The structural response under earthquake excitation can be simulated by shake table tests. However, the performance of the shake table is affected by the control-Structure Interaction (CSI) effect. In recent years, nonlinear control algorithms were developed to compensate for the CSI effect. In this study, a model reference adaptive controlalgorithm, named model reference adaptive hierarchical control (MRAHC) framework, is presented. MRAHC consists of a high (adaptive) and low (loop-shaping) level controller. The high-level (adaptive) controller develops the controlalgorithm on the system level, which directedly considers the inherent nonlinearity of the test specimen and the CSI effect. While the low-level (loop-shaping) controller develops the controlalgorithm to regulate the hydraulic system and make sure it can follow the reference signal generated by the high-level (adaptive) controller. MRAHC offers many advantages including direct compensation to the structural nonlinearity and the ability to handle the CSI effect. In addition, it allows users to quantify the mass of the test specimens without measurement. To evaluate the performance of the MRAHC method, shake table tests with different upper structure masses were carried out. The performance of the MRAHC was compared with the direct loop-shaping control method (LC) and the Proportional-Integral-Differentiation control method (PID). The results show that the MRAHC can achieve better acceleration tracking compared to the LC and PID control methods. Hence, the MRAHC can be used as an effective nonlinearcontroller for shake table tests.

To reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) and improve the power factor (PF) of a boost power factor correction (PFC) converter, here, the authors propose a non-linear controlalgorithm that includes the feedforward correction (FC) algorithm in the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and the non-linear frequency variation (FV) algorithm in the mixed conduction mode (MCM). The proposed FC algorithm achieves current out of distortion through zero crossing with a lower current loop bandwidth. The proposed non-linear FV algorithm achieves high PF and low THD under minimal load conditions. The non-linear FV algorithm comprises a third harmonic extraction algorithm, a harmonic control loop for reducing THD and a frequency production algorithm. By using this non-linear FV algorithm, the inductor size is reduced, which leads to lower cost and also achieves better THD and PF. The proposed algorithms are verified experimentally in terms of current tracking, current THD, PF, heating and loss on a 2000-W boost PFC converter hardware prototype.

Multiphase machines have attracted the attention of the research and industrial communities due to their advantages, namely better power distribution and fault-tolerant capabilities without extra hardware. However, the multiphase machine requires high-performance control strategies to take advantage of these features. From this perspective, the field-oriented control with the inner current control loop that uses using an explicit modulation stage has been considered the benchmark solution thanks to the reduced harmonic distortion obtained with this regulation strategy. Nevertheless, nonlinearcontrollers, thanks to their inherent nature, allow exploiting the extra multiphase capabilities in a simplified manner. Consequently, this paper aims to concentrate and discuss the latest developments on nonlinear current control of two of the most popular multiphase electric drive configurations, five-phase and six-phase. Then, this paper covers mainly finite-control-set model predictive control and their variations. Moreover, sliding-mode control is also explained. Finally, this paper includes experimental assessments of the most recent nonlinear current control techniques considering steady-state and transient conditions, stability and performance analysis.

This study suggests a non-linear controlalgorithm for the exciter controlling a single-machine infinite-bus system, considering the non-linear dynamics with parameter and sudden input power variations. This study provides three contributions: (i) an estimation algorithm is designed to estimate the power angle operating point for the terminal voltage to be regulated to its desired value, incorporating the disturbance observer (DOB);(ii) a DOB-based proportional-type non-linear stabilising algorithm is systematically derived using the estimated power angle operating point;and (iii) it is rigorously shown that the proposed proportional-type non-linear controller always removes the steady-state errors without integral actions for error variables. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique under several transmission line fault scenarios.

A novel full-field non-contact vibration measurement method is investigated for a piezoelectric flexible cantilever plate, using laser dot-projection videogrammetry. Several laser dots are projected as marks for visual system. The three-dimensional coordinates of each mark are monitored by a binocular stereo vision system, composed of two cameras. After image processing, the vibration signal of the first bending mode is obtained. For the first torsional mode, two laser displacement sensors are utilized to detect the vibration. To suppress the residual vibration quickly, an adaptive nonlinearcontroller and a fuzzy tuning nonlinearcontroller are designed and adopted. To verify the investigated measurement and control methods, experiments are conducted by using a piezoelectric flexible cantilever plate experimental platform. The experimental results demonstrate that the investigated laser dot projection measurement method is effective for first bending vibration detection. Furthermore, compared with PD control, the adopted nonlinearalgorithms have better damping performance, especially for small amplitude residual vibration. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS.

This article focuses on the active vibration control of a kind of two-connected piezoelectric flexible plate. A finite element model of the connected plate integrated with distributed piezoelectric sensors and actuators is derived, including bending and torsional vibrations. In this model, two connected hinges are simplified as regular plate elements to facilitate the system. A modified optimization method based on the energy dissipation rate is used for the optimal placement of piezoelectric sensors and actuators. The bending and torsional vibrations of the two-connected plate can be decoupled on measurement and driving control, due to the appropriate placement of the lead zirconate titanate sensors and actuators. The proportional and derivative control, the proposed nonlinearcontroller, and T-S fuzzy controlalgorithms are applied to suppress the bending and torsional vibrations of the two-connected plate. The numerical simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the last two controlalgorithms can suppress the low-order bending and torsional vibration more effectively than that of the designed proportional and derivative controlalgorithm.

Some flexible appendages of spacecrafts, such as solar panels, are cantilever plate structures. Thus, vibration problem is unavoidable when there is slewing maneuver or external disturbance excitation. Vibration of such cantilever plate structures includes coupled bending and torsional motion. Furthermore, the low amplitude vibration near the equilibrium point is very difficult to be quickly suppressed due to nonlinear factors of the hardware in the system, which is harmful to stability and attitude control accuracy. To solve these problems, acceleration sensor-based modal identification and active vibration control methods are presented for the first two bending and the first two torsional modes vibration of the cantilever plate. Optimal placements of three acceleration sensors and PZT patches actuators are performed to decouple the bending and torsional vibration of such cantilever plate for sensing and actuating, and identifications are achieved by experiments. A nonlinearcontrol method is presented to suppress both high and low amplitude vibrations of flexible smart cantilever plate significantly. Experimental comparison researches are conducted by using acceleration proportional feedback and the presented nonlinear control algorithms. The experimental results demonstrate that the presented acceleration sensor-based methods can suppress the vibration of cantilever plate effectively. (C) 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The PID controlalgorithm remains the most widely used in the process industries. This is due to its simplicity (three tuning parameters, fixed structure) and its ability to satisfy the majority of process control needs. Here, a new nonlinearalgorithm (the PI(D)) is presented, which maintains the simplicity of the PID, but is nevertheless able to outperform it in both load and set point changes. Tuning formulae and response curves for the PI(D) controller are presented.
