Project monitoring by dynamic statistical control charts
2020
Project monitoring activities are fundamental to assure a timely identification of unacceptable project's deviations from the baseline, so that corrective actions may be taken to bring the project back in line with its objectives. Regarding this, the most used approach is the Earned Value Management (EVM) technique. However, traditional EVM metrics do not allow the Project Manager (PM) to recognize if project deviations are due to the natural project variability or to systemic and undiscovered causes that are moving the project to unacceptable out-of-controls. With this recognition, a statistical project control system based on the use of dynamic Shewhart's and CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) contro…
Observer-Based Stabilization of Stochastic Systems with Limited Communication
2012
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from Hindawi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/781542 Open Access This paper studies the problem of observer-based stabilization of stochastic nonlinear systems with limited communication. A communication channel exists between the output of the plant and the input of the dynamic controller, which is considered network-induced delays, data packet dropouts, and measurement quantization. A new stability criterion is derived for the stochastic nonlinear system by using the Lyapunov functional approach. Based on this, the design procedure of observer-based controller is presented,which ensures asy…
Study of control command of dynamic platform for driving simulation and influence on simulator sickness
2013
Simulation has been intensively involved nowadays in research and development for automotive industry. Driving simulators are one of those simulation techniques which are used to evaluate the prototypes for the vehicle dynamics and driving assistance systems. However with the driving simulator, there is a lock associated with its use. Because representing a permanent scenario as scale 1 is quite difficult. Because of that difficulty, motion/simulator sickness is an inevitably important topic to study.This thesis proposes to explore methods and tools to implement in static or dynamic simulators. In this implementation, studies of simulator sickness are conducted with objective measures (via …
Electric Field Impact On The Biomass Gasification And Combustion Dynamics
2015
Experimental investigations of the DC electric field effect on thermal decomposition of biomass, formation of the axial flow of volatiles (CO, H2, CxHy), mixing of volatiles with swirling airflow at low swirl intensity (S ≈ 0.2-0.35), their ignition and on formation of combustion dynamics are carried out with the aim to understand the mechanism of electric field influence on biomass gasification, combustion of volatiles and heat energy production. The DC electric field effect on combustion dynamics was studied by varying the positive bias voltage of the central electrode from 0.6 kV to 3 kV, whereas the ion current was limited to 2 mA. The results of experimental investigations confirm the …
