This paper deals with vibration control of a small mount with MR(Magneto-Rheological) fluid as a functional fluid mount for precision equipment of automobiles. Damping and stiffness coefficients of the mount with MR fluid are changed by variations of the applied magnetic field strength. We present the robust control scheme, based on a conventional sliding mode control theory, for the design of a stable controller that is capable of vibration control due to various disturbances such as impact and periodic excitations, and is insensitive to dynamic properties of the mount. We got stable controller by using Lyapunov stability theory. The controller is then realized by using a semi-active control condition in simulations. Chattering problem of the sliding mode control is eliminated by saturation function instead of signum function. The sliding mode control with Lyapunov stability theory is superior to passive and Sky-Hook control in performance.

In this paper, a method of designing a controller which ensures the synchronization between the transmission and the reception ends of chaotic secure communication systems with interval time-varying delays is proposed. To increase communication security, the transmitted message is encrypted with the techniques of N-shift cipher and public key. And to reduce the conservatism of the stabilization criterion for error dynamic system obtained from the transmitter and receiver, a new Lyapunov-functional and bounding technique are proposed. Through a numerical example, the effectiveness of the proposed method is shown in the chaotic secure communication system.

This paper presents new results on delay-dependent global exponential stability for uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay. Based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, some novel delay-dependent stability criteria are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) involving the minimum and maximum delay bounds. By using delay-partitioning method and the lower bound lemma, less conservative results are obtained with fewer decision variables than the existing ones. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we consider the stability of linear systems with an interval time-varying delay. It is known that the adoption of decomposition of delay improves the stability result. For the interval time-delay case, they applied it to the interval of time-delay and got less conservative results. Our basic idea is to apply the general decomposition to the low limit of delay as well as interval of time-delay. Based on this idea, by using the modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and newly derived Lemma, we present a less conservative stability criterion expressed as in the form of linear matrix inequality(LMI). Finally, we show, by well-known two examples, that our result is less conservative than the recent results.

This paper studies the problem of the sampled-data control for Lur'e system with nonlinearities. The nonlinearities are expressed as convex combinations of sector and slope bounds. It is assumed that the sampling periods are arbitrarily varying but bounded. By constructing a new augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional which have an augmented quadratic form with states as well as the nonlinear function, the stabilizing sampled-data controller gains are obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness of the developed method is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

This paper considers multi-agent systems with interval time-varying delays and switching interconnection topology. By construction of a suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii's functional, new delay-dependent consensus control conditions for the systems are established in terms of LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities) which can be easily solved by various effective optimization algorithms. One numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Quantifying dynamic stability is important to assessment of falling risk or functional recovery for leg injured people. Human locomotion is complex and known to exhibit nonlinear dynamical behaviors. The purpose of this study is to quantify major joints of the body using chaos analysis during walking. Time series of the chaotic signals show how gait patterns change over time. The gait experiments were carried out for ten young males walking on a motorized treadmill. Joint motions were captured using eight video cameras, and then three dimensional kinematics of the neck and the upper and lower extremities were computed by KWON 3D motion analysis software. The correlation dimension and the largest Lyapunov exponent were calculated from the time series to quantify stabilities of the joints. This study presents a data set of nonlinear dynamic characteristics for eleven joints engaged in normal level walking.

In this work, we investigate the global stability analysis of a viral infection model with antibody immune response. The incidence rate is given by a general function of the populations of the uninfected target cells, infected cells and free viruses. The model has been incorporated with two types of intracellular distributed time delays to describe the time required for viral contacting an uninfected cell and releasing new infectious viruses. We have established a set of conditions on the general incidence rate function and determined two threshold parameters $R_0$ (the basic infection reproduction number) and $R_1$ (the antibody immune response activation number) which are sufficient to determine the global dynamics of the model. The global asymptotic stability of the equilibria of the model has been proven by using Lyapunov theory and applying LaSalle's invariance principle.

Two numerical example are included to show the effectiveness of proposed criterion.

A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
