Frequency domain theory of Nonlinear systems 

·         This series of publications present a benchmark, novel and systematic parametric Characteristic Approach to the analysis and design of nonlinear systems with various applications to signal processing, system identification, stability, control, vibration control, system analysis & design, fault detection etc·         I systematically proposed and developed this method in the past more than 10 years, which presents an explicit analytical structure and expression of the output spectrum of nonlinear systems with respect to model parameters of interest subject to any input, named as OFRF (output frequency response function) initially or nCOS (nonlinear characteristic output spectrum) method later·         This method presents an alternative and effective tool for structural optimization with respect to model parameters and input excitation in a nonlinear system, and also a unique insight into understanding of nonlinear influence leading to a series of other high-impact R&D for employing nonlinear benefits in engineering systems
---This is the first time to present a closed form for the parametric bound of output frequency response instead of a series form and thus leads to a less conservative convergence bound estimation

The bio-inspired anti-vibration structures and applications: the X-shaped structure/mechanism approach 

The method provides a tunable and beneficially nonlinear stiffness, damping and inertia/mass system – an innovative cutting-edge method and technology, -- a series of leading results. I initiated, proposed and led this series of studies even since 2010 with the first task assigned to a MSC student (recorded and archived in the PolyU library: B Xue (under supervision of Prof XJ Jing), Simulation study on scissor-like element vibrations, Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University), followed by more PhD students ad Postdoc later on. It is revealed for the first time that the bio-inspired X-shaped or limb-like structure can provide very beneficial nonlinear stiffness, damping and inertia characteristics and can be applied extensively to various critical engineering issues, including vibration control, energy harvesting, and sensor design etc. Even though in active vibration control, the bio-inspired nonlinear dynamics can also help save energy cost. Robotic design benefits from the bio-inspired passive structure for advantageous body suspension as well. Potentially, the X-shaped structure approach presents an innovative technology to extensive engineering issues for vibration control. The X-shaped can have many other variants like quadrilateral or polygon or diamond structure or mechanism etc. 
---The muscle function and swinging arms of human body are for the first time employed with an innovative and simple mechanical design for vibration control and successfully validated by experimental prototypes for their excellent beneficial nonlinear features.
---It is for the first time to develop a human-body inspired passive vibration isolation system and revealed for the first time that the rotation of arms can increase equivalent body mass and vibration damping effect
---It is for the first time to develop an innovative bio-inspired anti-vibration exoskeleton for operating hand-held jackhammers in construction
---This is for the first time revealed that the equivalent damping of the bio-inspired Limb-like structure can provide very beneficial nonlinear damping for vibration control
---The first 6DoF passive vibration isolation platform achieving quasi-zero stiffness (around 1.5 Hz) in all directions--- After combining with other special structures, amazing performance can be obtained due to the structural dynamics coupling.
---It is revealed for the first time that the limb-like structure can provide very beneficial nonlinear stiffness for passive vibration isolation---This is the first time that we presented and formulated the work and ideas in the context of bio-inspired methodologies. This is actually the true source where the idea came from, although it was initially named as scissor-like structure.
---This is the first work formally published in this series of studies by following the bio-inspired idea for exploring nonlinear benefits in vibration control initially done in [Xue & Jing 2013]
--- This is actually the first work starting this series of study ever since 2010, and the structure is initially named by the student as scissor-like element 

Energy-saving robust control scheme by employing bio-inspired nonlinear dynamics and system disturbance: 

A totally new control scheme – green, robust simpler control and lower energy cost
--- The proposed control method could be for the first time to establish a deliberate assessor on the disturbance effect for employing positive response incurred by disturbance, consequently improving the transient control performance significantly with an obvious reduction of energy cost up to 51% or more in experiments. 
---The nonlinear damping has been shown to be beneficial to vibration control for years but this is the first time to be designed in vehicle systems with only a hardware filter design for achieving a beneficial nonlinear damping
---It is revealed for the first time that the bio-inspired nonlinearity-based tracking control in vehicle suspension can save energy cost significantly 

The quasi-zero-stiffness based vibration sensors: A novel concept and technology

The quasi-zero or zero-stiffness with passive structure design is innovatively explored and employed which can create an absolute stable point in a broadband frequency domain and thus can be employed for vibration measurement, not only in static environments but also in moving platforms. This presents an innovative way to solve the issue for absolute vibration displacement measurement existing in the related field for many years 
---This is the first prototype of the quasi-zero stiffness based sensor system for directly and accurately measuring absolute vibration displacement in moving platform
---This is the first time to propose the concept of the quasi-zero stiffness based sensor system for directly and accurately measuring absolute vibration displacement in moving platform

A robust control approach to learning/system identification

A novel and systematic robust control approach to nonlinear system identification and learning/classification problems has been developed in recent years, which casts the traditional identification/learning problems with input output training data into a robust control or robust output feedback control problem and thus achieve more powerful and robust identification performance. This is a totally different system identification scheme in the literature.
