In this paper, the state profile estimation of a novel autothermal fixed-bed reactor (called circulation loop reactor, CLR), which can be operated as an autonomous periodic system, is studied. Since in autothermal operation the reactor shows sustained large oscillations, its dynamics have to be modelled as a strongly nonlinear distributed parameter system. The generally used lumping techniques (e.g. the orthogonal collocation method) for designing the state estimator of fixed-bed reactors are not applicable in this case. An approach for estimating the state profiles of the CLR based on a nonlinear distributedparameter observer is presented. To decrease the computational effort of the observer in real-time applications, the reduction of the detailed model of the CLR is investigated. In order to achieve asymptotic stability and fast convergence of the observer, the observability of the CLR is analysed, and use of features of the sustained oscillatory system and physical insight are made. A method based on exponential weighting functions is proposed to approximate the observation error profile. The temperature and concentration profiles are estimated from a small number of temperature measurements. The obtained observer was successfully tested with the dynamic simulator DIVA in the cases of errors in the initial condition and the model parameters, random noisy measurements, and unknown disturbances, also including the different choice of sensor locations, and different observer parameters. It shows excellent dynamic tracking of the reactor profiles, strong robustness, and easy tuning. It forms a basis for developing appropriate control strategies of the CLR.

This paper considers a servomechanism consisting of a DC-motor, a gear train and an inertial mass controlled through a compliant drive. The compliance is modeled as a spring between the gear box and inertia, and the interaction between the actuator and its load is considered. Dimensionless parameters are defined to describe this interaction, and the influence of the parameters on open- and closed-loop performance is discussed. system behavior is relatively sensitive to one particular dimensionless parameter related to damping provided by electromechanical interaction. Results of this effort illustrate the concept of quantitative controllability and indicate the possibility of controlling flexible loads conveniently by an appropriate choice of actuator parameters.

An electrochemical tubular reactor system, which is used to remove the hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) from wastewaters, is presented. Under specific modeling and operating constraints, the axial dispersion reactor is described by the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) under Danckwerts boundary conditions. Through the composite finite difference combination, the lumped differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) turn out to be a two-input/two-output system. The overall system stability analysis is investigated via the Lyapunov's first method. According to the prescribed control configuration, the closed-loop simulation shows that a multi-loop PID control scheme can ensure the outlet concentration of Cr(VI) less than 0.5 mg/L in wastewaters.

The iron removal process by goethite is an important part of zinc hydrometallurgy. In existing works, the goethite process is often modeled as a lumped parametersystem, where the spatial distribution information of reactants is not involved. In this paper, the spatiotemporal modeling of the goethite process and its optimal control problem are studied. To make the infinite-dimensional distributed parameter system easier to solve, space-time separation is adopted to transform it into a finite-dimensional system. Then, a multi-scale local least squares support vector machine is proposed to establish the temporal model. This method uses multi-scale kernel learning to deal with different trends of the process and establish a local model to track the state change of the system. Through space-time synthesis, the established spatiotemporal model can approximate the distributed parameter system of the goethite process. Moreover, an optimal control strategy based on the spatiotemporal model is designed to reduce the cost of oxygen and zinc oxide consumed in the process. Finally, simulation experiments on the goethite process demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling method and optimal control strategy. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A finite element formulation for vibration control of a laminated plate with piezoelectric sensors/actuators is presented. Classical laminate theory with the induced strain actuation and Hamilton's principle are used to formulate the equations of motion. The total charge developed on the sensor layer is calculated from the direct piezoelectric equation. The equations of motion and the total charge are discretized with four-node, 12-degree-of-freedom quadrilateral plate bending elements with one electrical degree of freedom. The piezoelectric sensor is distributed, but is also integrated since the output voltage is dependent on the integrated strain rates over the sensor area. Also, the piezoelectric actuator induces the control moments at the ends of the actuator. Therefore, the number, size, and locations of the sensors/actuators are very important in the control system design. By selective assembling of the element matrices for each electrode, responses with various sensor/actuator geometries can be investigated. The static responses of a piezoelectric bimorph beam are calculated. For a laminated plate under the negative velocity feedback control, the direct time responses are calculated by the Newmark-beta method, and the damped frequencies and modal damping ratios are derived by modal state space analysis.

An optimal control problem is considered for a distributed-parameter Goursat-Darboux system with controlled boundary conditions. For the numerical solution of the problem, an algorithm based on separability and minimax theorems is constructed, which reduces the problem to finding the maximum of a concave functional defined in the class of one-variable functions.

A new spillover suppression method using eigenstructure assignment was developed. The resulting method can prevent possible instability in the active control of large flexible structures caused by the neglected dynamics of the higher modes of vibration by reducing their detrimental effect of spillover. In simulation, by comparison of two cases of observer design, the resulting method was proven to be successful in the spillover suppression of large flexible structures.

A mathematical description of motion in a sliding mode is considered for systems with discontinuous controls described by differential equations in Banach space. Applying the regularization principle to such systems the sliding mode equations are obtained. For a set of interconnected heat processes the control system with the prescribed dynamics is designed through deliberate introduction of sliding modes.

For a mobile dual flexible manipulator (MDFM) system, this article focuses on the problem of cooperative trajectory tracking under unknown dynamics and time-varying trajectories. The dynamic model of the wheeled mobile manipulator system in 2-D space is established. Taking into account the unmodeled dynamics of the system, unknown terms of the system are approximated by integrating the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) structure. By introducing the servo system, the cooperative trajectory tracking control (CTTC) strategy is designed, which realizes the system's cooperative operation, time-varying trajectory tracking, and vibration suppression. The performance of the proposed control scheme is verified through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations.
