We present an unexampled reset integrator control design based on the Clegg integrator system. Using an appropriate mathematical model of our Clegg integrator controller, stability proof of the closed-loop system applied to the vibration control problem of a second-order system is shown without invoking hybrid system theory. Furthermore, we illustrate the applicability of our controller, from t...

in this paper, an innovative mobile platform is presented which is equipped by three new wheels. the core of the new idea is to establish a new design of rigid circular structure which can be implemented as a wheel by variable radius. the structure of wheel includes a circular pattern of a simple two-link mechanism assembled to obtain a wheel shape. each wheel has two degrees of freedom. the fi...

apart from regular wheel wear such as decreasing wheel diameters and reduced flange thicknesses and heights, wheel flats (wf) and oval wheels (or oor, out-of-roundness) are the most common wheelset problems for railway vehicles. within the fp7 research project “saferail”, apt has developed an innovative wheelset monitoring system so-called “wheel flat and out of roundness monitoring (worm) syst...
