In practical engineering, the frequency splitting of Hemispherical Resonator Gyro (HRG) caused by uneven mass distribution seriously affects the precision of HRG. So, the inherent frequency is an important parameter of micro-Hemispherical Resonator Gyro (m-HRG). In the processing of hemispherical resonator, there are some morphological errors and internal defects in the hemispherical resonator, which affect the inherent frequency and the working mode of m-HRG, and reduce the precision and performance of m-HRG. In order to improve the precision and performance of m-HRG, the partial differential equation of the hemispherical resonator is solved, and the three-dimensional model using ANSYS software accurately reflected the actual shape is established in this paper. Then, the mode of hemispherical resonator in ideal state and uneven mass distribution state are simulated and analyzed. The frequency splitting mechanism of the hemispherical resonator is determined by calculation and demonstration, and the frequency splitting of the hemispherical resonator is suppressed by partial mass elimination. The results show that the absolute balance of energy can ensure the high-quality factor and the minimum frequency splitting of the hemispherical resonator. Therefore, during the processing of hemispherical resonator, the balance of mass should be achieved as much as possible to avoid various surface damage, internal defects and uneven mass distribution to guarantee the high-quality factor Q and minimum frequency splitting of hemispherical resonator.
Aiming at the problem of the combined navigation system of on-board GNSS (global navigation satellite system)/SINS (strapdown inertial navigation system), the accuracy of the combined navigation system decreases due to the dispersion of the SINS over time and under the condition of No GNSS signals. An improved LSTM (long short-term memory) neural network in No GNSS signal conditions is proposed to assist the combination of navigation data and the positioning algorithm. When the GNSS signal is normal input, the current on-board combination of the navigation module’s output sensor data information is used for training to improve the LSTM algorithm and to establish the incremental output of the GNSS position of the mapping of the different weights. In No GNSS signal conditions, using the improved LSTM algorithm can improve the combination of navigation and positioning algorithms. Under No GNSS signal conditions, the improved LSTM training model is used to predict the dynamics of SINS information component data. Under No GNSS signal conditions, the combined navigation filtering design is completed, and the error correction of SINS navigation and positioning information is carried out to obtain a more accurate combination of navigation and positioning system accuracy. It can be seen through the actual test experiment using a sports car in the two trajectories under the conditions of No GNSS signals that the proposed algorithm can be compared with the LSTM algorithm. In testing road sections, the proposed algorithm, when compared with the LSTM algorithm to obtain the northward position that the mean square errors were improved by 55.63% and 76.64%, and the eastward position mean square errors were improved by 43.42% and 54.67%. In a straight-line trajectory, improving the effect’s navigation and positioning accuracy and reliability is significant.
In this paper, a multi-strategy enhanced chimpanzee optimization algorithm (MSEChOA) acting on path planning for delivery vehicles is proposed to achieve the goal of shortening global path lengths for the delivery unmanned vehicles and obtaining safer paths. In the initialization phase, the algorithm introduces a hybrid good point set and chaos initialization strategy, combining the advantages of both to enhance the randomness and homogeneity of the initial population. After that, it incorporates a benchmark weight strategy and Gaussian-modulated cosine factor to adaptively adjust algorithm parameters, thus balancing the global and local search capabilities and improving the search efficiency. In the end, the algorithm incorporates a global search enhancer (GEE) to further enhance the global search capability in the later phases, thereby avoiding local optima. Experiments on several benchmark test functions show that MSEChOA outperforms traditional ChOA and other optimization algorithms in optimization accuracy and convergence speed. In simulation experiments, MSEChOA shows stronger path planning ability and good computational efficiency in both simple and complex environments, proving its feasibility and superiority in the field of path planning.

This paper focuses on the linear parameter varying (LPV) modeling and controller design for a flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle (AHV). Firstly, by selecting the measurable altitude and velocity as gain-scheduled variables, the original longitudinal nonlinear model for AHV is transformed into the LPV model via average gridding division, vertex trimming, Jacobian linearization, and multiple linear regression within the entire flight envelope. Secondly, using the tensor product model transformation method, the obtained LPV model is converted into the polytopic LPV model via high-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD). Third, the validity and applicability of the HOSVD-based LPV model are further demonstrated by designing a robust controller for command tracking control during maneuvering flight over a large envelope.

Interval time-varying delay is common in control process, e.g., automatic robot control system, and its stability analysis is of great significance to ensure the reliable control of industrial processes. In order to improve the conservation of the existing robust stability analysis method, this paper considers a class of linear systems with norm-bounded uncertainty and interval time-varying delay as the research object. Less conservative robust stability criterion is put forward based on augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii (L-K) functional method and reciprocally convex combination. Firstly, the delay interval is partitioned into multiple equidistant subintervals, and a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional comprising quadruple-integral term is introduced for each subinterval. Secondly, a novel delay-dependent stability criterion in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is given by less conservative Wirtinger-based integral inequality approach. Three numerical comparative examples are given to verify the superiority of the proposed approach in reducing the conservation of conclusion. For the first example about closed-loop control systems with interval time-varying delays, the proposed robust stability criterion could get MADB (Maximum Allowable Delay Bound) about 0.3 more than the best results in the previous literature; and, for two other uncertain systems with interval time-varying delays, the MADB results obtained by the proposed method are better than those in the previous literature by about 0.045 and 0.054, respectively. All the example results obtained in this paper clearly show that our approach is better than other existing methods.
