The standard current-state opacity cannot completely characterize higher-level security. To ensure the higher-level security requirements of a time-dependent system, we propose a strong version of opacity known as strong current-state opacity. For any path(state-event sequence with time information)π derived from a real-time observation that ends at a secret state, the strong current-state opacity of the real-time observation signifies that there is a non-secret path with the same real-time observation as π. We propose general and non-secret state class graphs, which characterize the general and non-secret states of time-dependent systems, respectively. To capture the observable behavior of non-secret states, a non-secret observer is proposed.Finally, we develop a structure called a real-time concurrent verifier to verify the strong current-state opacity of time labeled Petri nets. This approach is efficient since the real-time concurrent verifier can be constructed by solving a certain number of linear programming problems.展开更多

Of interest is the fact that the parallel control technique's introduction provides an unprecedented perspective on eliminating the negative effects of disturbance. Then, an eventtriggered mechanism is adopted to save communication resources while ensuring the system's stability. The coupled HamiltonJacobi(HJ) equation's solution is approximated using a critic neural network(NN), whose weights are updated in response to events. Furthermore, theoretical analysis reveals that the weight estimation error is uniformly ultimately bounded(UUB). Finally,numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed ETRPOC method.展开更多

摘要This paper addresses the verification of strong currentstate opacity with respect to real-time observations generated from a discrete-event system that is modeled with time labeled Petri nets. The standard current-state opacity cannot completely characterize higher-level security. To ensure the higher-level security requirements of a time-dependent system, we propose a strong version of opacity known as strong current-state opacity. For any path(state-event sequence with time information)π derived from a real-time observation that ends at a secret state, the strong current-state opacity of the real-time observation signifies that there is a non-secret path with the same real-time observation as π. We propose general and non-secret state class graphs, which characterize the general and non-secret states of time-dependent systems, respectively. To capture the observable behavior of non-secret states, a non-secret observer is proposed.Finally, we develop a structure called a real-time concurrent verifier to verify the strong current-state opacity of time labeled Petri nets. This approach is efficient since the real-time concurrent verifier can be constructed by solving a certain number of linear programming problems.

摘要The mass loss and nose blunting of a projectile during high-speed deep penetration into concrete target may cause structural destruction and ballistic trajectory instability of the penetrator,obviously reducing the penetration efficiency of penetrator.Provided that the work of friction between projectile and target is totally transformed into the heat to melt penetrator material at its nose surface,an engineering model is established for the mass loss and nose-blunting of the ogive-nosed projectile.A dimensionless formula for the relative mass loss of projectile is obtained by introducing the dimensionless impact function I and geometry function N of the projectile.The critical value V c0of the initial striking velocity is formulated,and the mass loss of projectile tends to increase weakly nonlinearly with I/N when V0〉V c0,whilst the mass loss is proportional to the initial kinetic energy of projectile when V0
摘要An investigation and outline of MetaControl and DeControl in Metaverses for control intelligence and knowledge automation are presented.Prescriptive control with prescriptive knowledge and parallel philosophy is proposed as the starting point for the new control philosophy and technology,especially for computational control of metasystems in cyberphysical-social systems.We argue that circular causality,the generalized feedback mechanism for complex and purposive systems,should be adapted as the fundamental principle for control and management of metasystems with metacomplexity in metaverses.Particularly,an interdisciplinary approach is suggested for MetaControl and DeControl as a new form of intelligent control based on five control metaverses:MetaVerses,MultiVerses,InterVerses,TransVerse,and DeepVerses.

摘要This paper highlights the utilization of parallel control and adaptive dynamic programming(ADP) for event-triggered robust parallel optimal consensus control(ETRPOC) of uncertain nonlinear continuous-time multiagent systems(MASs).First, the parallel control system, which consists of a virtual control variable and a specific auxiliary variable obtained from the coupled Hamiltonian, allows general systems to be transformed into affine systems. Of interest is the fact that the parallel control technique's introduction provides an unprecedented perspective on eliminating the negative effects of disturbance. Then, an eventtriggered mechanism is adopted to save communication resources while ensuring the system's stability. The coupled HamiltonJacobi(HJ) equation's solution is approximated using a critic neural network(NN), whose weights are updated in response to events. Furthermore, theoretical analysis reveals that the weight estimation error is uniformly ultimately bounded(UUB). Finally,numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed ETRPOC method.

摘要As a novel lightweight metallic material with excellent heat and corrosion resistance,elastic disordered microporous metal rubber(EDMMR)functions as an effective damping and support element in high-temperature environments where traditional polymer rubber fails.In this paper,a multi-scale finite element model for EDMMR is constructed using virtual manufacturing technology(VMT).Thermo-mechanical coupling analysis reveals a distinct inward expansion and dissipation phenomenon in EDMMR under high-temperature conditions,distinguishing it from porous materials.This phenomenon has the potential to impact the overall dimensions of EDMMR through transmission and accumulation processes.The experimental results demonstrate a random distribution of internal micro springs in EDMMR,considering the contact composition of spring microelements and the pore structure.By incorporating material elasticity,a predictive method for the thermal expansion coefficient of EDMMR based on the Schapery model is proposed.Additionally,standardized processes are employed to manufacture multiple sets of cylindrical EDMMR samples with similar dimensions but varying porosities.Thermal expansion tests are conducted on these samples,and the accuracy of the predicted thermal expansion coefficient is quantitatively validated through residual analysis.This research indicates that EDMMR maintains good structural stability in high-temperature environments.The thermal expansion rate of the material exhibits an opposite trend to the variation of elastic modulus with temperature,as the porosity rate changes.

摘要The opaque property plays an important role in the operation of a security-critical system,implying that pre-defined secret information of the system is not able to be inferred through partially observing its behavior.This paper addresses the verification of current-state,initial-state,infinite-step,and K-step opacity of networked discrete event systems modeled by labeled Petri nets,where communication losses and delays are considered.Based on the symbolic technique for the representation of states in Petri nets,an observer and an estimator are designed for the verification of current-state and initial-state opacity,respectively.Then,we propose a structure called an I-observer that is combined with secret states to verify whether a networked discrete event system is infinite-step opaque or K-step opaque.Due to the utilization of symbolic approaches for the state-based opacity verification,the computation of the reachability graphs of labeled Petri nets is avoided,which dramatically reduces the computational overheads stemming from networked discrete event systems.

摘要To improve the slow kinetics and poor mechanical strength of aqueous silver peroxide−aluminum(AgO−Al)battery cathode materials,the effects of different binders including polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)and polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)on the AgO cathode material were investigated.The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),cyclic voltammetry(CV),electrochemical impedance spectrum(EIS),and galvanostatic discharge.In contrast to the pure AgO and AgO−PTFE electrodes,the results demonstrated that the PVP effectively bound the electrode materials together.The prepared AgO−PVP as the cathode material of AgO−Al batteries could improve the battery capacity,exhibiting a high specific capacity(389.95 mA·h/g at 500 mA/cm2),a high operating voltage(1.75 V at 500 mA/cm2),a maximum energy density(665.65 W·h/kg),and a maximum power density(5236 W/kg).Furthermore,the electrochemical mechanism of the AgO−PVP cathode material was examined,revealing that the electrode exhibited rapid ion diffusion and effective interfacial ion/electron transport.

摘要With the development of cyber-physical systems,system security faces more risks from cyber-attacks.In this work,we study the problem that an external attacker implements covert sensor and actuator attacks with resource constraints(the total resource consumption of the attacks is not greater than a given initial resource of the attacker)to mislead a discrete event system under supervisory control to reach unsafe states.We consider that the attacker can implement two types of attacks:One by modifying the sensor readings observed by a supervisor and the other by enabling the actuator commands disabled by the supervisor.Each attack has its corresponding resource consumption and remains covert.To solve this problem,we first introduce a notion of combined-attackability to determine whether a closedloop system may reach an unsafe state after receiving attacks with resource constraints.We develop an algorithm to construct a corrupted supervisor under attacks,provide a verification method for combined-attackability in polynomial time based on a plant,a corrupted supervisor,and an attacker's initial resource,and propose a corresponding attack synthesis algorithm.The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by an example.
