QFT Control of a Two-Link Rigid-Flexible Manipulator

This paper evaluates a new and simple controller design method based on QFT (quantitative feedback theory) for a two-link manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second is flexible. A piezoelectric patch is attached to the surface of the flexible link for vibration suppression of it. This system is modeled as a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems whose inputs are two...

loving and humane care: a missing link in nursing

“vitality” a missing link in adjustment to childhood cancer

background: a number of randomized trial studies and longitudinal researches emphasize that despite problems in social adjustment and cognitive damages, children with cancer demonstrate good emotional adjustment. methods: most of the research findings in this area are obtained using objective tools such as questionnaires. “vitality of children”, as a drawing tool, was used as a basis to draw a ...

Control of Flexible Link Robot using a Closed Loop Input-Shaping Approach

This paper is has addressed the Single Flexible Link Robot. The dynamical model is derived using Euler-Lagrange equation and then a proper controller is designed to suppress a  vibration based-on Input-Shaping (IS) method. But, IS control method is an open loop strategy. Due to the weakness of open loop control systems, a closed loop IS control system is proposed. The achieved closed loop c...

A Flexible Link Radar Control Based on Type-2 Fuzzy Systems

An adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system based on interval Gaussian type-2 fuzzy sets in the antecedent part and Gaussian type-1 fuzzy sets as coefficients of linear combination of input variables in the consequent part is presented in this paper. The capability of the proposed method (we named ANFIS2) for function approximation and dynamical system identification is remarkable. The structure o...
