This paper proposes a new robustly adaptive hysteresis current digital control algorithm for half-bridge inverters, which plays an important role in electric power, and in various applications in electronic systems. The proposed control algorithm is assumed to be implemented on a high-speed Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) circuit, using measured data with high sampling frequency. The hyste...

In this paper, we examine the accuracy of several calculation methods for iron loss of rotating machines using the finite element method. Two calculation methods are compared with the measurements. One is based on the Fourier transformation of the flux density waveforms at each finite element. The other is the direct calculation from the waveforms without Fourier transformation. It is clarified...

A finite element approximation of the thin film limit for a sharp interface bulk energy for martensitic crystals is given. The energy density models the softening of the elastic modulus controlling the low-energy path from the cubic to the tetragonal lattice, the loss of stability of the tetragonal phase at high temperatures and the loss of stability of the cubic phase at low temperatures, and ...

Light scattering was used to measure the time-dependent loss of air entrapped within a submerged microporous hydrophobic surface subjected to different environmental conditions. The loss of trapped air resulted in a measurable decrease in surface reflectivity and the kinetics of the process was determined in real time and compared to surface properties, such as porosity and morphology. The ligh...

Despite the fact that shape-memory alloy (SMA) has several mechanical advantages as it continues being used as an actuator in engineering applications, using it still remains as a challenge since it shows both non-linear and hysteretic behavior. To improve the efficiency of SMA application, it is required to do research not only on modeling it, but also on control hysteresis behavior of these m...

This paper presents how to determine the thickness of hysteresis ring of hysteresis motor using the finite element method combined with a vector hysteresis model. From the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field intensity, the magnetization of each ring element is calculated by the vector hysteresis model and the torque can be obtained from the vector sum of each torque of each element or...

The development of control techniques to mitigate the effects of unknown hysteresis preceding with plants has recently re-attracted significant attention. In this paper, we first give a brief review of presently developed hysteresis models and hysteresis compensating control methods. Then, with the use of the Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis model, we propose a robust adaptive control scheme. The ...

This paper addresses certain inherent limitations of local priority hysteresis switching logic. Our main result establishes that under persistent excitation assumption, it is possible to relax constraints requiring strict positivity of local priority and hysteresis switching constants. Relaxing these constraints allows the adaptive system to reach optimality which implies the performance improv...
