High precision control of the SGCMG gimbal servo system is difficult to achieve because of the existing multi-source and strong coupling disturbances. In this paper, multi-source disturbances are modeling, meanwhile, a high precision controller is designed, including a variable structure controller (VSC) and an adaptive feedforward controller (AFC). VSC guarantees steadiness and robustness of the system utilizing its characteristics of invariance and robustness, and AFC specially compensates the high frequency disturbances created by unbalance and vibration of the high speed rotor, utilizing its characteristics of adaptive close-loop regulation. Simulation results show that the proposed method attenuates the multi-source and strong coupling disturbances more efficient comparing to the existing methods, and can achieve high precision control.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114423508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This control approach aims at reducing the need of sensors for tracking a desired trajectory. By this, problems caused by collocation and additional noise in measurement signals could get reduced along with economic benefits due to lower system complexity. Control laws are designed using a passivity-based approach which requires only one sensor, i.e, for measuring actuator position. Due to the demand of information about actuator velocities in the control law, those are calculated using a velocity compensator, numerical calculation, and linear filtering. The parameters of the controller and the velocity compensator are selected based on the global asymptotic stability requirements. To compare the three methods, those are compared regarding the example of the variable torsion stiffness actuator (VTS). Using the controller with the velocity compensator shows good results in simulations and experiments. Numerical calculation achieves slightly worse results while linear filtering does not show feasible results.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128398232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although they vary in size, depending on the application, their operating principles and performance parameters are similar across generic families. Large industrial positive displacement (P.D.) pumps, primarily used in mining, oil and gas industries, deliver significant amounts of flow coupled with very high pressures. However, increasing energy costs and sustainability concerns demand systems re-design to improve their efficiency. Most established forms of PD pumps have duty cycles fixed by the movement of spring loaded valves. One approach to increase their energy efficiency could be to dynamically vary the movement of these valves. To test this hypothesis and quantify any potential benefits a computational model is required. This paper introduces modelling technique used to analytically describe a multi-cylinder positive displacement pump. A hybrid modelling approach is described which incorporates analytical relationships, the results of CFD simulation and experimental values. Results show how different valve actuation responses affect the overall flow rate of the pump. The results presented in the paper clearly indicate future development steps for improved control of positive displacement pumps.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129143063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upper limb weight-bearing orthoses have been developed to increase quality of life by enabling patients to move their arms freely. Most existing designs help patients lift their arm by compensating the gravitational force on the sagittal plane. However, the essential ADL for a patient's actual life, such as eating, drinking, scratching the face, and receiving phone calls, require motion in 3D space that is mainly performed by forearm movement. To assist forearm motion, weight should be compensated by elbow flexion/extension and shoulder medial/lateral rotation. In this study, a weight-bearing mechanism that compensates the weight in 3D space with only two zero-initial-length springs is presented. We built a 4 degree of freedom passive weight-bearing orthosis (WBO) with three rotational axes on the shoulder and one rotational axis on the elbow to mimic the natural movement of a human arm. To design the WBO, joint placement was considered, and a slider-crank mechanism was used to solve the joint misalignment problem caused by the overlapping of the joint between the WBO and the human arm. A prototype was built to verify the function of the proposed mechanism. It showed sufficient weight compensation performance to enable self-reliance in ADL by reducing the effort required to move the arm.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114237283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
