A new filtering algorithm, called particle filtering （PF） is introduced. PF can yield better performance than that of EKF, because PF does not involve the linearization approximating to nonlinear systems, that is required by the EKF. PF has been shown to be a superior alternative to the EKF in a variety of applications. The base idea of PF is the approximation of relevant probabifity distributions using the concepts of sequential importance sampling and approximation of probability distributions using a set of discrete random samples with associated weights. PF methods still need to be improved in the aspects of accuracy and calculating speed.展开更多

Indirect and direct methods are combined to design the adaptive fuzzy output feedback controller and a high-gain observer is used to estimate the derivatives of the system output. The closed-loop system is proven to be semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. In addition, it is shown that if the approximation accuracy of the fuzzy logic system is high enough and the observer gain is chosen sufficiently large, an arbitrarily small tracking error can be achieved. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the newly designed scheme and the theoretical discussion.展开更多

The hyperbola model, a nonlinear load transfer function, was introduced to establish the basic differential equation with load transfer method. Assumed that the displacement of pile shaft was the high order power series of buried depth, through merging the same orthometric items and arranging the relevant coefficients, the solution which could take the nonlinear pile-soil interaction and stratum properties of soil into account was solved by power series. On the basis of the solution, by determining the load transfer depth with criterion of settlement on pile tip, the method by making boundary conditions compatible was advised to solve the load-settlement curve of pile. The relevant flow chart and mathematic expressions of boundary conditions were also listed. Lastly, the load transfer methods based on both two-broken-line model and hyperbola model were applied to analyzing a real project. The related coefficients of fitting curves by hyperbola were not less than 0.96, which shows that the hyperbola model is truthfulness, and is propitious to avoid personal error. The calculating value of load-settlement curve agrees well with the measured one, which indicates that it can be applied in engineering practice and making the theory that limits the design bearing capacity by settlement on pile top comes true.展开更多

In this paper, we extend these results to general linear methods and to more generalproblem class Kστ. The concepts of (k, p, q)-secondary stability and (k, p. q)-secondary stability are introduced, and the criteria of secondary algebraic stability are also established. The criteria relax algebraicstability conditions while retaining the virtues of a nonlinear test problem.展开更多
