In this work a new approach for a fully automated calibration of nonlinear PID controllers and feedforward maps is introduced. Controller design poses a particularly challenging task in the application to internal combustion engines due to the nonlinear controller structure, which is usually prescribed by the manufacturer of the engine control unit (ECU). A dynamic local model network is used t...

inverse modeling is one of the most elegant geophysical tools for obtaining 2-d and 3-d images of geological structure. determination of the geometry of bedrock, by nonlinear inverse modeling of gravity data, is the aim of this paper. the algorithm uses a nonlinear iterative procedure for simulation of bedrock geometry. at the first step, the nonlinear problem changes to a linear problem by a p...

planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. the problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-po...

Stable inversion is a completely new approach to the output tracking control of nonminimum phase nonlinear systems. It not only offers exact reproduction of a given reference output trajectory but also guarantees stability of all external and internal signals. After a brief review of the stable inversion problem, the paper establishes a finite energy property of stable inverses. That is, out of...

This paper describes a dual-loop control scheme for fault tolerant flight control system design. The dual-loop controller consists of an outer loop controller–so-called adaptive neural sliding mode control (ANSC) and an inner loop controller designed by using nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) technique. The merits of adaptive neural network and sliding mode control scheme are that 1) the abilit...

This paper compares in simulation six different nonlinear control laws for multi-axis control of a high performance aircraft. The control law approaches are fuzzy logic control, backstepping adaptive control, neural network augmented control, variable structure control, and indirect adaptive versions of Model Predictive Control and Dynamic Inversion. In addition, a more conventional scheduled d...

Excitation control of synchronous machine is done in order to keep the terminal voltage constant. This paper describes the advantage of using a nonlinear technique called Dynamic Inversion (DI) in order maintain the voltage at the terminals constant. An excitation model which includes the excitation system stabilizer (ESS) and the transient gain reduction (TGR) blocks is considered. The referen...
