In this paper, a new modeling approach is proposed for common and specific feature extraction. The original space of a mode can be separated into two different parts, namely, the common and specific ones. There are both non-Gaussian similarity and dissimilarity in the underlying correlations of different modes. After two different non-Gaussian blocks are separated, one can obtain the common and sp...

The dynamical phenomenon of cyclic variability in combustion governed by autoignition in homogeneous charge compression ignition engines with large amounts of residual gases is investigated. A novel model is derived with two states that capture the coupling between engine cycles due to the thermal energy in the recycled residual gases and the recycled chemical energy in the unburned fuel. With the... View full abstract»

We consider a class of multilink mechanical systems arising from undulatory locomotion of multisegmental slender animals. All the body joints are assumed to have actuators, but the system is underactuated because of the lack of direct control over the position and orientation within the inertial frame. Yet, the system is controllable through interactive forces from the environment, just like in an... View full abstract»

• ### Modeling and High Dynamic Compensating the Rate-Dependent Hysteresis of Piezoelectric Actuators via a Novel Modified Inverse Preisach Model

Publication Year: 2013, Page(s):1549 - 1557
Cited by:  Papers (44)
| | PDF (2517 KB) | HTML

Hysteresis of a piezoelectric actuator is rate-dependent, but most hysteresis models are based on elementary rate-independent models, which are not suitable for modeling actuator behavior across a wide range of frequencies. This paper presents a novel modified inverse Preisach model to compensate the hysteresis of a piezoelectric actuator at varying frequency ranges. The classical Preisach model f...

| | PDF (1154 KB) | HTML

The combustion mode transition between spark ignition (SI) and homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion of an internal combustion (IC) engine is challenging due to the distinct engine operating parameters over the two combustion modes and the cycle-to-cycle residue gas dynamics during the mode transition. The control problem becomes even more complicated for a multicylinder engine... View full abstract»

| | PDF (452 KB) | HTML

A new design method is presented for proportional-integral (PI) controllers of first-order plants in the presence of time delays. In general, time delays can limit and degrade the achievable performance of the controlled system, and even induce instability. Thus, the PI gains should be selected carefully considering such effects of time delays. Unlike existing methods, the design method presented ... View full abstract»

Electromagnetically driven mechanical systems are characterized by fast nonlinear dynamics that are subject to physical and performance constraints, which makes controller design a challenging problem. Although model predictive control (MPC) is well suited for dealing with constraints, the fast dynamics of electromagnetic (EM) actuators render most standard MPC approaches impractical.
