Adaptive sliding mode attitude control of 2-degrees-of-freedom helicopter system with actuator saturation and disturbances (2023)
Journal Article
Li, R., Lei, C., Shi, B., Zhu, Q., & Yue, X. (in press). Adaptive sliding mode attitude control of 2-degrees-of-freedom helicopter system with actuator saturation and disturbances. Journal of Vibration and Control, https://doi.org/10.1177/10775463231212530

The modelling uncertainties, external disturbance and actuator saturation issues will degrade the performance and even the safety of flight. To improve control performance, this study proposes an adaptive U-model based double sliding control (UDSMC)...

Performance enhancement of vehicle suspension system with geometrically nonlinear inerters (2023)
Journal Article
Shi, B., Dai, W., & Yang, J. (2024). Performance enhancement of vehicle suspension system with geometrically nonlinear inerters. Archive of Applied Mechanics, 94, 39–55. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00419-023-02502-4

This research investigates the nonlinear dynamics and performance enhancement of a suspension system using a diamond-shaped linkage with inerter (D-inerter). The proposed suspension system consists of two inerters embedded in a four-bar linkage mecha...

Model-free robust decentralised control of multi-input-multi-output nonlinear interconnected dynamic systems (2023)
Journal Article
Zhu, Q., Li, R., Zhang, J., & Shi, B. (in press). Model-free robust decentralised control of multi-input-multi-output nonlinear interconnected dynamic systems. Journal of Vibration and Control, https://doi.org/10.1177/10775463231206601

This study presents a generalised framework for model-free robust decentralised control (MFRDC) of interconnected MIMO dynamic systems, with the goal of significantly reducing complexity in model-based design. A model-free robust sliding mode control... Read More about Model-free robust decentralised control of multi-input-multi-output nonlinear interconnected dynamic systems.

Vibrational energy transfer in coupled mechanical systems with nonlinear joints (2023)
Journal Article
Shi, B., Yang, J., & Wiercigroch, M. (2023). Vibrational energy transfer in coupled mechanical systems with nonlinear joints. International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 260, Article 108612. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmecsci.2023.108612

This study investigates vibrational transfer and energy flow in nonlinearly coupled systems, each subjected to a harmonic force with different excitation frequency. A nonlinear joint having either smooth or non-smooth stiffness characteristics at the... Read More about Vibrational energy transfer in coupled mechanical systems with nonlinear joints.
