Abstract: Closed-loop control systems, especially linear quadratic regulators (LQR), require feedbacks of all states. This requirement may not be feasible for those systems which have limitations due to ...

Abstract: Maneuvering a car around a handling track in minimum time is a challenging task for a driver. The car at high speed is a complex nonlinear Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output dynamic system. A ...

Abstract: Advances in microprocessor technology have enabled the application of modern control techniques and failure detection diagnostics to various processes for improved system performance. This paper ...

Abstract: In an effort to improve passenger comfort, the automotive industry is evaluating more sophisticated techniques to reduce engine excited frame vibrations. A new approach is to implement hydraulic ...

Abstract: This paper produces a three-dimensional closed loop active noise control system using modal control. A state space representation of the acoustic plant was produced and then expanded to include ...

Abstract: Extended Kalman filter technique is used to develop an observer for a nonlinear thermofluid system, namely a heat pump. The observer’s optimal gain matrix is designed based on the eigenvalue ...

Abstract: Over the past few years a study was focused on the development of bond graphs for thermofluid processes and systems using the true power variables of temperature and time rate of change of ...

Abstract: Active noise control systems currently in use and/or described in the research literature are typically based on adaptive signal processing theory or, equivalently, adaptive feedforward control ...

Abstract: Present on-line control schemes for robotic manipulators require high computing power to perform real-time estimation and adaptation and/or an exact model of the manipulator. These requirements ...
