In this paper a soaking pit/rolling mill process model is developed for a real industrial steel mill based on extended coloured Petri nets (ECPN). Both the discrete events and the continuous dynamics involved in the process are modelled in a unified framework, allowing better investigation of the interactions between these two parts. Corresponding ECPN diagrams are given for the critical components involved in the soaking pit/rolling mill process, including the arrival of hot ingots, the charging and discharging of soaking pits, the soaking process, the preheat furnace operation, the mill operation, etc. The ECPN diagrams are implemented in the Design/CPN environment in a Sun SPARC workstation. Computer simulations are carried out and typical results are shown, which are helpful for the improvement of soaking pit/rolling mill operations.

This paper presents the design and implementation of an active control mechanism for noise cancellation and vibration suppression within an adaptive control framework. A control mechanism is designed within a feedforward control structure on the basis of optimum cancellation at an observation point. The design relations are formulated such that to allow on-line design and implementation and thus result in a self-tuning control algorithm. The algorithm is implemented on an integrated digital signal processing (DSP) and transputer system. Simulation results verifying the performance of the algorithm are presented and discussed.

The development of on-line drug administration strategies in operating theatres represents a highly safety-critical situation. The usefulness of different levels of simulation prior to clinical trials has been shown in previous studies in anaesthesia. Thus, in earlier work on pole-placement self-tuning for muscle relaxation, a dual computer real-time simulation was undertaker, subsequent to algorithm validation via off-line simulation. In the present work, supervised fuzzy rule-based control algorithms are being used. The control software was implemented on the actual machine to be used in theatre, while another computer acted as a real-rime patient simulator. it provides a fast design and simulation environment for safety-critical validation. The resultant validated controllers are now being used clinically.

The paper presents a new approach to non-linear adaptive control for power systems using the properties of the degree of stability and the Lyapunov function. Sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of a stabilizing adaptive control law given a non-linear varying system. These conditions are in terms of the controller parameters and apply to systems in which the parameters are not all known. Thus, the control law obtained is implemented by purely local feedback. The stability of the system with the adaptive control is illustrated by the results of a simulation of a single-machine system model.

The higher order phase response functions contain important information about the behaviour of non-linear systems. Unfortunately, simply adopting the linear convention of plotting the phase between +/- 180 degrees produces higher order phase response functions which are virtually impossible to interpret. In the present paper two new algorithms are introduced to overcome these problems by unwrapping the multidimensional non-linear phase. The unwrapped phase responses are shown to be much easier to interpret and details of the implementation together with examples illustrating the new techniques are included.

The need to find new sources of power has emerged as an important issue due to the existing worldwide increase in the demand of energy. In this way, nuclear fusion has turned out to be a promising source of this power which has lead to an increasing interest in finding solutions for the different tokamak control problems. In order to find appropriate controllers for tokamaks several kinds of codes and models have been developed. In this paper one of those codes, ASTRA, is used to simulate the performance of a tokamak. The aim of this paper is to show how the ASTRA code for tokamaks can be integrated into the Matlab - Simulink tool with the purpose of making more convenient and easier the development of suitable controllers for tokamaks. In particular as a demonstrative case study, a simple PID controller has been designed for the loop voltage of a tokamak. The simulations obtained from the example presented in this manuscript show the feasibility and the goodness of the proposed ASTRA - Matlab integration. This integration composes a new and innovative issue in the tokamak control area and it provides new possibilities to the development and application of advanced control schemes to the standardized and widely extended ASTRA simulation code for tokamaks.

When converting a time-domain model of a non-linear system into the frequency domain to get non-linear transfer functions, any constant or dc term in the time-domain model can have a significant effect on the time-to-frequency domain mapping. The constant term can not therefore simply be discarded as in the linear case. This paper examines this effect and a new mapping is derived to obtain the non-linear transfer functions from a general class of non-linear rational models in which a constant term is included. The results are illustrated using several examples. (C) 1995 Academic Press Limited
