Block-oriented models are often used to model a nonlinear system. This paper presents an identification method for parallel Wiener-Hammerstein systems, where the obtained model has a decoupled static nonlinear block. This decoupled nature makes the interpretation of the obtained model more easy. First a coupled parallel Wiener-Hammerstein model is estimated. Next, the static nonlinearity is dec...

In the present paper, a Takagi–Sugeno (TS) model is used to simultaneously represent the behaviour of a nonlinear system and its saturated actuators. With the TS formalism and the Lyapunov approach, stabilization conditions are expressed as linear matrix inequalities for different controller designs. Static parallel distributed compensation (PDC) state feedback and static and dynamic PDC output...

Abstract–Log-domain filters are an intriguing form of current-mode circuits. They are universally regarded as externally-linear internally-nonlinear circuits in which each bipolar junction transistor operates in the forward-active mode at all times and acts as a static exponential non-linearity relating the collector current to the base-emitter voltage. This paper establishes sufficient conditi...

This paper studies the design of a static output feedback controller for nonlinear systems described by continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) models. Motivated by stability results developed for parallel distributed compensation (PDC) controller, an Output PDC (OPDC) controller that corresponds to a nonlinear static output feedback control law is proposed. Both stabilisation and poles placement a...

This reports is intended as a users manual for a package of MATLAB scripts and functions, developed for recursive prediction error identification of discrete time nonlinear Wiener systems and nonlinear static systems. Wiener systems consist of linear dynamics in cascade with a static nonlinearity. The core of the package is an implementation of 9 recursive SISO output error identification algor...

this paper examines differences in performances of a range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings designed with the provisions of iranian standard 2800. seismic nonlinear dynamic time history behavior of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional design spectra compatible ground motions are investigated. these models cover a wide range of very torsional...
