car body acceleration is an important factor affecting track safety and ride comfort, which are two primary aspects of railway systems. though track level is an important source of wagon body acceleration, no quantitative relation between them is available and the aim of this paper is to propose a method to address this issue. to do so, car body acceleration is determined using a 10 dof simulat...

The authors detail two servo-control strategies which improve the performance of servodriven electro-hydraulic robotic manipulators. The first servo-controller is pragmatic approach based on both empirical controller design and fuzzy logic and results presented demonstrate that its performance clearly surpasses that of the conventional P-controller. The second servo-controller is a robust state...

This paper proposes the new speed control method of electric vehicles by generating the longitudinal speed pattern for improving the ride comfort against the longitudinal acceleration/deceleration. Since the longitudinal acceleration/ deceleration of EVs causes the discomfort of passengers, reducing such bad effect of acceleration/deceleration acting on passengers is very important for not only...

This paper presents an acceleration control of an electrodynamic shaker that cannot employ the iteration control method freely. There are considerable points in the design phase of the acceleration controller. The transfer functions using the acceleration controlled variable have zero at the origin and two crossover frequencies. It is not easy to design the acceleration controller by using the ...

This experimental study demonstrates the efficiency of simple control strategies to damp a 3-stage tensegrity tower structure. The tower is mounted on a moving support which is excited with a limited bandwidth random signal (filtered white noise) by a shaker. Our goal is to minimize the transmissibility between base acceleration and top plate acceleration using piezoelectric displacement actuat...

in this paper, chebyshev acceleration technique is used to solve the fuzzy linear system (fls). this method is discussed in details and followed by summary of some other acceleration techniques. moreover, we show that in some situations that the methods such as jacobi, gauss-sidel, sor and conjugate gradient is divergent, our proposed method is applicable and the acquired results are illustrate...

Transparent transmission control protocol (TCP) acceleration is a technique to increase TCP throughput without requiring any changes in end-system TCP implementations. By intercepting and relaying TCP connections inside the network, long end-to-end feedback control loops can be broken into several smaller control loops. This decrease in feedback delay allows accelerated TCP flows to react more ...

Different movement strategies are used to achieve sit-to-stand (STS) task, depending on balance control ability of the individual. These strategies can be classified by horizontal momentum of the whole body center of mass (COM) and its location relative to the base of support (BOS) [1]. The combinations of COM velocity and position for which loss of balance can be avoided were described as the ...
