a solution to the problem of identification and control of smart structures is presented in this paper. smart structures with build-in sensors and actuators can actively and adaptively change their physical geometry and properties. as a particular example, a representative dynamic model of a typical fighter vertical tail, identified as the smart fin, is considered. piezoelectric patches, which ...

Abstract—There are a variety of reference current identification methods, for the shunt active power filter (SAPF), such as the instantaneous active and reactive power, the instantaneous active and reactive current and the synchronous detection method are evaluated and compared under ideal, non sinusoidal and unbalanced voltage conditions. The SAPF performances, for the investigated identificat...

Received Jan 14, 2013 Revised Mar 19, 2013 Accepted Mar 28, 2013 A comparative study of methods for fractional system identification is presented in this paper. The fractional system is modeled by the help of a non integer integrator which is approximated by a J+1 dimensional modal system composed of an integrator and first order systems. This identification method is compared to other techniqu...

In this paper, Self Tuning Fuzzy PID controller is developed to improve the performance of the electro-hydraulic actuator. The controller is designed based on the mathematical model of the system which is estimated by using System Identification technique. The model is performed in linear discrete model to obtain a discrete transfer function for the system. Model estimation procedures are done ...
