The purpose of this work is to control the vibration of the plate with the help of fuzzy logic controller. A finite element model of a two-dimensional cantilever plate instrumented with a piezoelectric patches sensor-actuator pair is derived. The contribution of piezoelectric sensor and actuator layers on the mass and stiffness of the plate is considered. Fuzzy logic optimal control scheme have...

This paper develops an automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering angle for the output. In this way some feasible reference trajectory path have been introduced according to geometric and kinematic constraints and nonholonomic constraints to simulate motion path of car. Also a novel method is used for parking space detec...

Fuzzy logic or fuzzy set theory is recently getting increasing emphasis in process control applications. This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic control (FLC) for switched reluctance motor (SRM) speed. The (FLC) technique finds its stronger justification in the utilization of a robust control law to model uncertainties. A fuzzy logic controller of the motor speed is then designed and ...

Honey bees use optical flow to avoid obstacles effectively. In this research work similar methodology was tested on a simulated mobile robot. Simulation framework was based on VRML and Simulink in a 3D world. Optical flow vectors were calculated from a video scene captured by a virtual camera which was used as inputs to a fuzzy logic controller. Fuzzy logic controller decided the locomotion of ...

This paper presents a novel approach for designing a decentralized controller for load frequency control of interconnected power areas. The proposed fuzzy logic load frequency controller (FLFC) has been designed to improve the dynamic performance of the frequency and tie line power under a sudden load change in the power areas. The effect of generation rate constraint (GRC) for both areas has b...

This paper proposes a method of maximum power point tracking using adaptive fuzzy logic control for grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The system is composed of a boost converter and a single-phase inverter connected to a utility grid. The maximum power point tracking control is based on adaptive fuzzy logic to control a switch of a boost converter. Adaptive fuzzy logic controllers provide at...

Design of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) requires more design decisions than usual, for example rule base, inference engine, defuzzification, and data preand post processing. This project is a humble effort to implement an FLC using VHDL for motor control. There are three parts to fuzzy controller, the fuzzification of the inputs, the defuzzification of the outputs, and the rule base. The contr...

Two advanced controllers were developed in this paper, i.e., a type-1 and a type-2 fuzzy logic controller and their performances compared in simulation for a case study, i.e., a binary distillation column, which is characterized by high nonlinearities and parameter uncertainties in the underlying mathematical model. Priority was given to the type-2 fuzzy controller, with special attention to in...

This paper presents an implementation of self-tuned PID controller (FPID) for speed control of DC motor based on LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench Environment). The algorithms of fuzzy PID controller (FPID) and conventional PID controller (CPID) are implemented using PID and Fuzzy Logic simulation toolkits of the Lab View environment. The simulation results demonstrat...
