Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a novel combustion strategy for IC engines that exhibits dramatic decreases in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Originally conceived in 1979, the HCCI methodology has been revisited several times by industry but has yet to be implemented because the process is difficult to control. To help address these control challenges, the authors here outline the first generalizable, validated, and experimentally implemented physics-based control methodology for residual-affected HCCI engines. Specifically, the paper describes the formulation and validation of a two-input, two-state control-oriented system model of the residual-affected HCCI process occurring in a single engine cylinder. The combustion timing and peak pressure are the model states, while the inducted gas composition and effective compression ratio are the model inputs. The resulting model accurately captures the system dynamics and allows the simultaneous, coordinated control of both in-cylinder pressure and combustion timing. To demonstrate this, an H2 optimal controller is synthesized from a linearized version of the model and used to dictate step changes in both combustion timing and peak pressure within about four to five engine cycles on an experimental test bed. The application of control also results in reductions in the standard deviation for both combustion timing and peak pressure. The approach therefore provides accurate mean tracking, as well as a reduction in cyclic dispersion. Another benefit of the simultaneous coordination of both control inputs is a reduction in the control effort required to elicit the desired response. Instead of using a peak pressure controller that must compensate for the effects of a combustion timing controller, and vice versa, the coordinated approach optimizes the use of both control inputs to regulate both outputs.

This paper presents the modeling and control of a nano/micro-manipulator for use in nano-fiber grasping and nano-fabric production. The RRP (Revolute-Revolute-Prismatic) manipulator considered here utilizes two rotational motors with 10-7 rad resolution and one linear Nanomotor® with 0.25nm resolution. Weighing just 30g and having short lever arms (<5cm), the manipulator is capable of achieving well-behaved kinematic characteristics without backlash and with atomic scale precision to guarantee accurate manipulation at nanoscale. A mathematical model of the micromanipulator is formulated and both direct and inverse kinematics of the system as well as dynamic equations are presented. Several controllers for manipulator positioning tracking are derived and analyzed extensively. Unlike typical macroscale manipulator models and controllers, the controller development is not trivial due to nanoscale movement and forces, coupled with unmodeled dynamics and nonlinear structural dynamics. Following the development of the controllers, numerical simulations of the proposed controllers on the manipulator are used to verify the tracking performance.

This technical brief addresses the dynamic modeling and control methodology to suppress structural deflections of industrial robotic manipulators featuring elastic members retrofitted with surface bonded piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The dynamic modeling is accomplished by developing a finite element formulation. The governing equation of motion is then modified by condensing the electric potential vectors, and subsequently two different feedback controllers are established: a constantgain feedback controller and a constant-amplitude feedback controller. Computer simulations are undertaken in order to demonstrate the superior performance characteristics, such as smaller deflections at the end-effector, to be accrued from the proposed methodology.

Lattice converters combine the merits of both cascaded-bridge converters and multi-paralleled converters, leading to infinitely large current and voltage capabilities with modularity and scalability as well as small passive components. However, lattice converters suffer from complexity, which poses a serious threat to their widespread adoption. By use of graph theory, this article proposes a unified modeling and control methodology for various lattice converters, resulting in the satisfaction of their key control objectives, including selected inputs/outputs, desired voltages, current sharing, dynamic voltage balancing, and performance optimization. In addition, this article proposes a plurality of novel lattice converter topologies, which complement state-of-the-art options. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed methodology and lattice converters.
