Abstract: Presented in this paper is a feedforward fueling controller identification methodology for the transient fueling control of spark ignition (SI) engines. The hypothesis of this work is that the ...

Abstract: Presented in this paper is a multivariable linear feedback controller design methodology for idle speed control of spark-ignition engines. The engine is modeled as a multi-input, single-output ...

Abstract: Presented in this paper is a feedforward controller identification process for the transient fueling control of spark ignition (SI) engines. The objective of an SI fueling control system is to ...

Abstract: An instrumental variable algorithm is presented that estimates the coefficients of a continuous transfer function model directly from sampled data. The algorithm is based on instrumental variables ...

Abstract: A method for designing repetitive feedback controllers using nonparametric frequency response plant models is developed. In comparison to the zero-phase-error (ZPE) controller (ASME J. Dyn. Syst. ...

Abstract: Presented is the detection, isolation, and estimation of faults that occur in the intake air path of internal combustion engines during steady state operation. The proposed diagnostic approach ...

Abstract: Presented is the model based diagnostics of a three-way catalyst (TWC). The proposed TWC model relates measurable engine inputs (engine air mass (AM) and catalyst temperature) to a metric that ...

Abstract: Maximization of the fuel economy of the lean burn spark ignition (SI) engine strongly depends on precise air-fuel ratio control. A great challenge associated with the air-fuel ratio feedback ...
