Travelling cable system : apparatus development, system modeling, and vibration control
(2005)
The vibration of axially moving materials with arbitrarily varying length has received
increased attention due to both the interesting behaviours of such systems and the many
applications such as deep mine hoisting ...
Robust and adaptive control via backstepping technique
(2005)
Most of the control systems are designed using linear techniques, which have been
well developed. Practical physical systems are typically nonlinear. Nonlinear control
is one of the biggest challenges in modern control ...
Control of lateral vibration of an axially moving cantilever beam using piezoelectric actuators
(2005)
A typical example of an axially moving cantilever beam is flexible robotic manipulators with
prism atic joints. The model governing lateral vibration of such system is time-varying. Time-varying
systems pose significant ...
Design and implementation of a tunable vibration absorber and a time-delayed vibration absorber
(2005)
Includes studies of a tunable electromagnetic vibration absorber and a time-delayed vibration absorber.
Efficient analysis of oscillators with multiple time dimensions
(2005)
Harmonic Balance (H B ) analysis is an established technique for the analysis of nonlinear
circuits. In this thesis, we present a method to find the transient and steady-state behavior of
oscillators based on a harmonic ...
Vision-based trajectory tracking algorithm with obstacle avoidance for a wheeled mobile robot
(2005)
Wheeled mobile robots are becoming increasingly important in industry as means of
transportation, inspection, and operation because of their efficiency and flexibility.
The design of efficient algorithms for autonomous ...
