Supporting brace sizing in structures with added linear viscous fluid dampers: A filter design solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Viscous fluid dampers have proved to be effective in suppressing unwanted vibrations in a range of engineering structures. When dampers are fitted in a structure, a brace is typically used to attach them to the main structure. The stiffness of this brace

Hierarchical Control of Nonlinear Active Four-Wheel-Steering Vehicles

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
A new type of hierarchical control is proposed for a four-wheel-steering (4WS) vehicle, in which both the sideslip angle and yaw rate feedback are used, and the saturation of the control variables (i.e., the front and rear steering angles) is considered.

Research into 2D Dynamics and Control of Small Oscillations of a Cross-Beam during Transportation by Two Overhead Cranes

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2017
A new mathematical model of a 3DOF 2D mechanical system “transported cross-beam, two moving bridge cranes” has been proposed. Small system oscillations have been derived through the introduction of Lagrange equations.

On the Nonlinear Vibrations and Stability Analysis of a Plate-Cavity System With a Nonlinear Restoring Force

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
This paper studies a nonlinear oscillation of a plate cavity system analytically. The system's nonlinear differential equations are described by a three-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) and subjected to parametric excitation forces.

Acceleration Analysis of 3DOF Parallel Manipulators

open access: yesGlobal Journal of Researches in Engineering, 2013
This paper presents a new approach to the velocity and acceleration analyses 3DOF parallel manipulators. Building on the definition of the ‘acceleration motor’, the forward and inverse velocity and acceleration equations are formulated such that the relevant analysis can be integrated under a unified framework that is based on the ...

Retrofit self-optimizing control of Tennessee Eastman process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper considers near-optimal operation of the Tennessee Eastman (TE) process by using a retrofit self-optimizing control (SOC) approach. Motivated by the factor that most chemical plants in operation have already been equipped with a workable ...

3DoF Model Helicopter with Hybrid Control

open access: yesTELKOMNIKA Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2014
Dynamics of miniature unmanned helicopter are considered nonlinear and mutually coupled; therefore designing of a stable control becomes a big challenge for researchers. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a hybrid control methodology using both traditional and intelligent control.
