Static shape control for adaptive wings

Static Shape Control for Adaptive Wings

A theoretical method was developed, and experimentally validated, to control the static shape of flexible structures by employing internal translational actuators. A finite element model of the structure, without the actuators present, is employed to obtain the multiple-input, multiple-output control-system gain matrices for actuator-load control as well as actuator-displacement control. The me...

Static Synchronous Compensating Voltage Control in Power System Using Flat Adaptive Control

Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a FACTS device whose structure is based on a voltage source converter and is installed in parallel to control the voltage of the transmission line in the power system. In this paper, a flat adaptive control system for STATCOM output voltage control is simulated. By linearizing the nonlinear dynamics and changing the system state variables, the control...

Adaptive RBF network control for robot manipulators

TThe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. This paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. As a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple Gaussian Radial-Basis-Function Network as an uncertainty estimator. The proposed netw...

An Energy Based Adaptive Pushover Analysis for Nonlinear Static Procedures

Nonlinear static procedure (NSP) is a common technique to predict seismic demands on various building structures by subjecting a monotonically increasing horizontal loading (pushover) to the structure. Therefore, the pushover analysis is an important part of each NSP. Accordingly, the current paper aims at investigating the efficiencyof various algorithms of lateral load patterns applied to the...
