Transfer of Energy and Momentum Between Magnetoactive Surface Microstructure and a Solid Object

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that magnetoactive multilamellar arrays subjected to a rotating magnetic field can function as platforms for controlled transport of physical objects. Through systematic experimental investigation, we elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms determining the upper limit of the achievable transportation speed in such magnetic “conveyor‐

Collaborative fault-tolerant control of power systems comprising synchronous generator units

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research
The inevitability of actuator faults within power systems, particularly those composed of synchronous generator units, poses a significant challenge. These faults, with the potential to induce frequency fluctuations, can lead to dynamic instability in ...

A passive fault-tolerant control strategy for a non-linear system: An application to the two tank conical non-interacting level control system

open access: yesMaskay, 2019
In practical engineering systems, unknown actuator, sensor or system component faults frequently occur, which results from component and interconnection failures, degrade control performance, system stability, and profitability, and even arise hazardous ...

Backstepping Fault-Tolerant Control for Unmanned Thrust-Vectoring Aircraft Based on Sliding-Mode Observer [PDF]

open access: yesXibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao, 2018
In this paper, a backstepping fault-tolerant control based on sliding-mode observer is proposed for the unmanned thrust-vectoring aircraft (UTVA) control. First, the UTVA model with the uncertainty, control surface damage and actuator faults is described,

3D‐Printed Serial Snap‐Through Architectures for Programmable Mechanical Response

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A serial snap‐through architecture is realized using compact 3D‐printed von Mises truss units arranged in a staged cascade. Their geometry and boundary conditions program multistage mechanical responses with plateaux and re‐hardening regimes. An inverted‐compliance model predicts these behaviors and enables analytical design of programmable force ...

Adaptive sliding mode based fault tolerant control of wheeled mobile robots

open access: yesAutomatika, 2023
In this paper, we propose an adaptive sliding mode-based fault tolerant control for mobile robots. While a mobile robot is tracking a given trajectory, several fault cases may occur, such as sensor model and controller faults, changes in the dynamic ...
