Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers are being used increasingly because of their adaptability to control algorithms and reliability of passive systems. In this paper, an extensive investigation on performance of MR dampers in semi-active and passive modes has been carried out. It is observed that the overall energy dissipation by MR dampers in passive-on modes is higher than that in semi-active modes for most of the competitive semi-active controllers. Based on the energy dissipation pattern, a novel semi-active controller, termed as "Simple Passive Semi-Active Controller", has been proposed for MR dampers. This controller can be emulated by a simple passive hardware proposed in this paper. The proposed concept of controller "hardware emulation" is innovative and can also be implemented for other semi-active devices for control algorithms of certain form. The effectiveness and reliability of the proposed controller has been investigated extensively through numerical simulations. It has been demonstrated that the proposed controller is competitive to or more effective than other widely used / investigated semi-active controllers.

This paper present a method of using simplified models for deriving suboptimal controllers to the original higher-order systems. Routh approximation method is a very useful technique for reducing the order of a linear systems. This method dose not require a knowlege of system eigenvalues and eigenvectors and possesses many desirable features such as preservation of reduced order model stability and minimum computational requirements. These properties are utilized to derive suboptimal controllers in this paper. In order to implement htese ocntrollers on the original system, the relationship between the state vectors of the original system and the reduced order models is required. A procedure fir evaluating an approximate aggregation matrix is also developed. A numerical example is given for the illustration of this method, shich is compared with the existing Model aggregation method in the resultant figures.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is one of key features on intelligent Transportation System(ITS). In ACC, the steering is done by a driver, but the engine throttle valve and the brake are controlled electronically. The relative velocity and distance from the preceeding vehicle are measured by radars or image processing units and relevant vehicular spacing is maintained in ACC control systems. In this study, vehicle longitudinal dynamics are modeled to simulate vehicle longitudinal maneuver and to design longtitudinal controllers for ACC vehicles. The control algorithm is designed based on the modeled vehicle longitudinal dynamics using a non-linear sliding mode control method. To verity the performance of the control algorithm, a real time numerical simulation program is developed on a Silicon Graphics workstation using C-language . A real time graphic program is alos develpe and integrated with the numerical simulation program.

This paper is concerned with the problem of state feedback control of continuous-time nonlinear Markovian jump systems, which are represented by Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models. A new method for designing state feedback stabilizing controllers is presented in terms of solvability of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and it is shown that the new design method provides better or at least the same results of the existing method in the literature. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a parallel fuzzy controller for one degree of freedom magnetic levitation is designed and its performance is compared with the performance of a PID controller. Input, output scaling factor of fuzzy controller and gain of PID controller were tuned using the GA algorithm. The designed controllers are validated by numerical simulations. So it's shown that parallel fuzzy controller can give the better performance for the plant than PID controller.

A robust controller design to corrdinate a robot manipulator under unknown system parameters and bounded disturbance inputs is presented in this paper. Generally, robust controllers require high input torque so that they may face input saturation in actual application due to the power limitation of the actuator. To solve this problem, an improved robust controller with saturated input torque using a fuzzy logic control is proposed. Numerical examples are shown to validate the proposed controller using two degree-of-freedom planar arm.

This paper discusses the solution to the precise positioning control problem applied to a simple model of a dual stage or redundant positioner. The dual stage actuator presented here uses a VCM(Voice Coil Motor) as a coarse actuator and a piezoelectric actuator as a fine actuator. By adopting controllers with two-degree-of-freedom and by optimizing H$_{2}$ faster precise tracking can be realized. Experimental and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the control effects.

To prevent the stable states from the complex dynamics, the global behavior of the overall system must be considered. Thus, indirect adaptive scheme might result in needless responses. Discrete-time variable structure controllers for a well-known logistic map are designed for two deferent sliding hyperplanes. Impulse disturbances are fully rejected by tile virtue of discrete-time variable structure control(DVSC). A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectless of the DVSC.
