The accuracy and validity of this virtual test system proposed were verified by comparing the measurements made with the system proposed with the measurements made with conventional torque meters. It is concluded from the results of comparison that from the mathematic model established for the DC permant magnet motors, both major parameters and operating characteristics can be directly established for the DC motors without measuring their torques and rotational speed, a perfect on line measurement and test system has been established for the DC permanent magnet motors using the theory of virtual test system.

The i...A general approach for controlling of periodical dynamic systems was presented by taking robotic yoyo as an example. The height of the robot arm when the yoyo arrives at the bottom was chosen as virtual control. The initial amplitude of yoyo could be mapped to the desired final amplitude by adjusting the virtual control. First,the yoyo motion was formulated into a nonlinear optimal control problem which contained the virtual control. The reference trajectory of robot could be obtained by solving the optimal problem with analytic method or more general numerical approach. Then,both PI and deadbeat control methods were used to control the yoyo system. The simulation results show that the analytic solution of the reference trajectory is identical to the numerical solution,which mutually validates the correctness of the two solution methods. In simulation,the initial amplitude of yoyo is set to be 0.22 m which is 10% higher than the desired final amplitude of 0.2 m. It can be seen that the amplitude achieves the desired value asymptotically in about five periods when using PI control,while it needs only one period with deadbeat control. The reference trajectory of robot is generated by optimizing a certain performance index; therefore,it is globally optimal. This is essentially different from those traditional control methods,in which the reference trajectories are empirically imposed on robot. What's more,by choosing the height of the robot arm when the yoyo arrives at the bottom as the virtual control,the motion of the robot arm may not be out of its stroke limitation. The proposed approach may also be used in the control of other similar periodical dynamic systems.展开更多

It consists of a parallel spring and damper, whose coefficients change with vibration frequencies. In order to acquire these relations, the force decomposition is carried out according to some sine vibration measurement data about nonlinear forces changing with deformations of the rubber material. The nonlinear force is decomposed into a spring force and a damper force, which are represented by a frcquency-dependent spring and damper coefficient, respectively. Repeating this step for different measurements will give different coefficients corresponding to different frequencies. Then, application of a parameter identification method will provide the requested functions over frequency. Using those formulae, as an example, the dynamic character of a hollow shaft system supported by rubber rings is analyzed and the acceleration response curve in the centroid position is calculated. Comparisons with sine vibration experiments of the real system show a maximal inaccuracy of 8. 8 %. Application of this model and procedure can simplify the modeling and analysis of mechanical systems including rubber materials.展开更多

To design a controller in closed loop system structure, the idea of virtual reference feedback tuning is proposed to avoid the identification process corresponding to the plant model. After constructing one identification cost without any knowledge of plant model, the author derives one bound on the difference between the expected identification cost and its sample identification cost under the condition that the number of data points is finite. Also the correlation between the plant input and external noise is considered in the derivation of this bound. Furthermore, the author continues to derive one probability bound to quantify this difference by using some probability inequalities and control theory.展开更多
