The Quasi-static test is a well-known powerful methodology to evaluate the seismic performance of structural components and systems. One of the most important challenges in the Quasi-static testing is to achieve precise boundary conditions, especially for the axial loading of vertical components. The requirement of synchronized displacement loading and target axial force formed a pair of contradiction. A dual-loop force-displacement mixed control strategy is proposed. The presented approach is successfully verified through the quasi-static testing for a full-scale concrete filled steel tube column. The control targets are achieved with an excellent control performance.

In this article, a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) micro-vibration platform (6-MVP) based on the Gough–Stewart configuration is designed to reproduce the 6-DOF micro-vibration that occurs at the installation surfaces of sensitive space-based instruments such as large space optical loads and laser communications equipment. The platform’s dynamic model is simplified because of the small displacement characteristics of micro-vibrations. By considering the multifrequency line spectrum characteristics of micro-vibrations and the parameter uncertainties, an iterative feedback control strategy based on a frequency response model is designed, and the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by performing integrated simulations. Finally, micro-vibration experiments are performed with a 10 kg load on the platform. The results of these micro-vibration experiments show that after several iterations, the amplitude control errors are less than 3% and the phase control errors are less than 1°. The control strategy presented in this article offers the advantages of a simple algorithm and high precision and it can also be used to control other similar micro-vibration platforms.

<p>One of the most efficient approaches to control a multiple degree-of-freedom robot manipulator is the virtual decomposition control (VDC). However, the use of the re- gressor technique in the conventionnal VDC to estimate the unknown and uncertaities parameters present some limitations. In this paper, a new control strategy of n-DoF robot manipulator, refering to reorganizing the equation of the VDC using the time delay estimation (TDE) have been investigated. In the proposed controller, the VDC equations are rearranged using the TDE for unknown dynamic estimations. Hence, the decoupling dynamic model for the manipulator is established. The stability of the overall system is proved based on Lyapunov theory. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is proved via case study performed on 7-DoF robot manipulator and com- pared to the conventionnal Regressor-based VDC according to some evalution criteria. The results carry out the validity and efficiency of the proposed time delay estimation- based virtual decomposition controller (TD-VDC) approach.</p>

This work examines the design of legs for a walking microrobot. The parameterized force-displacement relationships of planar serpentine flexure-based two degree-of-freedom legs are analyzed. An analytical model based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is developed to explore the design space, and is subsequently refined to include contact between adjacent beams. This is used to determine a successful leg geometry given dimensional constraints and actuator limitations. Standard comb drive actuators that output 100 μN of force over a 15 μm bi-directional throw are shown able to drive a walking gait with three legs on a 1 cm2 silicon die microrobot. If the comb drive suspensions cannot withstand the generated reaction moments, an alternate pivot-based leg linkage is proposed.

The stability of grazing bifurcation is lost in three ways through the local analysis of the near-grazing dynamics using the classical concept of discontinuity mappings in the two-degree-of-freedom vibroimpact system with symmetrical constraints. For this instability problem, a control strategy for the stability of grazing bifurcation is presented by controlling the persistence of local attractors near the grazing trajectory in this vibroimpact system with symmetrical constraints. Discrete-in-time feedback controllers designed on two Poincare sections are employed to retain the existence of an attractor near the grazing trajectory. The implementation relies on the stability criterion under which a local attractor persists near a grazing trajectory. Based on the stability criterion, the control region of the two parameters is obtained and the control strategy for the persistence of near-grazing attractors is designed accordingly. Especially, the chaos near codimension-two grazing bifurcation points was controlled by the control strategy. In the end, the results of numerical simulation are used to verify the feasibility of the control method.

This research was conducted to study the control strategy of manipulator based on clarifying the force control mechanism of the human hand-arm by analyzing human constraint tasks with respect to biomechanism. In this paper; we describe an investigation of hand-arm function share. In addition, we apply hand-arm coordination to manipulator control using experimental results of analyzing the human tasks of moving bead balls on a shaft, which is an example of a constraint task with one degree of freedom (d.o.f.). In the human motion analysis, 6 axes of force on the task object are measured and compared in the case of constraining the hands degree of freedom and making hand free as well as in the case of with or without forced displacement along the translational direction during motion. As a result, we found that human work was performed smoothly through absorption of rotational force using hand d.o.f. and translational force using arm d.o.f. Also, it was found that there are the direction of motion and the posture easily absorbable translational force. Finally, we propose to apply the human hand-arm coordination compliance control strategy setting translational compliance by arms and rotational compliance by hands, to manipulator with more than 7 degrees of freedom. Thus, the setting of optional compliance applicable to circumstance and the resulting force control due to this become possible.

Based on the analysis of the model of the Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDF) magnetic bearing system, the issue of design and simulation of PD control strategy in the system is investigated. First, the plant model of the AMB (Active Magnetic Bearings) with Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDF) is found out to be unstable plant. Then, based on the root locus theory and Routh stability criteria, the necessity of derivation action in the controller is analyzed.In addition, the PD control strategy for a particular plant is designed, the effectiveness of which is validated by the given simulation examples. The proposed approach can provide an important reference for the practical application of PD control strategy in the magnetic bearing system.
