A semi-Lagrangian finite element scheme with objective time stepping algorithm for solving viscoelastic flow problem is presented. The convection terms in the momentum and constitutive equations are treated using a quasi-monotone semi-Lagrangian scheme, in which characteristic feet on a regular grid are traced backwards over a single time-step. Concerned with the generalized midpoint rule type of algorithms formulated to exactly preserve objectivity, we use the geometric transformation such as pull-back, push-forward operation. The method is applied to the 4:1 planar contraction problem for an Oldroyd B fluid for both creeping and inertial flow conditions.

This paper proposes a bidirectional platoon control law using a coupled distance error based on the backstepping-like feedback linearization control method for an interconnected mobile agent system with a string structure. Unlike the previous results where the single agent was controlled using the only own information without other agents, the proposed control law cannot show the only distance error convergence of each agent, but also the string stability of the whole system. Also, the control performances are improved by the proposed control law in spite of low performance of bidirectional control strategy in the previous results. The proposed bidirectional platoon control algorithm is based on the backstepping-like feedback linearization control method. The position errors between each agent and the preceding and the behind agents are coupled by weighted summation. By the proposed control law, the distance error of each agent can converge to zero while the string stability is guaranteed when the coupled errors can converge to zero. To this end, the back-stepping control method is employed. The pseudo velocity input is determined considering the kinematic relationship between agents and the string stability. Then, the actual dynamic control input is determined to make the actual velocity converge to the pseudo velocity input. The stability analysis and the simulation results of the proposed method are included in order to demonstrate the practical application of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a design method of speed and position estimator based on unscented Kalman filter is proposed for the no sensor control of IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). The proposed method is simple more than the estimator designed with rotation axis for current measurement. Also the proposed state estimator is designed including nonlinear terms of the estimator. The controller which constructed using nonlinear back-stepping control method is operated speed and current control using the estimated speed and currents information. Through simulation, the performance of the designed estimator is compared to the estimator which is designed to synchronize d-q axis.

This paper proposes an adaptive control algorithm for nonholonomic mobile robots with unknown parameters and the proposed control method is used in numerical simulations for applying to a practical twowheeled welding mobile robot(WMR). The proposed adaptive controller to track an arbitrary given welding path is designed by using back-stepping technique and is derived for a nonlinear model under the assumption such that the system parameters are partially known. Moreover, the proposed adaptive control system is stable in the sense of Lyapunov stability. Inertia moments of system are considered to be unknown parameters and their values can be estimated simply by using update laws proposed in an adaptive control scheme of this research. The simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the accurate tracking capability of the proposed controller for two-wheeled welding mobile robot with a smooth curved reference welding path.

This paper presents a shape design process of Claw-Poles Stepping Motor(CPSM) using Modified Magnetic Equivalent Circuit Method(MMEC). Because this motor is adopted on low power devices, the motor size is a very small type. But it have a very strong permanent magnet. So magnetic saturation effect happens on yoke teeth of CPSM. Also this magnetic saturation effect causes more leakage flux component between yoke tooth have another pole. In this motor type, it is essential to design a shape of yoke teeth for avoiding the magnetic saturation effect and the leakage flux. In this paper, MMEC including the magnetic saturation effect and the leakage flux component was used for design process. Comparing with data calculated by using the MMEC and results analyzed by 3-D FEM, it could be stated that the design process with MMEC was reasonable. Finally, the model has the optimized shape of yoke teeth was compared with a conventional model for no-load Back EMF and torque at steady-state operation.

The influence of magnetic saturation on electromagnetic field distribution in both a permanent-magnet direct-current (PMDC) motor and a field-winding (wound-field) direct-current (FWDC) motor, with the same output mechanical power, has been studied. In this paper, an approximate analytical method and time-stepping Finite Element Method (FEM) are used for prediction of Back-EMF and electromagnetic torque. No-load and rotor-lucked conditions, according to experimental measurements, and the FEM and analytical method studies of the motors have been considered. A sensitivity analysis has also been successfully accomplished on the major design parameters that affect motor performance. At last, these two DC motors are compared, in spite of their differences, on the basis of measured output characteristics.

This paper proposes a flight control system for an organic flight array(OFA) which has a new configuration to consist of multi modularized ducted-fan unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The OFA is able to apply to various missions such as indoor reconnaissance, communication relay, and radar jamming by using capability of hover flight. The OFA has a distinguished advantage due to reconfigurable structure to assemble or separate with respect to its missions or operational conditions. A dynamic modelling of the OFA is derived based on equations of motion of the single ducted-fan modules. In order to apply nonlinear control method, an affine system of attitude dynamics is derived. Moreover, the control system is composed of a back-stepping controller for attitude control and a PID controller for position control. Then the performance of the proposed controller is verified via a numerical simulation under wind disturbance.

This paper proposes a nonlinear adaptive controller based on back-stepping method for tracking reference substrate concentration by manipulating dilution rate in a continuous baker´s yeast cultivating process in stirred tank bioreactor. Control law is obtained from Lyapunov control function to ensure asymptotical stability of the system. The Haldane model for the specific growth rate depending on only substrate concentration is used in this paper. Due to the uncertainty of specific growth rate, it has been modified as a function including the unknown parameter with known bounded values. The substrate concentration in the bioreactor and feed line are measured. The deviation from the reference is observed when the external disturbance such as the change of the feed is introduced to the system ...

This paper provides an overview of the basics and recent studies of Lyapunov-based nonlinear adaptive control, the aim of which is to improve or maintain the performance and stability of the closed-loop system by cancelling out the presumable uncertainties in the nonlinear system dynamics. The design principles are essentially based on Lyapunov's direct method. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of Lyapunov-based nonlinear adaptive control techniques with simplified effective design examples, which are to be elaborated as related recent results are gradually shown. The scope of the survey contains research on singularity problems in adaptive control, the techniques to deal with linearly and nonlinearly parameterized uncertainties, robust neuro-adaptive control, and adaptive control methodologies combined with various nonlinear control techniques such as sliding-mode control, back-stepping, dynamic surface control, and optimal/$H_{\infty}$ control.

This paper proposes a comparative study of dual-airgap flux switching permanent magnet (FSPM) and spoke-type interior permanent magnet (S-IPM) machines equipped with phase-group concentrated-coil (PGCC) windings. Both of the investigated machines are the same size and material amounts which are compared at the same operating conditions. All the relevant machine performance including back electromotive force (EMF), cogging torque, and electromagnetic torque are analyzed by a 2-D time-stepping finite element method (FEM).
