The modal controller of single-input system cannot stabilize the defective system with positive real part of repeated eigenvalues, because some of the generalized modes are uncontrollable. In order to stabilize the uncontrollable modes with positive real part of eigenvalues, the multi-input system should be introduced. This paper presents a recursive procedure for designing the feedback controller of the multi-input system with defective repeated eigenvalues. For a nearly defective system, we first transform it into a defective one, and apply the same method to manage. The proposed methods are based on the modal coordinate equations, to avoid the tedious mathematic manipulation. As an application of the presented procedure, two numerical examples are given at end of the paper.

This paper presents a robust method for autonomously landing on small bodies. Autonomous landing is accomplished by generating and following reference position and attitude profiles. The position and attitude tracking controllers are based on discrete sliding mode control, which explicitly treats the discrete and impulsive natures of thruster operation. Vision-based inertial navigation is used for autonomous navigation for landing. Numerical simulation is carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed method in a realistic situation with environmental uncertainties.

This paper deals with a design of reliable state feedback controllers for continuous time polynomial systems with actuator failures. The goal is to find an asymptotically stabilizing controller such that the closed loop system achieves the prescribed decay rate in the actuator failure cases. Based on a sum of squares (SOS) approach, a design method for reliable nonlinear controller is presented. In order to demonstrate our design method, a numerical example is shown.

This paper deals with a design of fault tolerant state feedback controllers for continuous time nonlinear time delay systems with actuator failures. The goal is to find an asymptotically stabilizing controller such that the closed loop system achieves the prescribed $H_{\infty}$ performance objective in the actuator fault cases. Based on a sum of squares (SOS) approach, a design method for $H_{\infty}$ fault tolerant controller is presented. In order to demonstrate our design method, a numerical example is provided.

Wind induced large bending oscillation amplitudes in tall and slender telecommunication steel towers may lead to precocious fatigue cracks and consequent risk of collapse of these structures, many of them installed in rural areas alongside highways and in highly populated urban areas. Varying stress amplitudes at hot spots may be attenuated by means of passive control mechanical devices installed in the tower. This paper gives an account of both mathematical-numerical model and the technique applied to design and evaluate the performance of a double controller installed in existing towers which is composed by a nonlinear pendulum and a novel type of passive controller described herein as a planar motion disk mounted on shear springs. Results of experimental measurements carried out on two slender tubular steel towers under wind action demonstrate the efficiency of the double controllers in attenuating the towers bending oscillation amplitudes and consequent stress amplitudes extending the towers fatigue life.

In this research, structural analysis was conducted by applying ANSYS commercial code in order to evaluate deflection quantitatively when each weight of tension controllers was centered and weights and moments on a controller controlling tension amounts was varied in a machinery manufacturing flexible flat cable. Based on the numerical structure analysis, stress, strain and amounts of maximum deformation were obtained and investigated structural validity and was reflected on design of the controller.

In this paper, we study a wireless cellular network design problem. It consists of selecting the location of the base station controllers and mobile service switching centres, selecting their types, designing the network into a tree-topology, and selecting the link types, while considering the location and the demand of base transceiver stations. We propose a constraint programming model and develop a heuristic combining local search and constraint programming techniques to find very good solutions in a reasonable amount of time for this category of problem. Numerical results show that our approach, on average, improves the results from the literature.

In this study, the properties of Thermally Stimulated Current is measured automatic Data Acquisition System with a A/D Converter set. The A/D Converter set is configured with DIO 8255(Intel), AMD 9513 Timer/Counter and some Programed Controllers. Especially, the numerical method of asymtotic estimation to separate single relaxation curve and physical factors related to charged particles were obtained rapidely and completely. As a result, the data obtained by automatic Acquisition System need to be corrected to average value and the whole control and inspectation system is needed.

In designing fuzzy models and controllers, we encounter a major difficulty in the identification f an optimized fuzzy rule base, which is traditionally achieved by a tedious trial-and-error process. This paper presents an approach to the evolutionary design of an optimal fuzzy rule base for modeling and control. Evolutionary programming is used to simultaneously evolve the structure and the parameter of fuzzy rule base for a given task. To check the effectiveness of the suggested approach, four numerical examples are examined. The performance of the identified fuzzy rule bases is demonstrated.

This paper presents an iterative linear matrix inequality (LMI) method for $H_2$ and $H_{\infty}$ optimal static output feedback (SOF) control, which is expressed in terms of LMIs subject to an additional rank condition. We propose a linear Penalty function to penalize the rank constraint so that static $H_2$ and $H_{\infty}$ synthesis results in solving a series of convex LMI optimization problems. Numerical experiments for various $H_2$ and $H_{\infty}$ SOF synthesis were performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
