At first, applying Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method, sufficient condition for checking the stability of system is offered. Then, the stabilization of system is improved via dynamic state-feedback controller. In fact, the proposed condition is a criterion which results in increase of regions of stabilization for such systems. This result is in the linear matrix inequality (LMI) framework which can be solved easily by using the existing standard numerical software. Illustrative examples confirm the advantages of developed approach. In the sequel, the obtained stability and stabilization conditions will be extended to uncertain discrete time-delayed systems (UDTDS) with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"33 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131878646","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 experimental results indicate that nano-manipulations that are performed in a long time span are not very precise, and often the existence of different error sources, including the tip damage, causes these results to deviate from the intended outcome. In this article, by focusing on the phenomenon of tip damage in the automatic manipulation mechanism, a shape-feedback controller has been introduced to decrease the positioning errors. For this purpose, the tip's root mean squares (RMS) changes have been calculated to use as a criterion of deformation level of tip and particle. Presented shape-feedback controller is a simple and reliable procedure for a more accurate nano-manipulation. At the end, some comparisons are provided for RMS and positioning errors with and without shape-feedback. These comparisons show the applicability and potential of present approach as a controller in automatic nano-manipulation process. Decreasing the positioning errors from 37.77% to 17.77% is the most significant result of this paper.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"142 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":"133619835","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 motor optimization is achieved using a modified harmony search technique, though other optimization methods can also be used. The expressions of motor electromagnetic torque, speed, voltage, current, power losses, volume and cost are analytically represented as functions of motor geometric parameters. The objective function is a combination of motor power losses, volume and cost, and needs to be minimized subject to a set of electrical and mechanical requirements and limitations. Ten design parameters are considered including the number of poles, current density and the dimensions of magnet, stator, rotor, winding and air-gap. The effects of each design parameter on the brushless DC motor performance have been investigated.

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}

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.

Two methods are used to control the semi-active system including skyhook and robust μ-synthesis.

In addition, drive system state noise, channel noise, and measurement noise, are considered and the system and observer are modeled via stochastic differential equations. Stochastic stability of the drive-response system is proved through several theorems. These theorems guarantee that the mean values of the state estimation errors converge to zero as time goes to infinity. In the observer the adaptive sliding mode gains are always nonsingular even when the estimation error goes to zero.
