Most of students do not have enough experience of working in interdisciplinary team. This paper shows how some interdisciplinary control problems can be stated and solved by students with some knowledge of modern CASE tools. An example of automotive ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is given to explain graphical approach with RUP and UML in design of a control system. Copyright © 2006 IFAC

A new NPID (Nonlinear Proportional-IntegralDifferential) control algorithm is applied to a class of truck ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) problems. The NPID algorithm combines the advantages of robust control and easy tuning. Simulation results at various situations using TruckSim show that NPID controller has shorter stopping distance and better velocity performance than the conventional PID cont...

A new method for increasing LDR in deep drawing is application of anti-lock braking system (ABS) on blank holder. In this method, instead of applying a constant force on blank and control the metal flow, the ABS system holds and releases the blank several times (20 to 50 times) which results increasing LDR. This study investigates the effect of different parameters of ABS on improving the condi...
