The most common way of imposing the motion of the driving simulator is by the 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) Stewart hexapod platform. The actuation of the platform is performed through a mechatronic device, composed by a synchronous motor, belt drive, and a screw-ball mechanism. The simulation of the driving simulator’s actuation has to validate the motion platform characteristics. Combining different software packages and taking advantage of the strength of each of them, a collaborative co-simulation environment is opening the doors for powerful virtual prototyping and testing tools. In this paper, the co-simulation environment is using three powerful simulation software packages (Simcenter Amesim, Simcenter 3D Motion and Matlab/Simulink). In this environment were established the electromechanical model of the actuators, the dynamical model of the motion platform and the control module of the permanent magnet synchronous motors. The result of the co-simulation is confirming that the imposed motion of the platform can be achieved on the driving simulator. The motion of the platform was checked with an optical tracking device by attaching a reflective marker on the platform and recording its movement.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116950909","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 designed command filter backstepping controller is verified on mathematical model within MATLAB/Simulink environment and applied to the real-time plant. The simulation results demonstrate that the main process variables have a good performance and the process control quality is satisfied. The advantage of this type of control lies in avoiding the high frequency noise introduced by the command signal derivatives into the control signal. The main concept of command filter backstepping is to use a low pass filter to remove high frequency noise.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121847301","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 method, an efficient relaxation technique is involved to reduce the conservatism that can occur while deriving a finite number of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).

The greatest issue preventing these systems from being widely used is their poor reliability. With the aim to maximise their power output, the devices are often operated close the point of yielding, which results in microcracks and fatigue in the piezoceramic layer. This paper offers a comparative review of design principles that aim to improve the reliability of piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters. Three different design principles are investigated with the focus on strain limitation. The results show that strain homogenisation, strain limitation and compressive strains can be effective design principles to increase reliability without sacrificing efficiency.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120896522","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 increasing availability of conductive inkjet inks of various compositions offer the means to print conductive patterns with relative ease in very little time. Whilst conductive inks are typically used to print conductive circuitry, the possibility of printing more modern and better performing smart materials opens the path for fully inkjet printed active devices. This offers the potential to manufacture smart materials and actuators faster, more economically, and with better repeatability than when using masking or photolithographic processes, without requiring specialized machinery or facilities. In this paper, we employ a low cost approach to manufacture 4 layer relaxor ferroelectric cantilever actuators using a commercial inkjet printer. A carbon black nanoparticle dispersion is printed onto an absorbent substrate to form a conductive bottom electrode, before a layer of P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) is applied on top as the active material. Finally an additional layer of carbon black is printed on top of the polymer to form the top electrode. The finished actuators are poled to induce piezoelectric behavior in addition to the existing electrostrictive behavior. The resultant actuators can achieve deflections of up to 206 µm under loads of 300 V, and can achieve over 3 mm deflection when operating at resonance frequencies of 110-130 Hz.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"33 22","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120978033","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}

Two multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control techniques have been applied to this system: centralized control and singular value decomposition (SVD).

One of the problems that control engineers has to face while developing network control systems is the spiky nature of the network random delays, which can be better characterized by so-called α-stable processes which are described by fractional lower-order statistics (closely linked to fractional order calculus). This paper presents an implementation example of a networked control system for the temperature control of a Peltier module platform developed by Mechatronics, Automation, and Embedded Systems Laboratory (MESALab) of the University of California, Merced. The system provides a user the possibility to remotely run a PID control algorithm executed by JavaScript code in the user’s browser, performing the real-time control of the temperature of the Peltier module. Additionally the analysis of the system communication delays is performed. Obtained results show that the communication delays fits into a α-stable probability distribution with a heavy tail, indicating a fractional order behavior which effect can influence the control system performance.","PeriodicalId":377212,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Conference on Control, Mechatronics and Automation (ICCMA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125217359","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}
