In this letter, a new sliding-mode sensorless control algorithm is proposed for the field-oriented induction machine drive. In the proposed algorithm, the terms containing flux, speed, and rotor time constant, which are common in both current and flux equations, in the current model of the induction machine are estimated by a sliding function. The flux and speed estimation accuracy is guarantee...

In this paper we investigate the tribological properties of AlSn-based alloy with different amount of graphite at different normal loads and sliding speed. A modified impeller mixing coupled with chill casting technique was used for the preparation of immiscible alloys. In this paper Al-Sn binary alloys was chosen for this study. This binary system shows the miscibility gap at different concent...

We analyze the processes of thermal softening, melting and subsequent melt lubrication that occur during the high speed sliding of a metal piece on another metal block. The temperature rise in the slider arising from both high speed interface friction and from the energy dissipated during plastic deformations is computed using simple analysis and the finite element method. Subsequently, we prop...

This paper discusses a model reference adaptive sliding-mode control of the sensorless vector controlled induction motor drive in a wide speed range. The adaptive speed controller uses on-line trained fuzzy neural network, which enables very fast tracking of the changing speed reference signal. This adaptive sliding-mode neuro-fuzzy controller (ASNFC) is used as a speed controller in the direct...

In this paper, the speed tracking for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in field oriented control (FOC) method is investigated using linear proportional-integral (PI) controller, sliding mode controller (SMC) and its advanced counterparts. The advanced SMCs considered in this paper are fuzzy SMC (FSMC) and sliding mode controller with time-varying switching gain (SMC+TG) which can effec...

In this work, improved heat generation models are developed for straight and tapered shoulder geometries with different tool pin profiles in friction stir welding. The models are developed considering the welding process as a combination of the pure sliding and the pure sticking conditions. From the results, the amount of heat generation is directly proportional to the number of edges in the pi...

Sliding super point is a special host de€ned under sliding time window with which there are huge other hosts contact. It plays important roles in network security and management. But how to detect them in real time from nowadays high-speed network which contains several distributed routers is a hard task. Distributed sliding super point detection requires an algorithm that can estimate the numb...

The characteristics of wind turbine systems such as nonlinearity, uncertainty and strong coupling, as well as external interference, present great challenges in wind turbine controller design. In this paper, a quasi-continuous high-order sliding mode method is used to design controllers due to its strong robustness to external disturbances, unmodeled dynamics and parameter uncertainties. It can...

Robust control of a decoupled induction motor drive is attempted in this paper. Sliding Mode Controller and Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller are designed for the speed loop of the drive. The design steps for both the controllers are laid down clearly. Only four fuzzy rules, and Center-ofSums defuzzification technique are used in the fuzzy controller for simplicity reasons. The performance of the f...
