Free Transverse Vibration Analysis of Axially Functionally Graded Tapered Euler-Bernoulli Beams through Spline Finite Point Method by Peng Liu, Kun Lin, Hongjun Liu, Rong Qin

“…In the proposed method, the beam is discretized with a set of uniformly scattered spline nodes along the beam axis instead of meshes, and the displacement field is approximated by the particularly constructed cubic B-spline interpolation functions with good adaptability for various boundary conditions. Unlike traditional discretization and modeling methods, the global structural stiffness and mass matrices for beams of the proposed model are directly generated after spline discretization without needing element meshes, generation, and assembling. …”

Constraint-Following Approach for Platoon Control Strategy of Connected Autonomous Vehicles by Mengyan Hu, Ying Gao, Xiangmo Zhao, Bin Tian, Zhigang Xu

“…As the resistance of the vehicle during driving varies with time, this study regarded the CAV platoon system as a changing dynamic system and introduced the Udwadia–Kalaba (U–K) approach to simplify the solution. Apart from adding an equality constraint, unlike most other studies, this study imposed a bilateral inequality constraint on the intervehicle distance between successive CAVs to prevent collisions. …”
