A simple and easy-to-implement method that guarantees the effective active synchronization of a chaotic gyroscopic system within a specified settling time limit is presented. A closed-form expression is given for the determination of the appropriate synchronizing control signal. The method is successfully validated through simulations for various initial conditions of the gyroscopic system.

High precision position control and high speed control of the robot manipulators are fundamental and important control problems. The effectiveness of finite-time P-PI control was confirmed by end-effector position control of robot manipulators. However, parameter tuning method has not been proposed to finite-time P-PI control. In this paper, we propose a settling time design method and a parame...

The work presented here addresses the issue of tuning PD controllers for controlling integrating plus deadtime (IPDT) processes using settling time and gain and phase margin specifications. Tuning formulae are derived for PD controller being used for controlling IPDT processes. Simulations have been carried out to determine the effectiveness of the tuning formulae. Also, comparison between prop...

To each computable enumerable (c.e.) set A with a particular enumeration {As}s∈ω, there is associated a settling function mA(x), where mA(x) is the last stage when a number less than or equal to x was enumerated into A. In [7], R.W. Robinson classified the complexity of c.e. sets into two groups of complexity based on whether or not the settling function was dominant. An extension of this idea ...

We analyze how the process of dust settling affects the spectral energy distribution and optical appearance of protoplanetary disks. Using simple analytic estimates on the one hand, and detailed 1+1-D models on the other hand, we show that, while the time scale for settling down to the equator may exceed the life time of the disk, it takes much less time for even small grains of 0.1 μm to settl...

The settling behavior and power consumption of dynamic opamps are considered. The dynamic opamp is compared with a class A opamp for di erent clock frequencies. A single pole model in a closed loop con guration is used to estimate slewing and settling behavior. SPICE simulation results agree with theoretical predictions. It is shown that for the same power consumption dynamic opamps settle much...

relates stream length (L, mi) to drainage-basin area (A, mi). In CG-6 (“Solving Problems,” May 1999), Stokes' Law was used to find the travel time for a dead foraminifer to settle to the abyssal plain. This equation, which relates settling velocity (v) of a small, spherical particle to the densities of the settling particle and fluid (ρs and ρf, respectively), the viscosity of the fluid (μ), an...

The settling dynamics of spherical and elliptical particles in a viscous Newtonian fluid are investigated numerically using a finite difference technique. The terminal velocity for spherical particles is calculated for different system sizes and the extrapolated value for an infinite system size is compared to the Oseen approximation. Special attention is given to the settling and tumbling moti...
