Small amplitude, transverse vibration of a circular disk can be viewed as a superposition of travelling waves each wave corresponding to a particular vibration mode. When the plate damping is small, the transverse motion of the plate is often dominated by response in one mode [1]. The active control method discussed here used an on-line FFT analysis of the rotating disk displacement to periodically identify the dominant mode of the disk response in a changing operating environment. Active control forces were applied electromagnetically to the disk to suppress the amplitude of that particular mode. In laboratory tests, the prototype controller reduced the modal amplitude to less than 15 percent of the uncontrolled value. Analytical predictions correlated well with these laboratory observations.

In traditional active flutter control, piezoelectric materials are used to increase the stiffness of the aeroelastic structure by providing an active stiffness, and usually the active stiffness matrix is symmetric. That is to say that the active stiffness not only cannot offset the influence of the aerodynamic stiffness which is an asymmetric matrix, but also will affect the natural frequency of the structural system. In other words, by traditional active flutter control method, the flutter bound can just be moved backward but cannot be eliminated. In this investigation, a new active flutter control method which can suppress the flutter effectively and without affecting the natural frequency of the structural system is proposed by exerting active control forces on some discrete points of the structure. In the structural modeling, the Kirchhoff plate theory and supersonic piston theory are applied. From the numerical results, it can be noted that the present control method is effective on the flutter suppression, and the control effects will be better if more active control forces are exerted. After being controlled by the present control method, the natural frequency of the structure remains unchanged.

In high-speed fluid dynamics, base pressure controls find many engineering applications, such as in the automobile and defense industries. Several studies have been reported on flow control with sudden expansion duct. Passive control was found to be more beneficial in the last four decades and is used in devices such as cavities, ribs, aerospikes, etc., but these need additional control mechanics and objects to control the flow. Therefore, in the last two decades, the active control method has been used via a microjet controller at the base region of the suddenly expanded duct of the convergent–divergent (CD) nozzle to control the flow, which was found to be a cost-efficient and energy-saving method. Hence, in this paper, a systemic literature review is conducted to investigate the research gap by reviewing the exhaustive work on the active control of high-speed aerodynamic flows from the nozzle as the major focus. Additionally, a basic idea about the nozzle and its configuration is discussed, and the passive control method for the control of flow, jet and noise are represented in order to investigate the existing contributions in supersonic speed applications. A critical review of the last two decades considering the challenges and limitations in this field is expressed. As a contribution, some major and minor gaps are introduced, and we plot the research trends in this field. As a result, this review can serve as guidance and an opportunity for scholars who want to use an active control approach via microjets for supersonic flow problems.

Extensive research efforts have been made to address the motion control of rigid-link electrically-driven (RLED) robots in literature. However, most existing results were designed in joint space and need to be converted to task space as more and more control tasks are defined in their operational space. In this work, the direct task-space regulation of RLED robots with uncertain kinematics is studied by using neural networks (NN) technique. Radial basis function (RBF) neural networks are used to estimate complicated and calibration heavy robot kinematics and dynamics. The NN weights are updated on-line through two adaptation laws without the necessity of off-line training. Compared with most existing NN-based robot control results, the novelty of the proposed method lies in that asymptotic stability of the overall system can be achieved instead of just uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) stability. Moreover, the proposed control method can tolerate not only the actuator dynamics uncertainty but also the uncertainty in robot kinematics by adopting an adaptive Jacobian matrix. The asymptotic stability of the overall system is proven rigorously through Lyapunov analysis. Numerical studies have been carried out to verify efficiency of the proposed method.

Time Delay Effect

The time delay between measuring the structural response, and applying the designed active control forces may affect the controlled response of the structure if not taken into consideration. In this paper it is shown how to design the control forces to compensate for the delay effect. It is also shown that the time delay effect can be used as a criterion to judge the effectiveness of the proposed control mechanism. As an illustration of the theoretical consideration, a numerical example in which a tall building is controlled by means of active tendons is presented.

We study the control effect for a 20-story benchmark building and apply passive or semi-active control devices to the building. First, the viscous damping wall is selected as a passive control device which consists of two outer plates and one inner plate, facing each other with a small gap filled with viscous fluid. The damping force depends on the interstory velocity, temperature and the shearing area. Next, the variable oil damper is selected as a semi-active control device which can produce the control forces by little electrical power. We propose a damper model in which the damping coefficient changes according to both the response of the damper and control forces based on an LQG feedback and feedforward control theory. It is demonstrated from the results of a series of simulations that the both passive device and semi-active device can effectively reduce the response of the structure in various earthquake motions.

SummaryIn disassembly tasks, due to the large variety of objects and the different positions and orientations in which they appear, the disassembly trajectories supplied on-line by a human operator or an automatic recognition system can contain large errors. The classical compliant control methods turn out to be insufficient to eliminate sticking which is due to these errors. This paper presents a compliant control method for disassembly of non-elastic parts in non-elastic environments which adopts the trajectories according to realised motion. In case of sticking a new direction of motion is searched for until the manipulated part is set into motion.
