this paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. although srm possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. in this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. by using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the dc...

In this paper a novel direct adaptive fuzzy system is proposed to control flexible-joints robot including actuator dynamics. The design includes two interior loops: the inner loop controls the motor position using proposed approach while the outer loop controls the joint angle of the robot using a PID control law. One novelty of this paper is the use of a PSO algorithm for optimizing the contro...

joint flexibility is a very important factor to consider in the controller design for robot manipulators if high performance is expected. most of the research works on control of flexible-joint robots in literature have ignored the actuator dynamics to avoid complexity in controller design. the problem of designing nonlinear controller for a class of single-link flexible-joint robot manipulator...

In this paper, we present an online scheduling algorithm for communication in a distributed control system. The packet size of the communication varies for each execution of the loop within certain bounds. We consider systems with closed loops that restart immediately after the completion of an execution. Our algorithm is based on priority of the loop and size of the communication packet. We de...

abstract: gridlock is an extreme traffic state where vehicle cannot move at all. this research studies the development of gridlock by theoretical and numerical analysis. it is shown that the development of gridlock can be divided into several stages. the core of the development is the evolution of congestion loop. a congestion loop is comprised of a number of consecutively connected spillover l...

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate electrode temperatures obtained using a radiofrequency ablation system that incorporates closed loop feedback control to achieve preset target electrode temperatures and to determine if closed loop temperature control results in a lower incidence of developing a coagulum. Methods and Results Two hundred seventy patients underwent catheter abl...

In this paper, a systematic overview of PLL-based closed-loop control methods for interleaved DCM/CCM boundary boost PFC converters is presented. It is shown that the PLL-based closed-loop methods always provide stable operation, unlike the open-loop control methods, where the only method which results in stable operation is the slave synchronization to the turn-on instant of the master with cu...
