Comparative Analysis of Neural-Network and Fuzzy Auto-Tuning Sliding Mode Controls for Overhead Cranes under Payload and Cable Variations by Muhammad A. Shehu, Ai-jun Li, Bing Huang, Yu Wang, Bojian Liu

“…In this work, the nonlinear model of the overhead crane was established and the sliding mode control (SMC) was proposed that ensured the existence of sliding motion in the presence of payload and hoisting height variations, and viscous frictions. To maximize the benefits derived from the proposed control method, novel sliding slope-update based on intelligent neural-network and fuzzy algorithms were developed to tune the controller, guaranteeing precise tracking of the actuated variables as well as regulation of the unactuated variables. …”

Mechanistic Study of Rail Gouging during Hypersonic Rocket Sled Tests by Xuewen Zhou, Huadong Yan, Cheng Chen, Yuanfeng Yu

“…The results showed the following. (1) Adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) form when stress reduction under the combined action of frictional heating and high-speed deformation exceeds the strain-hardening effect of the rail material. (2) The nonuniform deformation of the edges of ASBs leads to the generation of cracks that split the rail surface. …”
