Piezoelectric materials are widely used to construct smart or adaptive structures. Although extensive efforts have been devoted to the analysis of piezoelectric materials in recent years, most researches have been conducted by assuming that the material properties are fixed and have no uncertainties. Intrinsically, material properties have a certain amount of scatter and such uncertainties can affect the performance of component. In this paper, the convex modeling is used to consider such uncertainties in calculating the crack extension force of piezoelectric material and the results are compared with the one obtained via the Monte Carlo simulation. Numerical results show that crack extension forces increase when uncertainties considered, which indicates that such uncertainties should not be ignored for reliable lifetime prediction. Also, the results obtained by the convex modeling and the Monte Carlo simulation show good agreement, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the convex modeling.

Uncertainties are the main reasons of deterioration of contour control of industrial articulated robot arm. In this paper, a high-precision contour control method was proposed to overcome some main uncertainties, such as torque saturation, system delay dynamics, interference between robot links, friction, and so on. Firstly, each considered factor of uncertainties was introduced briefly. Then proper realizable objective trajectory generation was presented to avoid torque saturation from objective trajectory. According to the model of industrial articulated robot arm, construction of Gaussian neural network controller with considering system delay dynamic, interference between robot links and friction was explained in detail. Finally, through the experiment and simulation, the effectiveness of proposed method was verified. Furthermore, based on the results it was shown that the Gaussian neural network controller can be also adapted for the various kinds of friction and high-speed motion of industrial articulated robot arm.

Previously obtained results of L$_{2}$-gain and H$_{\infty}$ control via state feedback of nonlinear systems are extended to a class of nonlinear system with uncertainties. The required information about the uncertainties is that the uncertainties are bounded in Euclidian norm by known functions of the system state. The conditions are characterized in terms of the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equations or inequalities (HJEI). An algorithm for finding an approximate local solution of Hamilton-Jacobi equation is given. This results and algorithm are illustrated on a numerical example..

This paper deals with robust stability of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with unstructured uncertainties. A new relation between uncertainties and system poles perturbed by the uncertainties is derived from a graphical analysis. A stability criterion for LTI systems with uncertainties is proposed based on this result. The migration range of the poles in the proposed criterion is represented as the bound of uncertainties, the condition number of a system matrix, and the disc containing the poles of a given nominal system. Unlike the existing methods depending on the solutions of algebraic matrix equations, the proposed criterion provides a simpler way which does not involves algebraic matrix equations, and a more flexible root clustering approach by means of adjusting the center and the radius of the disc as well as the condition number.

To achieve high performance speed regulation, a robust adaptive speed controller is proposed for the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) subject to parameter uncertainties and input saturations in this paper. A nonlinear adaptive control is introduced to compensate the PMSM speed tracking errors due to uncertainties, disturbances and control input saturation constraints. By combining the adaptive control and the nonlinear robust control based on the interconnection and damping assignment (IDA) strategy, a new robust adaptive control is designed for speed regulation of PMSM. Stability and robustness of the closed-loop control system involved with the constrained control inputs rather than unconstrained control inputs are validated. Simulations for PMSM control in the presence of uncertainties and saturations nonlinearities show that the proposed approach is effective to regulate speed, and the average tracking error using the proposed approach is at least 32% smaller than the compared methods.

This paper presents a fuzzy finite element model for the analysis of structures in the presence of multiple uncertainties. A new methodology to evaluate the cumulative effect of multiple uncertainties on structural response is developed in the present work. This is done by modifying Muhanna's approach for handling single uncertainty. Uncertainty in load and material properties is defined by triangular membership functions with equal spread about the crisp value. Structural response is obtained in terms of fuzzy interval displacements and rotations. The results are further post-processed to obtain interval values of bending moment, shear force and axial forces. Membership functions are constructed to depict the uncertainty in structural response. Sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the relative sensitivity of displacements and forces to uncertainty in structural parameters. The present work demonstrates the effectiveness of fuzzy finite element model in establishing sharp bounds to the uncertain structural response in the presence of multiple uncertainties.

In this paper, we examine and analyze the concept of different non-integer chaotic systems with external disturbances, uncertainties, and input non-linearities. We consider both drive and response systems with external bounded disturbances and uncertainties. We also consider non-linear control inputs. For synchronization, we introduce the adaptive sliding mode technique, in which we establish the stability of the controlled system by a control which estimates uncertainties and disturbances, and then applies a suitable sliding surface to control them. We use computer simulations to established the efficacy and adeptness of the prospective scheme.

In this paper, the stability of second order uncertain systems with regulation of PID type controllers is analyzed by using Lyapunov second method for the first time in the time domain. The property of the stability of PID regulation servo systems is revealed in sense of Lyapunov, i.e., bounded stability due to the disturbances and uncertainties. By means of the results of this stability analysis, the maximum norm bound of the error from the output without variation of the uncertainties and disturbances is determined as a function of the gains of the PID control, which make it enable to analyze the effect resulted from the variations of the disturbances and uncertainties using this norm bound for given PID gains. Using the relationship of the error from the output without variation of the uncertainties and disturbances and the PID gain with maximum bounds of the disturbances and uncertainties, the robust gain design rule is suggested so that the error from the output without the variation of the disturbances and uncertainties can be guaranteed by the prescribed specifications as the advantages of this study. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm is verified through an illustrative example.

There are many uncertainties in structural failures or structures, so probabilistic failure cause assessment should be performed in order to consider the uncertainties. However, in many cases of forensic engineering, the failure cause assessments are performed by deterministic approach though number of uncertainties are existed in the failures or structures. Thus, deterministic approach may have possibility for leading to unreasonable and unrealistic failure cause assessment due to ignorance of the uncertainties. Therefore, probabilistic approach is needed to complement the shortcoming of deterministic approach and to perform the more reasonable and realistic failure cause assessment. In this study, reliability-based failure cause assessment (reliability based forensic engineering) is performed, which can incorporate uncertainties in failures and structures. For more practical application, the modified ETA technique is proposed, which automatically generates the defected structural model, performs structural analysis and reliability analysis, and calculates the failure probabilities of the failure events and the occurrence probabilities of the failure scenarios. Also, for more precise reliability analysis, uncertainties are estimated more reasonably by using bayesian approach based on the experimental laboratory testing data in forensic report.

IPCC는 국가별 온실가스 배출량이 얼마나 확실한 값인가를 보여줄 수 있는 불확도를 함께 보고하도록 규정하고 있다. 그렇지만 한국 정부는 IPCC 기본값을 그대로 적용하고 있는 수준에 불과하며, 그나마도 결측된 값들이 있어서 전체적인 불확도를 산정하지 못한 채 항목별 불확도만을 나열하고 있을 뿐이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 국가 온실가스 배출량의 85.3%를 차지하는 에너지분야를 대상으로 Tier 1 수준의 에러전파방법을 이용해서 온실가스 인벤토리의 불확도를 추정하고 있다. 분석결과 국내 에너지분야 온실가스 배출량의 불확도는 3.4%였으며, 이는 핀란드와 유사한 수치인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그렇지만 온실가스별로는 이산화탄소의 불확도가 2.7%에 불과했지만, 메탄은 116%, 아산화질소는 473%에 달할 정도로 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한국 정부가 에너지분야의 불확도를 낮추려면 이산화탄소 보다는 메탄과 아산화질소를 대상으로 활동도뿐만 아니라 배출계수의 개선이 필요하다는 정책적 함의가 제시될 수 있었다. 결론적으로는 IPCC 기본값 대신에 신뢰도 높은 한국 고유의 배출계수를 개발하는 작업이 필요함을 제안하고 있다.
