Linear motor is one of the most important drive units for high-speed machining centers. Nonlinear friction is an important factor affecting the positioning accuracy of linear motor drive system. One of the most important topics for controlling linear motor is how to accurately estimate the parameters of the friction and effectively compensate it. In this paper, to solve the problem existing in ...

The objective of this report is to provide a short introduction regarding simple tire models that could be used when modeling the military vehicle HMMWV. Drawbacks and advantages associated with the tire models are briefly discussed. The report also introduces a simple three-dimensional tire model that has been implemented to Chrono software [3].

A robust positioning control scheme has been developed using friction parameter observer and recurrent fuzzy neural networks based on the sliding mode control. As a dynamic friction model, the LuGre model is adopted for handling friction compensation because it has been known to capture sufficiently the properties of a nonlinear dynamic friction. A developed friction parameter observer has a si...

This paper describes friction compensation based control of an industrial pneumatic actuator used for the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT). Adaptive LuGre model for friction has been used in this work. Friction force that is responsible for hysteresis and hunting phenomenon in the position control is compensated with two different control strategies designed to improve low velocity position...

Vibrations is an extremely important issue to consider when designing various systems. It may lead to discomfort and malfunction or in some cases collapse of structures. To compensate for these vibrations different types of damping devices can be applied. The main focus which the following work addresses has been to look at standard methodology which enables determining the hysteresis from defi...

We present a parameter estimation approach for LuGre friction model based on chain-code method. The approach employs shape characteristics of friction force-displacement curve to measure the similar degree, here it is Euclidean distance, between the original curve and simulated curve. Once the Euclidean distance is smaller than the given error, we can consider the final dynamic parameters are t...

Although LuGre Model is considered as a nice friction model that can describe the friction phenomenon of pneumatic cylinders comprehensively, its parameters are hard to be defined in the real cases. In this paper, a new experimental bench, on which the moving of pneumatic cylinder is driven by a servo motor accurately, is developed to study the friction characteristics of the cylinders. Based o...
