BIBO Stability Analysis for Delay Switched Systems with Nonlinear Perturbation
2013
Published version of a paper from the journal:Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from Hindawi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/738653 The problem of bounded-input bounded-output ( BIBO) stability is investigated for a class of delay switched systems with mixed time-varying discrete and constant neutral delays and nonlinear perturbation. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional theory, new BIBO stabilization criteria are established in terms of delay-dependent linear matrix inequalities. The numerical simulation is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results obtained in the paper.
Modeling and simulation of a High Pressure Roller Crusher for silicon carbide production
2011
Author's version of a chapter published in the book: 11th International Conference on Electrical Power Quality and Utilisation. Also available from the publisher at: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6128963&tag=1 This paper describes the modeling and simulation of High Pressure Roller Crusher (HPRC) for the production of silicon cabide grains. The study is to make a model for simulation of a High Pressure Roller Crusher. A High Pressure Roller Crusher (HPRC) is an important part in the production of silicon carbide, where the grains are crushed into powder form and then sieved into specified sizes based on its usage. This paper will present a model based on Johanson's…
Bond graph modeling and simulation of wind turbine systems
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12206-013-0435-x This paper addresses the problem of bond graph methodology as a graphical approach for the modeling of wind turbine generating systems. The purpose of this paper is to show some of the benefits the bond graph approach has, in contributing a model for wind turbine systems. We will present a nonlinear model of a wind turbine generating system, containing blade pitch, drive train, tower motion and generator. All which will be modeled by means of bond graph. We will especially focus on the drive train, and show the differ…
ean-Square Filtering for Polynomial System States Confused with Poisson Noises over Polynomial Observations
2011
Published version of an article in the journal: Modeling, Identification and Control. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4173/mic.2011.2.1 In this paper, the mean-square filtering problem for polynomial system states confused with white Poisson noises over polynomial observations is studied proceeding from the general expression for the stochastic Ito differentials of the mean-square estimate and the error variance. In contrast to the previously obtained results, the paper deals with the general case of nonlinear polynomial states and observations with white Poisson noises. As a result, the Ito differentials for the mean-square estimate and error variance corre- spon…
Adaptive H ∞ synchronization of master-slave systems with mixed time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations: An LMI approach
2011
Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Automation and Computing. Also available from the publisher on SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11633-011-0595-z This paper proposes an adaptive synchronization problem for the master and slave structure of linear systems with nonlinear perturbations and mixed time-varying delays comprising different discrete and distributed time delays. Using an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions and an adaptation law including the master-slave parameters are established for designing a delayed synchronization law in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). The time-varying…
Influence of unloading modes of spring-mass-damper models on vehicle to pole collision simulation results
2011
Author's verion of a chapter in the book: Proceedings of the 30th Chinese Control Conference. Also available from the publisher at: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=06001448 Our intention, in this brief note, is to investigate what influence the viscoelastic models' unloading properties have on models' accuracy of representing vehicle crash event. Two types of simple spring-mass-damper systems (Kelvin models) such underdamped and critically damped conditions are analyzed. Subsequently, two different unloading scenarios are specified: elastic rebound in which only the damper is an energy dissipating element and plastic collision in which the model's maximum achievable disp…
Semi-decentralized strategies in structural vibration control
2011
Published version of an article published in the journal: Modeling, Identification and Control. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4173/mic.2011.2.2 In this work, the main ideas involved in the design of overlapping and multi-overlapping controllers via the Inclusion Principle are discussed and illustrated in the context of the Structural Vibration Control of tall buildings under seismic excitation. A detailed theoretical background on the Inclusion Principle and the design of overlapping controllers is provided. Overlapping and multi-overlapping LQR controllers are designed for a simplied five-story building model. Numerical simulations are conducted to asses the pe…
Timing the US Stock Market Using Moving Averages and Momentum Rules: An Extensive Study
2017
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2017 In this thesis we investigate the performance of moving average and momentum strategies by simulating returns, both in-sample and out-of-sample, while simultaneously taking into account important market frictions. We do so for two stock indices and four stock portfolios, at daily and monthly frequency, in the period from 1928 to 2015. This is carried out in order to examine if the active strategies outperform the passive benchmark on a risk-adjusted basis, and to see if the trading rules pro table when tested in-sample also are pro table out-of-sample. In addition, and for the rst time, we examine the relevance of data…

Masteroppgave i mekatronikk MAS 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 As a step toward being more e_ective and to improve test procedures, GE Oil & Gas wants to develop a workshoptool to automate the testing of Choke Valves. The Choke Valve Workshop Tool (CVWT) main functionis to operate the Hydraulic Stepping Actuator automatically by providing controlled pressure pulses. Electricaland hydraulic equipment will have an interface allowing the test equipment to be connected and used on awide range of Choke Valves. Test results will be transferred and stored automatically based on current need. Adetailed description of the planned CVWT including a complete control system and a Human Machine Interface…
Automatic defect localization in VLSI circuits: A fusion approach based on the Dempster-Shafer theory
2017
Defect localization in Very Large Integration Cir-cuits (VLSI) requires to use multi-sensor information such aselectrical waveforms, emission microscopy images and frequencymapping in order to detect, localize and identify the failure. Eachsensor provides a specific kind of feature modeling the evidence.Thus, the defect localization in VLSI can be summarized asa problem of data fusion with heterogeneous and impreciseinformation. This study illustrates how to reproduce the humandecision for modeling and fusing the different multi-sensorfeatures by using the Demspter-Shafer theory. We propose notonly an automatic decision rule for mass functions computingbut also confidence intervals to quantif…
