Abstract: Analytical details are developed for a robust adaptive control strategy that combines switching control and on-line adaptive learning, for a class of nonlinear systems. The condition for stable ...

Abstract: Algorithms are investigated for system identification and control using neural networks and validated using on-line hardware implementation. Such algorithms require very little knowledge about the ...

Abstract: A robust adaptive pressure control strategy is proposed for a novel indexing variable-displacement pump. In the proposed approach, parametric uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics are identified to ...

Abstract: A new, open-loop, reduced order model is proposed for the swash plate dynamics of an axial piston pump. The difference from previous reduced order models is the modeling of a damping mechanism ...
