In this paper, H2 & H∞ contro1 for an active suspension system are presented. These Controllers are designed for the order reduced model of the plant that makes the design problem so easy, But preserves the performances and stability of the nominal closed loop system. Some constraints on the Input and output sensitivity functions are considered. The results show control specifications are met t...

A suspension-point interferometer (SPI) is an auxiliary interferometer for active vibration isolation, implemented at the suspension points of the mirrors of an interferometric gravitational wave detector. We constructed a prototype Fabry-Perot interferometer equipped with an SPI and observed vibration isolation in both the spectrum and transfer function. The noise spectrum of the main interfer...

The various interaction forces that govern the stability/flocculation of concentrated suspensions are briefly described. Combination of these interactions result in three main energy-distance curves which determine the final state of the suspension. This ranges from colloidally stable to strongly flocculated (coagulated) suspensions. A schematic representation of the various states of suspensio...

This study reports increasing iron concentrations in rivers draining into the Baltic Sea. Given the decisive role of iron to the structure and biogeochemical function of aquatic ecosystems, this trend is likely one with far reaching consequences to the receiving system. What those consequences may be depends on the fate of the iron in estuarine mixing. We here assess the stability of riverine i...

China FSAE race introduced formula racing gradually in the university campus in order to make FSAE racing have better ride comfort, handling and stability. Design and strength analysis of FSAE suspension were also proposed. Firstly, according to the whole layout of FSAE racing, the suspension mode was selected, both front and rear suspension were unequal push rod type double wishbone independen...

The notion of »non-equilibrium surface forces« is advanced for the application in a number of cases of colloid stability and transport phenomena. The idealized concept of full equilibrium in the double layer, as used in the DLVO theory is shown to be too simple to describe the stability of a colloid particle not in equilibrium with the surround ing medium. Cases are described where surface forc...

Conventional ophthalmic dosage forms have lower bioavailability due to many factors like precorneal loss factor, tear dynamics, low residence time etc. Another reason for lower bioavailability is lower permeation of conventional dosage form. This research is based on formulation of liposomal suspension to increase the lipophilic cornea. This liposomal suspension was converted in to hydogel usin...

In this paper, we present a backstepping based fuzzy logic (FL) scheme for the active control of vehicle suspension systems using the two-degrees of freedom or 1/4 car model. The full dynamics of a novel hydraulic strut are considered. The servo-valve dynamics are also included. A fuzzy logic system is used to estimate the nonlinear hydraulic strut dynamics. The backstepping fuzzy logic scheme ...
