This paper presents a new approach of achieving inverse model control (IMC) of nonlinear plants with TaSe Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy system. The inverse control law, designed for the control of nonlinear plant dynamics, is derived directly based on approximate model method and it is implemented using TaSe TSK fuzzy system modeling. The robust stability of the IMC is analyzed using Lyapunov ...

In many control design problems it is usually of great interest to have direct control over the closed-loop bandwidth and the transfer function from reference to plant output. The Internal Model Control (IMC) design method for stable plants offers this feature. However, there are some shortcomings, inadequacies and limitations with the IMC design method for both stable and unstable plants which...

In this study the intermetallic (IMC) thickness of Sn-Pb, Sn-Zn and Sn-Zn-Bi solders on copper (Cu) substrate were measured at different temperatures using reflow methods. Cu6Sn5 intermetallic phase was detected between Sn-Pb solder and Cu substrate. The -Cu5Zn8 phase was detected between Sn-Zn and Sn-Zn-Bi lead-free solders with Cu substrate. The thickness of the intermetallics increases with ...

In this paper we design a fuzzy adaptive internal model control for the speed varying problem of a PMSM. The PMSM under the vector control model is studied. The designing of the fuzzy adaptive IMC involves three steps. First a standard internal model controller is designed. This model has high input saturation. A modified IMC is designed which reduces the input saturation. The variation of iner...

In the conventional two degree freedom (TDF)-internal model controller (IMC) design, obtaining suitable value of tuning parameter is much more complex and difficult. In this paper, the approach of genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to obtain optimized value of tuning parameter used in TDF-IMC controller design. For TDF-IMC controller design, 2 nd order reduced-model is obtained using the Routh ...

In this study, the use of isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) for differentiation between methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and MIC determination was evaluated. It was possible to differentiate between MRSA and MSSA within 4 h, whereas the standard method required 24 h. The MICs of cefoxitin were successfully determined for MRSA and MS...
