Fluid analysis of an input control problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two-station network with controllable inputs and sequencing control, proposed by Wein [23], is analyzed. A control is sought to minimize holding cost subject to a throughput constraint. In a Lagrangian formulation, input vanishes in the fluid limit. Several alternative fluid models, including workload formulations, are analyzed to develop a heuristic policy for the stochastic network. Both the fluid heuristic and Wein’s diffusion solution are compared with the optimal policy by solving the dynamic program. Examples with up to six customer classes, using Poisson arrival and service processes, are presented. The fluid heuristic does well at sequencing control but the diffusion gives additional, and better, information on input control. The fluid analysis, in particular whether the fluid priorities are greedy, aids in determining whether the fluid heuristic contains useful information. Running title: Fluid input control

Hydraulic anti-lock, anti-skid braking system using fuzzy controller
To maintain the stability trajectory of vehicles under critical driving conditions, anti lock-anti skid controllers, consisting of four anti-lock sub-controllers for each wheel and two anti-skid sub-controllers for left and right pair wheels have been separately designed. Wheel and body systems have been simulated with seven degrees of freedom to evaluate the proper functioning of controllers. ...

In this paper, a predictive control based on the proposed hybrid model is designed to control the fluid height in a three-tank system with nonlinear dynamics whose operating mode depends on the instantaneous amount of system states. The use of nonlinear hybrid model in predictive control leads to a problem of mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) which is very complex and time consuming t...
