The dynamic displacement and dynamic thermal moment of the beam are analyzed taking into consideration that the temperature gradient is independent as well as dependent on the beam displacement. The effect of length to thickness ratio of the beam on the thermally induced vibration is also investigated. The type of boundary conditions has its influence on the magnitude of dynamic displacement and dynamic thermal moment. A sustained thermally induced motion is observed with progress of time when the temperature gradient being evaluated is dependent on the forced convection generated due to beam motion. A finite element method (FEM) is used to solve the structural equation of motion as well as the heat transfer equation.展开更多

The IMC structure of the system is derived, and its robust stability and zero steady state error characteristics are analyzed. A new control algorithm is developed by adding the variation of the outputs to the index performance. The simulation results show that the method is effective and has zeros steady-state error.展开更多
