The robust control problem concerns to the control of plants that are only approximately known. Usually, it is assumed that the plant lies in a set of possible plants and this set can be quantitatively characterized. It is sought a control design that assures some kind of performance, which includes stability, for all the members of the family of candidate plants. Robust control theory usually ...

one of the most important problems of the designs proposed by traditional economic-statistical approaches of control charts is inefficiency in the face of uncertainty. uncertainty in the parameters of economic-statistical models may lead to failure in rapidly detecting changes in processes and impose greater costs to the organization. monitoring the machining process in an automotive industry e...

This article investigates a Cautious Minimum Variance (CMV) control approach for controlling industrial process variability when the model parameters are estimated from data and subject to uncertainty. CMV control has a number of advantages over traditional robust control methods. It incorporates probabilistic, as opposed to deterministic, measures of parameter uncertainty, which are more consi...

in this study, a hybrid algorithm is presented to tackle multi-variables robust design problem. the proposed algorithm comprises neural networks (nns) and co-evolution genetic algorithm (cga) in which neural networks are as a function approximation tool used to estimate a map between process variables. furthermore, in order to make a robust optimization of response variables, co-evolution algor...

in this paper robust pid control of fully-constrained cable driven parallel manipulators with elastic cables is studied in detail. in dynamic analysis, it is assumed that the dominant dynamics of cable can be approximated by linear axial spring. to develop the idea of control for cable robots with elastic cables, a robust pid control for cable driven robots with ideal rigid cables is firstly de...

This paper investigate the possibility and effectiveness of multi-mode vibration control of a plate through real-time FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) implementation. This type of embedded system offers true parallel and high throughput computation abilities. The control object is an aluminum panel, clamped to a Perspex box’s upper side. Two types of control laws are studied. The first belo...

This study has been inspired by the paper "An efficient 3D topology optimization code written in MATLAB” written by Liu and Tovar (2014) demonstrating that SIMP-based three-dimensional (3D) topology optimization of continuum structures can be implemented in 169 lines of MATLAB code. Based on the above paper, we show here that, by simple and easy-to-understand modificati...
