Consensus Based Platoon Algorithm for Velocity-Measurement-Absent Vehicles with Actuator Saturation
Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2017 We investigate the vehicle platoon problems, where the actuator saturation and absent velocity measurement are taken into consideration. Firstly, a novel algorithm, where a smooth function is introduced to deal with the sharp corner of the input signals,

Integrated Adaptive Steering Stability Control for Ground Vehicle with Actuator Saturations
Applied Sciences, 2022 During a steering manoeuvre in a ground vehicle, both yaw motion and roll motion can occur simultaneously, and their dynamics can be coupled, as the roll motion is generalized directly from the tires’ lateral force under steering.

Continuous phase amplification with a Sagnac interferometer [PDF]
, 2009 We describe a weak value inspired phase amplification technique in a Sagnac interferometer. We monitor the relative phase between two paths of a slightly misaligned interferometer by measuring the average position of a split-Gaussian mode in the dark ...

Flight control system design with rate saturating actuators [PDF]
21st Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference, 1996 Actuator rate saturation is an important factor adversely affecting the stability and performance of aircraft flight control systems. It has been identified as a catalyst in pilot-induced oscillations, some of which have been catastrophic. A simple design technique is described that utilizes software rate limiters to improve the performance of control ...

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