Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for developing a low order dynamic model of a transcritical air-conditioning system, specifically suited for multivariable controller design. An 11th-order nonlinear ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach for analyzing the performance of dropout compensation strategies for linear servo control systems operating over communication channels with losses. A loss of ...

Abstract: In this work we introduce a methodology for the design of multivariable gain-scheduled controllers for nonlinear systems and an approach for determining the local stability of a nonlinear closed ...

Abstract: This brief paper considers iterative learning control (ILC) for precision motion control (PMC) applications. This work develops a methodology to design a low pass filter, called the Q-filter, ...

Abstract: Vapor compression cycle systems using accumulators and receivers inherently operate at or near a transition point involving changes of phase at the heat exchanger outlets. This work introduces ...

Abstract: In this study we present a procedure for the design and implementation of a control strategy to optimize energy use within a light weight hydraulic hybrid passenger vehicle. The hydraulic ...

Abstract: It is well known that pore design is an important determinant of both the quantity and distribution of regenerated bone in artificial bone tissue scaffolds. A requisite feature is that scaffolds ...
