Track assemblies are widely used to reduce vehicles’ ground pressure and improve their off-road performance. During off-road, the track tension has a significant effect on the performance of the crawler driving system. Previous control strategies only make use of the motions of partial road wheels. This paper develops a logical improvement to govern the motion of the track tensioner by using all road wheels. First, a dynamic model of the hydraulic-mechanism coupling system is established using the transfer matrix method for multibody systems and pressure-flow equations. Then, in order to get the angle of the idler arm, a modeling method of wheel envelope perimeter is developed, which is based on the locations of all wheels. Simulation results indicate that the control system maintains the wheel envelope perimeter almost constant while road wheels swing and decrease the possibility of peel-off and breakage of the track. It alleviates the track repeated stretch and keeps the tension in a stable range to reduce the fatigue damage. The control strategy can effectively reduce the peak value of the upper track tension during a vehicle passing through obstacles. This study suggests that the active track tensioning system can be implemented to improve the driving properties of tracked vehicles.

The modeling and control of a wind energy conversion system based on the Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG is the discussed theme in this paper. The purpose of this system was to control active and reactive power converted; this control is ensured thanks to the control of the two converters. The proposed control strategies are controlled by PI regulators and the sliding mode technique. In the present work a comparison of the robustness of the 2 controls of the grid side converter (GSC) during a voltage dip is shown. The simulation is carried out using the Matlab/Simulink software with a 300 kW generator.

This paper presents comprehensive and unified strategies to model, analyze, and control flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) in an uncertain and dynamic environment using Petri Net (PN) based modeling. The proposed methodology enables PN models to accept and assimilate online data at execution time. A measurement system consisting of distributed sensory sources suitable for manufacturing processes is designed and an interface is developed of that system with the modeling software (SHARPE) and MATLAB's Simulink to enable realtime data acquisition and processing. The proposed strategies enable online parameter estimation to impart adaptive and intelligent learning capabilities to PN models.
