ApproximateGaussian conjugacy: parametric recursive filtering under nonlinearity,multimodality, uncertainty Review

Tian-cheng LI, Jin-ya SU, Wei LIU, Juan M. CORCHADO

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2017, Volume 18, Issue 12,   Pages 1913-1939 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1700379

Abstract: Since the landmark work of R. E. Kalman in the 1960s, considerable efforts have been devoted to time series state space models for a large variety of dynamic estimation problems. In particular, parametric filters that seek analytical estimates based on a closed-form Markov–Bayes recursion, e.g., recursion from a Gaussian or Gaussian mixture (GM) prior to a Gaussian/GM posterior (termed ‘Gaussian conjugacy’ in this paper), form the backbone for a general time series filter design. Due to challenges arising from nonlinearity, multimodality (including target maneuver), intractable uncertainties (such as unknown inputs and/or non-Gaussian noises) and constraints (including circular quantities), etc., new theories, algorithms, and technologies have been developed continuously to maintain such a conjugacy, or to approximate it as close as possible. They had contributed in large part to the prospective developments of time series parametric filters in the last six decades. In this paper, we review the state of the art in distinctive categories and highlight some insights that may otherwise be easily overlooked. In particular, specific attention is paid to nonlinear systems with an informative observation, multimodal systems including Gaussian mixture posterior and maneuvers, and intractable unknown inputs and constraints, to fill some gaps in existing reviews and surveys. In addition, we provide some new thoughts on alternatives to the first-order Markov transition model and on filter evaluation with regard to computing complexity.

Fuzzy force control of constrained robot manipulators based on impedance model in an unknown environment

LIU Hongyi, WANG Fei, WANG Lei

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2007, Volume 2, Issue 2,   Pages 168-174 doi: 10.1007/s11465-007-0028-4

Abstract: To precisely implement the force control of robot manipulators in an unknown environment, a control strategy based on fuzzy prediction of the reference trajectory in the impedance model is developed. The force tracking experiments are executed in an open-architecture control system with different tracking velocities, different desired forces, different contact stiffnesses and different surface figurations. The corresponding force control results are compared and analyzed. The influences of unknown parameters of the environment on the contact force are analyzed based on experimental data, and the tunings of predictive scale factors are illustrated. The experimental results show that the desired trajectory in the impedance model is predicted exactly and rapidly in the cases that the contact surface is unknown, the contact stiffness changes, and the fuzzy force control algorithm has high adaptability to the unknown environment.

Eversible duoprism mechanism

Ruiming LI,Yan-An YAO

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2016, Volume 11, Issue 2,   Pages 159-169 doi: 10.1007/s11465-016-0398-6

Abstract:

In this study, a novel duoprism mechanism that demonstrates a fascinating eversion motion is developed. The mechanism comprises three scalable platforms and nine retractable limbs and is constructed by inserting prismatic and revolute joints into the edges and vertices of the duoprism, respectively. According to mobility and kinematic analyses, the mechanism has five degrees of freedom. Six inputs, including a redundant one, are required to overcome singularity and achieve an eversion motion. In the eversion motion, three platforms expand/contract synchronously, and the mechanism continuously turns inside out. The detailed gaits of eversion motion along an ellipse and a circle after a cycle are illustrated with two examples. A kinematic simulation is conducted, and a manual prototype is fabricated to verify the feasibility of the eversible duoprism mechanism.

Geometrically constrained isogeometric parameterized level-set based topology optimization via trimmed

Yingjun WANG,David J. BENSON

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2016, Volume 11, Issue 4,   Pages 328-343 doi: 10.1007/s11465-016-0403-0

Abstract:

In this paper, an approach based on the fast point-in-polygon (PIP) algorithm and trimmed elements is proposed for isogeometric topology optimization (TO) with arbitrary geometric constraints. The isogeometric parameterized level-set-based TO method, which directly uses the non-uniform rational basis splines (NURBS) for both level set function (LSF) parameterization and objective function calculation, provides higher accuracy and efficiency than previous methods. The integration of trimmed elements is completed by the efficient quadrature rule that can design the quadrature points and weights for arbitrary geometric shape. Numerical examples demonstrate the efficiency and flexibility of the method.

A filtering-based bridge weigh-in-motion system on a continuous multi-girder bridge considering the influence

Hanli WU, Hua ZHAO, Jenny LIU, Zhentao HU

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2020, Volume 14, Issue 5,   Pages 1232-1246 doi: 10.1007/s11709-020-0653-0

Abstract: A real-time vehicle monitoring is crucial for effective bridge maintenance and traffic management because overloaded vehicles can cause damage to bridges, and in some extreme cases, it will directly lead to a bridge failure. Bridge weigh-in-motion (BWIM) system as a high performance and cost-effective technology has been extensively used to monitor vehicle speed and weight on highways. However, the dynamic effect and data noise may have an adverse impact on the bridge responses during and immediately following the vehicles pass the bridge. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) method, which can significantly purify the collected structural responses (dynamic strains) received from sensors or transducers, was used in axle counting, detection, and axle weighing technology in this study. To further improve the accuracy of the BWIM system, the field-calibrated influence lines (ILs) of a continuous multi-girder bridge were regarded as a reference to identify the vehicle weight based on the modified Moses algorithm and the least squares method. experimental results indicated that the signals treated with FFT filter were far better than the original ones, the efficiency and the accuracy of axle detection were significantly improved by introducing the FFT method to the BWIM system. Moreover, the lateral load distribution effect on bridges should be considered by using the calculated average ILs of the specific lane individually for vehicle weight calculation of this lane.
