Recent advances in embedded technologies and self‐sensing concrete for structural health monitoring
Abstract Fully embedded and spatially diffuse sensors are central to the advancement of civil and construction engineering. Indeed, they serve as an enabling technology necessary for addressing the current challenges associated with through‐life management and structural health monitoring of existing structures and infrastructures. The need to identify

The research proposes a variable‐speed fixed‐displacement pump control strategy combined with a fuzzy PID algorithm. A co‐simulation model is developed, key parameters are set, and comparative energy consumption analyses are conducted between the variable‐speed fixed‐displacement pump and the fixed‐speed variable‐displacement pump through simulation ...

Maglev train levitation control via tracking differentiator with small phase lag
This work proposes an enhanced tracking differentiator to ensure a small phase lag in both filtering and differential signals, The favourable characteristic is obtained by including the system damping and the amplitude factor into the control algorithm that is applied to construct the differentiator. Abstract The levitation control system is a critical

A NEW HUMAN-COMPUTER-INTERFACE FOR HIGH-SPEED-MAGLEV TRAIN TRAFFIC SUPERVISION
Abstract In modern high speed train traffic high capacity and acceptance of the transport system becomes more and more important. Human Computer Interfaces nowdays used in train traffic control are developed historically and do not fit any longer as the real traffic situation is difficult to perceive by the dispatcher.
