Abstract: We investigate robust adaptive controller designs for interconnected systems when no exact knowledge about the structure of the nonlinear interconnections between various subsystems is available. ...

Abstract: Simplified models were widely used for analysis of peristaltic transport caused by contraction and expansion of an extensible tube. Each of these models has its own assumptions, and therefore, weakness. To get rid of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a state-averaged model and the design of nonlinear observers for an on/off pneumatic actuator. The actuator is composed of two chambers and four on/off solenoid valves. The elaborated state-averaged ...
