one of the most important factors that affect tire friction is surface roughness, which determines the size of the real contact area, real pressure distribution on the contact interface, and scales of mechanical engagement between viscoelastic rubber and a rough substrate. the need to predict coefficient of friction (cof) for rubber on rough surfaces for applications such as traction of tires o...

Some people suffering from diabetes use insulin injection pumps to control the blood glucose level. Sometimes, the fault may occur in the sensor or actuator of these pumps. The main objective of this paper is controlling the blood glucose level at the desired level and fault-tolerant control of these injection pumps. To this end, the eligibility traces algorithm is combined with the sliding mod...

The paper presents some experimental results of a real-time implementation of discrete sliding mode control combined with a fuzzy-logic damper block. The hybrid real-time algorithm developed is aimed at applications to discrete systems. The sliding mode part of the solution is based on system input and output measurements. The algorithm combines an integral action, a nonlinear output feedback, ...

Because of the low maintenance and robustness induction motors have many applications in the industries. Most of these applications need fast and smart speed control system. This paper introduces a smart speed control system for induction motor using fuzzy Sliding mode controller. The fuzzy-logic with sliding mode speed controller is employed in the outer loop. The performance of Fuzzy Logic co...

When polymeric solids slide against other solids such as steel there appears to be no way to predict either the friction of the system or the wear life of the polymer from handbook data. Friction and wear vary over wide ranges when sliding speed, applied load and system temperature are varied. Neither have thermal analyses of the sliding system produced satisfying results, partly because of the...

Nonlinear control of the squirrel induction motor is designed using sliding mode theory. The developed approach leads to the design of a sliding mode controller in order to linearize the behaviour of an induction motor. The second problem described in the paper is decoupling between two physical outputs: the rotor speed and the rotor flux modulus. The sliding mode tools allow us to separate the...

In this paper a systematic fuzzy sliding mode controller is presented for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) sensorless drives. The fuzzy sliding mode controller is designed based on input–output feedback linearization control technique. The extended Kalman filter is used to estimate the speed, position and load torque. The PMSM is fed from indirect power electronics converter. This indi...

In many online applications, we need to maintain quantile statistics for a sliding window on a data stream. The sliding windows in natural form are defined as the most recent N data items. In this paper, we study the problem of estimating quantiles over other types of sliding windows. We present a uniform framework to process quantile queries for time constrained and filter based sliding window...
