Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinearity is widespread in mechanical systems, especially under the influence of material and geometric nonlinearities, where nonlinear mechanical systems exhibit complex dynamic characteristics. Vibration analysis plays a critical role in the design, optimization, and maintenance of nonlinear mechanical systems, as it helps reveal the nonlinear behavior, dynamic properties, and underlying relationships between parameters. To better understand these characteristics, developing efficient vibration analysis method is crucial, including theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and experimental validation. In addition, the application of active, semi-active, and passive vibration control technologies can effectively suppress the nonlinear vibration, enhancing the stability and performance of nonlinear mechanical systems.

This Special Issue aims to present the latest research results and trends regarding vibration analyses of nonlinear mechanical systems. Key topics include nonlinear dynamic modeling, vibration analysis methods, numerical simulation techniques, the bifurcation and chaos phenomena, and vibration control technology of nonlinear mechanical systems. We welcome original research and review papers that will further advance this field.

Runway surface roughness is recognized as a principal cause of passenger aircraft vibration during taxiing, adversely affecting ride comfort, safety, and even human health. Effective mitigation of such vibrations is therefore essential for improving passenger experience and operational reliability. Previous studies have investigated passive, semi-active, and intelligent controllers such as PID, H∞, and ANFIS; however, the comprehensive application of a robust adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (RANFIS) to active landing-gear control has not yet been addressed. The novelty of this work lies in combining robustness with adaptive learning of fuzzy rules and neural network parameters, thereby filling this critical gap in the literature. To investigate this, a six-degrees-of-freedom aircraft dynamic model was developed, and three controllers were comparatively evaluated: model-based neural network (MBNN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and the proposed RANFIS. Performance was assessed in terms of rise time, settling time, peak value, and steady-state error under stochastic runway excitations. Simulation results show that while MBNN and ANFIS provide satisfactory control, RANFIS achieved superior performance, reducing vibration peaks to ≤0.3–1.0 cm, shortening settling times to <1.5 s, and decreasing steady-state errors to <0.05 cm. These findings confirm that RANFIS offers a more effective solution for enhancing comfort, safety, and structural durability in next-generation active landing-gear systems. Full article
