Extended-state-observer-based robust torsional vibration suppression for rolling mill main drive system with input saturation

A robust torsional vibration suppression strategy is proposed for the main drive system of the rolling mill subject to uncertainties,disturbances and input saturation.With given model information incorporated into observer design,an extended state observer that relies only on roller speed measurements is developed to estimate the system states and lumped uncertainties of the rolling mill main drive system.To handle the motor torque saturation,an auxiliary signal system with the same order as the plant is constructed.The error between the control input and plant input is taken as the input of the constructed auxiliary system,and a number of signals are generated to compensate for the effect of the motor torque saturation.Furthermore,a robust output feedback controller is introduced to obtain better transient and steady-state performance of the rolling mill main drive system and the stability of the closed-loop system is strictly proved via Lyapunov theory.Finally,comparative simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy.

Adaptive command filter constraint control of rolling mill torsional vibration under current harmonic

An adaptive command filter control strategy was proposed to realize the asymptotic tracking of the roll speed,which successfully suppressed torsional vibration for the main drive system of the rolling mill with nonlinear friction,nonlinear damping,current harmonic,time-varying stiffness and unknown disturbance.A finite time predetermined performance method was proposed,so that the speed tracking error of the main transmission system was always constrained in the performance function and converged to its minimum boundary within the specified time.Based on the adaptive estimation of harmonic amplitude,the torque control law of the motor was obtained by using the filter backstepping method,which prevented the torsional vibration of the system caused by the input fluctuation and avoided the complexity explosion of the controller design,and the stability of the closed-loop system was strictly proved by the Lyapunov theory.The actual numerical simulation verified the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Zn-Co bimetallic supported ZSM-5 catalyst for phosgene-free synthesis of hexamethylene–1,6–diisocyanate by thermal decomposition of hexamethylene–1,6–dicarbamate

A set of mono-and bimetallic（Zn-Co） supported ZSM-5 catalysts was first prepared by PEG-additive method. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were investigated by FTIR, XPS, XRD, N2adsorption-desorption measurements, SEM, EDS and NH3-TPD techniques. The physicochemical properties showed that the Zn Co2O4 spinel oxide was formed on the ZSM-5 support and provided effectual synergetic effect between Zn and Co species for the bimetallic catalyst. Furthermore, bimetallic supported ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited weak, moderate and strong acidic sites, while the monometallic supported ZSM-5 catalyst showed only weak and moderate or strong acidic sites. Their catalytic performances for thermal decomposition of hexamethylene–1,6–dicarbamate（HDC） to hexamethylene–1,6–diisocyanate（HDI） were then studied. It was found that the bimetallic supported ZSM-5 catalysts,especially Zn-2Co/ZSM-5 catalyst showed excellent catalytic performance due to the good synergetic effect between Co and Zn species, which provided a suitable contribution of acidic sites. HDC conversion of 100% with HDI selectivity of 91.2% and by-products selectivity of 1.3% could be achieved within short reaction time of 2.5 h over Zn-2Co/ZSM-5 catalyst.
