However, it is not directly controllable and is affected in a complex manner by changing other process operating conditions such as screw rotation speed and set temperatures. The ability to predict such parameter would be a powerful tool to aid process design and optimisation. However, only a few practical process models are available to predict the melt pressure based on process settings in polymer extrusion. This paper describes new nonlinear static and linear dynamic models which have been developed to explore the effects of process settings and screw geometry on melt pressure development in single screw extrusion. A computationally efficient linear-in-the-parameters modelling technique was used in model development and the resultant models show satisfactory performance in predicting the melt pressure with good accuracy over a wide operating window.","PeriodicalId":210380,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Modelling, Identification and Control","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123881511","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}

The controller consists of the two controller loops namely inner loop controller to cancel out the unwanted weight transfer and outer loop controller to suppress both body vertical displacement and body roll angle using Fuzzy Logic Control. Two types of vehicle dynamics test are performed by simulation for the purposed control structure namely step steer test and double lane change test. The results of simulation show that the ARC system is able to significantly improve the dynamic performance of the vehicle compared with the passive system such as body roll angle, body roll rate, body vertical acceleration and body vertical displacement.","PeriodicalId":210380,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Modelling, Identification and Control","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122909407","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}

The stability and the arc and the quality of the resultant welds are improved. To compete with the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) of the much lower productivity in joining precision, the size of the droplet can be pre-defined and be controlled to meet the requirements from different applications. For this purpose, image processing algorithms are developed to measure the size of a growing droplet during the laser enhanced GMAW process. The relatively low contrast, strong illumination and reflection caused by the laser, and strong radiation from the arc make an automatic processing of the image challenging. Images are analyzed to understand its characteristics and design the image processing and recognition algorithms accordingly. In particular, a model based method is used to filter out non-droplet edge points and a second order equation in the polar coordinate system is introduced to model the droplet. Experimental results verified the effectiveness of the developed algorithms.","PeriodicalId":210380,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Modelling, Identification and Control","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116528458","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}

The simplest boundary conditions are presented to satisfy the stability conditions. According to these boundary conditions, a set of boundary feedback controls is deduced for a canal with arbitrary cross sections and with various control gates. Finally, a canal with several typical types of cross sections is studied.","PeriodicalId":210380,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Modelling, Identification and Control","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133155775","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}

Firstly, models of major modules of TMR were established. Next, to reveal the mechanism of disturbances applied on TMR, two kinds of representative disturbances (slope and general disturbances in yaw motion) were discussed in depth. Consequently, an attempting PID method was employed to compensate the impacts of disturbances and simulation results proved the validity for disturbance incited by slope force, but revealed the lack for general disturbance on yaw motion. Finally, a hierarchical fuzzy controller combined with PID controller was pro posed. In lower level, there were two PID controllers t o compensate the disturbance of slope force, and on top level, the fuzzy logic controller was employed to correct the yaw motion error based on the differences between the model and the real TMR, which was able to guide the TMR maintain on the stable state.
