Torsional systems with clearance-type nonlinearities have inherent vibratory problems such as gear rattle. Such vibro-impacts generally occur on the unloaded gear pairs of a vehicle correlated with the firing excitation of an engine. This study investigates the gear rattle phenomena on unloaded gear pairs with different excitation conditions and various system parameters. First, a linear time-invariant system model with six degrees of freedom is constructed and then a numerical analysis is applied to the gear rattle motion. Smoothening factors for clutch stiffness and hysteresis are employed for the stability of numerical simulations. Second, the dynamic characteristics of vibro-impacts are studied by examining the fast Fourier transform (FFT) components of the gear mesh force in a high frequency range. The effects of various system parameters on the vibro-impacts are examined using a nonlinear system model. Finally, the vibro-impacts, in terms of “single-sided” and “double-sided” impacts, are identified in phase planes.

We design adaptive algorithms for both cancellation and estimation of unknown periodic disturbance, by feedback of state--derivatives ( i.e.,} without position information for mechanical systems) for the plants which are modeled as a linear time invariant system. We consider a series of unmatched unknown sinusoidal signals as the disturbance.The first step of the design consists of the parametrization of the disturbance model and the development of observer filters.The result obtained in this step allows us to use adaptive control techniques for the solution of the problem.In order to handle the unmatched condition, a backstepping technique is employed. Since the partial measurement of the virtual inputs is not available, we design a state observer and the estimates of these signals are used in the backstepping design.Finally, the stability of the equilibrium of the adaptive closed loop system with the convergence of states is proven.As a numerical example, a two-degree of freedom system is considered and the effectiveness of the algorithms are shown.

This paper presents a new general framework for adaptive event-triggered control strategy to extend average inter-event interval, while maintaining the performance of the system. The proposed event-triggering mechanism is acquired from input to state stability conditions, which is defined in terms of system states as well as an adaptation parameter. Under the Lipschitz assumption, a positive lower bound on sampling durations is also established that is essential to restrain the Zeno behavior. Applying the proposed method to linear time-invariant systems, leads to sufficient conditions to guarantee asymptotic stability in the form of matrix inequalities. Moreover, it is shown that there exist more degrees of freedom to improve the performance criterion from theoretical aspects. Finally, in order to show capability of the proposed method and its better performance compared with some recent works, numerical simulations are presented.

Adaptive and non-adaptive minimal realization (MR) fractional order observers (FOO) for linear time-invariant systems (LTIS) of a possibly different derivation order (mixed order observers, MOO) are studied in this paper. Conditions on the convergence and robustness are provided using a general framework which allows observing systems defined with any type of fractional order derivative (FOD). A qualitative discussion is presented to show that the derivation orders of the observer structure and for the parameter adjustment are relevant degrees of freedom for performance optimization. A control problem is developed to illustrate the application of the proposed observers.

Predicting the effects of changes in dissolved input concentration on the variability of discharge concentration at the outlet of the catchment is essential to improve our ability to address the problem of surface water quality. The goal of this study is therefore dedicated to the stochastic quantification of temporal variability of concentration fields in outflow from a catchment system that exhibits linearity and time invariance. A convolution integral is used to determine the output of a linear time-invariant system from knowledge of the input and the transfer function. This work considers that the nonstationary input concentration time series of an inert solute to the catchment system can be characterized completely by the Langevin equation. The closed-form expressions for the variances of inflow and outflow concentrations at the catchment scale are derived using the Fourier–Stieltjes representation approach. The variance is viewed as an index of temporal variability. The closed-form expressions therefore allow to evaluate the impacts of the controlling parameters on the temporal variability of outflow concentration.
