In a multivariable servomechanism design, it is required that the output vector tracks a certain reference vector while satisfying some desired transient specifications, for this purpose a 2DOF control law consisting of state feedback gain and feedforward scaling gain is proposed. The control law is designed using block pole placement technique by assigning a set of desired Block poles in diffe...

Abstract: The decentralized robust servomechanism problem, which is to design decentralized stabilizing controllers such that each decentralized output robustly tracks a given reference signal in the presence of certain disturbances, is considered for linear time-invariant time-delay systems of neutral type with discrete delays. The reference signals and the disturbance are assumed to satisfy a...

This paper is written as a motivation for the students who are beginning to study the control engineering. Therefore, the below mentioned references are introduced with regard to this fact. The paper shortly presents the procedure of the control design, including a description of a system, an identification of its parameters, a simple and an advanced controller design. The controller design pro...

The complex connective tissue structure of muscle and tendon suggests that forces from two parts of a muscle may not summate linearly, particularly in muscles with intrafasciculary terminating fibers, such as cat tibialis anterior (TA). In four anesthetized cats, the TA was attached to a servomechanism to control muscle length and record force. The ventral roots were divided into two bundles, e...

The complex connective tissue structure of muscle and tendon suggests that forces from two parts of a muscle may not summate linearly. This study measured the nonlinear summation of force (F(nl)) in whole cat soleus during isometric and ramp movements. In six anesthetized cats, the soleus was attached to a servomechanism to control muscle length and record force. The ventral roots were divided ...

In this paper, a new control strategy is developed to improve comfort and roadholding of a ground vehicle equipped with an industrial damper. This damper can be controlled by means of a small servomechanism which adjusts the damping rate. The main controller is a linear parameter varying (LPV ) static state-feedback controller synthesized in the H∞/LPV framework to compute the required damping ...
