It offers a flexible, user friendly alternative to conventional simulators, allowing design and operation analysis under a variety of operating conditions and topologies. The most general model of an electric power system consists of a set of nonlinear differential equations subject to algebraic constraints, which describes the evolution of the System, following certain contingencies. The algorithm presented adopts an object oriented approach by decomposing the system into its underlying components/devices, developed and maintained independent of one another. The differential equations are solved on the device level using a waveform representation of variables, which exploit both partitioning and parallel processing features. The ideas presented are tested on different test cases and conclusions are drawn.","PeriodicalId":297258,"journal":{"name":"1992 American Control Conference","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131443648","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}

A joint motion simulator is a computer-controlled, electromechanical system which permits the application of forces to the tendons of a human cadaver specimen in such a way that the cadaver joint under study achieves a desired motion in a physiologic manner. The proposed control scheme does not require knowledge of the cadaver specimen dynamic model, and solves on-line the so-called \"indeterminate problem\" which arises because human joints typically possess more actuators than degrees of freedom. Computer simulation results are given for an elbow/forearm system and wrist/hand system under hierarchical control, and demonstrate that any desired normal joint motion can be accurately tracked with the proposed algorithm. Additionally, these simulations indicate that the controller resolves the \"indeterminate problem\" redundancy in a physiologic manner, and show that the control scheme is robust to parameter uncertainty and to sensor noise.","PeriodicalId":297258,"journal":{"name":"1992 American Control Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127430849","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}

A reduced order approach is used to develop state equations for the non-linear finite element model of deformation processes. The influence of optimally designed process variables is studied using the variance in strain-rates and input power as performance measures. The state variables include the forging die contact nodal velocities and nodal velocities of selected elements within the billet. The control input is the ram velocity which is found using the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) theory to maintain desired strain-rates in the selected finite elements. The condensation techniques required to build the state space model and the results obtained from controlling various bulk deformation processes are discussed with examples.","PeriodicalId":297258,"journal":{"name":"1992 American Control Conference","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115807320","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}
