Unlike the existinggeneralized predictive control algorithms, the proposed approach divides parameters of a predictivemodel into the time invariant and time-varying ones, which are treated respectively by offline andonline identification algorithms. Therefore, both the reliability and accuracy of the predictivemodel are improved. Two simulation examples of control of a fixed bed reactor show that this newalgorithm is not only reliable and stable in the case of uncertainties and abnormal disturbances,but also adaptable to slow time varying processes.展开更多

By approximating the time-delay term of the process model with the first-order Taylor series, the expressions for IMC-PID controller parameters were derived, and they had only one adjustable parameter 2 which was directly related to the dynamic performance and robustness of the system. Moreover, an analytical approach of selecting 2 was given based on the maximum sensitivity Ms. Then, the robust tuning of the system could be achieved according to the value of Ms. In addition, the proposed method could be extended to the integrator plus time-delay (IPTD) process and the first order delay integrating (FODI) process. Simulation studies were carried out on various processes with time-delay, and the results show that the proposed method could provide a better dynamic performance of both the set-point tracking and disturbance rejection and robustness against parameters perturbation.展开更多

A two-degree-of-freedom IMC (2DOF-IMC) has been developed to overcome the weakness. However, the setting of parameter becomes a complicated matter if there is an uncertainty model. The present study proposes a new tuning method for the controller. The proposed tuning method consists of three steps. Firstly, the worst case of the model uncertainty is determined. Secondly, the parameter of set point con- troller using maximum peak (Mp) criteria is specified, and finally, the parameter of the disturbance rejection con- troller using gain margin (GM) criteria is obtained. The proposed method is denoted as Mp-GM tuning method. The effectiveness of Mp-GM tuning method has evaluated and compared with IMC-controller tuning program (IMCTUNE) as bench mark. The evaluation and comparison have been done through the simulation on a number of first order plus dead time (FOPDT) and higher order processes. The FOPDT process tested includes processes with controllability ratio in the range 0.7 to 2.5. The higher processes include second order with underdarnped and third order with nonminimum phase processes. Although the two of higher order processes are considered as difficult processes, the proposed Mp-GM tuning method are able to obtain the good controller parameter even under process uncertainties.展开更多

The design ap- proach employs a neural network, whose activation functions satisfy the sector conditions, to approximate the nonlinear system. To improve the approximation performance and to account for the parameter perturbations during operation, a novel neural network model termed standard neural network model (SNNM) is proposed. If the uncertainty is bounded, the SNNM is called an interval SNNM (ISNNM). A state-feedback control law is designed for the nonlinear system modelled by an ISNNM such that the closed-loop system is globally, robustly, and asymptotically stable. The control design equations are shown to be a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that can be easily solved by available convex optimization algorithms. An example is given to illustrate the control design procedure, and the performance of the proposed approach is compared with that of a related method reported in literature.展开更多

A plot of Ms versus λ was suggested to calculate the suitable tuning parameter λ, which provides a trade-off between performance and robustness. Six different forms of process models were selected from literature to show the applicability of the present method. Performance of controller was calculated by ITAE and total variation TV and compared with recently published tuning rules. Undesirable overshoot was removed by using a set-point weighting parameter. Robustness was tested by introducing a perturbation into the various model parameters and closed-loop results show that the designed controller is robust in the case of model uncertainty. The proposed method shows an overall better closed-loop response as compared to other recently reported methods.展开更多

The authors consider also the direct torque control (DTC) as an alternative to conventional methods of control by pulse width modulation (PWM) and by Field oriented control (FOC), so the application of the DTC based on artificial intelligence can show more advantages and simplified control algorithms with high performance. For this reason, the objectives of this paper can be divided into two parts, the first part is to apply neural networks and fuzzy logic techniques to the DTC control in the presence of a loop speed control comparing to the conventional regulators (as PI) to show the feasibility of these approaches, the second part is to further improve the performance of the neural network by using a neural-fuzzy regulator which combine the advantages of two techniques. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed techniques.展开更多

The function of electronic differential steering was realized by controlling the speed of right or left wheel and the corresponding speed difference. The control system was simulated with MATLAB/SIMUL1NK and ADAMS. It is found that the motor load torque is proportional to the tire vertical force, so the adhesive capacity is met. The electric scooter can operate stably on the slope road at a speed of more than 1.5 m/s and turn stably at yawing velocities of 10° and 90°per second.展开更多

The deadbands were respectively set up at the sensor to the controller and the controller to the actor sides in the WNCS, which were used to reduce data transmission, furthermore, to decrease the network collision and node energy consumption. Under the consideration of time-varying delays and signal transmission deadbands, the model for the WNCS was presented. A novel Lyapunov functional which took full advantages of the network factors was exploited. Meanwhile, new stability analysis and stabilization conditions for the WNCS were proposed, which described the relationship of the delay bounds, the transmission deadband bounds and the system stability. Two examples were used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The results show that the proposed approach can guarantee asymptotical stability of the system and reduce the data transmission effectively.展开更多

To determine the toxicity of seven metals, D. magna were collected and homogenized, and the fluorescence intensity of the microbeads ingested by D. magna was measured. The amount of ingestion was determined from fluorescence intensity. The fluorescence intensity was half of that of the controls which was measured as the 30 min-FI50, and these data correlated well with those from an acute immobilization method (24 h-EC50). An advantage of the method using fluorescent beads is that an estimate of the 24 h-EC50 can be obtained.展开更多

When the manipulator carries an object from a certain position to the destination, various trajectory candidates could be conskied. TO select the optimal trajectacy from the several candidates, energy, time, and the length of the tmjecttay could be utilized. In order to quantify the carrying effidency of dual-arms, DAMM has been defined and applied for the decision of the optimal path. DAMM is defined as the interaction of the manipulability ellipsoids of the dualarras, while the manipulability measure irdicates the relationship between the joint velocity and the Cartesian velocity for each ann. The cast function for achieving the optimal path is defined as the Summation of the distance to the goal and inverse of this DAMM, which aims to generate the efficient motion to the goal. It is confirmed that the optimal path planning keeps higher manipulability through the short distance path by using computer simulation. To show the effectiveness of this cooperative control algorithm experimentally, a 5-DOF dual-ann robot with distributed controllers for synchronization control has been developed and used for the experiments.展开更多

Experimental study was carried out with a temperature-control precision of 0.1℃, and 117 columnar-grained ice specimens were loaded along the direction parallel to ice surface under different test temperatures (-4, -7, -10, -13, -16℃) and strain rates ranging from 10^-6 to 10^-2 s^-1 within which the ductile region, duetile-brittle transition and brittle region are contained. The uniaxial compressive strengths, density and salinity of the ice specmens were measured. The results support the curved-surface relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and porosity within a wide range of strain rate. The curved-surface relationship gives a quantitative description about the variations of the mechanical behavior transition point with ice porosity, and supplies a uniform mathematical representation of uniaxial compressive strength under different failure modes. Besides, it is deduced that abnormal ice condition in 2009-2010 winter will not result in a change of the uniaxial compressive strength of sea ice in Bohai Sea.展开更多

On the other hand, blade tip gap, though finite, has great influence on the performance of a turbomachine. The present paper investigates the combined effect of these two factors on various flow characteristics iu'a low speed axial flow compressor. For this present study, nine computational domains were modeled; three rotor sweep configurations (0°, 20° and 30°)and for three different clearance levels for each rotor. Commercial CFD solver ANSYS CFX 11.0 is used for the simulations. Results indicated that tip chordline sweep is found to improve the stall margin of the compressor by modifying the suction surface boundary layer migration phenomenon. Diffusion Factor (DF) contours showed the severity of stalling with unswept rotor. For the swept rotors, the zones of high probable stall are less severe and they become less in size with increasing sweep. Increment in the tip gap is found to gradually affect the performance of unswept rotor, while the effect is very high for the two swept rotors for the earlier increments. As a minimum clearance is unavoidable, swept rotors suffer relatively higher deviation from the idealistic behavior than the unswept rotor due to tip clearance.展开更多
