Zou, L. (author), Zhan, Xiu xiu (author), Sun, Jie (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Wang, H. (author)Temporal networks refer to networks like physical contact networks whose topology changes over time. Predicting future temporal network is crucial e.g., to forecast the epidemics. Existing prediction methods are either relatively accurate but black-box, or white-box but less accurate. The lack of interpretable and accurate prediction methods...journal article 2022

Shao, X. (author), Yao, Weiran (author), Li, Xiaolei (author), Sun, Guanghui (author), Wu, Ligang (author)This letter investigates the direct trajectory optimization of the free-floating space manipulator (FFSM). The main purpose is to plan the joint space trajectories to reduce the spacecraft motion due to the joint rotation during the FFSM performing tasks. To improve the calculation efficiency, the adaptive Radau pseudospectral method (A-RPM)...journal article 2022

Xin, Haohui (author), Li, Jie (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Liu, Yuqing (author), Sun, Qing (author)Bolted joints in steel structures are generally subject to combined actions. The research on ultimate capacity of bolted joints under combined tension and shear actions, twin shear actions, and combined tension-twin shear actions is relatively limited. The aim of this paper is to calibrate the fracture locus of grade 10.9 bolts using the...journal article 2022

Sun, B. (author), van Kampen, E. (author)This paper develops an event-triggered optimal control method that can deal with asymmetric input constraints for nonlinear discrete-time systems. The implementation is based on an explainable global dual heuristic programming (XGDHP) technique. Different from traditional GDHP, the required derivatives of cost function in the proposed method...journal article 2022
