, the creation of conditions for free and deliberate expression of will require not only the legislative consolidation of the principles of free and fair elections, but also detailed legal regulation of procedures for conducting an election campaign, determination of the status of the subjects of the electoral process, their rights and obligations defining the results of elections, etc. The necessity of formation and establishment of a stable electoral culture of voters and the stability of electoral legislation for ensuring the proper realization of the electoral rights of Ukrainian citizens is indicated. However, the main problem is not so much in adopting laws that would comply with generally accepted democratic principles, but in ensuring compliance with these principles in practice, which does not always lie in the field of legislative regulation. In order to ensure legality in the process of organizing and holding elections, the functioning and interaction of all branches of state power, local self-government bodies and public associations must be agreed upon.
