Control of the underactuated mechanical systems using natural motion

Zdeněk Neusser, Michael Valášek (2012)

Kybernetika

The paper deals with the control of underactuated mechanical systems between equilibrium positions across the singular positions. The considered mechanical systems are in the gravity field. The goal is to find feasible trajectory connecting the equilibrium positions that can be the basis of the system control. Such trajectory can be stabilized around both equilibrium positions and due to the gravity forces the mechanical system overcomes the singular positions. This altogether constitutes the control...

Microscopic Modelling of Active Bacterial Suspensions

A. Decoene, S. Martin, B. Maury (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We present two-dimensional simulations of chemotactic self-propelled bacteria swimming in a viscous fluid. Self-propulsion is modelled by a couple of forces of same intensity and opposite direction applied on the rigid bacterial body and on an associated region in the fluid representing the flagellar bundle. The method for solving the fluid flow and the motion of the bacteria is based on a variational formulation written on the whole domain, strongly...

The Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians starts a new series of publica- tions: Mathematics and Its Applications. The first issue of the series is “Multi- body System Mechanics: Modelling, Stability, Control and Robustness”. The authors are well known mathematicians with various published books and articles. Professor Vladimir Konoplev works in the Institute of Problems of Mechanical Engineering, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg, Russia), while Professor Alexander Cheremensky works...

Numerical simulation of suspension induced rheology

Rodolphe Prignitz, Eberhard Bänsch (2010)

Kybernetika

Flow of particles suspended in a fluid can be found in numerous industrial processes utilizing sedimentation, fluidization and lubricated transport such as food processing, catalytic processing, slurries, coating, paper manufacturing, particle injection molding and filter operation. The ability to understand rheology effects of particulate flows is elementary for the design, operation and efficiency of the underlying processes. Despite the fact that particle technology is widely used, it is still...
