• ### Output tracking control of uncertain nonlinear systems with an input time delay

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):309 - 318

| |PDF (752 KB)

Control design based on input-output feedback linearisation for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with an input time delay is presented. The proposed parameterised co-ordinate transformation can transform the system model into singularly perturbed dynamics. An adjustable parameter can be tuned to satisfy a particular specification. The underlying theoretical approach is the Lyapunov stability... View full abstract»

• ### Identification of linear systems in the presence of piecewise polynomial disturbances

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):305 - 308

| |PDF (252 KB)

The paper proposes a method of performing system identification of a linear system in the presence of bounded disturbances. The disturbances may be piecewise parabolic or periodic functions. The method is demonstrated effectively on two example systems with a range of disturbances View full abstract»

• ### Neural network learning approach of intelligent multimodel controller

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):395 - 400

| |PDF (552 KB)

The authors present a novel intelligent control scheme based on an artificial neural network. The proposed controller is based on the multimodel approach to improve the system performance of a complex control system of linear or nonlinear characteristics when it operates at various operating conditions. The multimodel control scheme depends on the multiple representation of a process using differe... View full abstract»

• ### Neural network architectures for parameter estimation of dynamical systems

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):387 - 394

| |PDF (488 KB)

Various recurrent neural network architectures for solving the problems of parameter estimation in dynamical systems are presented. The architectures based on precomputation of weight/bias information (Hopfield neural network), direct gradient computation with and without normalisation and output error method are developed. A typical computer simulation result is given View full abstract»

• ### Learning systems in intelligent control: an appraisal of fuzzy, neural and genetic algorithm control applications

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):367 - 386

Learning is required when the complexity of a problem or the uncertainty thereof prevents a priori specification of a satisfactory solution. Such solutions are then only possible through accumulating information about the problem and using this information to dynamically generate an acceptable solution. Such systems can be referred to as intelligent control systems. In recent years, intelligent c... View full abstract»

• ### Design of a wire-suspended mobile robot capable of avoiding path obstacles

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):349 - 357
Cited by:  Papers (20)
| |PDF (1188 KB)

The basic structure of a wire suspended robot which walks' along an aerial wire is proposed. The design and mechanism of robot legs to walk on a wire using linkage mechanisms is described. A slider-crank mechanism is analysed kinematically and applied to the robot legs. The robot has a gait achieved with the optimum design of the linkage mechanism which enables it simultaneously to avoid obstacle... View full abstract»

• ### Convergence analysis of binary relation inference networks

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):319 - 324
| |PDF (540 KB)

Two methods for studying the consistency problems of a class of binary relation inference networks are described. One method is derived using the mathematical concepts of energy function (Et) and delta energy function (ΔEt), where both functions have closely related geometrical interpretations. By properly formulating ΔEt as matrix quadratic form, netwo... View full abstract»

• ### User-friendly design method for fuzzy logic controller

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):358 - 366

| |PDF (808 KB)

A new means for designating membership functions in a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is presented. The method allows a novice to construct a set of membership functions, called shrinking-span membership functions (SSMFs), for a specific linguistic variable systematically by using only two parameters: number of elements of the term set, and the shrinking factor for that linguistic variable. The SSMFs... View full abstract»

• ### Sliding mode control using time-varying switching gain and boundary layer for electrohydraulic position and differential pressure control

Publication Year: 1996, Page(s):325 - 332
Cited by:  Papers (30)
| |PDF (648 KB)

Traditional sliding mode control often results in a chattering control input because of its discontinuous switching control. The chattering control input has some drawbacks: easy damage of mechanism and excitation of unmodelled dynamics. Although the boundary layer method can attenuate the degree of high-frequency control input, its stability is guaranteed only outside the boundary layer, and its ... View full abstract»

• ### Loop transfer recovery for systems under sampled measurements

| |PDF (488 KB)

The paper addresses the problem of loop transfer recovery (LTR) of continuous-time systems with sampled output measurements, that is, given an ideal (desired) continuous-time linear state feedback controller, the authors seek for a dynamic output feedback controller based on sampled measurements, such that the state feedback control is best approximated in a certain sense for robustness reasons.

| |PDF (772 KB)

For a test aircraft in a wind tunnel with magnetic suspension and balance systems, a decoupling control configuration is proposed. Using the input-output decoupling technique the flight variables are controlled independently at all frequencies and for all aerodynamic and electromagnetic conditions. The decoupling controllers are static. The performance of the resulting closed-loop system is quite ... View full abstract»
