A stability criterion for universal fuzzy position control drives is described. This method allows an immediate definition of the stability boundaries through the knowledge of common motor parameters. The method can be applied to almost every type of motors, from DC to Synchronous, regardless of most fuzzy controller characteristics. “Elastic” fuzzy controller "gain" limits can be established a...

[Purpose] This study examined the effects of the application of elastic taping over the ankle joints of healthy subjects on their gait, balance ability, and muscle strength. [Subjects] Fifty healthy subjects with no orthopedic history of the ankle joint were selected and elastic taping was applied to their ankle joints. [Methods] Before and after application of the elastic taping, gait and bala...

In this paper we consider the stability issue for the inverse problem of determining an unknown inclusion contained in an elastic body by all the pairs of measurements of displacement and traction taken at the boundary of the body. Both the body and the inclusion are made by inhomogeneous linearly elastic isotropic material. Under mild a priori assumptions about the smoothness of the inclusion ...
