講演題目: Cooperative Mechanical Systems: Past, Present and Future

講演概要

In 1665 the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens discovered the in-phase and anti-phase synchronization of two pendulum clocks hanging on the wall. This ‘sympathy’ of clocks, as Huygens called such coordinated motion, has been observed in different areas like physics, nature, biology and engineering. The study of synchronization relies on a thorough understanding of the underlying dynamics of (time-delayed) coupled systems and extends also to larger groups of coupled systems. The purpose of the talk is, on the one hand, to review a range of exiting and interesting examples of synchronized systems and in particular to focus on the means why pairs of coupled identical (oscillating) systems may exhibit identical oscillatory motion. On the other hand, I will seek to give an approach that is suited to achieve coordination in mechanical systems, like robotics or automotive applications. In the talk various (laboratory) applications will be given.

講師略歴

Henk Nijmeijer (1955) obtained his MSc-degree and PhD-degree in Mathematics from the University of Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands, in 1979 and 1983, respectively. From 1983 untill 2000 he was affiliated with the Department of Applied Mathematics of the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands. Since, 1997 he was also part-time affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Since 2000, he is a full professor at Eindhoven, and chairs the Dynamics and Control group. He has published a large number of journal and conference papers, and several books, including the ‘classical’ Nonlinear Dynamical Control Systems (Springer, 1990, co-author A.J.van der Schaft), with A.Rodriguez, Synchronization of Mechanical Systems (World Scientific, 2003) with R.I.Leine, Dynamics and Bifurcations of Non-Smooth Mechanical Systems (Springer-Verlag, 2004), and with A.Pavlov and N.van de Wouw, Uniform Output Regulation of Nonlinear Systems (Birkhauser 2005). Recently the book Thor I.Fossen and H.Nijmeijer (eds) Parametric Resonance in Dynamical Systems, Springer (2012) has been published.
Henk Nijmeijer was editor in chief of the Journal of Applied Mathematics until 2009, corresponding editor of the SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, and board member of the International Journal of Control, Automatica, Journal of Dynamical Control Systems, International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Journal of Nonlinear Dynamics and the Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, and Hybrid Systems. He is a fellow of the IEEE since 2000 and was awarded in 1990 the IEE Heaviside premium. He is honorary knight of the ‘golden feedback loop’ (NTNU), since 2011. In the 2008 research evaluation of the Dutch Mechanical Engineering Departments the Dynamics and Control group was evaluated as excellent regarding all aspects (quality, productivity, relevance and viability). His research interests are in the broad scope of dynamics and control and their applications. He is since 2011 an IFAC Council Member.
