Robust Identification and Control Design for Truck Cab Model Device.

Multiobjective robust design optimization of fatigue life for a truck cab

Structural optimization for vehicle fatigue durability signifies an exciting topic of research to improve its long-term safety and performance with minimum cost. Nevertheless, majority of the existing studies has been dealing with deterministic optimization and has not involved uncertainties, which could lead to an unstable or even useless design in practice. In order to simultaneously enhance ...

Optimizing Truck Cab Layout for Driver Accommodation

One important source of variability in the performance and success of products designed for use by people is the people themselves. In many cases, the acceptability of the design is affected more by the variability in the human users than by the variability attributable to the hardware from which the product is constructed. Designing for human variability as an inherent part of the product opti...

Fuzzy Approximation Model-based Robust Controller Design for Speed Control of BLDC Motor

This paper presents a new controller for speed control problem of the BLDC motors. The nonlinear model of the motor is approximated by implementation of fuzzy rules. The uncertainties are considered in the fuzzy system. Using this model and linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization, a robust controller for purpose of speed control of the motor has been designed and applied to it. The effectiv...

A Robust Control Design Technique for Discrete-Time Systems

A robust state feedback design subject to placement of the closed loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of unit circle is presented. Quantitative measures of robustness and disturbance rejection are investigated. A stochastic optimization algorithm is used to effect trade-off between the free design parameters and to accomplish all the design criteria. A numerical example is given to illustra...
