This paper is concerned with full vehicle nonlinear active suspension systems, in which each suspension unit consists of three components: a nonlinear spring, a nonlinear damper and a nonlinear hydraulic actuator. An artificial intelligence Neural Control technique has been presented in this paper to design a robust controller for full vehicle nonlinear active suspension systems. The advantage ...

Rotea School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907-1282 Abstract In this paper, we use the theory of L2 disturbance attenuation for linear (H1) and nonlinear systems to...

The occurrence of catastrophic earthquakes necessitates further researches in the structure engineering for retrofitting construction structures. In this paper, the application of the active control in the structures’ seismic response has been addressed. A single degree of freedom nonlinear structure has been studied. The nonlinear dynamic of the structure is considered in which, the nonlin...

The paper presents the design of a mini-UAV attitude controller using the backstepping method. Starting from the nonlinear dynamic equations of the mini-UAV, by using the backstepping method, the author of this paper obtained the expressions of the elevator, rudder and aileron deflections, which stabilize the UAV, at each moment, to the desired values of the attitude angles. The attitude contro...

An indirect adaptive controller is developed for a class of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with unknown uncertainties. This control system is comprised of an L 1 adaptive controller and an auxiliary neural network (NN) compensation controller. The L 1 adaptive controller has guaranteed transient response in addition to stable tracking. In this architecture, a low-pass f...

Considering generator rotor and valve by external disturbances for turbine regulating system, the nonlinear large disturbance attenuation controller and parameter updating law of turbine speed governor system are designed using backstepping method. The controller not only considers transmission line parameter uncertainty, and has attenuated the influences of large external disturbances on syste...

An unsolved ancient problem in position control of robot manipulators is to find a stability analysis that proves global asymptotic stability of the classical PID control in closed loop with robot manipulators. The practical evidence suggests that in fact the classical PID in industrial robots is a global regulator. The main goal of the present paper is theoreticall...

A two-step controller synthesis method is proposed in this paper for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems described by piecewise affine differential inclusions. In the first step, a robust linear controller is designed for the linear differential inclusion that describes the dynamics of the nonlinear system close to the equilibrium point. In the second step, a stabilizing piecewise affine con...

Abstract: Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system is a nonlinear MIMO system which is very difficult to control. This paper presents adaptive fuzzy output feedback control based on observer for nonlinear HVAC System whose state variables are not available. Fuzzy systems are employed to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions of the HVAC system and the state observer is desig...

This talk deals with the control and regulation by integral controllers for the nonlinear systems governed by scalar quasi-linear hyperbolic partial differential equations. Both the control input and the measured output are located on the boundary. The closed loop stabilization of the linearized model with the designed integral controller is proved first by using the method of spectral analysis...
