This paper studies the effect of time delay on the active non-linear control of dynamically loaded flexible structures. The behavior of non-linear systems under state feedback control, considering a fixed time delay for the control force, is investigated. A control method based o...

The industrial process control has suffered significant changes due to pressures associated with increased competition, rapid changes in economic conditions and stricter environmental laws, thereby promoting its modernization in chemical plants. Therefore, more sophisticated cont...

Resumen En este artículo se analiza de forma crítica el proceso de transformación del sistema mexicano de control jurisdiccional de constitucionalidad y convencionalidad y su adaptación a los estándares del Sistema Interamericano de control difuso de convencionalidad, luego de la...

This work presents theoretical and experimental study of a system of control for a steam generator. This system was developed to control the crystallization of a cooling system for absorption. The control system maintains the pressure generator above the zone of crystallization o...

ABSTRACT According to motion characteristic of an asymmetric rolling missile with damage fin, a three-channel controlled model is established. The controller which is used to realize non-linear tracking and decoupling control of the roll and angle motion is introduced based on an...

Nonlinear-dynamical control techniques, also known as chaos control, have been used with great success to control a wide range of physical systems. Such techniques have been used to control the behavior of in vitro excitable biological tissue, suggesting their potential for c...

This work proposes a tracking control model for a flexible link robotic manipulator using simultaneously motor torques and piezoelectric actuators. The dynamic model of manipulator is obtained in a closed form through the Lagrangian approach. The control uses the motor torques fo...

Abstract A restrictive view of self-control identifies exercises of self-control with synchronic intrapsychic processes, and pictures diachronic and externally-scaffolded strategies not as proper instances of self-control, but as clever ways of avoiding the need to exercise that ...

Este trabajo tiene como objetivos principales la presentación, análisis y síntesis de sistemas de control por realimentación de salidas con características robustas. Son consideradas incertidumbres en el modelo del tipo no extructurada (dinámica no modelada) y extructurada (valor...

In this paper, linear quadratic optial control probles are solved by applying least square method based on Bézier control points. We divide the interval which includes t, into k subintervals and approximate the trajectory and control functions by Bézier curves. We have chosen the...

This work presents a comparative study between four different sliding mode variable structure control strategies (SMVSC) applied to autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) positioning in 6 DOF, under the influence of wind, waves and marine currents. The addressed strategies are the ...

An Autonomous Mobile Robot battery driven, with two traction wheels and a steering wheel is being developed. This Robot central control is regulated by an IPC, which controls every function of security, steering, positioning localization and driving. Each traction wheel is operat...

Abstract If process is running for a long period in an in-control condition, it will reach in a steady-state condition. In order to study the long term properties of a control chart, it is appropriate to investigate the steady-state average time to signal. In this article, we dis...

This work presents thorough a supervision and control system project of a heat exchanger, from the experimental tests for the mathematical model rising to the control system implementation and supervision in a microcomputer. The implemented system consists of didactic software an...

ABSTRACT The control chart introduced by Shewhart is one of the most important quality control techniques used to detect special causes. Real world data are complicated to interpret since they involve a certain level of uncertainty that may be linked to human subjectivity or meas...

A brief sketch is given of the development of the understanding of the respiratory mechanism in plants over the past 50 years. Against this background the following aspects of control are discussed: (a) nonreversibility of catabolic sequences; (b) compartmentation of reactions an...

The white mold of soybean, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is causing great damage to the soybean crop in Brazil. It is a polyphagous fungus hard to control because it produces resistance structures called sclerotia, which can remain viable in the soil for several years. Aimi...

The advances in aeronautical industry have been ensured by the application of novel technologies. For aeroelastic control the intelligent structure concept has become increasingly important. An intelligent structure is a structural control system in which structural elements, sen...

This study shows the implantation of techniques of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in a cosmetics industry, in a situation in which conventional techniques are not applicable. The process to be controlled is composed of eight streams, which produce eight units of the product at...

ABSTRACT In this study, an improved cooperative integrated guidance and control (IGC) design method is proposed based on distributed networks to address the guidance and control problem of multiple interceptor missiles. An IGC model for a leading interceptor is constructed based ...

A 10-laboratory collaborative effort was designed to generate data to propose quality control limits for susceptibility tests of trovafloxacin. Broth microdilution, agar dilution, and disk diffusion tests were evaluated with eight different control strains. All tests were reprodu...
