Abstract: An adaptive control scheme is proposed for controlling a certain class of nonlinear, uncertain systems. When a local approximation of the system function using its Taylor’s expansion is possible, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a model and the associated identification procedure are proposed to precisely portray the hysteresis behavior in piezoelectric actuators. The model consists of basic physical ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a sliding control scheme to deal with the nonlinear, uncertain dynamics of magnetic bearing systems. The controller is designed based on the Thevenin equivalent of a network ...
