In dealing with model predictive controllers (MPC), controller tuning is a key design step. Various tuning methods are proposed in the literature which can be categorized as heuristic, numerical and analytical methods. Among the available tuning methods, analytical approaches are more interesting and useful. This paper is based on a proposed analytical MPC tuning approach for plants can be appr...

The paper presents a novel tuning method for different types of controllers. Since the tuning method is trying to equalise the closed-loop response to the open-loop response, it is named “Equalisation tuning method”. The main advantage of this method is that it does not require any additional data from the operator except the measurement of the process steady-state change in an open-loop experi...

Objectives: Sensory neuropathy is the major cause of ulceration in diabetic patients. Periodical sensory examination is an appropriate method to detect neuropathy and decrease the risk of diabetic foot ulcer. Semmes–Weinstein Monofilaments (SWM) and tuning fork on/off test are widely used to assess pressure and vibration sensitivity. The present study evaluated the inter- and intra-rater reliab...

we present a detailed analysis of the static tuning characteristics of three section tunable distributed bragg reflector (dbr) laser. the analysis is based on the transfer matrix method (tmm), transmission line and scattering theory. the key feature of the analysis is the use of modified oscillation condition. with the exact oscillation condition, the static tuning characteristics such as thres...

Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) is a widely used model predictive controller (MPC) in industrial plants. The successful implementation of DMC in practical applications requires a proper tuning of the controller. The available tuning procedures are mainly based on experience and empirical results. This paper develops an analytical tool for DMC tuning. It is based on the application of Analysis of V...

the error of inertial navigation systems increase versus time, therefore for achieving higher accuracy specially in long time navigations we have to use an aiding system. global positioning system is the best aiding system in this case. in this paper we first simulate a gps and ins; then simulate tightly integration and finally review adaptation method of kalman filtering a fuzzy adaptive kalma...

There are several tuning methods available for PI controllers. The Magnitude Optimum Multiple Integration (MOMI) tuning method results in a very good closed-loop response for a large class of process models. The method calculates the PI controller parameters from the process model or from the open-loop or the closed-loop time response of the process. Recently, the MOMI tuning method has been ex...
