In this paper, we formulate the mathematical model for a single-stand rolling mill and design control systems for the thickness control at the exit of roll stand and for the tension control of the strip in the process. We propose a thickness controller based on the Internal Model Control structure which can be an effective application when the frequency components of the thickness deviation of the entry strip are known and, show how it can be appropriately combined with BISRA AGC method for a precise thickness control while maintaining the robustness against the modeling error of the mill modulus. It is illustrated by simulations that the proposed thickness control method gives better performance than existing methods and has the robustness against the modeling error of the mill modulus as well.

In this study, a controller for a nuclear reactor power is designed. The reactor is modeled using the three dimensional reactor design code MASTER. From the relationship of the input and output of the reactor code, a reactor dynamic model is derived by the system identification method. This model is more realistic than the one based on mathematical theories. With this model, a robust controller is designed by the extended frequency response method. As this method has the same theoretical background as the classical method, all of the existing design techniques of the classical method can be used directly. Furthermore, by introducing the real part of a Laplacian operator into the frequency response, the control design specification can be considered at the initial stage of design. The designed controller is simple, and gives a sufficient robustness with good performance.

As a disk drive becomes widely used in portable environments, one of the important requirements is durability under severe environmental condition, especially, resistance to mechanical shock. An important challenge in the disk recording is to improve disk drive robustness in shock environments. If the system comes In contact with outer shock disturbance, the system gets critical damage in head-gimbal assembly or disk. This paper describes analysis of a HGA(head-gimbal assembly) in micro MO drives to shock loading during both non-operating state and operating state. A finite element model which consists of the disk, suspension, slider and air bearing was used to find structural response of micro MO drives. In the operational case. the air bearing is approximated with four linear elastic springs. The commercially available finite element solver, ANSYS/LS-DYNA, is used to simulate the shock response of the HGA in micro MO drives. In this paper, the mechanical robustness of the suspension is simuiated considering the shock responses of the HGA.

This paper focuses on the study of the robustness of face authentication methods under illumination changes. Four different face authentication methods are tried. These methods are as follows; Principal Component Analysis, Gaussian Mixture Models, 1-Dimensional Hidden Markov Models, 2-Dimensional Hidden Markov Models. Experiment results involving an artificial illumination change to face images are compared with each others. Face feature vector extraction method based on the 2-Dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform is used. Experiments to evaluate the above four different face authentication methods are carried out on the Olivetti Research Laboratory(ORL) face database. For the pseudo 2D HMM, the best EER (Equal Error Rate) performance is observed.

A detailed finite element modeling is presented for the simulation of the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures which manages to predict the nonlinear behavior of four different experimental setups with computational efficiency, robustness and accuracy. The proposed modeling method uses 8-node hexahedral isoparametric elements for the discretization of concrete. Steel rebars may have any orientation inside the solid concrete elements allowing the simulation of longitudinal as well as transverse reinforcement. Concrete cracking is treated with the smeared crack approach, while steel reinforcement is modeled with the natural beam-column flexibility-based element that takes into consideration shear and bending stiffness. The performance of the proposed modeling is demonstrated by comparing the numerical predictions with existing experimental and numerical results in the literature as well as with those of a commercial code. The results show that the proposed refined simulation predicts accurately the nonlinear inelastic behavior of reinforced concrete structures achieving numerical robustness and computational efficiency.

The Conjugate Finite-Step Length" (CFSL) algorithm is proposed to improve the efficiency and robustness of first order reliability method (FORM) for reliability analysis of highly nonlinear problems. The conjugate FORM-based CFSL is formulated using the adaptive conjugate search direction based on the finite-step size with simple adjusting condition, gradient vector of performance function and previous iterative results including the conjugate gradient vector and converged point. The efficiency and robustness of the CFSL algorithm are compared through several nonlinear mathematical and structural/mechanical examples with the HL-RF and "Finite-Step-Length" (FSL) algorithms. Numerical results illustrated that the CFSL algorithm performs better than the HL-RF for both robust and efficient results while the CFLS is as robust as the FSL for structural reliability analysis but is more efficient.

ln this paper, the designed DVSC(Discrete Variable Structure Controller) is applied to the robust control of voltage controlled APF(Active Power Filter). The voltage controlled APF has good characteristics of reducing harmonic current and harmonic voltage simultaneously. However, voltage controlled APF with large capacitor has slow dynamic response. For improving the dynamics and robustness against to disturbances, DVSC is adopted. According to the results of experiment and simulation, it is proved that the proposed system has the performance of improving dynamic response and robustness.

This paper presents I-PD controller design using LQR method in a two-inerita motor system to satisfy the design specification in time domain. And to provide a systematic LQ analysis for two-inerita motor system. The tuning parameters of LQ(I-PD) controller are determinated by the relationships between the design parameters of the overshoot and the settling time which are design specifications in time domain, and the weighting factors Q and R in LQR we can achieve the performance-robustness in time domain as well as the stability-robustness.

We proposed a method of second-order iterative learning control with feedback, which shows an enhancement of convergence speed and robustness to the disturbances in our previous study. In this paper, we show that the proposed second-order iterative learning control algorithm with feedback is more effective and has better convergence performance than the algorithm without feedback in the case of the existence of initial condition errors. And the convergence woof of the proposed algorithm in the case of the existence of initial condition error is given in detail, and the effectiveness of the Proposed algorithm is shown by simulation results.

The conventional sliding mode control(SMC) technique requires a priori knowledge of the upperbounds of disturbances or/and modeling uncertainties to assure robustness. This, however, may not to be easy to obtain in practical situation. This paper presents a new methodology, sliding mode control with disturbance estimator(SMCDE), which offers a robust control performance without a priori knowledge about the disturbance. The proposed technique is featured by an average value of the imposed disturbance over a certain period. A nonlinear spring-mass-damper system is adopted as an illustrative example, and a comparative work between the conventional technique and the present one is undertaken.
