Based on this concept, the element energy projection (EEP) method for the super-convergence calculation is developed. Moreover, when the EEP technique is applied to the adaptive FE analysis to estimate and control the errors in FE solutions, the solutions satisfying the user pre-set error tolerances in the maximum norm can be obtained. Recent introspection leads to a realization that the essence in Ref.[1] has not been fully exploited: since the element fixed-end solutions are the major source of errors, then it is possible to calculate the errors a priori by using the EEP method, immediately generating a desirable mesh without the need for the FE analysis in advance. This paper gives a brief introduction to this novel idea and some initial numerical results are given to show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed technique.

During the Galerkin process, the modal shape functions of the non-rotating Euler-Bernoulli beam and the rotating Rayleigh beam with clamped-free boundary conditions are selected as the trial functions to obtain the whirling frequencies and the critical speeds. Both solutions are illustrated by numerical examples, the convergence of solutions is tested, and the results are compared with the classical solution obtained analytically. It is shown that using the modal shape of the non-rotating Euler-Bernoulli beam to obtain the approximation is usually far easier and faster than using the modal shape of the rotating Rayleigh beam. Therefore, it is preferred for the dynamic solution of the rotating cantilever shaft.

Based on a magic formula tire model, a vehicle lateral dynamics model for the three-axle heavy-duty is established. Then a vertical-lateral coupling dynamics model for the three-axle heavy-duty vehicle is established. The vertical dynamical load of the tires is used to couple the vertical dynamics model to the lateral dynamics model. The dynamic coupling vertical-lateral model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show that the independent vehicle vertical and lateral dynamics model can reflect the ride and handling stability of the vehicle to a certain extent. But the maximum values of the yaw rate, the side-slip angle, and the lateral acceleration of the coupling model are all smaller than those obtained with the independent lateral model. The coupling model for the three-axle heavy-duty vehicle can reflect the impact of the vehicle's vertical motion on the lateral motion. It can be used for the optimization of the vehicle performance under the complex working conditions.

Therefore, the vibration control of the vehicle body is much required. In this paper, a nonlinear stochastic optimal vibration control strategy for the electromechanical suspension of a torsional tracked vehicle with consideration of the actuator saturation is proposed. Firstly, the nonlinear stochastic dynamic model of the suspension system is built based on the space structure of the torsional bar and the nonlinear model of the air spring. Then, based on the stochastic dynamical programming principle, the dynamical programming equation of the electromechanical suspension system is established. The optimal bounded control strategy is formulated by solving the dynamical programming equation with consideration of the saturation of the actuator. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is evaluated by comparing the statistics of the responses of optimally controlled and uncontrolled systems. The influence of the time-delay on the control effectiveness is also discussed. Numerical results show that the proposed control strategy can effectively mitigate the nonlinear stochastic vibration of the electromechanical suspension, and the control strategy is found to be quite robust against the variations of the system parameters. To ensure the effectiveness of the control force, the time delay should be controlled within 0.15 second.

The simulation results show that the human-like control strategy can ensure a stable walking of the bipedal robot in the horizontal plane. The robot can achieve the passive periodic walking with zero-input when there is no disturbance. With the variable stiffness control of the leg, the total energy of the robot can be restored to a balance state, the robot can re-enter the steady-state walking, and the control system is robust to the external disturbance.

The effects of parameters such as the average speed, the pulsating speed and the tension force on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system are analyzed through the multiple scale method and the numerical method. It is revealed that when a combination resonance occurs, the system shows a complex dynamic behavior, the amplitude of the first order modal response is far larger than that of the second order, and the influence of the average speed and the pulsating speed on the frequency-response curve is quite remarkable.

The environmental types and the action time influence the ultimate tensile strength, the elastic modulus and the ultimate strain. It is shown that the tensile strength of the GFRP rebars and the GFRP steel rebars decreases gradually with the increase of the corrosion cycles, the freeze-thaw cycles and the dry-wet cycles in Salt Lake, and the brine under the coupling of multiple factors, but the tensile strength reduction of the GFRP rebars is small, the ultimate tensile strength reduction of GFRP steel rebars is not significant, especially when the GFRP steel rebars is put in Salt Lake for more than 90 days. With the brine and more than 150 cycles of freeze-thaw, the yield strength of the GFRP bars is almost non-existent and close to the ultimate tensile strength, and the elastic modulus of the GFRP bars decreases and then increases with the increase of age, however, the elastic modulus of the GFRP rebars decreases gradually, which is not very large in comparison with the GFRP rebars under various coupling factors, and the ultimate tensile strength and the elastic modulus of the GFRP rebars under various coupling factors are smaller than those under a single factor, and the relationship with the corrosivity is: Salt Lake Brine + dry-wet cycle + freeze-thaw coupling > Salt Lake Brine + dry-wet cycle > freeze-thaw > Salt Lake Brine.

The failure characteristics of the cell at the fracture surface are observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM). Furthermore, based on the finite element analysis, the deformation and mechanical properties and the distribution of shear stress are analyzed. It is shown that the density has a significant effect on the shear strength and the shear modulus of the polymer material, which can be significantly improved with the increase of the density of the polymer. The cell distribution of the polymer follows the minimum energy principle. A higher density of the polymer means smaller surface area and surface energy, which would make the system more stable. The face centered cube building model can simulate the shear deformation behavior of the fitted material well, and the higher the density, the better the fitting effect.
