A Data-Based Approach for Modeling and Analysis of Vehicle Collision by LPV-ARMAX Models
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Applied Mathematics. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/452391 Open Access Vehicle crash test is considered to be the most direct and common approach to assess the vehicle crashworthiness. However, it suffers from the drawbacks of high experiment cost and huge time consumption. Therefore, the establishment of a mathematical model of vehicle crash which can simplify the analysis process is significantly attractive. In this paper, we present the application of LPV-ARMAX model to simulate the car-to-pole collision with different initial impact velocities. The parameters of the LPV-ARMAX are assumed to …
Omvendt undervisning i matematikk : en studie av elevers oppfatning av undervisningsmetoden
2013
Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder 2013 Many teachers want to try out different teaching methods to find the one that makes students learn best. In today's society we surround ourselves with technology most of the day and there are several teaching methods that make use of technological tools in different ways. The “flipped classroom” is one of these and this is a method that has become more and more popular around the world and now also in Norway. In short, this is a method where students get theoretical review outside the classroom by using instructional videos, while solving problems and other learning activities are carried out at school with the teacher present.…
Forskningsbasert lærerutdanning i matematikk : hva betyr forskningsbasert undervisning for GLU studentene i MA-149?
2013
Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder 2013 It is enshrined in law and regulation that all higher education should be research-based and research-oriented. How a research-based approach should be reflected in the education is not defined clearly, so there is room for interpretation that gives the institutions a certain freedom. In this study I examine how a mathematics education courses at the University of Agder is research-corrected and the consequences of that for the students. To see the significance the students believe a research-based course has, I through the study attempt to answer the following research questions: - What does mathematics education research mean…
Robust coordinated control algorithm for multiple marine vessels with external disturbances
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/597195 Open Access The problem of coordinated control for multiple marine vessels in the presence of external disturbances is considered in this paper. A robust coordinated control algorithm is proposed for multiple marine vessels. The proposed robust coordinated control algorithm is divided into two parts. The first part develops an extended state observer to estimate the disturbances of marine vessels. The second part presents a robust coordinated control algorithm based on the output of the extended state observer. Furthermore, the rob…
Seeking the Important Nodes of Complex Networks in Product R&D Team Based on Fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS
2013
Published version of article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Alo available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/327592 Open Access How to seek the important nodes of complex networks in product research and development (R&D) team is particularly important for companies engaged in creativity and innovation. The previous literature mainly uses several single indicators to assess the node importance; this paper proposes a multiple attribute decision making model to tentatively solve these problems. Firstly, choose eight indicators as the evaluation criteria, four from centralization of complex networks: degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness…
Adaptive real-time estimation on road disturbances properties considering load variation via vehicle vertical dynamics
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http:/dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/283528 Open Access Vehicle dynamics are directly dependent on tire-road contact forces and torques which are themselves dependent on the wheels' load and tire-road friction characteristics. An acquisition of the road disturbance property is essential for the enhancement of vehicle suspension control systems. This paper focuses on designing an adaptive real-time road profile estimation observer considering load variation via vehicle vertical dynamics. Firstly, a road profile estimator based on a linear Kalman filter is proposed, which has g…
Fault Detection of Networked Control Systems Based on Sliding Mode Observer
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also availeble from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/506217 Open Access This paper is concerned with the network-based fault detection problem for a class of nonlinear discrete-time networked control systems with multiple communication delays and bounded disturbances. First, a sliding mode based nonlinear discrete observer is proposed. Then the sufficient conditions of sliding motion asymptotical stability are derived by means of the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach on a designed surface. Then a discrete-time sliding-mode fault observer is designed that is capable of guaranteeing the…
Control Design for Discrete-Time Fuzzy Systems with Disturbance Inputs via Delta Operator Approach
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/724918 Open Access This paper is concerned with the problem of passive control design for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with time delay and disturbance input via delta operator approach. The discrete-time passive performance index is established in this paper for the control design problem. By constructing a new type ofLyapunov-Krasovskii function (LKF) in delta domain, and utilizing some fuzzy weighing matrices, a new passive performance condition is proposed for the system under consideration. Based on the condition, a st…
Sampled-Data Control of Spacecraft Rendezvous with Discontinuous Lyapunov Approach
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/814271 Open Access This paper investigates the sampled-data stabilization problem of spacecraft relative positional holding with improved Lyapunov function approach. The classical Clohessy-Wiltshire equation is adopted to describe the relative dynamic model. The relative position holding problem is converted into an output tracking control problem using sampling signals. A time-dependent discontinuous Lyapunov functionals approach is developed, which will lead to essentially less conservative results for the stability analysis and control…
Dynamic Output-Feedback Passivity Control for Fuzzy Systems under Variable Sampling
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/767093 Open Access This paper concerns the problem of dynamic output-feedback control for a class of nonlinear systems with nonuniform uncertain sampling via Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy control approach. The sampling is not required to be periodic, and the state variables are not required to be measurable. A new type fuzzy dynamic output-feedback sampled-data controller is constructed, and a novel time-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is chosen for fuzzy systems under variable sampling. By using Lyapunov stability theory, a sufficie…
