Parametric Research of Experiments on a Carangiform Robotic Fish

In this paper, a carangiform robotic fish with 4-DoF (degree of freedom) tail has been developed. The robotic fish has capability of swimming under two modes that are radio control and autonomous swimming. Experiments were conducted to investigate the influences of characteristic parameters including the frequency, the amplitude, the wave length, the phase difference and the coefficient on forw...

Linear parametric hydrodynamic models based on numerical wave tank experiments

Hydrodynamic models are important for the design and control of wave energy converters. Traditionally they have been obtained using velocity potential/boundary element type methods, however associated assumptions of inviscid fluid, irrotational flow, small waves and small body motions are a major limitation of this modelling approach, since WECs are designed to operate over wide wave amplitude ...

Experiments in Multi-parametric Quadratic Programming

The paper deals with a short presentation of the basic ideas concerning the multiparametric quadratic programming (mp-QP) problems. The model predictive control is considered also as particular mp-QP problem. Since the solutions to mp-QP problems can be expressed as piecewise affine linear functions of the state, a new implementation in terms of adaptive network-based fuzzy inference systems is...

Chapter 5 Choice Experiments

There has been an explosion of interest during the past two decades in a class of nonmarket stated-preference valuation methods known as choice experiments. The overall objective of a choice experiment is to estimate economic values for characteristics (or attributes) of an environmental good that is the subject of policy analysis, where the environmental good or service comprises several chara...
