this paper proposes an approach for the minimum time swing upof a rotary inverted pendulum. our rotary inverted pendulum is supported bya pivot arm. the pivot arm rotates in a horizontal plane by means of a servomotor. the opposite end of the arm is instrumented with a joint whose axisis along the radial direction of the motor. a pendulum is suspended at thejoint. the task is to design a contro...

The dual flatness for Riemannian metrics in information geometry has been extended to Finsler metrics. The aim of this paper is to study the dual flatness of the so-called (α, β)-metrics in Finsler geometry. By doing some special deformations, we will show that the dual flatness of an (α, β)-metric always arises from that of some Riemannian metric in dimensional n ≥ 3.

In this paper, an intelligent control strategy based on combination of the “flatness based control technique” and the “perturbation and observation (P&O) MPPT algorithm” is developed and investigated to control a hybrid electric energy source (HEPS). This EHPS is composed of a fuel cell system (FC) and a solar panel (SP), as the main source and a supercapacitor bank (SC), as the auxiliary sourc...

in this paper, a novel approach for control of the dc-dc buck converter in high-power and low-voltage applications is proposed. designed method is developed according to state feedback linearization based controller , which is able to stabilize output voltage in a wide range of operation. it is clear that in high-power applications, parasitic elements of the converter may become comparable with...

in spark ignition (si) engines, the accurate control of air fuel ratio (afr) in the stoichiometric value is required to reduce emission and fuel consumption. the wide operating range, the inherent nonlinearities and the modeling uncertainties of the engine system are the main difficulties arising in the design of afr controller. in this paper, an optimization-based nonlinear control law is anal...

in this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. this controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the hamilton-jacobi-bellman (hjb) equation associated with the cheap control problem. this methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...

Hardware-in-the-Loop tests have become a key factor in decreasing development time of various drive systems. In this context, high performance test beds, where feedback control plays major role, are necessary to meet the demanding requirements such as real driving emissions automotive industry. Particularly for combustion engine periodic strokes cause large oscillations different measurement si...
