The exact stability condition for certain class of fractional-order (multivalued) transfer functions is presented. Unlike the conventional case that the stability is directly studied by investigating the poles of the transfer function, in the systems under consideration, the branch points must also come into account as another kind of singularities. It is shown that a multivalued transfer function can behave unstably because of the numerator term while it has no unstable poles. So, in this case, not only the characteristic equation but the numerator term is of significant importance. In this manner, a family of unstable fractional-order transfer functions is introduced which exhibit essential instabilities, that is, those which cannot be removed by feedback. Two illustrative examples are presented; the transfer function of which has no unstable poles but the instability occurred because of the unstable branch points of the numerator term. The effect of unstable branch points is studied and simulations are presented.

The history of fractional calculus dates back to 1600s and it is almost as old as classical mathematics. Although many studies have been published on fractional-order control systems in recent years, there is still a lack of analytical solutions. The focus of this study is to obtain analytical solutions for fractional order transfer functions with a single fractional element and unity coefficient. Approximate inverse Laplace transformation, that is, time response of the basic transfer function, is obtained analytically for the fractional order transfer functions with single-fractional-element by curve fitting method. Obtained analytical equations are tabulated for some fractional orders of [Formula: see text]. Moreover, a single function depending on fractional order alpha has been introduced for the first time using a table for [Formula: see text]. By using this table, approximate inverse Laplace transform function is obtained in terms of any fractional order of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. Obtained analytic equations offer accurate results in computing inverse Laplace transforms. The accuracy of the method is supported by numerical examples in this study. Also, the study sets the basis for the higher fractional-order systems that can be decomposed into a single (simpler) fractional order systems.

AbstractThe elementary fractional-order models are the extension of first and second order models which have been widely used in various engineering fields. Some important properties of commensurate or a few particular kinds of non-commensurate elementary fractional-order transfer functions have already been discussed in the existing studies. However, most of them are only available for one particular kind elementary fractional-order system. In this paper, the stability and resonance analysis of a general kind non-commensurate elementary fractional-order system is presented. The commensurate-order restriction is fully released. Firstly, based on Nyquist’s Theorem, the stability conditions are explored in details under different conditions, namely different combinations of pseudo-damping (ζ) factor values and order parameters. Then, resonance conditions are established in terms of frequency behaviors. At last, an example is given to show the stable and resonant regions of the studied systems.

Extensive research has been conducted on vibration energy harvesting utilizing a distributed piezoelectric beam structure. A fundamental issue in the design of these harvesters is the understanding of the response of the beam to arbitrary external excitations (boundary excitations in most models). The modal analysis method has been the primary tool for evaluating the system response. However, a change in the model boundary conditions requires a reevaluation of the eigenfunctions in the series and information of higher-order dynamics may be lost in the truncation. In this paper, a frequency domain modeling approach based in the system transfer functions is proposed. The transfer function of a distributed parameter system contains all of the information required to predict the system spectrum, the system response under any initial and external disturbances, and the stability of the system response. The methodology proposed in this paper is valid for both self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint systems, and is useful for numerical computer coding and energy harvester design investigations. Examples will be discussed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach for designs of vibration energy harvesters.

Time Delayed Feedback

In this paper, based on the earlier research, a new fractional-order chaotic Genesio-Tesi model is established. The chaotic phenomenon of the fractional-order chaotic Genesio-Tesi model is controlled by designing two suitable time-delayed feedback controllers. With the aid of Laplace transform, we obtain the characteristic equation of the controlled chaotic Genesio-Tesi model. Then by regarding the time delay as the bifurcation parameter and analyzing the characteristic equation, some new sufficient criteria to guarantee the stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation for the controlled fractional-order chaotic Genesio-Tesi model are derived. The research shows that when time delay remains in some interval, the equilibrium point of the controlled chaotic Genesio-Tesi model is stable and a Hopf bifurcation will happen when the time delay crosses a critical value. The effect of the time delay on the stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation for the controlled fractional-order chaotic Genesio-Tesi model is shown. At last, computer simulations check the rationalization of the obtained theoretical prediction. The derived key results in this paper play an important role in controlling the chaotic behavior of many other differential chaotic systems.

Lowpass Filter

In this paper, fractional-order transfer functions to approximate the passband and stopband ripple characteristics of a second-order elliptic lowpass filter are designed and validated. The necessary coefficients for these transfer functions are determined through the application of a least squares fitting process. These fittings are applied to symmetrical and asymmetrical frequency ranges to evaluate how the selected approximated frequency band impacts the determined coefficients using this process and the transfer function magnitude characteristics. MATLAB simulations of ( 1 + α ) order lowpass magnitude responses are given as examples with fractional steps from α = 0.1 to α = 0.9 and compared to the second-order elliptic response. Further, MATLAB simulations of the ( 1 + α ) = 1.25 and 1.75 using all sets of coefficients are given as examples to highlight their differences. Finally, the fractional-order filter responses were validated using both SPICE simulations and experimental results using two operational amplifier topologies realized with approximated fractional-order capacitors for ( 1 + α ) = 1.2 and 1.8 order filters.

A low order acoustic network model is used to examine the stability of an annular combustor for different operating points. The results obtained by this approach are compared against experimental data from a full annular combustor. This annular combustor, in contrast to commonly used single burners or sector rigs, was used to include also 2-dimensional effects like the influence of circumferential modes, which can occur in practical gas turbine applications. The influence of the flame enters the network model simulation through an experimentally measured flame transfer function in terms of the response of heat release to acoustic velocity fluctuations. This flame transfer function, which has been measured at a stable operating point, is then used as a basis for the determination of flame transfer functions at other operating points by means of scaling methods. The transition to instability is thereby simulated by determination of the complex eigen modes, applying methods from control theory. The analytically determined stability behavior is compared to the experimentally measured one, with the aim to enhance and validate the network model approach as a means of predicting combustion instabilities in early design stages.

Tool Chatter

This paper is one of four being presented simultaneously on the subject of self-excited machine-tool chatter. Transfer-function theory is applied to obtain a representation of the dynamics of a machine-tool structure. The stability theory developed to investigate self-excited machine-tool chatter requires such a representation. Transfer functions of simple symmetric systems are derived and compared with measurements. When measured frequency-response data of more complex structures are obtained, it provides a very convenient means of data interpretation and enables one to develop the significant equations of motion that define the structure response throughout a specified frequency range. The transfer function presents the phase relationship between structure response and exciting force at all frequencies in the specified range. This knowledge of phase is essential to the proper application of the stability theory and explains the “digging-in” type of instability that is often encountered in machine-tool operation. The instrumentation used throughout these tests is discussed and evaluated. The concept of developing dynamic expressions for machine-tool components and joining these together through properly defined boundary conditions, thereby building up the transfer function of the complete machine-tool structure, is suggested as an area for further study.

This paper reports a solution to the problem of determining the configuration parameters of PID controllers when arranging the poles of the transfer function of a linear single-circuit automated control system for a predefined set of control objects. Unlike known methods in which the task to find the optimal settings of a PID controller is formed as a problem of nonlinear programming, in this work a similar problem is reduced to solving a system of linear algebraic equations. The method devised is based on the generalized Viète theorem, which establishes the relationship between the parameters and roots of the characteristic equation of the automatic control system. It is shown that for control objects with transfer functions of the first and second orders, the problem of determining the configuration parameters of PID controllers has an unambiguous solution. For control objects with transfer functions of the third and higher orders, the generated problem is reduced to solving the redefined system of linear algebraic equations that has an unambiguous solution when the Rouché–Capelli theorem condition is met. Such a condition can be met by arranging one of the roots of the characteristic equation of the system on a complex plane. At the same time, the requirements for the qualitative indicators of the system would not always be met. Therefore, alternative techniques have been proposed for determining the configuration parameters of PID controllers. The first of these defines configuration parameters as a pseudo solution to the redefined system of linear algebraic equations while the second produces a solution for which the value of the maximum residual for the system of equations is minimal. For each case, which was used to determine the settings of PID controllers, such indicators of the control process as overshooting and control time have been determined
