This paper proposes a simple feedforward compensator in order to decrease the amount of undershoots and overshoots on the step response in nonminimum phase systems. The compensator makes the step type input be a ramp input with saturation for 0$\leq$t<${\alpha}$. It is shown in this paper that the compensated system has small amount of undershoot and overshoot at the price of rise time compared to the system without compensator. Also, provided the system is properly stable, the influence of the design parameter ${\alpha}$ on the step response of the nonminimum phase system is investigated in the case of Type A, and Type B undershoot, which gives a guideline for the compensator design.

Dynamic response of buried pipelines both in the axial and the transverse directions on concrete pipe and steel pipe, FRP pipe were investigated through a forced vibration analysis. The dynamic behavior of the buried pipelines for the forced vibration is found to exhibit two different forms, a transient response and a steady state response, depending on the time before and after the transfer of a seismic wave on the end of the buried pipeline. The former is identified by a slight change in its behavior before the sinusoidal-shaped seismic wave travels along the whole length of the pipeline whereas the latter by the complete form of a sinusoidal wave when the wave travels throughout the pipeline. The transient response becomes insignificant as the wave speed increases. From the results of the dynamic responses at the many points of the pipeline, we have found that the responses appeared to be dependent critically on the boundary end conditions. Such effects are found to be most prominent especially for the maximum values of the displacement and the strain and its position.

This paper predicts the unbalance and transient (start-up) response of a 5MW industrial gas turbine by using commercial rotordynamic tool, DYNAMICS 4.3. The gas turbine is operated at 12,975rpm on squeeze film dampers or tilting pad bearings. The stiffness and damping coefficients of the squeeze film dampers and tilting pad bearings are estimated. It is seen that the vibration amplitude of the gas turbine rotor is sufficiently small around the critical speeds and at the rated speed.

The goal of this paper is to improve the position control performance of pneumatic rotary actuator with variable brake using Magneto-Rheological Fluid. The air compressibility and the lack of damping of the pneumatic actuator bring the dynamic delay of the pressure response and cause the oscillatory motion. In this study, a variable rotary brake comprising Magneto-Rheological Fluid is equipped to the joint of a pneumatic manipulator. Experiments of step response have proved that the transient response of the manipulator could be improved compared with that of the conventional control algorithm by using a phase plane switching control algorithm.

This paper deals with the capacitive voltage divider which can measure a transient voltages generated by operating a high voltage impulse generator. The transient voltage measuring system using the capacitive electric field sensor consists of the planar-type electric field sensor having a fast response characteristic and the wide-bandwidth voltage follower, and the input impedance of which is extremely high, about $10^{12}{\Omega}$. In order to analyze the response characteristics to a step input, the newly developed calibration method is proposed, and the error of voltage dividing ratio associated with set-up condition is investigated. Also the optimal set-up condition that is to be maintained within the range of 0.5 % is taken. From the calibration experiment, the frequency bandwidth of the transient voltage measuring system whose response time to a step input is about 15.8 ns, is from 6.37 Hz to 27.3 MHz. Therefore it is possible to measure the commercial frequency voltages as well as the transient over voltages without signal distortions.

The performance characteristics of a dynamic control system are evaluated according to the transient and steady-state responses. The transient performance is the controllability of the output for the tracking of the reference or the ability to reduce or reject the effects of unwanted disturbances; alternatively, the steady-state performance is represented by the magnitude of the control error at the steady state. As the effects of the two performances on each other are reciprocal, a controller design that shows a zero steady-state error for the ramp input is uncommon because of the challenge regarding the achievement of an acceptable transient response. This paper proposes a PI+double-integral controller for the elimination of the steady-state error for the ramp input while a sound transient performance is maintained. The control-gain design procedure is described by the second-order response for the step input and the response of the error dynamics for the ramp input. The PI+double-integral controller is designed for the first-order transfer function that is derived from a system identification with the open-loop experiment data of the dc-motor. The simple structure of the proposed controller enables the adoption of a low-end microcontroller for the implementation of a real-time control. The experiment results show that the control performance is as effective as that of the simulation analysis for the operating point of linear system; furthermore, the PI+double-integral controller can be conveniently applied to the control system, which is desirable for the improvement of the steady-state error.

Based on a refined shear deformation finite strip, transient vibrations of graphene oxide powder (GOP) reinforced plates due to external pulse loads have been investigated. The plate has uniformly and linearly distributed GOPs inside material structure. Applied pulse loads have been selected as sinusoidal, linear and blast types. Such pulse loads result in transient vibrations of the GOP-reinforced plates which are not explored before. Finite strip method (FSM) has been performed for solving the equations of motion and then inverse Laplace transform technique has been employed to derive transient responses due to pulse loading. It is reported in this study that the transient responses of GOP-reinforced plates are dependent on GOP dispersions, GOP volume fraction, type of pulse loading, loading time and load locations.

An experimental investigation on transient heat transfer phenomena of impinging diesel-spray on a flat plate in a pressurized chamber is carried out. A diesel spray is injected from a single-hole nozzle and impinges to a heated flat plate in the chamber. A fast-response thermocouple installed in the top surface of the plate measures the transient variation of surface temperature of the plate under various conditions of the chamber pressures. Utilizing the semi-infinite model, the temporal variation of the heat flux on the plate is determined. Effects of various parameters, such as vertical distances between the nozzle and the plate, radial distances from the injection-axis, and the chamber pressures, on the heat flux characteristics of impinging diesel-spray are studied.

In this paper, a new current controller with fast transient response is Proposed. The basic concept is to find the optimal control voltage for tracking the reference current with minimum time under the voltage limit constraint. The generalized solution of the minimum time current control in the systems are presented in this paper. With the generalized solution, the minimum time current controller can be easily applied to all the 3-phase balanced system. Through the simulation and the experiment, it is observed that the proposed controller has much less transient time than the conventional synchronous PI regulator.

This paper describes the usefulness of new control method in HVDC link system which suffers from severe condition of weak ac system. The proposed control scheme is used for the positive feedback control which directly controlls dc current at dc link system. The object of this paper is to improve the transient response of HVDC link system in disturbances such as faults. To achieve this objective, digital time-domain simulations are employed by the Electro Magnetic Transient Program for DC system(EMTDC).
