Summary: The present study investigates the bifurcation characteristics of a pitch-plunge aeroelastic system with coupled non-smooth nonlinearities in both structural and aerodynamic aspects. The study shows that the freeplay gap plays a key role in combining the effects of structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities. Interesting discontinuity-induced bifurcation scenarios arise at high values of the freeplay gap, which can significantly impact the safety of the aeroelastic system.

Summary: This study investigates the synchronization characteristics of a pitch-plunge aeroelastic system under the influence of coupled structural free-play and dynamic stall-induced aerodynamic non-linearities. The results show that free-play nonlinearity plays a dominant role in the dynamical transition when attached flow is present. The onset of dynamic stall is found to be crucial in bifurcation scenarios at high flow speed regimes.

Summary: This study provides novel perspectives on the nonlinear aeroelastic characteristics of all-movable fins with freeplay nonlinearities. An unsteady aerodynamic model based on the second-order piston theory considering thickness effects is employed. A discrete scanning method using the describing function method is established for systems with multiple freeplay nonlinearities to solve limit-cycle oscillations (LCOs) and avoid solution loss. The influence of support stiffness and freeplay size ratio on the system's dynamical response is analyzed.

Summary: The frequency-time domain method is a powerful tool but limited to steady-state solutions. A modified frequency-time domain method is proposed to investigate nonlinear dynamic behaviors with initial conditions. The feasibility is validated through numerical results and compared with the Runge-Kutta algorithm. The sensitivity of parameters and calculation methods of convolution integral contributes to strategies for accuracy.

Summary: This paper proposes a backbone-curve-based framework for the identification of folding fins with freeplay nonlinearity. The method is more direct and elegant than most existing nonlinear identification approaches and consists of three steps: obtaining the linear model, solving the backbone curves analytically, and identifying the freeplay parameters through curve fitting. Numerical experiments and a real-life example demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Summary: This article investigates a robust output regulation problem for unknown nonlinear strict-feedback systems with input delay, using a combination of nonlinear fuzzy internal model and adaptive fuzzy backstepping control. The control strategy is divided into two steps, involving the design of a novel nonlinear fuzzy internal model and an adaptive fuzzy backstepping control scheme. The simulation results confirm the validity of the theoretical results in an interconnected power system scenario.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of freeplay, multi-segmented, and impact nonlinearities in the pitch and control surface degrees of freedom on the nonlinear responses of a three-degree of freedom aeroelastic system. The results show the presence of grazing/sliding bifurcations and complex responses due to nonlinear coupling of the system's frequencies, including sudden transitions between harmonic and chaotic responses.

Summary: This study investigates the quenching of limit cycle oscillation (LCO) in a supercritical airfoil (NLR 7301) considering freeplay in transonic viscous flow. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based on Navier-Stokes equations is used to calculate transonic aerodynamic forces. A loosely coupled scheme with steady CFD and an efficient graphic method is developed to obtain the aerodynamic preload. The LCO quenching is observed based on nonlinear dynamic aeroelastic response obtained using a time marching approach.

Summary: In today's digital society, new design alternatives are needed for substitution box structures to develop secure information systems. Random selection-based structures are a good alternative against attacks, but their low nonlinearity criterion is a problem that can be addressed using optimization algorithms.

Summary: This paper proposes an improved homotopy analysis method (IHAM) for solving nonlinear differential equations, particularly in cases with strong nonlinearity. The method is applied to derive explicit solutions for the rotation angle of a cantilever beam under point load at the free end. Compared to traditional methods, this improved method includes two steps and achieves faster convergence and a larger convergence range. For the problem of large deflection in beams, the solution obtained with this method is more approachable for engineering designers, reducing potential errors due to extreme beam lengths.

Summary: The paper reanalyzes the electroweak rho parameter by using the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) and achieves a more precise pQCD prediction. By suppressing residual scale dependences, the magnitudes of uncertainties of the W-boson mass and effective leptonic weak-mixing angle are predicted to be well below the precision anticipated for future electron-position colliders such as FCC, CEPC, and ILC.
