The fuzzy algorithm is used to improve the rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) method. The trapezoidal function is used to optimize the evaluation score when the joint angle is at the critical value. The final evaluation result is obtained through the rule base. Strain index(SI) is used to evaluate the risk of musculoskeletal operations such as hands and wrists, and the comprehensive score is weighted with fuzzy RULA evaluation. The ergonomics of the virtual hand assembly process is continuously evaluated to capture the risk posture in the assembly operation. Finally, the above methods are integrated based on the 3D Experience platform and verified by the assembly of mobile communication components.

In this algorithm, the multi-scale kernel is applied to the improved residual module to construct a generator, which realizes the extraction and fusion of multiple receptive fields feature information. The discriminator design considers the relationship between global information and local details, and establishes a global-region dual discriminator structure, which can ensure the consistency of overall style and edge texture. An unsupervised loss function based on human visual sensory system is proposed. Reference image constraints are not required, and the confrontation loss and the content loss are jointly optimized to obtain better color and structure performance. Experimental evaluations on multiple data sets show that the proposed algorithm can better correct color deviation and contrast, protect details from loss, and is superior to typical algorithms in subjective and objective indexes.

Static Output Feedback Control of Vehicle Active Front Steering Considering Multiple Performance Constraints MAO Yingzhong, FENG Zhiyong, GUO Huiru 2022, 56 (2):  156-164.  doi: 10.16183/j.cnki.jsjtu.2021.073 Abstract ( 1263 )   HTML ( 13 )   PDF (1328KB) ( 490 )   Save To enable the vehicle to accurately track the ideal yaw rate, thereby improving the vehicle path tracking ability, this paper proposes a static output feedback (SOF) control method for active front steering (AFS) considering multiple performance constraints. Since the cornering stiffness of vehicle tire is a strong nonlinear parameter, the cornering stiffness is taken as the uncertainty parameter of the model. In addition, the two-degree-of-freedom poly-topic model of the vehicle dynamics is established based on the saturated linear tire model to deal with the parameter uncertainty. Moreover, the design of robust SOF controllers with regional pole configuration constraints and H∞ performance constraints are considered for this type of uncertain system. Furthermore, the linear matrix inequality (LMI) sufficient conditions for this type of uncertain system are given, and a coordinate transformation matrix(CTM) optimization method is used to iteratively solve the obtained LMI conditions for the first time. Thus, the robust optimal H∞ SOF controller for this type of uncertain system is obtained. Co-simulation results of MATLAB/Simulink and CarSim show that the designed SOF controller can significantly improve the tracking performance of the desired yaw rate and improve the vehicle path tracking ability. In addition, the controller has a good robustness to the uncertainties of vehicle model parameters. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

The control strategy employed in the asymmetric hydraulic system of large aspect ratio requires more careful considerations when operating in the harsh and severe environment. An adaptive feedback linearization control strategy was proposed by employing the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) for identification. First, a nonlinear model of the asymmetric hydraulic system was established. Then, an adaptive controller was designed based on RBFNN and feedback linearization. Finally, simulations were performed by using MATLAB/Simulink under the five-stage wave environment at a 90° wave encounter angle and under the external interference condition. The result shows that this method has a good traceability and robustness compared to classic PID and sliding mode control methods, which is more suitable in control of the wave compensation platform in complex sea conditions. The new controller can significantly increase the compensation accuracy and anti-interference ability, and provide a workbench for the 6-DOF parallel platform operation in deep waters.

Using the convolution neural network (CNN) framework, the convolution layer of CNN and the long and short-term memory (LSTM) layer of recurrent neural network (RNN) were connected in parallel to form a new CRNN, so as to make full use of the learning ability of CNN to spatial domain information and RNN to time domain information. The weights were shared in each layer to reduce network parameters. A novel feature map was constructed using FPN, and one-dimensional signal and two-dimensional signal formed after stacking were input to extract the feature of the signal collected by the sensor, and realize fault diagnosis. The average diagnostic accuracy of this method is 99.20%, which is at least 3.62% higher than that of the basic neural network model, indicating that this method has a high diagnostic accuracy and a strong robustness. Using the bearing data set of Case Western Reserve University, it is proved that the method has a good universality. The t-SNE method was used to visually analyze the feature learning effect of the model. The results show that different fault category features have good clustering effect.

The main idea of this algorithm is to reallocate CT frequency points by local maximum synchrosqueezing operation. The experiment results show that the LMSCT algorithm has a higher TF concentration and a strong ability to suppress the interference of noise. The method can maintain a better resolution of TF representation at a low signal-to-noise ratio. In the application analysis of IPIX processing radar signals, the LMSCT algorithm can clearly describe the TF joint distribution characteristic of target signal and determine the distance unit of target, which provides the judgement basis for small target detection of IPIX radar signal in the background of sea clutter.
