The methodology is implemented in a specific software which automatically creates complex process dynamic models from a simple graphical interface, where system components can be dragged from a component data base and interconnected so as to produce the overall system, following the Piping and Instrumentation Diagram. Once the model has been created, the software checks its consistency and performs its structural analysis in order to automatically determine the diagnosis algorithms which should be implemented, and their fault detectability and isolability performances. The friendly graphical user interface allows to test several sensor configurations in order to optimise the diagnostic possibilities. The obtained model can also be used for the simulation of the process and its diagnosis algorithms in normal and faulty situations.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121193818","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}

In this approach, a fuzzy-based strategy is employed for the CVT shifting management. The fuzzy membership function parameters are then optimized using the genetic algorithm (GA). In this study, the optimal selection of the fuzzy control parameters is formulated as a constrained optimization problem. In addition, the objective is defined to minimize the vehicle fuel consumption and emissions while satisfying the driving performance constraints. The optimization process is performed over three different driving cycles including TEH-CAR driving cycle. TEH-CAR driving cycle is developed based on the experimental data collection from the real traffic condition. Results from computer simulation show effectiveness of the approach, resulting in reduction of fuel consumption and emissions while ensure that the vehicle performance is not sacrificed.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130205918","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}

In this research, control techniques not needing a mathematical model of the system are subject to study. Neuro-predictive (NP) method is a non-model based technique works for a wide variety of nonlinear systems, and lets us compare different systemspsila behaviour. In this paper, two different nonlinear systems, a model helicopter and a tank reactor, are controlled similarly by neuro-predictive method in simulation environment. Although tank reactor is controlled successfully by NP method, a repeated significant overshoot is observed when model helicopter is controlled (leading very long settling time and a considerable amount of energy consumption). This discrepancy in control behaviour is explained by a property of systems, called ldquocontrol inertiardquo. In this paper, control inertia is defined as the ratio of control input to the second temporal derivative of systempsilas output. It is indicated that the undesirable control behaviour of model helicopter (repeated overshoot and its consequences) is influenced by its high control inertia. In order to improve the control behaviour, a fuzzy inference system is designed and added to the control circuit to decelerate system when it is approaching setpoint. This fuzzy inference system is called ldquofuzzy brakerdquo, which improves the performance significantly in case of high inertia. Having a general understanding of systempsilas dynamics (not necessarily a mathematical model), it is possible to judge whether the system is high inertia or low inertia, and whether a fuzzy brake is needed or not. In general, the concept of control inertia can be used in intelligent control system design together with input-output data and fuzzy rules derived by experience/observation.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122772285","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}

In this paper a recursive Lyapunov function is introduced to ensure the stability around a fixed set-point using backstepping control algorithm. The BFL controller utilizes the advantage of fuzzy logic to schedule the backstepping controller parameters. This resulted in improved performance compeered with that achieved by backstepping controller alone. On the other hand, the BLMS controller is used to minimize the control efforts by finding the parameters of backstepping controller which provide minimum control efforts to the system. Finally, a comparison between Backstepping, BFL and BLMS controllers are presented. BLMS controller suffered from a slow time response while having reduced control effort when compared with the BFL controller. Combined performance of the BFL controller was superior to the backstepping or BLMS controller.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128385239","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}

It focuses on adaptive gas-spring-dampers (GSD) for passenger cars and, particularly, a novel valve for this unit. Gas-springs for passenger cars became more popular over the last fifteen years. Its main advantage is the payload-independent eigenfrequency of the body. This independency is due to a proportional increase of spring rate and spring force. However, for any given damper rate the resonance magnification rises with the payload leading to discomfort and non-optimal driving safety. An adaptive damper suppresses this dependency. The GSD comprises two chambers with compressed gas connected by a mechatronic valve modulating the air flow between those. The valve comprises a piezo ring shored up by spokes from an inner bearing. When the piezo ring is contracted, it rotates due to the (3,1)-piezoelectric effect. This rotation modulates the valve crossing section and hence controls the air flow. The actuator design involves the specification the kinematic structure as well as raw geometric data like actuator force and motion. Here, the synthetic kinematic structures, which are based on structured piezo ceramics, are tense integrity closed. A fine tuning of geometric and material parameters is performed in an iterative process.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130369294","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}

An 8-degrees-of-freedom musculoskeletal model with twenty functional muscle groups in the lower extremity was developed to simulate the movement in sagittal plane. Inverse dynamics based optimization approach was employed to estimate the excitation level of the muscles. Activation patterns of the muscles illustrate the importance role of the soleus in supporting of the body during load carrying. Also power distribution analysis of the muscles reveals that the plantar flexors of the ankle, extensors of the knee and hip joints exhibit distinct functional differences between normal walking and load carrying conditions. As a result anthropometric assistive mechanism should contain actuators providing additional extension torque in the hip and knee joints and plantar flexion torque in the ankle joint.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131611717","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 four-bar mechanism will be operated close to its fundamental natural frequency, considered to be the major contributor to the system response.
