In this paper, a mathematical pressure dynamics model for a variable thrust solid propulsion system with an electric actuator was derived from the mass conservation of gas. To solve the problem induced by modeling uncertainties in the propellant model and the dead zone of the actuator, a nonlinear pressure controller combined with a nonlinear disturbance observer was designed using a mathematical model of the system. The simulation results showed that the proposed pressure controller could reduce tracking errors compared to another conventional nonlinear controller even in situations where input disturbances were present.

Nonlinear adaptive control for the laboratory pressure-flow model. Control valves are installed on both sides. The pressure and the outlet flow rate are measured. The pressure and outlet flow rate are controlled variables and the control valve stem positions on both sides are the manipulated variables. The variation in both inputs will influence both controlled variables. The control performance is good, in spite of varying valve coefficients of inlet and outlet.

In this paper, the observer based nonlinear state feedback controller has been developed to control the pressures of the oxygen and the hydrogen in the PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell system. Nonlinear model of the PEM fuel cell system was introduced to study the design problems of the state observer and model based controller. A cascade observer using the filtering technique was used to estimate the pressure derivatives of the cathode and the anode in the system. In order to estimate the pressures of the cathode and the anode, the sliding mode observer was designed by using these pressure derivatives. To estimate the oxygen pressure and the hydrogen pressure in the system, the nonlinear state observer was designed by using the cathode pressure estimates and the anode it. These results will be very useful to design the state feedback controller. The validity of the proposed observers and the controller has been investigated by using the Lyapunov's stability analysis strategy.

Ultrasonic nonlinearity has been considered as a promising method to evaluate the micro damage of material; however, its magnitude is so small that its measurement is not easy. Especially, when we use contact PZT transducer, if the contacting pressure is not kept in constant during the measurement then there exists extraneous fluctuation in the measured nonlinearity caused by the unstable contact condition, In this paper, we developed a pneumatic control system to keep the contacting pressure of transducer in constant during the measurement and analyzed the effect of contacting pressure to the ultrasonic nonlinearity measurement As a result, we found that the pressure of transducer in our measurement system should be greater than 170 kPa to measure the ultrasonic nonlinear parameter in stable with no dependency on the contacting pressure.

A nonlinear pressure controller to actively regulate the thrust of a solid propulsion system is presented. To compensate for the parametric uncertainties with respect to the chamber pressure induced by changing nozzle throat area, Lyapunov-based parameter adaptation method has been applied. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method, the experiments were carried out using the cold gas test equipment that can simulate the operating environment of variable thrust solid propulsion system. The experiment results show that the nonlinear pressure controller has better performance than conventional P and PI controller.

In this study, digital simulation with nonlinear modeling is carried out to analyse the performance of a hydraulic servomotor system developed for the position control of a large inertia. Nonlinear element, such as nonlinear pressure flow relationships of servovalve, valve spool limits, nonlinear friction, and backlash and resilience of gear system are included in the simulation along with the dynamic characteristics of variable delivery pump compensation mechanism. Simulation results are compared with experimental results for both step and sinusoidal inputs. Independent of input magnitude, both results are in good agreement with minor differences in detail.

If hydraulic pump controlled by mechanical type regulator has more than one control function, the construction of regulator will be very complicated and control performance falls drastically. It is difficult to have more than one control function for hydraulic pump controlled by electronic type hydraulic valve due to the inconsistency of controllers. This paper proposes a multi-function control technique which controls continuously flow, pressure and power by using EPPR(Electronic Proportional Pressure Reducing) valve in swash plate type axial piston pump. Nonlinear mathematical model is developed from the continuity equation for the pressurized control volume and the torque balance for the swash plate motion. To simplify the model we make the linear state equation by differentiating the nonlinear model. A reaction spring is installed in servo cylinder to secure the stability of the control system. We analyze the stability and disturbance by using the state variable model. Finally, we review the control performances of flow, pressure and power by tests using PID controller.

A vehicle suspension system performs two functions, the ride quality and the stability, which conflict with each other. Among the various suspension systems, an active suspension system has an external energy source, from which energy is always supplied to the system for continuous control of vehicle motion. In the process of the linearization for the nonlinear active suspension system, the frequency dependent damping method is used for the exact modelling to the real model. The pressure control valve which is controlled by proportional solenoid is the most important component in the active suspension system. The pressure control valve has the dynamic characteristics with 1st order delay. Therefore, It's necessary to adopt the lead compensator to compensate the dynamics of the pressure control valve. The sampling time is also important factor for the control performances. The sampling time value is proposed to satisfy the system performances. After the modelling and simulation for the pressure control valve and vehicle dynamic, the performances of the vehicle ride quality and the stability are enhanced.

To overcome the drawbacks of conventional load-control method and displacement-control method, the so-called volume-control method was developed by utilizing a pressure node added into a layered shell element. The pressure node has an increment of pressure as an additional degree of freedom of the shell element. In this study, the hollow RC columns are discretized with multi-layered shell elements and a modeling technique utilizing the volume-control analysis for various hollow RC column structures is introduced. The results of the nonlinear analysis using the modeling for hollow RC columns subjected to lateral reversed cyclic loading as well as lateral loading under compression are shown. Validity of the modeling technique is also verified by comparing the analysis results with experimental results and other analysis data.

The valve is a three port pressure regulator valve, consists of two subsystems; a proportional solenoid and a spool assembly. A purpose of this study is to analysis the dynamic characteristics of the valve using bondgraph method and to verified results that each of parameters has an effect on modeling. It considered the effect which the presence of solenoid, flow coefficient and non-linearity of resistance causes in the valve modeling. In particular, it is analyzed the effect that the solenoid interacted with modeling results and characteristics of the nonlinear resistance through orifice on the supply and discharge side of valve. Thus this paper described method to present nonlinear characteristics by bondgraph modeling method, so that we could know easily result that each parameters has an effect on the modeling.
