Static Force Model of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

Pneumatic actuators convert pneumatic energy into mechanical motion. This motion can be linear or rotary. Linear motion is feasible with pneumatic cylinders (e. g. single-acting cylinder, double-acting cylinder, rodless cylinder) and pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs). Pneumatic artificial muscle is the newest and most promising type of pneumatic actuators. PAM is a membrane that expands radia...

Pneumatic cylinders: modelling and feedback force-control

In this paper, we model, analyze, and control an experimental set-up of a servo pneumatic cylinder. The dynamic behaviour of pneumatic actuator systems is dominant by nonlinear functions. First, a mathematical model for the pneumatic system is derived. Secondly, we investigate the mathematical properties of this model and show boundedness and positiveness of certain variables. Thirdly, we prove...

Weak Force Measurement in Bistable Optomechanical System

One of the main milestones in the study of opto-mechanical system is to increase the sensitivity of weak forces measurement up to the standard quantum limit. We have studied the detection of weak force under a bistable condition in red detuned regime. In this case, dynamics of the system behaves asymptotically similar to stationary state and applying external force affects phase and fluctuation...

Force control in a pneumatic system using hybrid adaptive neuro-fuzzy model reference control

The dynamic model of a force control system depends not only on the actuator but also on the manipulated object. Generally the object dynamics are unknown and frequently change, and it therefore is difficult to identify the actual dynamics of the system. Designing a nonadaptive controller to perform well under unknown and variant conditions is not feasible. To enhance the controller performance...
