A Comparative Study and Analysis of Semi-Active Vibration-Control Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Semi-active (SA) vibration-control systems are those which otherwise passively generated damping or spring forces are modulated according to a parameter tuning policy with only a small amount of ...
A Polynomial-Based Linear Mapping Strategy for Feedforward Compensation of Hysteresis in Piezoelectric Actuators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A set of memory-based properties is employed in this paper for modeling multiple-path hysteresis response of piezoelectric actuators. These properties, namely, targeting turning points, curve ...
Design and Dynamic Analysis of an Adjustable Inertia Absorber for Semiactive Structural Vibration Attenuation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new class of adaptive tuned vibration absorber, a variable effective inertia absorber, is presented to impart optimum vibration absorption. The tuning scheme has two facets: spectral analysis of the excitation and a ...
Coupled Flexural-Torsional Nonlinear Vibrations of Piezoelectrically Actuated Microcantilevers With Application to Friction Force Microscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of vibrations of microcantilevers has recently received considerable attention due to its application in several nanotechnological instruments, such as atomic force microscopy, nanomechanical ...
An Infinite Dimensional Distributed Base Controller for Regulation of Flexible Robot Arms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An exponentially stable variable structure controller is presented for regulation of the angular displacement of a one-link flexible robot arm, while simultaneously stabilizing vibration transient ...
A Fresh Insight Into the Microcantilever-Sample Interaction Problem in Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The atomic force microscope (AFM) system has evolved into a useful tool for direct measurements of intermolecular forces with atomic-resolution characterization that can be employed in a broad ...
A Sensitivity Study on Optimum Delayed Feedback Vibration Absorber
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A sensitivity analysis is presented for a novel tuned vibration absorber. The active tuning of the absorber is achieved using partial state feedback with a controlled time delay. The final ...
Optimum Active Vehicle Suspensions With Actuator Time Delay
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new approach to optimal control of vehicle suspension systems, incorporating actuator time delay, is presented. The inclusion of time delay provides a more realistic model for the actuators, ...
Special Issue on Dynamic Modeling, Control and Manipulation at the Nanoscale
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Most of today's emerging nanotechnological applications such as nanoelectromechanical systems require comprehensive modeling, control and manipulation of objects, components and subsystems ranging ...
