This paper presents an adaptive PID control scheme for nonlinear system. TSK(Takagi-Sugeno-Kang) fuzzy model is used to estimate the error of control input, and the parameters of PID controller are adapted using the error. The parameters of TSK fuzzy model also adapted to plant. The proposed algorithm allows designing adaptive PID controller which Is adapted to the uncertainty of nonlinear plant and the change of parameters. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm is also certificated by the several simulations.

This paper proposes a nonlinear adaptive controller based on back-stepping method for tracking reference substrate concentration by manipulating dilution rate in a continuous baker´s yeast cultivating process in stirred tank bioreactor. Control law is obtained from Lyapunov control function to ensure asymptotical stability of the system. The Haldane model for the specific growth rate depending on only substrate concentration is used in this paper. Due to the uncertainty of specific growth rate, it has been modified as a function including the unknown parameter with known bounded values. The substrate concentration in the bioreactor and feed line are measured. The deviation from the reference is observed when the external disturbance such as the change of the feed is introduced to the system ...

A controller described in this paper is designed for implicit generalised minimum varience controller with variable time delays in which the weighting polynominals are calculated to reduce the output and control signals variances. This paper is based on the fact that the pole-assigment equation may have multiple solutions if the weighting polynominals are not of minimal order. It is shown that the larger order of the weighting polynominals increment the better is the stochastic behavior of the closed-loop system with variable time delays without changs in the deterministic behavior of the system. Based on this theory, the controller is applied to position control of a three-link manipulater with parameter uncertainty.

Electric brake booster systems replace conventional pneumatic brake boosters with electric motors and rotary-todisplacement mechanisms including ECU (Electronic Control Unit). Electric booster brake systems require precise target pressure tracking and control robustness because vehicle brake systems operate properly given the large range of loading and temperature, actuator saturation, load-dependent friction. Also for the implement of imbedded control system, the controller should be selected considering the limited memory size and the cycle time problem of real brake ECU. In this study, based on these requirements, a sliding mode controller has been chosen and applied considering both model uncertainty and external disturbance. A mathematical model for the electric booster is derived and simulated. The developed sliding mode controller considering chattering problem has been compared with a conventional cascade PID controller. The effectiveness of the controller is demonstrated in some braking cases.

In nuclear power plant, the reactor cooling system has maintained high-Reynolds-number flow above 1E+07 to cool a heat generated by the reactor. To minimize uncertainty for flow calibration, it is necessary to simulate the high Reynolds' number flow. Y-connection is selected to connect four (4) parallel high flow circulation pumps for maintaining the high flow rate. This paper describes the characteristics for Y-connection by computer flow simulation. It was confirmed through the results that the pressure loss of the Y-connection was lower than that of T-connection. Also as the connection angle of Y-connection was small, as the pressure loss was low.

The active structural control has emerged as structural safety of structures against natural loadings such as earthquake and wind loadings. Of many control algorithms, Sliding-Mode Control (SMC) can design both linear controller and nonlinear controller. The robustness against parameter variations as well as excitation uncertainties that is imparted to the SMC due to its nonlinear control action, could make SMC an attractive control algorithm when dealing with structures where the external excitation constitutes the main uncertainty in the system. This paper demonstrates experimentally the efficacy of the SMC algorithm based on the active mass driver system in reducing the response of seismically excited buildings. The SMC control strategy is verified with the experimental study on the one-story building model equipped with the active mass driver.

From the viewpoint of engineering applications, the prediction of the failure of bogies plays an important role in preventing the occurrence of fatigue. Fatigue is a complex phenomenon affected by many uncertainties (such as load, environment, geometrical and material properties, and so on). The key to predict fatigue damage accurately is how to quantify these uncertainties. A Bayesian model is used to account for the uncertainty of various sources when predicting fatigue damage of structural components. In spite of improvements in the design of fatigue-sensitive structures, periodic non-destructive inspections are required for components. With the help of modern nondestructive inspection techniques, the fatigue flaws can be detected for bogie structures, and fatigue reliability can be updated by using Bayesian theorem with inspection data. A practical fatigue analysis of welded bogies is utilized to testify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

A finite-dimensional approximation technique is developed for a class of spectral systems with input and output operators which are unbounded. A corresponding bounding technique on the frequency-response error is also established for control system design. Our goal is to construct an uncertainty model including a nominal plant and its error bounds so that the results from robust linear control theory can be applied to guarantee a closed loop control performance. We demonstrate by numerical example that these techniques are applicable, with a modest computational burden, to a wide class of distributed parameter system plants.

This paper is concerned with the influence of changes in stochastic parameters of the important resistance variables such as the strength modelling parameter and material and geometric properties, on the system safety level of TLP structures. The effect of parameters governing the post-ultimate behaviour is also addressed. An extended incremental load method is employed for the present study, which has been successfully applied to the system reliability analysis of continuous structures. The Hutton Field TLP and its one variant called herein TLP-B, are chosen as TLP models in this paper. The results of several parameteric studies lead to useful conclusions relating to the importance of reducing uncertainties in strength formulae and relating the importance of component post-ultimate behaviour to the systems reliability of such structures.

The robust controller for the nuclear reactor power control system is designed. Since the reactor model is not exact, it is necessary to design the robust controller that can work in the real situations of perturbations. The reactor model is described in the form of transfer function and the bound of each coefficient is determined to set up the linear interval system. By the Kharitonov and the edge theorem, a frequency based design template is made and applied to the determination of the controller. The controller designed by this method is simpler than that obtained by the H$_{\infty}$. Although the controller is designed with the basis of high power, it could be used even at low power.n at low power.
