Flexible Deformation

In virtual surgery of minimally invasive vascular intervention, the force feedback is transmitted through the flexible guide wire. The disturbance caused by the flexible deformation would affect the fidelity of the VR (virtual reality) training. SMC (sliding mode control) strategy with delayed-output observer is adopted to suppress the effect of flexible deformation. In this study, the control performance of the strategy is assessed when the length of guide wire between actuator and the operating point changes. The performance assessment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and find the optimal length of guide wire for the force feedback control.

Robust Control Design

Research in the field of tribo-mechatronics has been gaining popularity in recent decades. The objective of the current research is to improve static/dynamics characteristics of hydrostatic bearings. Hydrostatic bearings always work in harsh environmental conditions that effect their performance, and which may even result in their failure. The current research proposes a mathematical model-based system for hydrostatic bearings that helps to improve its static/dynamic characteristics under varying conditions of performance-influencing variables such as temperature, spindle speed, external load, and clearance gap. To achieve these objectives, the capillary restrictors are replaced with servo valves, and a mathematical model is developed along with robust control design systems. The control system consists of feedforward and feedback control techniques that have not been applied before for hydrostatic bearings in the published literature. The feedforward control tries to remove a disturbance before it enters the system while feedback control achieves the objective of disturbance rejection and improves steady-state characteristics. The feedforward control is a trajectory-based controller and the feedback controller is a sliding mode controller with a PID sliding surface. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to tune the 6-dimensional vector of the tuning parameters with multi-objective performance criteria. Numerical investigations have been carried out to check the performance of the proposed system under varying conditions of viscosity, clearance gap, external load and the spindle speed. The comparison of our results with the published literature shows the effectiveness of the proposed system.
