The spatiotemporal chaos in the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model is studied. A model-free reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed to the design of a controller. There is no need for explicit knowledge on system, target states and unstable…
The ability for real-time control of topological defects can open up prospects for dynamical manipulation of macroscopic properties of solids. A sub-category of these defects, formed by particle dislocations, can be effectively described…
A discrete Frenkel-Kontorova model with two alternate spring constants $k_{1}$ and $k_{2}$ is studied. It is found that this model has many surprising behaviours. The continuum version of this model is different from the sine-Gordon…
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a feedback control method that allows synchronizing the motion of a chain of several coupled nonlinear oscillators actuated through one end of the chain. The chain considered in this work is a…
The single, double, and triple pendulum has served as an illustrative experimental benchmark system for scientists to study dynamical behavior for more than four centuries. The pendulum system exhibits a wide range of interesting behaviors,…
The squeezed state is used to study the one-dimensional quantum mechanical Frenkel Kontorova model. A set of coupled equations for the particle's expectation value and the fluctuations for the ground state are derived. It is shown that…
Motor-actuated pendulums have been established as arguably the most common laboratory prototypes used in control system education because of the relevance to robot manipulator control in industry. Meanwhile, multi-rotor drones like…
A two-dimensional \underline{Frenkel-Kontorova model} under a steady external force is used to study the nonlinear sliding friction between flat macroscopic surfaces with a lubricant layer in between. The nonequilibrium properties of the…
Three cellular automaton (CA) models of increasing complexity are introduced to model driven diffusive systems related to the generalized Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) models recently proposed by Braun [Phys.Rev.E58, 1311 (1998)]. The models are…
A 1D model of interacting particles moving over a periodic substrate and in a position dependent temperature profile is considered. When the substrate and the temperature profile are spatially asymmetric a center-of-mass velocity develops,…
This paper presents a novel type of mobile rolling robot designed as a modular platform for non-prehensile manipulation, highlighting the associated control challenges in achieving balancing control of the robotic system. The developed…
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the atomic mobility and diffusivity of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model which takes into account anharmonic (exponential) interaction of atoms subjected to a three-dimensional…
The wavefunction of an incommensurate ground state for a one-dimensional discrete sine-Gordon model -- the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model -- at zero temperature is calculated by the quantum Monte Carlo method. It is found that the ground…
Dynamics is a core discipline in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering programs and with the ubiquitous nature of control in modern day applications, the field of mechatronics has gained popularity. Mechatronics refers to the field of…
Time-delayed control in a balancing problem may be a nonsmooth function for a variety of reasons. In this paper we study a simple model of the control of an inverted pendulum by either a connected movable cart or an applied torque for which…
Through multiscale analysis of the adjoint Fokker-Planck equation, strict bounds are derived for the center of mass diffusivity of an overdamped harmonic chain in a periodic potential, often known as the discrete Frenkel-Kontorova model.…
If one wants to explore the properties of a dynamical system systematically one has to be able to track equilibria and periodic orbits regardless of their stability. If the dynamical system is a controllable experiment then one approach is…
In this article we design a backstepping control law based on geometric principles to swing up a spherical pendulum mounted on a moving quadrotor. The available degrees of freedom in the control vector also permit us to position the plane…
Simple models for friction are typically one-dimensional, but real interfaces are two-dimensional. We investigate the effects of the second dimension on static and dynamic friction by using the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model. We study the two…
A new generation of experiments on dry macroscopic friction has revealed that the transition from static to dynamic friction is essentially a spatially and temporally non-uniform process, initiated by a rupture-like detachment front. We…
