This paper deals with repetitive control (RC). More specifically, a parametrised version of the repetitive compensator, i.e. of the infinite-dimensional controller employed in RC schemes, modelled as a boundary control system (BCS) in port-Hamiltonian form is presented. Well-posedness and stability of such control scheme are rigorously addressed thanks to novel tools based on dissipativity theory and originally developed for the stabilisation of BCS. Here, the linear and the nonlinear cases are tackled, and in both the cases the classes of plants for which RC schemes are exponentially stable are determined. Moreover, and explicit motivation of perfect asymptotic tracking and disturbance rejection for exponentially stable RC systems without relying on the internal model theory is provided. To show the validity of the analysis, simulations are reported.

The article is devoted to mathematical modeling of large (geometrically nonlinear) deformations and displacements of rubber-like materials and metal alloys. It is shown that the Cauchy's tensor equally correctly describes the transformations for large, small, and infinitesimal values of gradients. A new approach to the formulation and solution of boundary value problems of statics is proposed. A mathematical model has been developed to analyze the stress-strain state of various structures. Developed computer programs calculate and build virtual graphs of transformations of various bodies under load and can be used when students study various sections of the mechanics of a deformable solid body.

The central aim of this research is to propose a solution to rehabilitate historic places using a robotic manipulator. In this pursuit, the objective is to clean flat or curved surfaces of mihrab/muqarnas and to write lost Arabic inscriptions on spandrel using 7 Degree of freedom (DOF) robotic manipulator. Inverse kinematics solution for 7 DOF is derived by fixing redundant joint and solving the remaining 6 DOF inverse kinematics. Image processing techniques are used to get data from the given image for the robotic calligraphy operation on the spandrel to restore the lost inscriptions. Path planning exercise is implemented to navigate the end-effector on the desired path to write lost inscriptions and to clean curved surfaces of muqarnas. Proposed solutions are verified by simulation using MATLAB. The results showed that the manipulator successfully tracked the given path to perform the desired operation in mihrab as well as calligraphy operation on spandrel.

This paper proposes a new quadratic V/f-based control of a PV induction motor driven water pumping system without storage batteries. The system consists of PV array, DC-DC boost converter, voltage source inverter (VSI), induction motor, and water pump. In order to extract the maximum power from the PV array, the incremental conductance (INC) method is simply utilized. The dc-link voltage is maintained constant using a proportional-integral (PI) controller by controlling the induction motor speed using simple open loop quadratic scalar V/f control. The proposed quadratic scalar V/f control is compared with the widely used linear V/f control using a simulation case study based on MATLAB/SIMULINK . The performance of the proposed method is examined under variable values of solar radiation. When compared with the available scalar controllers, the proposed controller generally improves the system dynamics as well as the overall system efficiency especially under low speed (low discharge) operation. The simulation results have proved that the system output power and the corresponding overall efficiency have been approximately doubled under low speed operation.

The pumping stations are key points of water treatment plants, their performance directly affecting the serviceability of the entire water treatment system. The excessive wear of mechanical components conducts to pumping station out of service state. The deposition of thin coatings on the elements subjected to wear can generally extend the operating time of the water treatment plants. The paper analyses the failure modes of the mechanical components of the pumping stations and the existing efficient solutions for thin coating deposition to protect them from excessive wear. Consequently, an effective coating is deposited on the raw metal by Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) and tribological tests are developed for an initial assessment of the anti-wear properties of the coating. The worn contact surfaces are analysed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the chemical composition is established by Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The tests are still in development, revealing that the main failure modes of the coating are abrasive wear and delamination. Future research will be conducted to identify the best combination of powders for a multiple layer deposited coating with high wear resistance.
