In this research, vibration control of national engine (EF7) using active mounts is studied for two different mounting layouts. The first layout is based on the current engine mounting of national engine (system of three passive mounts), but the hydraulic mount is substituted by an active mount. The other mounting layout contains 4 mounts, 2 of which are active ones and the others are passive m...

Research on Active Vibration Control System (AVCS) is being carried out to reduce structural vibrations caused by unwanted vibrations in many application areas such as in space, aircraft structures, satellites, automobiles and civil structures (bridges), particularly at low frequencies. The unwanted vibration may cause damage to the structure or degradation to the structure’s performance. The A...

This doctoral thesis comprises a summary of novel results considering (1) channel selection in a cognitive radio system (CRS) using history information and (2) power allocation in a selected frequency band assuming a fading channel. Both can be seen as methods to manage interference between in-system users as well as to the users of other systems operating in the same geographical area and freq...

Diesel Generator (DG) set based standalone supply systems are source of electricity in many parts of world. DG sets are backbone of supply in trains, hospitals, institutes, telecommunication towers etc. Because of huge demand of electricity for air-conditioning, lighting, toiletries, pantry demands in trains, the railways has been one of the big consumer of DG set based supply systems. Moreover...

In this paper we develop a modified filtered-x least mean squares (MFX-LMS) method to synthesis an adaptive repetitive controller for rejecting periodic disturbances at selective frequencies. We show how a MFX-LMS algorithm can be utilized when the reference signal is deterministic and periodic. A new adaptive step size is proposed with the motivation to improve the convergence rate of the MFX-...
