Abstract: We consider the dynamic response of a single-degree-of-freedom system having two-sided amplitude constraints. The model consists of a piecewise-linear oscillator subjected to nonharmonic excitation. ...

Abstract: A controller consisting of three schemes, one proportional gain, one pulse, and one ramp, is proposed to achieve precise and fast pointing control under the presence of stick-slip friction. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the studies of stick-slip friction, presliding displacement and its influence on hunting. Experimental studies reveal that presliding displacement could affect the stability of ...

Abstract: A nonlinear controller and its design method are proposed. The development of the controller is motivated by fuzzy control. The controller has the advantages of simple structure, rapid computation, ...

Abstract: A simply supported beam is controlled in a contactless manner by the attractive force of magnetic actuators that are controlled by feedback signals from displacement and velocity sensors to ...
