Abstract Balancing a bipedal robot movement against external perturbations is considered challenging and complex topic. This paper discusses how the vibration caused by disturbance has been tackled Linear Quadratic Regulator, which aims to provide optimal control system. A simulation was conducted on MATLAB in order prove concept. Results have shown that linear quadratic regulator successful st...

This study deals with the vibration response of sandwich plate with nano-composite core and smart magneto-strictive face sheets. Composite core is reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and its effective elastic properties are obtained by the rule of Mixture. Terfenol-D films are used as the face sheets of sandwich due to magneto-mechanical coupling in magneto-strictive material (MsM). In order ...

Stewart platform is a good candidate for high speed and six degree of freedom motion control, finding its application in the area of multi-axis vibration control. The critical problems associated with Stewart platform are the high non-linearity and uncertainty in its dynamics. To model the system dynamics of the Stewart platform a simple linear model is developed, for the motion of the Stewart ...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to detail the design of a fractional controller which was developed for the suppression of the flexural vibrations of the first mode of a smart beam. Design/methodology/approach – During the design of the fractional controller, in addition to the classical control parameters such as the controller gain and the bandwidth; the order of the derivative effect ...
