In recent years, the Preisach hysteresis model (1935) has emerged as the model of choice for the behaviour of many smart materials, such as shape memory alloys (SMA). This research treats the identification of Preisach models for a differential SMA actuator. The traditional identification technique is applied, and several models are derived for the actuator. It is seen that the classical Preisach model is able to model its behaviour. However, the results raise questions concerning the robustness of the traditional identification technique, as well as the conservative nature of current passivity-based control results for the Preisach model.

The "nested" structure of the control system for the X33 vehicle in launch mode is developed. The outer loop (guidance) and the inner loop (rates) continuous sliding mode controllers are designed. Simulations of the 3-DOF model of the X33 launch vehicle showed an accurate, robust, de-coupled tracking performance.

Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA) is being increasingly recommended (e.g. by the Aerospace Recommended Practice-ARP 4754 [SAE94]) as a means of performing hazard identification. However, many of the available example applications of this approach (including that given in ARP 4761 [SAE95]) are illustrated either for aircraft-level functions or sub-system functions with obvious and visible functional effects. Our experience is that it can be difficult to apply FHA for lower level aircraft systems (specifically at the level of the engine controller) where, due to the level of complexity and integration with other systems, the overall effects of functional failure are far from obvious. In this paper, we describe the problems we have encountered when applying FHA and the (partial) solutions we have proposed in order to overcome these problems.

For very large document collections or high volume streams of documents, finding relevant documents is a major information filtering problem. A major aid to information retrieval systems produces a word frequency measure estimated from some important parts of the document using neural network approaches. In this paper a fuzzy logic technique and as its simplified case a neural network algorithm will be proposed for this task. The comparison of these two and an alternative neural network algorithm will also be discussed.

A grey box model-based method for fault diagnosis is proposed in this paper. The method is based on a first principle model of the process unit: a heat exchanger, and on a grey box model of the faults: the deterioration of the heat transfer surface by aging and the leaking of the outer container. The deterioration of the heat transfer surface is due to material settling, and in old heat exchangers pieces of this material can break off and cause damage in the equipment. A recursive least squares estimator with forgetting factor is used to track both the heat transfer coefficients and the cold side volume. The heat transfer coefficients are estimated both from the hot and cold side equations. The settled material breakage fault is detected via detection of abrupt positive jumps in the estimated heat transfer coefficients using a detector based on a cumulative sum (CUSUM) test. The proposed method enables simultaneous detection of the two fault types considered. Fault localization along the equipment length is also possible when temperature measurements are available along the length.

For very large document collections or high volume streams of documents, finding relevant documents is a major information filtering problem. One of the main types of information retrieval systems produces a word frequency measure estimated by some important parts of the document using neural network approaches. This paper reports a new network structure for this task. It is specialised considering the main difficulties of these kinds of applications, namely, the calculation time complexity. It will be pointed out that the calculation, hence, the learning time is much reduced applying the new algorithm, however, the result is significantly improved compared to the former approaches, which offer a possibility to increase the number of considered words, hence, improve the effectiveness of information filtering systems.

In this paper we address the problem of designing simple global tracking controllers for a kinematic model of a mobile robot and a simple dynamic model of a mobile robot. For this we use a cascaded systems approach, resulting into linear controllers that yield global K-exponential stability of the closed loop system.

Proposes a robust visual servoing scheme for robot manipulator with eye-in-hand camera configuration. To perform the tasks defined in the image plane, the velocity Jacobian matrix is used to transform the camera motion to the object position change. In addition, a dynamic learning controller is designed to improve the tracking performance of robotic system. The proposed control scheme is implemented for tasks of tracking moving objects and shown to outperform the conventional visual servo system without the dynamic control loop in convergence and robustness to parameter uncertainty, disturbances, low sampling rate, etc.

Discrete-time control schemes are often used for realization of positional control strategies for continuous time control problems (Krasovskii and Subbotin, 1974; Osipov, 1971) . However for general systems with delays (whicb are often called functional differential equations (FDE)) exact solutions in both continuous and discrete schemes can be found in exceptional cases. So, as rule, it is necessary to solve corresponding control problems using suitable numerical algorithms . In surveys (Cryer and Tavernini, 1972; Hall and watt, 1976; Bellen, 1985) different numerical methods for FDE are discussed. In this paper positional implicit Runge-Kutta-like numerical methods of solving general FDE are presented. The elaborated methods are direct analogs of the corresponding numerical methods of ODE case. Also we present new theorem (which generalizes the results of (Kim and Pimenov, 1997; Kim and Pimenov, 1998)) on convergence order. The obtained results are based on distinguishing of finite dimensional and infinite dimensional components in the structure of FDE, on interpolation and extrapolation of the discrete prehistory of the model, on application of constructions of i- smooth analysis (Kim, 1996) . The notion of an approximation order for an optimal strategy in the discrete scheme of realization is introduced. The conditions, which guarantee required approximation order of the optimal strategy, are presented.
