The robust control and active vibration control for free-floating space flexible manipulator with parameter uncertainties are studied. The dynamic equations of the system are developed by using the Lagrangian assumed modes methods, it is verified that the dynamic equation can be linearly dependent on a group of inertial parameters. Based on the results and under the assumption of two-time scale...

Active vibration control is an important problem in structures. The objective of active vibration control is to reduce the vibrations of a system by automatic modification of the system’s structural response. In this paper, the modeling and design of a fast output sampling feedback controller for a smart flexible beam system embedded with shear sensors and actuators for SISO system using Timosh...

In this paper, the development of a semiactive suspension control of quarter car model using fuzzy-based controller has been done. The quarter car model to be used here can be described as a nonlinear two degrees of freedom system which is subject to excitation from different road profile. The semi-active control is designed as the fuzzy control inferred by using two single input rule fuzzy mod...

BACKGROUND Circulation plays an essential role in tissue healing. Moist heat and warm water immersion have been shown to increase skin circulation; however, these heating modalities can cause burns. Recent research has shown that passive vibration can also increase circulation but without the risk of burns. MATERIAL/METHODS The aim of this study is to compare the effects of short-duration vib...
