The aim of this paper is to describe in detail the mu-synthesis of a miniature helicopter integral attitude controller of high order and to present results from the hardware-in-the-loop simulation of this controller implementing Digital Signal Processor. The mu-controller designed allows to suppress efficiently wind disturbances in the presence of 25 % input multiplicative uncertainty. A simple position controller is added to ensure tracking of the desired trajectory in 3D space. The results from hardware-in-the-loop simulation are close to the results from double-precision simulation of helicopter control system in Simulink(A (R)). The software platform developed allows to implement easily different sensors, servoactuators and control laws and to investigate the closed-loop system behavior in presence of different disturbances and parameter variations.

For the design, implementation and testing of control systems increasingly hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is required, where parts of the control loop components are real hardware and parts are simulated. Usually, the process is simulated because it is not available (simultaneous engineering), or experiments with the real process are too costly or require too much time. The sensors and actuators may be simulated or real and the controller is real hardware and software. The real-time requirements for the simulation depends on the time scale of the process and the simulated components. The contribution gives first an overview of the various kinds of real-time and HIL simulation. Then, two cases are considered. First the HIL simulation for relatively slow processes, like in basic industries or heating systems. Here, the simulation-speed may be limited either by the complexity of the processes or by the real controller hardware. Then, the HIL simulation of combustion engines both with transputers and digital signal processors is shown in detail. The required models for 6- and 8-cylinder diesel engines are described, including fuel injection and burning, pressure development, torque generation at the crankshaft, exhaust turbocharger dynamics and the vehicle dynamics. The HIL-simulator test bench consísts of a real-time computer system, sensor-interface, actuator interface, real injection pumps and the real control unit. Comparisons of real-time simulation with measurements on real diesel engines and trucks are shown. The goal of the HIL system is to develop new control algorithms and to investigate the effect of faults in sensors and actuators and the engine itself.

A single-trailer truck has several advantages in transportation due to its simple loading and unloading process as well as its ability to transport a large and heavy load with low delivery cost. Despite more advantages in transportation, this vehicle often involved in road accident caused by reasons such as skidding, jack-knifing, trailer swing and trailer oscillation due to the unwanted yaw and lateral motions while manoeuvring. This elevates much concerns on the stability of the single-trailer truck vehicle, especially while travelling at high speed. This study proposed a yaw rejection control of single-trailer truck using a steerable wheel located at the middle axle of the truck. This study covers the development and verification of 15-DOF model of single-trailer truck to simulate vehicle responses in longitudinal plane. Then, yaw rejection controller is developed and examined using two conditions of manoeuvrings, namely single and double lane change tests. The yaw rejection controller results managed to reduce up to 34.66% lateral acceleration and 22.92% yaw rate compared to the passive vehicle configuration. Lastly, the yaw rejection controller was implemented on a small-scale prototype of single-trailer truck vehicle system using hardware-in-the-loop simulation. The HIL simulation results showed that the yaw rejection controller managed to stabilise the vehicle during manoeuvring with realistic steering wheel actions deliverable by the actuator.

This article proposes a new model for simulating the interaction between cutting process and machine tool in real-time. The purpose of the model is to be coupled with a real CNC (by using hardware-in-the-loop simulation) in order to consider process forces and to predict regenerative chatter vibrations during virtual commissioning. Therefore a dexel-based workpiece model with adaptive resolution is used for the computation of the chip thickness respectively the cutting forces based on the actual machine tool position and the machining progress on the workpiece. Several simulation experiments are performed to validate the model and to analyze its numerical limits, such as computational accuracy and efficiency. The capability of the model to predict chatter is proven by comparing the simulated critical depth of cut with an analytical solution of the stability lobes. Therefore the dynamics of the machine tool were approximated as a single degree of freedom (SDOF) oscillator. A concluding analysis of the real-time factor confirms the model's ability to be integrated under hard real-time requirements and with cycle times of just a few milliseconds which are typical of CNCs.

Physical modelling of hydraulic systems results in systems of differential and algebraic equations (DAEs) that are normally stiff. This is because they often include multiple temporal scales and present complex and non-linear behaviour. The simulation of these stiff DAEs in real time demands small time steps, in order to achieve algorithm stability, because explicit fixed step solvers are usually applied. Modelling some fast dynamics as instantaneous changes in order to reduce the model's stiffness has been an area of research in the last few years. The description of the dynamic behaviour as piecewise continuous modes, interspersed with discrete transitions, together with the reduction in the model complexity, facilitates the use of fixed time step integration methods and thus allows real-time simulation. The main goal of this work was to obtain not too complex models in order to allow the models to be used in hardware-in-the-loop experiments. This paper proposes the use of the statecharts formalism to describe hybrid behaviour in hydraulic systems and presents semiempirical models of a valve controlled hydraulic cylinder intended to test real controller performance on a hardware-in-the-loop setup. These semiempirical models require less computing power, and it is easier to adjust the model parameters.

hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulations where a mechatronic system is used as the device under test (DUT), are established in the automotive sector for the design of active suspension components, e.g. roll-stabilizers. Usually, uniaxial actuator systems within the test rig are applied for the excitation of the DUT. However, in the context of mechatronic suspension systems incorporating multiple mechatronic subsystems, more sophisticated HiL test rigs / simulations with multiaxial excitation of the DUT are necessary. This contribution presents the model-based design of a HiL simulation for a multiaxial vehicle axle test rig. Within the HiL simulation a nonlinear spatial vehicle dynamics model with 36 states is used to reproduce the environment of the DUT in real-time. The implemented model and its requirements are described in detail. An appropriate HiL control framework is developed, which combines the vehicle dynamics model with the hybrid motion/force control of the manipulator systems. The primary actuator is a hydraulic hexapod. simulation results and measurements obtained with the HiL system show the effectiveness of this approach. The potential for chassis control validation and design is highlighted in comparison to a highly detailed benchmark vehicle dynamics model.
