in this paper, the consequences of well-known characteristics of near-fault ground motions, forward directivity and fling step, on the seismic response control is investigated. an integrated fuzzy rule-based control strategy for building structures incorporated with semi active friction damping system with amplifying braces (fdsab) is developed. the membership functions and fuzzy rules of fuzzy...

In this paper modeling of an inverted pendulum is done using Euler – Lagrange energy equation for stabilization of the pendulum. The controller gain is evaluated through state feedback and Linear Quadratic optimal regulator controller techniques and also the results for both the controller are compared. The SFB controller is designed by Pole-Placement technique. An advantage of Quadratic Contro...

Non-linear characteristic of tire forces is the main cause of vehicle lateral dynamics instability, while direct yaw moment control is an effective method to recover the vehicle stability. In this paper, an optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller for roll-yaw dynamics to articulated heavy vehicles is developed. For this purpose, the equations of motion obtained by the MATLAB sof...

This paper deals with the study and comparison of passive and active landing gear system of  the aircraft and dynamic responses due to runway irregularities while the aircraft is taxying. The dynamic load and vibration caused by the unevenness of runway will result in airframe fatigue, discomfort of passengers and the reduction of the pilot’s ability to control the aircraft. One of the objectiv...

This paper considers application of L1 adaptive output feedback controller to a missile longitudinal autopilot design. The proposed adaptive controller has satisfactory performance in the presence of parametric uncertainties and time-varying disturbances. Simulations demonstrate the benefits of the control method and compare the results to Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and Linear Quadratic G...

This research deals to introduce a new method for generalizing the well-famed Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) in granting robustness of Feedback linearization on nonlinear systems. In this new scheme, first applying feedback linearization, with selecting operating points in domain of system parameter's variations, nonlinear systems replaced with linear systems, then robust controller is desi...

An unmanned free-swimming submersible (UFSS) is designed to perform certain tasks in water without interposing humans. The vehicle’s control achieved by integrating mathematical (analog) and non-mathematical (embedded) controllers. main goal of integrated controllers overcome the environmental disturbances noise sensor data. These disturbances, as well data, are generated during steering, divin...
