Abstract: In this paper, track tension monitoring methodology is developed so that the track tension can be estimated under various maneuvering tasks such as longitudinal driving on sloping and/or rough ...

Abstract: The importance of monitoring the cutting force in the turning process has been well recognized in industry as well as in the open literature. This paper proposes a cutting force monitoring ...

Abstract: Because the behavior of the condition number can have highly steep and multi-modal structure, optimal control and monitoring problems based on the condition number cannot be easily solved. In ...

Abstract: Observer-based monitoring systems for machine diagnostics and control are receiving increased attention. These observer techniques can estimate process and machine variables from inexpensive, easy ...

Abstract: Model-based monitoring systems based on state observer theory are attractive for machine monitoring because practical, inexpensive, and reliable sensors can be located remote to the signal(s) of ...

Abstract: Steered vehicles on slippery roads tend to slide outward with less lateral force than on high friction roads. In this paper, an active steering control method is proposed such that the vehicles ...

Abstract: Model-based monitoring systems based on state observer theory often have poor performance with respect to accuracy, bandwidth, reliability (false alarms), and robustness. The above limitations are ...

Abstract: The wheel slip control systems are able to control the braking force more accurately and can be adapted to different vehicles more easily than conventional braking control systems. In order ...

Abstract: Track tension is closely related to the maneuverability of tracked vehicles and the durability of their tracks and suspension systems. The tension needs to be maintained at an optimum level ...
