This paper presents a robust and speed-sensorless stator flux estimation for induction motor direct torque control. The proposed observer is based on sliding mode approach. Stator electrical equations are used in the rotor orientation reference frame to eliminate the observer dependence on rotor speed. Lyapunov's concept for systems stability is adopted to confine the observer gain. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the observer to parameter mismatch is recovered with an adaptation technique. The nonlinearities of the pulse width modulation voltage source inverter are estimated and compensated to enhance stability at low speeds. Therefore, a new method based on the model reference adaptive system is proposed. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

A novel approach based on WaveARX neural network observer is proposed far the fault detect of a class of nonlinear systems which consist of known linear part and unknown nonlinear part. A linear observer is first designed, then a nonlinear compensation term in the nonlinear observer is estimated by using a deconvolution method. The WaveARX network is used to model the obtained compensation term. At last, the residual fur fault detection is generated based on the analysis of the upper bound approximate error. Simulation results have shown the feasibility and effectiveness of the method.

This paper presents the effect of temperature on the impedance-based damage monitoring of steel-bolt connections using wireless impedance sensor nodes. In order to achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. First, a temperature-compensated damage monitoring scheme that includes a temperature compensation model and damage detection method is described. The temperature compensation model is designed by analyzing the linear regressions between the temperatures and impedance signatures. The correlation coefficient of the impedance signatures is selected as the damage index to monitor the damage occurrence in the target structures. Second, a wireless impedance sensor node is described for the design of the hardware components and embedded software. Finally, the performance of the temperature-compensated impedance-based damage monitoring scheme is evaluated for detecting a loose bolt in the steel-bolt connections on a lab-scale steel girder under various temperatures.

The assessment of machined surface is difficult because the freeform surface must be evaluated by surface fairness as well as dimensional accuracy. In this study, the machined freeform surface is modeled by interpolating the data measured on the machine tool into the mathematical continuous surface, and then the surface model is improved with the parameterization to minimize surface fairness. The accuracy reliability of the measured data is confirmed through compensation of volumetric errors of the machine tool and of probing errors. Non-uniform B-spline surface interpolation method is adopted to guarantee the continuity of surface model. Surface fairness is evaluated with the consideration of normal curvature on the interpolated surface. The validity and usefulness of the proposed method is examined through computer simulation and experiment on the machine tool.

In this paper, we propose a new control algorithm based on the neural network(NN) feedback compensation with a desired trajectory modification. The proposed algorithm decreases trajectory errors by a feed-forward desired torque combined with a neural network feedback torque component. And, to robustly control the tracking error, we modified the desired trajectory by variable structure concept smoothed by a fuzzy logic. For the numerical simulation, a 2-link robot manipulator model was assumed. To simulate the disturbance due to the modelling uncertainty. As a result of this simulation, the proposed method shows better trajectory tracking performance compared with the CTM and decreases the chattering in control inputs.

The electrodynamic loudspeakers should have a wide dynamic range to reproduce various sound levels. When the input signal is small, the radiated sound from the loudspeaker is not so much distorted. However, for large input signal with low frequency component the radiated sound is significantly distorted due to the nonlinearities of the loudspeaker. The suspension, damping, and magnetic flux of loudspeaker are the main sources of the nonlinearity. Such electromechanical parameters related to harmonic distortion have been represented by a polynomial model for diaphragm displacement, while each of the polynomial coefficient is evaluated by using the principle of harmonic balance experimentally. Based on the polynomial model, we designed a compensator for nonlinear harmonic distortion of direct radiator loudspeaker. Than observer is used to estimate the displacement of the loudspeaker diaphragm, which is rather difficult to measure directly in the conventional setting. The usefulness of the designed compensator is demonstrated by numerical simulations. Simulation results show about 30db decrease at the second and third higher harmonic distortions. We carry out an experiment on speaker to verify designed controller and nonlinear observer.

This paper deals with the method to estimate the friction in a system. We study a nonlinear friction model to estimate the friction in an inverted pendulum and approximate the friction model using fuzzy basis functions expansion. To demonstrate the friction observer using FBFs, we derive a update rule based on the error term that is formed by the output from a real system and observer output with a friction estimate. And two compensation algorithms to improve the response of an inverted pendulum are proposed. The first method that a observer parameter is updated in on-line and the friction is compensated at the same time. The second method is to compensate the friction with observer parameter estimated priori. The two methods is compared through the experimental results.

Dynamic analysis and compensation design for an asymmetrical half bridge do-dc converter are presented. A small-signal model is developed using the averaging method. Based on the proposed small-signal average model, the open loop transfer functions of the power stage were obtained and used for the compensation design. All theoretical predictions are validated by experiments on a prototype converter.

This paper suggests a methodology fur improving the machining accuracy by compensating for the machining errors based on on-machine measurement process. Probing errors and machine tool errors included in the measurement data were calibrated or compensated to obtain the actual machining errors. Machine tool errors were modeled in forward and backward directions according to the axis movement direction to consider the effects of backlash errors on the measurement data, and model parameters were determined by measuring a cube array artifact. A rectangular workpiece was machined and then measured with a touch probe as a verification experiment. Machining experiments showed that the machining errors were reduced to within the designated tolerance after compensating for the actual machining errors by modifying the original footpath for the next-step machining.

When the nonlinearities, such as friction and backlash, are not considered in the controller design, undesirable oscillations can occur in the steady-state response of a control system. This paper deals with a method to reduce oscillations that often appear in the steady-state response of a pendulum system, which is controlled by a state feedback controller based on the linearized system model. With an assumption that the oscillations shown in the steady-state are caused by the Coulomb friction, we improve the performance of stabilization and tracking by estimating and compensating for the Coulomb friction in the pendulum system. Experimental results show that the control performance can be improved sufficiently by the proposed method, when it is applied to an inverted cart pendulum which is a multi-variable unstable system. Furthermore, we could see that the Coulomb friction model used in the estimation of the friction is valid in applying the suggested method.
