This study presents a computational method called economical auto moment limiter (eAML) that prevents a mobile cargo crane from being overloaded. The eAML detects and controls, in real time, crane overload without using boom stroke sensors and load cells, which are expensive items inevitable to existing AML systems, hence, being competitive in price. It replaces these stroke sensors and load cells that are used for the crane overload measurement with a set of mathematical formula and control logics that calculates the lifting load being handled under crane operation and the maximum lifting load. By calculating iterative them using only a pressure sensor attached under the derrick cylinder and the boom angle sensor, the mathematical model identifies the maximum descendible angle of the boom. The control logic presents the control method for preventing the crane overload by using the descendible angle obtained by the mathematical model. Both the mathematical model and the control logic are validated by rigorous simulation experiments using MATLAB on two case instances each of which eAML is used and not used, while changing the pressures on the derrick cylinder and the boom angle. The effectiveness and validity of the method are confirmed by comparing the outputs obtained by the controlled experiments performed by using a 7.6 ton crane on top of SCS887 and a straight-type maritime heavy-duty crane along with eAML. The effects attributed to the load and the wind speed are quantified to verify the reliability of eAML under the changes in external variables.

This paper deals with a state estimator or simply an observer of flow field. The observer, being a fundamental concept in the control system theory, also has a potential in the analysis of flow related problems as an integrated computational method with the aid of experiment. In the framework of the observer, the state of physical flow is estimated from the mathematical model with the feedback of on-line experimental measurement. A SIMPLER based flow simulation algorithm is used as the mathematical model of the real flow and partial experimental measurement of flow is fed back to the boundary condition through the feedback controller. The existence of the feedback-loop essentially distinguishes the observer from ordinary flow simulations. Time variation of the computational result of the observer is expected to converge exactly to that of the physical flow in the whole flow domain even for unstable turbulent flows. A numerical experiment has been performed to confirm the validity of the proposed observer for a turbulent flow through a duct of square cross section. The physical flow to be estimated is modeled by a numerical solution. Appropriate choice for the proportional feedback gain of the observer results in accelerated convergence of the simulation by a factor of 0.012 and reduced error in estimation of the perturbation velocity by a factor of 0.6 in the whole domain or a factor of 0.3 behind the output measurement plane in comparison with the ordinary flow simulation without feedback.

To solve the problem of detecting the permeability of the textile machinery, a dedicated test system has been developed based on the pressure difference measuring method. The established system has a number of advantages including simple, fast and accurate. The mathematical model of influencing factors for permeability is derived based on fluid theory, and the relationship of these parameters is achieved. Further investigations are directed towards the inherent characteristics of the control system. Based on the established model and measuring features, an information fusion based clustering control system is proposed to implement the measurement. Using this mechanical structure, a PID control system and a cluster control system have been developed. Simulation and experimental tests are carried out to examine the performance of the established system. It is noted that the clustering method has a high dynamic performance and control accuracy. This cluster fusion control method has been successfully utilized in powder metallurgy collar permeability testing.

This study develops a mathematical model for describing the dynamics of the banana-nematodes and its pest detection method to help banana farmers. Two criteria: the mathematical model and the type of nematodes pest control system are discussed. The sensitivity analysis, local stability, global stability, and the dynamic behavior of the mathematical model are performed. Further, we also develop and discuss the optimal control mathematical model. This mathematical model represents various modes of management, including the initial release of infected predators as well as the destroying of nematodes. The theoretical results are shown and verified by numerical simulations.

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the mathematical model of drug users with education. Optimal control theory was used on this model with education as a control to achieve the goal of minimizing the number of drug users. The optimal control problem was analyzed using Pontryagin’s minimum principle and performed numerical simulation by using a 4th-order Runge-Kutta method. Based on the numerical simulation, there was a change in the number in each population which caused the population with education to increase, and control with education resulted in the reduced number of drug users. Keywords: Optimal control; mathematical model; drug users; education   ABSTRAK Artikel ini membahas tentang model matematika penyebaran pengguna narkoba dengan faktor edukasi.

This paper shows a lumped modeling approach and a motion and vibration control method for a transportation system. The modeling approach is made on the premise that motion influences vibration, but that vibration doesn’t influence motion. To obtain well suppressed vibration and a robustness for the system, LQI control is adopted. It is shown that this theory has superior robustness for in motion and vibration control with variations of the parameters [1]. The control effectiveness is demonstrated through simulation experiments. The vibration modes that occur accordingly become flexible might cause a spillover instability problem. Thus, the purpose of the research is to control such vibration and motion using the modeling method presented by Seto, called the “reduced order physical modeling method” [2]. Computer simulation and control experiments are carried out and the effectiveness of the procedures presented is investigated.
