This paper presents a method that the author has developed to teach students about the need for feedback control and to facilitate the understanding of controller implementation. The initial discussion focuses on the limitations of open-loop control to improve performance of the traditional mass-spring-damper system. The key contribution is the introduction of an enhanced mass-spring-damper system with a position sensor and force generator, resulting in voltages as system input and output. This enhanced system provides a foundation for discussion of basic feedback control strategies such as PID-Control in addition to advanced controls concepts. The analysis is provided in time-domain to facilitate the understanding of these important controls concepts.

The synchronization for two k-valued logical networks of the same dimensions is studied in this paper. First, based on the theory of semi-tensor product of matrices, the master-slave systems (two k-valued logical networks) are converted into discrete-time systems. Second, both open-loop control and feedback control are provided to make the slave network synchronize with the master k-valued logical network. Finally, examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results.

This work explores experimentally the control of a turbulent boundary layer over a flat plate based on wall perturbation generated by piezo-ceramic actuators. Different schemes are investigated, including the feed-forward, the feedback, and the combined feed-forward and feedback strategies, with a view to suppressing the near-wall high-speed events and hence reducing skin friction drag. While the strategies may achieve a local maximum drag reduction slightly less than their counterpart of the open-loop control, the corresponding duty cycles are substantially reduced when compared with that of the open-loop control. The results suggest a good potential to cut down the input energy under these control strategies. The fluctuating velocity, spectra, Taylor microscale and mean energy dissipation are measured across the boundary layer with and without control and, based on the measurements, the flow mechanism behind the control is proposed.

Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment

In this paper we consider a four-dimensional bioreactor model, describing an anaerobic wastewater treatment with methane production. Different control strategies for stabilizing the dynamics are presented and discussed. A general and practice-oriented bounded open-loop control is proposed, aimed to steer the model solutions towards an a priori given set in thephase plane.

This paper presents a novel approach to manipulation and assembly of micro-scale objects using a chip-scale multi-fingered micromanipulator, in which multiple, independently controlled compliant fingers coordinate with each other to grasp and manipulate multiple objects simultaneously on-chip. The structural and functional advantages of this multi-fingered micromanipulator in achieving high dexterity in a compact form as compared to other state-of-the-art manipulation tools are discussed. A formulation of the kinematics of the manipulator’s compliant fingers along with two different control strategies including an operator-driven closed-loop control and a semi-autonomous open-loop control for coordinated manipulation and on-chip assembly of micro-scale objects are introduced. Finally, the details of implementation of both control strategies and successful experimental demonstration of manipulations and assembly of two interlocking micro-scale parts with sub-micron mating clearance using the multifingered manipulator are presented.

Delay Feedback Control

The kinematic model of an infinitely variable transmission (IVT) is introduced, and the nonlinear differential equation for the dynamic model of the IVT system with a permanent magnetic direct current (DC) motor and a magnetic brake is derived. To make the average of the input speed converge to a desired constant for any input power and output load, an integral time-delay feedback control combined with an open-loop control is used to adjust the speed ratio of the IVT. The speed ratio for the open-loop control is obtained by a modified incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method. Existence and convergence of a periodic solution are proved under a condition for parameters of the IVT system, and uniqueness of the periodic solution is proved by converting the nonlinear differential equation to a new differential equation that is Lipchitz in the dependent variable and piecewise continuous in the independent variable. A time-delay variable that is an approximation of the average of the input speed is used as the feedback to control the changing rate of the speed ratio. The IVT system with the time-delay control variable can be converted to a distributed-parameter system. Thus, the spectral Tau method is used to design the time-delay feedback control so that the IVT system is locally exponentially stable. The static error from the open-loop control is eliminated; the feedback control variable with time-delay is smoother than that without time-delay, which yields a lower control effort and more robust control design, since the time-delay variable that acts as a low-pass filter reduces the effect of the instantaneous change of the IVT system.
