This study investigates the effects of operating conditions on the chattering of an automotive disk brake by experimental and computational methods. Design factors, which cause chattering in automobiles, have attracted great attentions for long time; but they are not well understood yet. For this study, we construct a brake dynamometer for measuring the disk surface temperature during chattering, and propose an efficient hybrid algorithm (combining FFT-FEA and traditional FEA program) for analyzing the thermo-elastic behavior of three-dimensional brake system. We successfully measure the judder in a brake system via the dynamometer and efficiently simulate the contact pressure variation by the hybrid algorithm. The three-dimensional simulation of thermo-mechanical interactions on the automotive brake, showing the transient thermo-elastic instability phenomenon, is presented for the first time in this academic community. We also find from the experimental study that the disk bulk temperature strongly influences the brake chattering in the automotive disk brakes.

In this paper, a chattering alleviation ISM speed controller for the sinusoidal type BIDC motor is designed. Dead Zone function is proposed to change the chattering occurring in the transient state form high frequency to low frequency and time-varying gains are applied for the control input to eliminate the steady state excessive chattering in the conventional ISM. The proposed Dead Zone function represents the sliding layer composed of two switching surfaces and if a state vector exists in this layer, the chattering don’t occur. Simulation and experimental results confirm the useful effects of the above algorithm.

This paper introduces a robust sliding mode repetitive control method for a class of nonlinear system. The sliding mode controller stabilizes the overall system and makes the tracking error converge to some residual set. Also, tile repetitive learning controller makes the tracking error converge to zero. Unlike other methods, the proposed sliding mode controller reduces the chattering effects in the steady state without using high-order sliding manifold approach.

Semi-active vibration control is one of the attractive control methods for space application due to its robustness as passive damping system and much higher damping performance than passive system. However, a chattering induced by the sudden variation of damping force at the time of On-Off switching of semi-active control device degrades pointing performance of the on-board payload. In this paper, to enhance the pointing performance of the on-board payload, we proposed a semi-active vibration isolation with a strategy for attenuating chattering effect. Numerical simulation results using simplified analysis model indicated that the proposed semi-active control strategy produced much better isolation performance than the conventional Bang-Bang control semi-active control laws derived from skyhook and LQ theories.

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) is designed to reduce dynamic responses of seismically excited structures. In the conventional sliding mode control (SMC), direct implementation of switching-type control law leads to chattering phenomenon which may excite unmodeled high frequency dynamics and may cause vibration in control force. Attenuation of chattering and its harmful effects are done by using fuzzy controller to approximate discontinuous part of the sliding mode control law. In order to prevent time-consuming obtaining of membership functions and reduce complexity of the fuzzy rule bases, adaptive law based on Lyapunov function is designed. To demonstrate the performance of AFSMC method and to compare with that of SMC and fuzzy control, a linear three-story scaled building is investigated for numerical simulation based on the proposed method. The results indicate satisfactory performance of the proposed method superior to those of SMC and fuzzy control.

Marine reduction gears are usually used to increase the propulsion efficiency of propellers for ships powered by medium and small sized high speed diesel engines. Most of shaft systems adopt flexible couplings to absorb the transmitted vibratory torque from the engines to the reduction gears and to prevent the chattering phenomenon of reduction gears. However some elastic couplings show non-linear characteristics due to the variable torque transmitted from the main engines and the change of ambient temperature. In this study dynamic characteristics of flexible couplings sare investigated and their effects upon various vibratory conditions of propulsion systems are clarified. A calculation program of torsional vibration for the propulsion systems are clarified. A calculation program of Results of the program developed are compared with ones of the existing linear method and propulsion systems with the elastic couplings the transfer matrix method is adopted which is found to give satisfied results.

A ball moving on a beam is a typical nonlnear dynamic system, which is often adopted to proof test diverse control schemes. Ball and plate system is the extension of the traditional ball and beam problem that moves a metal ball on a rigid plate. In this paper, a trajectory planning and tracking problem is proposed for ball and plate system, which is to control the ball from a point to another without hitting the obstacles. Our scheme is composed of three controllers, TS type optimal path tracking controller, mandani type obstacle avoidance controller and trajectory planning controller that determines the desired trajectory. But this type of construction can give rise to chattering executions. Because the difference of contributions from concurrent controllers can cause behaviors unsmoothly. We propose fuzzy pid supervision control1er to handle this problem.

The aim of this paper is to solve the chattering and delayed response problems caused by gear backlash. In the gear mechanism based systems, for example, in robot systems, the actuators provide the reduction gear with motors to transfer effectively electric power to mechanical power. Therefore, the gear backlash exists and is an unavoidable fact which makes many undesirable problems. In this paper, the authors try to make a solution for this issue and, introduce several control methods which are PID only, PID with Smith predictor and super-twisting algorithm based SMC(sliding mode control). Each control method is applied to the real plant in which strong backlash is included. By comparison results, it is clear that SMC gives the best control performance with little backlash effects. Also, the usefulness and effectiveness of proposed control method is verified by experiment.
