control of well drilling operations poses a challenging issue to be tackled. the loss of well control could lead to the occurrence of blowout as a severe threat, involving the risk of human lives and environmental and economic consequences. conventional proportional-integral (pi) controller is a common practice in the well control operation. the small existing margin between pore pressure and f...

this paper introduces an indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller as a power system stabilizer for damping local and inter-area modes of oscillations of multi-machine power systems. this controller is designed based on the combination of sliding mode controller and the fuzzy logic systems. the fuzzy systems are used to approximate the unknown functions of power system model. generator sp...

accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. as a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: mit, direct estimation and indirect estimation. these approaches are used as controllers to track refe...

in this paper, the enhancement of vehicle stability and handling is investigated by control of the active geometry suspension system (ags). this system could be changed through control of suspension mounting point’s position in the perpendicular direction to wishbone therefore the dynamic is alternative and characteristics need to change. for this purpose, suitable controller needs to change mo...

in recent years, underactuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has become a major field of interest due to the complexity and high computational load of these systems. hierarchical sliding mode control has been investigated recently for these systems; however, the instability phenomena will possibly occur, especia...

this paper presents fuzzy and conventional performance of model reference adaptive control(mrac) to control a dc drive. the aims of this work are achieving better match of motor speed with reference speed, decrease of noises under load changes and disturbances, and increase of system stability. the operation of nonadaptive control and the model reference of fuzzy and conventional adaptive contr...

this paper presents a novel indirect adaptive power system stabilizer (pss) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. the synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

a mobile manipulator robot is known as a complex system due to some properties such as coupling between the manipulator and mobile chassis, holonomic and nonholonomic constraints, multivariable and nonlinear dynamics. the control of robot faces the external disturbance, parametric uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics. therefore, the use of an adaptive fuzzy system is suggested for its capability ...
