...XinJiang Lu; Han-Xiong Li; C. L. Philip Chen In this paper, a novel robust design approach is proposed to design the robustness of the nonlinear system under large uncontrollable variation. First, a variable sensitivity approach is proposed to formulate the nonlinear effect into the variable...

.... An interpretable linear system solver is constructed to ensure interpretability of numerical results. A direct linearization method for nonlinear systems is also developed. This new approach enhances traditional numerical analysis methods by preserving logical information during computation such that more...

... with respect to their applications, methodology, expected results and the assumptions with their consequences. 14 These results disagree with the hypothesis that sliding resistance has an equivalent damping property. In order to investigate this, the dynamic response of the nonlinear system...
