Flap-based steering systems on blunt-body Mars entry vehicles may improve flight performance relative to existing bank-angle steering systems. Successful implementation of articulating aerodynamic flaps on a hypersonic entry vehicle requires an active control system to map angle of attack and sideslip angle commands to flap deflection commands. Here, a successivelinearization model predictive control algorithm, as well as a linear-quadratic regulator, are designed and assessed to address this multiple input multiple output control problem. These two control algorithms are assessed in the presence of uncertainty in Monte Carlo simulations for various flap configurations and command profiles. Results indicate that while both control algorithms provide successful command tracking in the presence of uncertainty, the model predictive controller provides tracking errors about half the value of those corresponding to the linear-quadratic regulator, indicating increased robustness. Comparison of several flap configurations shows the model predictive controller can be applied to various flap configurations successfully with only marginal performance differences between configurations.

In the most industrial processes, weighing machines are designed to automatically fill one or more types of the containers with a predetermined weight of particulates raw material using a controller. The performance of the machine is closely related to the accuracy of measurement and speed of dynamic response, which are contradictory. For a gravimetric filling machine, a novel adaptive dynamic state prediction control (ADSPC) algorithm running in the controller is proposed in this paper to regulate conflicts. This algorithm will consider the weighing process as a finite state. State migration is depended on the resulting weight and current state. The resulting weight is determined by the weight of measurement and current state. Compared with normal algorithm and simple prediction algorithm separately under the same condition, the result indicated that the algorithm is effective and feasible.

The paper presents a scaled experimental stand for applying different algorithms onto a braking system with anti-lock capability, in order to determine the best way to control the braking process. The stand consists of a test wheel with an electro-mechanic brake caliper rolling against a powered tambour track. The angular velocities of both rolling wheel and track are monitored by a PC using custom hardware and software. The functional parameters of the test stand can be modified, thus employing different approaches for the anti-lock function of the braking process.

Several different control algorithms for high-order inertial system were researched recently in China. Since different algorithms have similar effects, the consistency of these algorithms was first proposed in this paper in the view of control principle. The superheated steam temperature system of a 600 MW unit was taken as an object. The characteristics of time domain and frequency domain, spectrum of local disturbance signals, robustness under model perturbation, and the real actuator output were analyzed and discussed. The conclusion is that the different algorithms applied in practice do have consistency;these algorithms have intrinsic deficiency, which is derived from the structure of the algorithms themselves. Finally it has carried on prospect for future research and some problems meriting our attention.

The Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) worm is a well-studied biological organism model. The nervous system of C. elegans is particularly appealing to study, since it is a tractable fully functional neuronal network for which electro-physical connectivity map (connectome) is fully resolved [1,2]. In this work, we use a recently established computational dynamical model of the C. elegans nervous system, which incorporated the static connectome data with intrinsic properties of neurons and their interactions. With this model, it has been demonstrated that robust oscillatory movements in motor neurons along the body can be invoked by constant current excitation of command sensory neurons (e.g., PLM neurons associated with forward crawling), and that their activation corresponds to low-dimensional Hopf bifurcation [3]. While these first results validated the model, it is exciting to learn and visualize how the nervous system transforms its oscillatory dynamics to the muscles to support robust full body movements (e.g., forward crawling) [4]. Moreover, it is intriguing to understand the optimal sensory stimulations that cause these movements to persist. We explore these questions by developing methods to visualize network activity in a physical space and creating a model for C. elegans musculature as a viscoelastic rod with discrete rigid segments [5]. We map the neuronal dynamics such that they activate the muscles and deform the rod. When motor neuron activity stimulates muscles [2], this activation is translated into force applied to the rod, which moves in accordance with the physical properties of C. elegans. By stimulating the command PLM neurons, we establish for the first time that motor neuron dynamics are indeed producing coherent oscillatory full body movements that resemble forward crawling. We utilize our computational full body model to determine the appropriate sensory input for behavior, such as crawling, to persist after explicit external stimulation (

To tackle issues like high costs, independent design, and poor user experience in electric vehicle (EV) charging and discharging technology, this paper proposes an optimisation method based on bidirectional power converters. This method involves analysing mathematical models of converters in various modes, deriving their power circuit transfer functions, and laying the groundwork for circuit theory analysis, control algorithms, and parameter design. Results indicate that in the bidirectional AC/DC circuit, output voltage stabilises at 350 V within 0.1 s. In constant current mode, it maintains a 20 A output while gradually increasing the voltage. In constant voltage mode, battery capacity exceeds 95% in 0.32 s, followed by a gradual decrease in current and voltage stabilisation at 310 V. This study not only proves the circuit's feasibility but also highlights its potential for extensive use in EV charging and smart grid applications.

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) require autonomous software with a high level of liberalization and automation to complete various missions. Therefore, experimental verification and validation of this software at the initial design stage are essential. However, such experiments are impossible before the actual hardware is developed, and the creation of an external environment for the mission requires substantial cost and time. In this study, virtual prototypes of the mission environment and hardware for the USV are developed. Then, a simulation environment for testing the control algorithms in the autonomous software is constructed. Data communication with the USV hardware is necessary for the autonomous software to acquire information from the sensors and to operate the actuators. Similarly, data communication between the programs of the virtual prototypes and the autonomous software is required for the integrated simulation environment. In this study, the robot operating system (ROS) software platform is adopted to construct the interface for this data communication. Finally, the integrated simulation environment of the control algorithms and the virtual prototypes are constructed based on ROS to verify the autonomous software of the USV. The applicability of the suggested simulation environment is evaluated by application to three scenarios: mine detection, path following, and port entry.

Recent global efforts to resolve environmental issues are required in sheet metal forming. For this reason, some research projects have been focused on unlubricated processes as well as on the use of volatile lubricants. However, low formability due to poor lubrication conditions is still a matter of concern. In this study, in order to improve the friction conditions, a new algorithm for controlling blank holding force (BHF) and punch speed (SPD) was proposed. The concept is to separate the wrinkle eliminating process from drawing process. That is, the process proceeds with an extremely low BHF until a wrinkle sufficiently grows, and the wrinkle is eliminated by BHF loading without punch penetration. Its effectiveness was investigated by finite element (FE) simulation, in which two blank models (0.5 mm and 1.0 mm thickness) were used. As a result, the maximum forming forces decreased by 5.33% (0.5 mm) and 1.55% (1.0 mm) compared with those of the uncontrolled model at a constant minimum BHF. In addition, a thinner blank sheet is better for the algorithm on the basis of the result that cup height decreases and thickness distribution increases in the case of 0.5 mm thickness.
