The proportional and derivative nonlinear potential feedback controls via piezoelectric sensor and actuator layers are used. A simple and consistent model combining the geometrical nonlinear affects and the feedback control of a piezoelectric/elastic/piezoelectric sandwich beams is derived. A mathematical methodology based on the multiple scales method for nonlinear vibration control of seconda...

This paper investigates vision based robot control based on a receding horizon control strategy, as a first step for a predictive visual feedback control. Firstly, the brief summary of the 3D dynamic visual feedback system with fixed camera configuration is given. Next, a stabilizing receding horizon control for the 3D dynamic visual feedback system, a highly nonlinear and relatively fast syste...

this paper presents a new control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems. in the proposed method, an adaptive neural network observer with rise feedback controller are applied to realize sensorless control scheme. this observer is tuned online and no exact information of nonlinear term of plant is required. so, this characteristic can compensate mismodeling phenomena. also, a new controller ca...

We consider digital feedback control systems with time-varying sampling periods consisting of an interconnection of a continuous-time nonlinear plant, a nonlinear digital controller and appropriate interface elements between the plant and controller (A/D and D/A converters). For such systems we study the stability properties of an equilibrium (in the Lyapunov sense) and apply these results in t...

In this paper, a NCGPC (Nonlinear Continuous Time Generalized Predictive Control) is proposed for a single-link flexible joint manipulator. This control is developed by using a property of NCGPC, the demonstration that the selection of particular design parameters, such as control order and predictor order leads to well-known feedback linearization. Simulations are presented in order to illustr...

This paper formulates the ramp metering control problem as a real-time feedback control problem. The development is shown by modeling freeway sections, and hence the results are immediately applicable to isolated ramp metering problems. The ideas presented in this paper can be utilized to develop coordinated ramp metering feedback control techniques. Three different forms of the formulation for...

The control problem for a series dc motor is considered. Based on a nonlinear mathematical model of a seriesconnected dc motor, it is shown that the combination of a nonlinear transformation and state feedback (feedback linearization) reduces the nonlinear control design to a linear control design. To demonstrate its effectiveness, an experimental study of this controller is presented. These ex...

In this paper, we propose a design method for a robust adaptive output feedback control system for uncertain MIMO nonlinear systems with a higher order relative degree and an uncertain controlled system order. By using a virtual input filter method, this method allows an adaptive output feedback control of MIMO nonlinear systems without constructing a state observer in the controller. Copyright...

this study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. in two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. in experiment i, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (para...
