چکیده

This paper describes the development of a five degree of freedom towed underwater vehicle designed for condition monitoring of undersea pipelines. Its innovative design, with 6 fins actuated by 5 motors adding heave and sway capabilities to the yaw, roll and pitch movements possible in traditional designs, is explained. The parameters influencing the stability and the design in general are analyzed. A Control strategy for this design of highly coupled movements and control modes encompassing all the operational scenarios, are presented.

Galloping and VIV control of square-section cylinder utilizing direct opposing smart control force

An adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) is adopted to reduce the 2D flow-induced vibration of an elastically supported square-section cylinder, free to oscillate in stream-wise andtransverse directions in both lock-in and galloping regions. The AFSMC strategy consists of a fuzzy logic inference system intended to follow a sliding-mode controller (SMC), and a robust control syste...
