Abstract: A structural change quantification methodology is proposed in which the magnitude and location of a structural alteration is identified experimentally in a rotor system. The resonance and antiresonance frequencies are ...

Abstract: Robust control techniques have allowed engineers to create more descriptive models by including uncertainty in the form of additive noise and plant perturbations. As a result, the complete model set is robust to any ...

Abstract: A method is presented for tool tracking in active magnetic bearing (AMB) spindle applications. The method uses control of the AMB air gap to achieve the desired tool position. The reference tracking problem is transformed ...
