an adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. in this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations.  online training of neurolinearizer is compared to model predictive recurrent training...

In the present work, FGM shells integrated with magnetostrictive layers acting as distributed sensors and actuators are modeled to control vibration attenuation of FGM shells with simply supported boundaryconditions. To achieve a mechanism for actively control of the oscillation amplitude of the integrated structure, a negative velocity proportional feedback control law is implemented in the st...

the aim of this study was to determine the interactional effects of various video shows (skilled and self-model) and feedback type on performance and learning of dart throwing skill. 90 volunteers were randomly divided into 6 groups including self-control, experimenter control and yoked feedback that received either skilled model or self-model. three groups who watched the skilled model observe...

Landesberg, Amir, and Samuel Sideman. Force-velocity relationship and biochemical-to-mechanical energy conversion by the sarcomere. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 278: H1274–H1284, 2000.—The intracellular control mechanism leading to the well-known linear relationship between energy consumption by the sarcomere and the generated mechanical energy is analyzed here by coupling calcium kinetics w...

Research on wind turbine technologies have focused primarily on power cost reduction. Generally, this aim has been achieved by increasing power output while maintaining the structural load at a reasonable level. However, disturbances, such as wind speed, affect the performance of wind turbines, and as a result, the use of various types of controller becomes crucial.This paper deals with two ada...

Sayed, Shehrin. M.S.E.C.E., Purdue University, December 2013. Performance-onDemand MEMS (PODMEMS): Electrical Control of Effective Mass, Damping, and Stiffness. Major Professor: Jason V. Clark. We propose the use of electrostatic force feedback to control the stiffness, damping, or mass of MEMS. If feedback forces are proportional to sensed displacement, velocity, or acceleration of a MEMS proo...

This paper presents the design study of a lightweight inertial actuator, with integrated velocity sensor, for the implementation of velocity feedback control, i.e. active damping, in lightly-damped panels. The arrangement provides a collocated force actuator and velocity sensor device so that, in principle, an unconditionally stable direct velocity feedback loop could be implemented. However, t...
