Global smart spaces are intended to provide their inhabitants with context-aware access to pervasive services and information relevant to large geographical areas. Transportation is one obvious domain for such global smart spaces since applications can be built to exploit the variety of sensor-rich systems that have been deployed to support urban traffic control and highway management as well a...

In this paper, a design approach adaptability of fuzzy sliding-mode controller (AFSMC) with a decoupled method is proposed. The decoupled method provides a simple way to achieve asymptotic stability for a class of fourth-order nonlinear system. Moreover, heuristic sliding factors are implemented as functions. Therefore, the sliding factor in hybrid fuzzy sliding mode controller is given without...

The paper presents numerical modeling of the dynamics of recently developed electromagnetic valve actuator. The decoupled modelling approach is employed consisting of three-dimensional finite element analysis of the magnetic field of the actuator and solution of the dynamics equations on the basis of functions obtained from the magnetic field analysis. For the finite element analysis ANSYS prog...

In this paper, the architecture, processing errors analysis and optimization method of a dual-mass silicon micro-gyroscope are presented. The dual-mass silicon micro-gyroscope consists of two identical single mass gyroscopes and a lever mechanism. Driving decoupling springs and sensing decoupling springs are key components to achieve motion decoupling. The processing error analysis indicates th...

Efficient numerical methods are required for the design of optimised devices. In magnonics, primary computational tool is micromagnetic simulations, which solve Landau-Lifshitz equation discretised in time and space. However, their cost high, complexity output hinders insight into physics simulated system, especially case multimode propagating wave-based We propose a finite-element modal method...

The paper presents the theoretical basis for modal analysis of a general nonconservative system. The modal analysis uses only real modes in terms of the displacements as well as velocity coordinates and converts the system to a real, uncoupled, second-order form. This is the first time that such a transformation has been presented in the literature. Earlier works presented modal analysis in the...

The output data from a structure is the building block for output-only modal analysis. The structure response in the output data, however, is usually contaminated with noise. Naturally, the success of output-only methods in determining the modal parameters of a structure depends on noise level. In this paper, the possibility and accuracy of identifying the modal parameters of a simply supported...
