Integrated yaw and rollover control based on differential braking for off-road vehicles with mechanical elastic wheel

Aiming at the issue of yaw and rollover stability control for off-road vehicles with non-pneumatic mechanical elastic wheel(MEW),an integrated control system based on fuzzy differential braking is developed.By simplifying the structure of the MEW,a corresponding fitting brush tire model is constructed and its longitudinal and lateral tire force expressions are set up,respectively.Then,a nonlinear vehicle simulation model with MEW is established to validate the proposed control scheme based on Carsim.The designed yaw and rollover control system is a two-level structure with the upper additional moment controller,which utilizes a predictive load transfer ratio(PLTR)as the rollover index.In order to design the upper integrated control algorithm,fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative(PID)is adopted to coordinate the yaw and rollover control,simultaneously.And the lower control allocator realizes the additional moment to the vehicle by differential braking.Finally,a Carsim-simulink co-simulation model is constructed,and simulation results show that the integrated control system could improve the vehicle yaw and roll stability,and prevent rollover happening.

Chatter free sliding mode control of a chaotic coal mine power grid with small energy inputs

An augmented proportional-integral sliding surface was designed for a sliding mode controller. A chatter free sliding mode control strategy for a chaotic coal mine power grid was developed. The stability of the control strategy was proven by Lyapunov stability theorem. The proposed sliding mode control strategy eliminated the chattering phenomenon by replacing the sign function with a saturation function, and by replacing the constant coefficients in the reaching law with adaptive ones. An immune genetic algorithm was used to optimize the parameters in the improved reaching law. The cut-in time of the controllers was optimized to reduce the peak energy of their output. Simulations showed that the proposed sliding mode controller has good, chatter flee performance.

Absolute Stability for Lurie Control System with Unbound Time Delays

Time delay existes widely in various real engineering systems and can result in unsatisfactory performance or even an instability of control systems. Therefore, to investigate the stability for time delay systems is of vitul importance in control theory and its applications. Many researchers have studied the stability criteria of systems with constant delay or bound varying time delay, but few of them studied large time delay or unbound time delay. Large time delay existes commonly in various engineering applications. In this paper, the absolute stability of Lurie type direct control systems and indirect control systems with several time delays are discussed. Based on Lyapunov theory, the new delay dependent absolute stability criteria are derived. In our theorem, time delays can be unbound functions, which shows that the results are less conservative than that of existed criteria.

Lateral Stability Improvement of Car-Trailer Systems Using Active Trailer Braking Control

An active trailer braking controller to improve the lateral stability of car-trailer systems is presented. The special and complex structures of these types of vehicles exhibit unique unstable motion behavior, such as the trailer swing, jack-knifing and rollover. These unstable motion modes may lead to fatal accidents. The effects of passive mechanical parameters on the stability of car-trailer systems have been thoroughly investigated. Some of the passive parameters, such as the center of gravity of the trailer, may be drastically varied during various operating conditions. Even for an optimal design of a car-trailer system, based on a specific passive parameter set, the lateral stability cannot be guaranteed. In order to improve the lateral stability of car-trailer systems, an active trailer braking controller is designed using the Linear Quadratic Regular （LQR） technique. To derive the controller, a vehicle model with 3 Degrees Of Freedom （DOF） is developed to represent the car-trailer system. A single lane-change maneuver has been simulated to examine the performance of the controller and the numerical results are compared with those of the baseline design. The benchmark investigation indicates that the optimal controller based on the LQR technique can effectively improve the high-speed lateral stability of the car-trailer system.

Analysis and implementation of FURLS algorithm for active vibration control system with positive feedback

While positive feedback exists in an active vibration control system, it may cause instability of the whole system. To solve this problem, a feedforward adaptive controller is proposed based on the Fihered-U recursive least square （FURLS） algorithm. Algorithm development process is presented in this paper. Real time active vibration control experimental tests were done. The experiment resuits show that the active control algorithm proposed in this paper has good control performance for both narrow band disturbances and broad band disturbances.
