Automation of grinding of metalcastings is desirable for many reasons. The major reasons are dangerous working conditions, low productivity, and inconsistency in human operations. As an approach to the automating grinding process, a gantrydriven grinding machine is proposed to manipulate an industrial hand grinder and control the grinding force applied to the work piece. To increase the materia...

A system of a parabolic partial di erential equation coupled with ordinary di erential inclusions that arises from a closed-loop control problem for a thermodynamic process governed by the Allen-Cahn di usion reaction model is studied. A feedback law for the closed-loop control is proposed and implemented in the case of a nite number of control devices located inside the process domain basing o...

Inventory control is a fundamental activity in closed loop supply chains, particularly for remanufacturing processes. Several models have been developed in the literature where the aim is mostly to optimize cost or profit and to find the optimal order quantity for an integrated production and remanufacturing system. In this study, we explore a System Dynamics approach in order to model an inven...

This paper presents a model of an electric variable valve timing (EVVT) system and its closed-loop control design with experimental validation. The studied EVVT uses a planetary gear system to control the engine cam timing. The main motivation of utilizing the EVVT system is its fast response time and the accurate timing control capability. This is critical for the combustion mode transition co...

Microprocessor-Based Closed-Loop Motor Control A dedi~ated microprocessor control system was built from chip level using the Motorola M6800 family. The system has a keyboard and the interfaces for four LED displays, a phototransistor and a digital-to-analog converter. The system was designed to execute a closed loop motor control. The system accepts key input in RPM and drives the motor at the ...

In this paper, the methods to rapidly deploy closed-loop control systems are presented. A flexible real-time embedded platform based on reconfigurable computing technologies is established, on which control blocks consisting of optimized control algorithms are set up. By employing control blocks, a set of tools aiming to shorten the development cycle of embedded control systems are developed. C...

This paper tackles the disturbances in control operation in close-loop and its effect on the system by studding transfer function in presence and absence of disturbances. An example controlling a mechanical system is taken and the unexpected outside element effect consider here as disturbance, the close-loop feedback transfer function of the system. The model of the mechanical system is showing...

Instantaneous control is applied to the control of the instationary Navier-Stokes system. This control technique is closely related to receding horizon control and allows for an interpretation as suboptimal closed loop controller, whose parameters may be adjusted so as to stabilize the nonlinear equation under consideration. Besides stability analysis for the distributed control case numerical ...
