A Control Design Method for Switching Systems with Application to Pneumatic Servo Systems

The motivation for this work is to formulate a control design method for a pneumatic system with discrete input values (resulting from the use of binary or three-position solenoid valves) that addresses the time-delay that is often associated with the flow state of solenoid on/off valves. This method is shown to be applicable to a general class of nonlinear, nonautonomous systems subject to pos...

Integrated Mechatronic Design for Servo Mechanical Systems

Mechatronic systems typically exhibited high a degree of complexity due to the strong cross coupling of the involved different engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electronic and computer. This complexity originates from the large number of couplings on various levels of the contributing elements and components, coming from different disciplines. The difficulty for the design engineer in...

‌Optimal design of onboard energy storage systems with volume limitation for urban electrical rail transportation

Train braking energy regeneration in urban electrical rail transportation systems can reduce energy consumption and operational cost of the system. In this paper, optimal design of an onboard energy storage system (OESS) with volume constraint is presented for urban electrical rail transportation systems (ERTS). Onboard super-capacitors are considered as the storage system. The objective functi...
