This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a magnetorheological damper based semiactive suspension using variable structure controllers. Passive suspension systems tend to limit the trade-off between passenger comfort and road handling. But Semiactive suspensions can reduce this trade-off margin and dynamically respond to the damping requirements. Active suspensions provide the best res...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of two adaptive control strategies for modulating control force of variable friction dampers (VFDs) that are employed as semi-active devices in combination with laminated rubber bearings for seismic protection of buildings. The first controller developed in this study is an adaptive fuzzy neural controller (AFNC). It consists of a direct fuzzy controlle...

An optimal Fractional Order PI λ D μ (FOPID) controller is designed for a full vehicle nonlinear active suspension system. The optimal values of FOPID controller parameters for minimizing the cost function are tuned using an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), which offers an optimal solution to a multidimensional rough objective function. The fitness parameters of FOPID controller (proportional const...

This study uses theory and experiments to investigate the relationship between the passive stiffness of series elastic actuators and torque tracking performance in lower-limb exoskeletons during human walking. Through theoretical analysis with our simplified system model, we found that the optimal passive stiffness matches the slope of the desired torque-angle relationship. We also conjectured ...

Using hydraulic interconnected suspension (HIS) system to improve the stability of the vehicles is a matter of recent interest of many scholars. In this paper, application of this kind of suspension system and its impact on the stability of the vehicle are studied. The governing dynamic relations of the system are presented, using free body diagram, Newton-Euler motion equations, and relations ...

Improving transient voltage stability is one of the most important issues that must be provided by doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms (WFs) according to the grid code requirement. This paper proposes adjusted DC-link chopper based passive voltage compensator and modified transient voltage controller (MTVC) based active voltage compensator for improving transient voltage stab...

This paper presents a tracking algorithm for the adaptive control of nonlinear dynamic systems represented in Strict Feedback Form with parametric uncertainty. The construction of the stabilizing algorithm is given using Passivity-based arguments that result in an Adaptive Passivity-Based Controller (APBC). The construction of the controller results in a chain of interconnected subsystems with ...
