A Thermodynamic 3D Model for the Simulation of Diffusion‐Controlled Alloying Processes in Heterogeneous Material Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical model resulting from irreversible thermodynamics for describing transport processes is introduced, focusing on thermodynamic activity gradients as the actual driving force for diffusion. Implemented in CUDA C++ and using CalPhaD methods for determining the necessary activity data, the model accurately simulates interdiffusion in aluminum ...

Parametric Regularization of a Linear-quadratic Problem on a Set of Piecewise Linear Controls

open access: yesИзвестия Иркутского государственного университета: Серия "Математика", 2022
A linear-quadratic problem with arbitrary matrices in the functional and multidimensional control with convex constraint is considered. Acceptable controls are piecewise linear vector functions within an uneven grid of possible corner points.

Surface Tension Measurement of Ti‐6Al‐4V by Falling Droplet Method in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this article, the temperature‐dependent surface tension of free falling, oscillating Ti‐6Al‐4V droplets is investigated in both argon and monosilane doped, oxygen‐free atmosphere. Droplet temperature and oscillation are captured with one single high‐speed camera, and the surface tension is calculated with Rayleigh's formula.

Optimal control of nonlinear systems with input constraints using linear time varying approximations

open access: yesNonlinear Analysis, 2016
We propose a new method to solve input constrained optimal control problems for autonomous nonlinear systems affine in control. We then extend the method to compute the bang-bang control solutions under the symmetric control constraints.

Optimal Control of TBCC Engines in Mode Transition

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
This paper mainly studies the optimal control problem of turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engines in the mode-transition stage. Based on the TBCC scheme proposed by Xiamen University, an aerothermodynamic model is established as a verification model ...

Imaging of Biphoton States: Fundamentals and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Quantum states of two photons exhibit a rich polarization and spatial structure, which provides a fundamental resource of strongly correlated and entangled states. This review analyzes the physics of these intriguing properties and explores the various techniques and technologies available to measure them, including the state of the art of their ...

Maximum Principle for Delayed Stochastic Linear-Quadratic Control Problem with State Constraint

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2013
This paper is concerned with one kind of delayed stochastic linear-quadratic optimal control problems with state constraints. The control domain is not necessarily convex and the control variable does not enter the diffusion coefficient.

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Feedback Control Method Using Haar Wavelet Operational Matrices for Solving Optimal Control Problems

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2013
Most of the direct methods solve optimal control problems with nonlinear programming solver. In this paper we propose a novel feedback control method for solving for solving affine control system, with quadratic cost functional, which makes use of only ...

Optimal adaptive control for a class of stochastic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
We study linear-quadratic adaptive tracking problems for a special class of stochastic systems expressed in the state-space form. This is a long-standing problem in the control of aircraft flying through atmospheric turbulence.
