Dynamic Response of a Rigital Displacement Motor Operating with Various Displacement Strategies
2019
Digital displacement technology has the potential of revolutionizing the performance of hydraulic piston pumps and motors. Instead of connecting each cylinder chamber to high and low pressure in conjunction with the shaft position, two electrically-controlled on/off valves are connected to each chamber. This allows for individual cylinder chamber control. Variable displacement can be achieved by using different displacement strategies, like for example the full stroke, partial stroke, or sequential partial stroke displacement strategy. Each displacement strategy has its transient and steady-state characteristics. This paper provides a detailed simulation analysis of the transient and steady…
A Novel Linear-Non-Linear Digital Control for DC/DC Converter with Fast Transient Response
2006
In this paper, a digitally controlled multimodule DC-DC converter with fast transient response, based on a linear-nonlinear control is presented. The proposed digital control improves the stability of the system, cuts off the effects of limit-cycle and reduces the recovery time, by making the "effective" bandwidth of the system independent of the bandwidth of the linear control loop and limits, at the same time, output voltage variations. The digital control is AVP-compatible and halves the recovery time. Preliminary hardware tests on a single phase step-down converter are reported. The experimental results match simulation ones, obtained by modelling system with Matlab/Aldec mixed environm…
Transient response in nonlinear region of molten polymers subjected to a sudden imposition of constant shear stress or constant electric field
1980
Experimental transient results in the nonlinear region are reported for a commercial polyisobutylene subjected to sudden imposition of either a constant shear stress or a constant electric field. Some steady-state results, eventually obtained in different types of experiments, are also considered. In both cases, a model analysis is presented that accounts for the nonlinear effects through changes in the free volume depending upon the applied stress. The good comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental results seems to indicate that the phenomenological approach advanced here is very promising.
INFLUENCE OF UNCERTAINTIES ON PD TUNING
2013
The aim of this work is to present a method for tuning the parameters of PD controller under the influences of the uncertainties, in order to stabilize the position of a rotor supported by active magnetic bearings (AMBs). The uncertainties are relative to mass, transverse and polar moment of inertia of the rotor. The introduction of the uncertainties is due to an incomplete modeled dynamic of the system or in the case the system being subjected to a parametric variation. The presence of the uncertainties produces a set of differences among the values of the output. Poles displacement method is used to reach the asymptotically stability condition characterized by a periodic oscillation durin…
Design and analysis of non-linear circuit with tunnel diode for hybrid control systems
2018
Electric circuits with tunnel diode's represent a classical example of dynamic systems with nonlinearities, which feature piecewise negative damping and multiple equilibria and, as consequence, nontrivial trajectories in the state-space. In this paper, we describe the experimental design and analysis of an electrical circuit, including a tunnel diode, allowing for a storage behavior with bistable output voltage states - low and high. The system is modeled for simulation and an experimental setup is designed and implemented in order to run a formal verification on different tools, applying a variety of hybrid control methods. The nonlinear diode's characteristic curve is experimentally deter…
On the Problems of Symbol-Spaced Tapped-Delay-Line Models for WSSUS Channels
2007
Article from the journal: Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing The deposited fulltext is a preprint of the definitive article at Wiley Interscience http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/wcm.683 This paper analyzes the validity and statistical behavior of symbol-spaced tapped-delay-line (SSTDL) models for wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) mobile radio channels. SSTDL models are obtained by sampling the channel impulse response (CIR) in delay domain at a rate equal to the reciprocal of the symbol duration. They were proposed more than four decades ago as canonical channel models for band-limited timevariant linear (TVL) systems, and are nowadays widely in use for assessing the…
Non-linear digital control improving transient response: Design and test on a multiphase VRM
2010
Multiphase interleaved buck converters are widely used for point of load applications, especially for VRMs. Performance optimization issue often clashes with size and cost requirements thus leading the industrial and academic research to focus on advanced solutions. This paper presents a control technique for multiphase VRMs including two interacting sections: the linear loop implements a PWM peak current mode control and the nonlinear subsystem modifies few linear loop parameters under load transients only. Steady-state performances are affected by the linear control only while dynamic performance optimization is a non-linear algorithm issue. The proposed control system improves the dynami…
Transient response of a TLP-type floating offshore wind turbine under tendon failure conditions
2021
Abstract Among various types of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs), the tension leg platform (TLP) floating wind turbines have relatively small motions due to stiff tendons. Similar to TLP applications in the offshore industry, tendon failure may lead to deteriorated stability and large transient responses, which should be considered as part of accidental limit state (ALS) checks at the design stage of the TLP FOWTs. This paper takes the WindStar TLP system as a representative and investigates the transient effects of one-tendon failure on the system responses. A coupled numerical model is first established using the aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation tool FAST. Subsequent numerical s…
A Fractional-Order Control Approach to Ramp Tracking with Memory-Efficient Implementation
2020
We investigate the fractional-order (FO) control of arbitrary order LTI systems. We show that, for ramp tracking or input disturbance rejection, it is advantageous to include an FO integrator to the open-loop if we have to increase the order of integration further than one. With the lower phase-loss of the FO integrator it is easier to guarantee a desired phase margin. Furthermore the flat phase response around the crossover-frequency (iso-damping property) can be achieved for a wider frequency range such that the closed-loop is more robust wrt. amplitude and phase margins. The drawback of the FO approach is the increased implementation effort and the algebraic decay, which slows down the t…
Composite nonlinear feedback control for path following of four-wheel independently actuated autonomous ground vehicles
2015
This paper studies the path following control problem for four-wheel independently actuated (FWIA) autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) through integrated control of active front-wheel steering (AFS) and direct yaw-moment control (DYC). A modified composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) strategy is proposed to improve the transient performance and eliminate the steady-state errors in the path following control considering the tire force saturations, in the presence of the time-varying road curvature for the desired path. The path following is achieved through vehicle lateral and yaw control, i.e., the lateral velocity and yaw rate are simultaneously controlled to track their respective desired valu…
