Our approach relies on Caputo's differintegration. Indeed, we introduce a new concept of sliding mode control based on Caputo's definition of fractional derivative. Accordingly, a novel nonlinear fractional-order sliding surface is designed. Then an appropriate control law is established on the surface. Stability of the closed-loop system is presented via rigorous analyses by means of Lyapunov direct method. An adaptation law is derived for the switching gain which allows us to ensure the stability of control system without necessity of knowing the upper bounds of uncertainties and disturbances. The proposed method is also verified by numerical simulations and is compared with conventional sliding mode control. It is shown that the proposed control algorithm outperforms conventional sliding mode by providing higher performance and smaller control input. The controller provides fulfilling performance, high robustness and chattering free control effort.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"278 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115421949","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 methods are used to control the semi-active system including skyhook and robust μ-synthesis. It is attempted to improve two performance cases via the controlled MR engine mount: to reduce the force transmitted to the chassis initiating from engine forces, and to control the relative displacement of engine mount from road excitation. Considerable improvement is achieved over the HEM by applying the MR mount.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"617 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123809803","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 an active model based fault tolerant control system in case of major actuators failure is designed for a four-tank system benchmark and is simulated with the nonlinear model using Matlab. The four-tank system is regarded as a valuable experimental setup for investigating nonlinear multivariable feedback control as well as fault diagnosis. The faults are actuator faults that are modeled as a fall in actuators (pumps) gains which could lead to a large loss in the nominal performance. The fault tolerant controller is using an online parameter estimator as an FDD subsystem and an adaptive eigenstructure assignment state feedback controller as a reconfigurable controller. Simulation results are shown and compared with a non-fault-tolerant controller. The simulation results show promising performance increase due to the designed controller.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126270052","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 least square based so-called Vector Fitting method is developed to identify parameters of a time-delayed system. The Vector Fitting (V.F.) algorithm efficiently directs evolution of parameters of a model towards their optimal values, iteratively. During each iteration poles of the model are calculated and replaced as starting poles for the next generation. The proposed algorithm is then combined with a heuristic optimization method, i.e. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to provide a hybrid technique, leading to identify delay time (r) of the system. The hybrid algorithm works in two stages; primarily the delay parameter is estimated using particle swarm optimization. The Vector fitting algorithm identifies the remaining parameters in the second stage. These two stages will be performed iteratively until the termination criterion is reached. Illustrative cases especially in presence of white noisy data are given to show the validity and the significance of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125881272","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 proposed control method retains the actual structure of composite nonlinear feedback controller in following the reference trajectory within a given accuracy and the invariance property of integral sliding mode method in rejecting disturbances and at the same time preserves the stability of the whole system.

These actuators had lots of advantages in comparison to old shock absorbers such as controllability and adaption to vibrations with variable frequencies. One major problem of MR dampers which limits their performance in high frequency vibration applications is dullness and high response time. This dullness is caused by electrical circuit and mechanical delays. In this paper a theoretical and experimental investigation has been done to reduce electrical response time of MR dampers. Different solutions for driving MR dampers have been analyzed. An extra fast method for charging and discharging MR damper is proposed in this paper. The suggested method has been tested on a prototype MR damper. The experimental results are compared with simulation results and other current control methods.

Currently industrial models of ADCS are using air bearings to make the system suspended. A prototype was designed with ball bearings and three gimbals to provide three rotational DOFs. We believe that the advantages of our method are that is cost efficiency, improved the accuracy and performance; however, the model uses a high level algorithm for friction compensation. The attitude accuracy of the system is nearly 5 degrees. The goal of this project is tracking and control of the ADCS in conditions in which the friction torque of the ball bearings in gimbals has been compensated. The controller that was implemented in this system uses a nonlinear model based on adaptive control. First, feedback linearization is used to cancel the nonlinearities which then was modified by an adaptive control using a Lyapunov function to estimate the uncertainties such as moments of inertia, eccentricity of the center of mass, and friction. The friction model includes Stribeck, viscous, and Coulumb terms. High level estimators and identifiers are used for estimation and identification of friction model parameters. Finally, the controllers were validated by simulation results.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127554439","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}
