It is sought to solve the inverse problem in successive positions of variable-geometry structures, avoiding the obstacles in its work environment; i.e. the computation of the increment that has to be assigned to the actuators throughout the movement of the multibody system so that it does not collide with obstacles, as one or more nodes perform a pre-established function (e.g. a certain path). The multibody systems are modelled via rod-type finite elements, both deformable and indeformable, and the coordinates of their nodes are chosen as variables. The obstacles are modelled via a mesh of points that exert repulsive forces on the nodes of the multibody, so that interference between the two is avoided. Such forces have been chosen inversely proportional to the Nth power of the distance between the corresponding points of the obstacle and of the multibody system. The method is based on a potential function and on its minimization using the Lagrange Multiplier Method. The solution of the resulting equations is undertaken iteratively with the Newton-Raphson Method. The 2D and 3D examples provided attest to the good performance of the algorithms and procedure here set forth.","PeriodicalId":90691,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Conference.

Paper manufacturing is an example in which over 90% of the water from pulp is sequentially removed through gravity, vacuum dewatering, pressing, and thermal drying. The consistency and uniformity of the moisture content at the end of process is important for paper quality. Current strategy for the control of moisture content uses a feedback sensor at the end of the process to adjust the dryers. This introduces a long deadtime and causes excessive use of the dryers, which translate to limitations in performance, robustness and inefficient energy usage. In this paper, we investigate a new control approach in which in-process moisture contents are estimated using air-flow as surrogate measurements, and the pressure settings in the multiple vacuum dewatering boxes are adjusted according to the surrogate measurements. A preemptive control algorithm is developed which has the ability to decouple and eliminate the effects of the disturbances that occur upstream in the process from downstream. Robustness analysis and simulation studies suggest that as long as the surrogate measurements are accurate, the proposed control scheme will be robust and accurate.","PeriodicalId":90691,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Conference.

Fault detection requires some kind of comparison between actual and “normal” behavior, which implies the use of models. Exact modeling of engine systems is probably impossible and even middle-complexity models are very time-consuming. In some few cases, as for on board diagnostics, the very limited amount of cases to be treated and the usually large production volumes allow to develop models suitable to detect an abnormal behavior, but, in general, however, this approach cannot be followed. As fast detection of abnormal plant operation is often critical, alternative low-effort approaches are required. This paper presents a procedure suitable for engine fault detection based on parallel automatic modeling. It is shown that this approach yields a flexible and reliable tool for automatic modeling for this goal, while keeping the effort for the operator rather low.","PeriodicalId":90691,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Conference.

The estimation is guaranteed to converge provided good knowledge of extreme scenarios is available and provided certain observability-like requirements, derived in the paper, are met. The proposed design procedure is interpreted in the light of observer design for an ‘envelope’, augmented system where the parameters to be estimated are treated as slow state variables. Illustrative numerical examples follow; Good performance is observed both for the idealized case and for the case where sensor noise is present.","PeriodicalId":90691,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Conference.
