This paper presents comparison among methods of determination of the characteristic polynomial coefficients. First, the resultant systems from the methods are compared based on frequency criteria such as the closed loop bandwidth, gain and phase margins. Then the step responses of the resultant systems are compared on the basis of the transient behavior criteria including overshoot, rise time, ...

We present a smooth distributed nonlinear control law for local synchronization of identical driftless kinematic agents on a Cartesian product of matrix Lie groups with a connected communication graph. If the agents are initialized sufficiently close to one another, then synchronization is achieved exponentially fast. We first analyze the special case of commutative Lie groups and show that in ...

We present feedback control techniques to intelligently support priorities of soft handoff calls during call admission control (CAC) in power-controlled DS-CDMA multicellular networks. We design a classic proportional controller to dynamically solve resource management problems, which arise during run-time adaptation, via continuously monitoring real-time system performance to adjust system par...

In this paper, an state-space approach to deadbeat servomechanism design is proposed using multirate input control. This paper focuses advantage of multirate control over conventional single-rate control. To achieve settling time specified, multirate controllers require less frequent sampling of measurement than single-rate ones. Multirate input mechanism can yield shorter settling time than si...

abstract: this paper presents dynamic modelling and control of a linear prismatic series of elastic actuator. the capability of generating large torques is why this actuator is increasingly used in human-assistive robotic systems. due to having human in the loop, the actuator requires precise control. a fractional pid controller known for its improved performance is used for the control, due to...

The study was carried out to identify and study the settling characteristics of the dairy activated sludge. The causes and the control measure for the sludge bulking were studied. The activated sludge was generated by running a batch reactor of capacity of 10 liters for a θC of 10 days. It was operated until steady state conditions were reached. pH, DO, MLSS and COD were taken as the parameters...

In this paper, a high-performance optimal fractional emotional intelligent controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) in power system using Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed. AVR is the main controller within the excitation system that preserves the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator at a specified level. The proposed control strategy is based on brain emotional ...

Today, DC motors is still being used globally due to their easy speed controllability. In this article, an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller is designed for DC motors. The main purpose of performing such task is to reduce the DC motor starting current and deleting the ripple current during starting time in considering control parameters such as: rise time, settling time, ...

This paper deals with the problem of robustness to multiplicative plant perturbations for the case of Finite Settling Time Stabilization (FSTS) of SISO, linear, discrete–time systems. FSTS is a generalization of the deadbeat control and as in the case of deadbeat control the main feature of FSTS is the placement of all closed–loop poles at the origin of the z–plane. This makes FSTS sensitive to...
