In this paper, a direct controller for nonlinear plants using a neural network is presented. The controller is composed of an approximate controller and a neural network auxiliary controller. The approximate controller gives the rough control and the neural network controller gives the complementary signal to further reduce the output tracking error. This method does not put too much restriction on the type of nonlinear plant to be controlled. In this method, a RBF neural network is trained and the system has a stable performance for the inputs it has been trained for. Simulation results show that it is very effective and can realize a satisfactory control of the nonlinear system.

In this paper, we design a terminal sliding mode controller based on neural network for nonlinear systems with uncertainties. Terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) method can drive the tracking errors to zero within finite time. Also, TSMC has the advantages such as improved performance, robustness, reliability and precision by contrast with classical sliding mode control. For the control of nonlinear system with uncertainties, we employ the self-recurrent wavelet neural network(SRWNN) which is used for the prediction of uncertainties. The weights of SRWNN are trained by adaptive laws based on Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, we carry out simulations to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control.

The FPSO is moored by mooring lines to keep the position of it. The nonlinear motion analysis of the moored FPSO must be carried out in the initial design stage because sea environments affect motion of it. In this paper, the mathematical model is based on the slow motion maneuvering equations in the horizontal plane considering wave, current and wind forces. The direct integration method is employed to estimate wave loads. The current forces are calculated by using mathematical model of MMG. The turret mooring forces are quasi-statically evaluated by using the catenary equation. The coefficients of a model for wind forces are calculated from Isherwood's experimental data and the variation of wind speed is estimated by wind spectrum according to the guidelines of API-RP2A. The nonlinear motions of FPSO are simulated under external forces due to wave, current, wind including mooring forces in time domain.

The estimation of the angular rate of a satellite has been discussed. A nonlinear observer has been proposed based on the state-dependent Riccati equation method. A sufficient stability condition for the convergence of estimation error has been presented. This condition is related to a state-dependent algebraic Riccati equation. It has been derived by transforming nonlinear error dynamics into a Lipschitz nonlinearity. An observer gain is obtained from this condition. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the proposed method.

This study is concerned with H$_{\infty}$ control theory of nonlinear systems. Recently H$_{\infty}$ control theory has been developed to nonlinear systems, and especially nonlinear H$_{\infty}$ control theory based on the Hamilton-Jacobi inequality has been proposed. This corresponds to linear H$_{\infty}$ control theory based on the Riccati equation. In this paper, we apply it to a semi-active dynamic vibration absorber for multi-degree-of-freedom structure, and we design its state feedback controller via the Riccati equation. In the simulation, we show that it is effective for a vibration control.rol.

In this paper, the fuzzy output-feedback controller is addressed for a discrete-time nonlinear interconnected systems with common input. The nonlinear interconnected system is represented by a T-S (Takagi-Sugeno) fuzzy model. Based on T-S fuzzy interconnected system, the fuzzy output-feedback controller is designed with common input. The stability condition of the closed-loop system is represented to the LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) form. PEMFC model is given to show the verification of the controller discussed throughout the paper.

Using the nonlinear load transfer function for pile side soil and the linear load transfer function for pile end soil, a combined approach of the incremental load transfer matrix method and the approximate differential equation solution method is presented for the nonlinear analysis of interaction between flexible pile group and soil. The proposed method provides an effective approach for the solution of the nonlinear interaction between flexible pile group under rigid platform and surrounding soil. To verify the accuracy of the proposed method, a static load test for a nine-pile group under a rigid platform is carried out. The finite element analysis is also conducted for comparison purposes. It is found that the results from the proposed method match very well with those from the experimental test and are better in comparison with the finite element method.

Modeling techniques of piled pier were reviewed and the influences of pile cap's boundary conditions were analyzed in this study. Among various modeling techniques, equivalent cantilever method seems relatively simple for modeling pile groups and it has some problems to determine the virtual fixed points. Through the analyses, it was found that the method of nonlinear p-y model with soil springs was more appropriate than equivalent cantilever method. The method modeling a pile group using stiffness matrix seems useful for practical design, which can represent the nonlinear three-dimensional behavior of a piled pier. In this study, the stiffness matrix of a pile group could be estimated efficiently and precisely using three-dimensional nonlinear analysis programs of pile groups (FBPier 3.0, YSGroup).

A three-dimensional multidirectional nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT) based on the Navier-Stokes equations and the Finite Volume Method (FVM) is developed by using the two-phase hydrodynamic flow solver naoe-FOAM-SJTU based on the open source toolbox OpenFOAM. The free surface is capturing with the Volume Of Fluids (VOF). The directional wave including Stokes wave, solitary wave and nonlinear wave are simulated and verified. The multi-directional waves are also simulated with particular wave spectral such as JONSWAP and wave directional spreading function. The obtained numerical results show the capability of the solver to generate different type of multidirectional nonlinear waves accurately. Meanwhile, it implies that the presented NWT can easily extend to model the wave-structures interactions, which will be great help to the offshore structures design.

We use the slope bounded saturation nonlinear feedback element instead of relay to find ultimate gain and period of linear plant. Saturation nonlinear element reduces the high harmonics of plant output. The reduction of high harmonics improve the accuracy of describing function method used to find ultimate gain and period. We give a simple procedure to find ultimate gain and period with saturation nonlinear element. A PID controller design method with known time delay element is also given, which is very useful when oscillation is not occurred with nonlinear element.
