As a new type of intelligent material, magnetically shape memory alloy (MSMA) has a good performance in its applications in the actuator manufacturing. Compared with traditional actuators, MSMA actuator has the advantages as fast response and large deformation; however, the hysteresis nonlinearity of the MSMA actuator restricts its further improving of control precision. In this paper, an impro...

This paper represents an experimental study on the application of smart control represented by use fuzzy logic controller. Two-link flexible manipulators that are used in airspace and military applications made materials characterized low frequency damping ratio. To solve this problem, proposes (piezoelectric transducers), where each link is bonded with a pair piezoelectric transducers act as s...

Intelligent braking system has a lot of potential applications especially in developed countries where research on smart vehicle and intelligent highway are receiving ample attention. The system when integrated with other subsystems like automatic traction control system, intelligent throttle system, and auto cruise system, etc will result in smart vehicle maneuver. The driver at the end of the...

Minimizing energy usage and increasing occupant comfort are the two primary objectives of intelligent and eco-friendly buildings. Energy savings of up to 70%, combined with significant occupant productivity gains are possible via the application of wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSAN). Despite the increasing interests in WSAN-based wireless intelligent lighting control, no prior survey ...

To rationalize the relatively high investment that industrial automation systems entail, research in the field of intelligent machines should target high value functions such as fettling, die-finishing, deburring, and fixtureless manufacturing. For achieving this goal, past work has concentrated on force control algorithms at the system level with limited focus on performance expansion at the a...

This paper describes third aircraft model with 2 degrees of freedom. The aim of this study is to develop a mathematical model for investigation of adoptable landing gear vibration behavior and to design Proportional Integration Derivative (PID) classical techniques for control of active hydraulic nonlinear actuator. The parameters of controller and suspension system are adjusted according to be...
