چکیده

A closed-loop drug delivery system is constructed in which external negative feedback is used to regulate the dynamics of a time-delayed negative feedback mechanism which regulates hormone concentration. This results in a control system composed of two time-delayed negative feedback loops arranged in parallel. Stability regions in parameter space and the location of steady states are determined for the cases when the time delays are equal and when they are unequal. The advantage of this paradigm for drug delivery is that both the steady states and stability of the multiple loop feedback system can be influenced in a precisely controllable manner.

Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity of Mobile-Base Flexible-Link Manipulators: Feedback Linearization Control Approach

This paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (DLCC) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. In previously proposed methods in the literature of DLCC calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...

Robust H_∞ Controller design based on Generalized Dynamic Observer for Uncertain Singular system with Disturbance

This paper presents a robust ∞_H controller design, based on a generalized dynamic observer for uncertain singular systems in the presence of disturbance. The controller guarantees that the closed loop system be admissible. The main advantage of this method is that the uncertainty can be found in the system, the input and the output matrices. Also the generalized dynamic observer is used to est...

Adaptive Consensus Control for a Class of Non-affine MIMO Strict-Feedback Multi-Agent Systems with Time Delay

In this paper, the design of a distributed adaptive controller for a class of unknown non-affine MIMO strict-feedback multi agent systems with time delay has been performed under a directed graph. The controller design is based on dynamic surface control  method. In the design process, radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) were employed to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. S...

A New Approach in Preliminary Design of Closed Loop Solar Thermal Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper, a model for closed loop solar system is presented and an attempt is made to generalize the model to be utilized for primary design of any solar active thermal system. This model may be used for systems in which gas or a liquid are fluids that flow. Two new parameters, namely, the system heat delivery factor and the system heat absorption factor are introduced in the model. These ...

Design of robust controller by neuro-fuzzy system in a prescribed region via state feedback

In this paper, first a new algorithm for pole assignment of closed-loop multi-variable controllable systems in a prescribed region of the z-plane is presented. Then, robust state feedback controllers are designed by implementing a neural fuzzy system for the placement of closed-loop poles of a controllable system in a prescribed region in the left-hand side of z-plane. A new method based on the...
