An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) is adopted to reduce the 2D flow-induced vibration of an elastically supported square-section cylinder, free to oscillate in stream-wise andtransverse directions in both lock-in and galloping regions. The AFSMC strategy consists of a fuzzy logic inference system intended to follow a sliding-mode controller (SMC), and a robust control syste...

This paper describes the related research work in field of fluid-induced vibration centrifugal pumps conducted by many researchers. In recent years, all walks life have put forward higher demands for performance which drives investigation on root cause pump and development guidelines design low-vibration pumps. Fluid-induced excitation is most important significant source vibration. Understandi...

With the development of low power electronics and energy harvesting technology, selfpowered systems have become a research hotspot over the last decade. The main advantage of self-powered systems is that they require minimum maintenance which makes them to be deployed in large scale or previously inaccessible locations. Therefore, the target of energy harvesting is to power autonomous ‘fit and ...
