Original scientific paper Intelligent bionic leg (IBL) controlled by magneto-rheological (MR) damper is an advanced prosthesis. The structure of human knee joint and torque control methods of IBL knee joint are analysed. The bionic design of IBL with MR damper is introduced. The transfer function of IBL is gained by system identification and parameter tuning of PID control based on genetic algo...

In this paper, an intelligent controller to control a smart base-isolated masonry structure is proposed. The smart base isolation consists of rubber bearings and a magnetorheological damper. This semi-active scheme takes advantage of the low power requirement of magnetorheological devices to achieve structural control. The controller is capable of mapping the behaviour of the controlled structu...

Training equipment used by professional sportsmen has a great impact on their sport performance. Most universal exercisers may help only to improve the general physical condition due to the specific kinematics and peculiar resistance generated by their loading units. Training of effective techniques and learning of psychomotor skills are possible only when exercisers conform to the movements an...

In the field of Automation, Fuzzy Control Fuzzy control has significant merits which are utilized in intelligent controllers, especially for vibration control systems. This paper is concerned with the application aspects of the developed MR damper for landing gear system, to attenuate the sustained vibrations during the landing phase. Also a comparative study is made on the responses obtained f...

in this study, mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the nosrat jacket; located in persian gulf; equipped with semi active tuned mass damper (satmd) system have been derived after modeling the structure in sacs software. owing to huge number of the degrees of freedom in the model, computation of on-line control of satmd was time consuming. for this purpose, the size of the model was reduced i...
