A New Roll Eccentricity Compensation System

Adaptive eccentricity compensation

This paper is devoted to the problem of rejecting oscillatory position-dependent disturbances with unknown frequency and unknown amplitude. The considered disturbances are here assumed to be produced by eccentricity in mechanical systems and drives. Most of the previous works on eccentricity cancellation assume a time-depending oscillation, we instead assume that the oscillatory disturbance is ...

A 3D passive dynamic biped with yaw and roll compensation

Autonomous walking bipedal machines, possibly useful for rehabilitation and entertainment purposes, need a high energy efficiency, offered by the concept of ‘Passive Dynamic Walking’ (exploitation of the natural dynamics of the robot). 2D passive dynamic bipeds have been shown to be inherently stable, but in the third dimension two problematic degrees of freedom are introduced: yaw and roll. We...

A New Method for Time-Delay Compensation in Control Systems

In this paper a new method is introduced and investigated for removing the destabilizing effects of time-delay parameter in control loops. The concept of the method is taken from the knowledge concerning the dynamic behaviour of irrational transfer functions (Ir-TF), which is discussed and investigated elswhere in frequency response domain and is explained briefly here. Ir-TFs, which are we...

Online Eccentricity Monitoring of Seamless Tubes in Cross-Roll Piercing Mill

Wall-thickness eccentricity is a major dimensional deviation problem in seamless steel tube production. Although eccentricity is mainly caused by abnormal process conditions in the cross-roll piercing mill, most seamless tube plants lack the monitoring at the hot piercing stage but only inspect the quality of finished tubes using ultrasonic testing (UT) at the end of all manufacturing processes...
