The paper summarizes several approaches on implementing the notch effect into the fatigue life estimate in high-cycle fatigue region in case of uniaxial fatigue experiments on notched bar specimens. Results of own experiments on specimens prepared from 2124-T851 aluminum alloy (five different notch geometries) are used for the subsequent analyses. The nominal solution derived from the stress concentration factors is compared with the stress gradient approach and the critical distance approach.

This paper introduces a novel maximum likelihood approach to determine the local thermal transport coefficients belonging to diffusion and convection from excitation (perturbative) transport experiments. It extends previous work developed for linear (slab) geometry to cylindrical (toroidal) geometry for fusion reactors. The previous linear geometry approach is based on analytic solutions of the partial differential equation. However, for cylindrical geometries with convection the analytic solutions are confluent hypergeometric functions (CHFs) with complex valued arguments. Most numerical libraries do not support CHFs evaluation with complex valued arguments. Hence, this paper proposes the use of an ultra-fast transfer function evaluation based on sparse numerical solutions for the discretized partial differential equation. This solution is implemented in MATLAB and incorporated in the frequency domain Maximum Likelihood Estimation framework. Consequently, transport coefficients can be estimated consistently when measurements are perturbed by coloured and spatially correlated noise.

This paper presents a design of a high-speed (HS) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for advanced and sensorless control techniques validation. First, an electromechanical design of the motor is introduced. It consists of a rotor, a stator core and a motor housing design. FEM software is used for electromagnetic design and two different versions of the stator core are proposed. A key element of the design process is the feasibility of the motor manufacturing using materials available in the market for a single unit production. Therefore, to lower maintenance requirements and motor complexity, the stator core with lower power losses is chosen. To be able to operate the HS PMSM at a nominal speed suitable bearings are selected. For verification of control techniques such as a sensorless control, the motor is equipped with a 12-bit angular Hall encoder. The paper contains an overview of the manufacturing process and a price range of used components as well. After the manufacturing process, the Luenberger observer with quadrature phase locked loop is designed for the sensorless control of HS PMSM. The influence of time delays is reduced with a multisampled PWM and the algorithm is implemented on a FPGA and tested with the manufactured HS PMSM. The experimental results are analyzed for future improvements.

Battery management system (BMS) is an essential component for ensuring safety, reliability and battery life in Electric Vehicle (EV). Estimation of State-of-Charge (SOC) is one of the key functions of BMS in EV. This investigation combines the digital-twin approach and parameter estimation methods to estimate the battery pack's SOC online. The battery's digital-twin is an equivalent circuit model on which simulations are conducted by using current measurements. The model output is used as input to the parameter estimation algorithm which estimates the battery parameters. We provide a novel approach which combines off-line parameter estimation based on least-squares with recursive least squares to update the battery parameters when the vehicle is operating. This provides a way to monitor SoC and provide diagnostics based on current conditions. The proposed approach is illustrated using battery parameters obtained from a EV battery pack. Our results illustrates the efficacy of the approach to provide accurate estimates of parameter and SoC.

Oscillations in process control loops present a serious threat to normal functioning of plant as they lead to product quality variations, fast wear and tear of plant components, possible loss of human lives and property. As a result, overall profitability of the plant gets compromised. To cater to these issues automatic detection of plant wide control loop oscillations is a top most priority for control engineers and industrial consultants. In this work a new automatic oscillation detection algorithm has been proposed based on Prony method for time domain design of infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. In this method IIR filter is designed with time domain impulse response same as the input data. Further, oscillations in the control loop were detected based on the location of IIR filter poles on z-plane. Performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated for oscillation detection for simulated data, real plant data and industrial plant data. Proposed algorithm was successfully able to detect oscillations in all the cases.

This paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a pair of complex conjugate roots, each of multiplicity two, in the spectrum of a linear time-invariant single-delay equation of retarded type. This pair of roots is also shown to be always strictly dominant, determining thus the asymptotic behavior of the system. The proof of this result is based on the corresponding result for real roots of multiplicity four, continuous dependence of roots with respect to parameters, and the study of crossing imaginary roots. We also present how this design can be applied to vibration suppression and flexible mode compensation.
