Steel Frame Structure

This work focuses on the issues to deal with when approaching experimental testing of structures equipped with semiactive control (SA) systems. It starts from practical experience authors gained in a recent wide campaign on a large scale steel frame structure provided with a control system based on magnetorheological dampers. The latter are special devices able to achieve a wide range of physical behaviours using low-power electrical currents. Experimental activities involving the use of controllable devices require special attention in solving specific aspects that characterize each of the three phases of the SA control loop: acquisition, processing, and command. Most of them are uncommon to any other type of structural testing. This paper emphasizes the importance of the experimental assessment of SA systems and shows how many problematic issues likely to happen in real applications are also present when testing these systems experimentally. This paper highlights several problematic aspects and illustrates how they can be addressed in order to achieve a more realistic evaluation of the effectiveness of SA control solutions. Undesired and unavoidable effects like delays and control malfunction are also remarked. A discussion on the way to reduce their incidence is also offered.

Static and dynamic characteristics of the honeycomb paperboard with different size and structure are mechanics research priorities. Study on its mechanical characteristics of the basic way is the basic mechanical properties testing by loading testing machine. In order to get the stability of compressive strength of honeycomb paperboard, compressive strength of honeycomb paperboard models should be tested. Based on the existing equipment, new equipment has been made with new hydraulic systems and control programmes, control accuracy and method has been analyzed. Experimental testing results have shown that the device is credible, and its precision meets to the design requirements. The honeycomb paperboard testing machine not only provides a high pressure range and flexible control equipment, but provides a function of testing sample size effects.

Future Work

This work presents results of an initial investigation into models and control strategies suitable to prevent vehicle rollover due to untripped driving maneuvers. Outside of industry, the study of vehicle rollover inclusive of both experimental validation and practical controller design is limited. The researcher interested in initiating study on rollover dynamics and control is left with the challenging task of identifying suitable vehicle models from the literature, comparing these models with experimental results, and determining suitable parameters for the models. This work addresses these issues via experimental testing of published models. Parameter estimation data based on model fits is presented, with commentary given on the validity of different methods. Experimental results are then presented and compared to the output predicted by the various models in both the time and frequency domain in order to provide a foundation for future work.

An Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) is a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) that consists of a bottom-hinged flap which oscillates due to wave action. Extensive research has been performed on this type of WEC through small scale experimental wave tank tests. One of the key challenges of experimental testing is replicating the characteristics of the Power Take-Off (PTO) system of the equivalent full scale WEC. Many scale models rely on simplified mechanical designs to simulate a PTO system. This can often restrict the experimental research into the influence of PTO design and control strategies of WECs. In order to model PTO systems and control strategies more accurately other tools are needed. This paper describes the design and build of a PLC controlled Force Feedback Dynamometer (FFD) system that enables the testing of more sophisticated control strategies applicable to an OWSC through fast application of a variable PTO damping torque. A PLC system is shown to be a viable control for PTO strategy investigations through velocity triggered damping levels. Examples of both PTO and position control strategies are presented.

Due to their high performance when executing high-speed and accurate tasks, parallel robots have became the focus of many researchers and companies. However, exploiting the full potential of these robots requires a correct mechatronic design, in which the designed mechanism has to be controlled by a suitable control law in order to achieve the maximum performance. In this paper a novel Validation and Control Environment (VALIDBOT) is proposed as a support for the control design and experimental testing stages of these robots. The proposed open and flexible environment is designed to meet rapid prototyping requirements, offering a high level framework for both students and researchers. The capabilities of the environment are illustrated with an application case based on a 5R parallel robot prototype in which a modified CTC controller is tested.

In this study, we used two tunable vibration absorbers composed of shape memory alloy to reduce vibration of a platform structure. The natural frequency of the shape memory alloy absorber can be tuned online using a fuzzy logic controller to change the axial force of the shape memory alloy wires through phase transformation. In addition, we employed the finite element method to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the multimode platform structure and to evaluate the effectiveness of the shape memory alloy vibration absorber in terms of platform vibration attenuation. Experimental testing of the platform structure was conducted to verify its modal characteristics. By setting the two shape memory alloy tunable vibration absorbers on two adjacent sides of the platform at 90 degrees to each other and offset from the platform’s center axes, it is shown that all six modes can be covered for vibration absorption. The experiments show that the vibration due to all six mode modal excitations can be attenuated by more than 7.49 dB using the shape memory alloy tunable vibration absorber. Specifically, at the fourth, fifth, and sixth resonant modes, an average of 16.68 dB vibration suppression is observed. Overall, an average of 12.69 dB vibration suppression is achieved for resonant excitation of the entire platform structure when using the designed shape memory alloy tunable vibration absorber.
