The Nonlinear Output Frequency Response Functions (NOFRFs) are concepts proposed for the frequency analysis of nonlinear systems, and they have been essential for applications of damage detection in mechanical and civil engineering, etc. Although they have been evaluated by the Least-Square method and the associated linear equations based method, there is little research about the comparative study of these two methods. This paper describes the comparative study of the LS method and the ALEs based method in an application of the NOFRFs based mechanical damage detection. The two methods are respectively introduced and employed to evaluate the NOFRFs, which are capable of indicating the growth of damage in the mechanical system; then, the two methods are compared using the damage evolution results of the corresponding NOFRFs. A series of comparative experiments with different system input amplitudes are carried out. The experiment results expose limitations of both methods for the NOFRFs based damage detection.

In this paper, we present a non-centralized approach to the output-feedback variant of tube-based model predictive control of dynamically coupled linear time-invariant systems with shared constraints. The proposed algorithm achieves guaranteed recursive feasibility and closed-loop asymptotic stability of the overall system. The approach combines decentralized and distributed MPC, hence the name quasi-distributed MPC. Local controllers, which are deployed among subsystems of the system, solve model predictive control problems in a decentralized fashion (i.e. without communication) in order to regulate their respective subsystems; the output-feedback variant of tube-basedPC is employed in order that controllers may reject the mutual disturbances induced by the coupled dynamics and the state estimation errors arising from having only noisy output measurements. On the other hand, shared constraints are handled in a distributed fashion: in order to satisfy shared constraints between systems, the controllers share predicted trajectories and take remedial action (by adjusting the optimized control inputs) only when a constraint violation is predicted.

A new distributed MPC algorithm for the regulation of dynamically coupled subsystems is presented in this paper. At each time instant, the control action is computed via two robust controllers working in a nested fashion. The inner controller provides local reference trajectories computed on a fully decentralized framework. The outer controller uses this information to take into account the effects of the dynamic coupling and implement a distributed control action. The tube-based approach to robustness is employed. A supplementary constraint is included in the outer optimization problem to provide recursive feasibility of the overall controller.
The problem of reconstructing a sparse signal vector from magnitude-only measurements (a.k.a., compressive phase retrieval), emerges naturally in diverse applications, but it is NP-hard in general. Building on recent ...

This paper is concerned with the H ∞ filtering problem for a class of time-varying nonlinear delayed system under high-rate communication network and stochastic protocol (SP). The communication between the sensors and the state estimator is implemented via a shared high-rate communication network in which multiple transmissions are generated between two adjacent sampling instants of sensors. At each transmission instant, only one sensor is allowed to get access to the communication network in order to avoid data collisions and the SP is employed to determine which sensor obtains access to the network at a certain instant. The mapping technology is applied to characterize the randomly switching behavior of the data transmission resulting from the utilization of the SP. The aim of the problem addressed is to design an estimator such that the H ∞ disturbance attenuation level is guaranteed for the estimation error dynamics over a given finite horizon. Sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of the finite-horizon filter satisfying the prescribed H ∞ performance requirement, and the explicit expression of the time-varying filter gains is characterized by resorting toa set of recursive matrix inequalities. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed filter design scheme.

The intermittence and fluctuation of outputs of large-scale wind farms lead to significant problems in power transmission system by line-commuted converter high-voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) links. Traditional reactive power compensation devices such as AC filters are not capable of adjusting reactive power balance continuously. This paper presents a coordinated reactive power control strategy to realise continuous adjustment. A synchronous condenser (SC) is applied in the DC converter station to cooperate with AC filters. The capacity of the SC is determined by the minimum capacity and dead zone of the AC filter unit, and cost saving is also taken into account. While power outputs of wind farms fluctuate, the setting value of DC power gets changed. The SC responses rapidly to reduce the reactive power exchange. When the reactive power demand is beyond the capacity of the SC, one AC filter unit operates and the SC readjusts to maintain the reactive power balance. The proposed control strategy is validated by simulation in PSCAD/EMTDC.

Robotics is a field which does not only become more and more important in industry and production but is becoming part of many peoples every day life and as such, the interaction between robots and humans is an essential field of research. In this work, we present a face - being an important part of a natural communication - and show that animated facial expressions can be used to express the robot's emotions. To do so, we developed a set of animated facial expressions to be shown on the screen of the MASHI robot, a telepresence robot with a wide-screen display mounted on top. A survey was conducted to evaluate the recognition value of the facial expressions as well as to evaluate whether displaying the full face or rather just the eye-region affects this recognition rate. The evaluation of this survey shows that most of our emotions are recognized better if a mouth is provided. Yet, the recognition rate is still acceptable without displaying the mouth. In summary, all emotions were well recognized and therefore, displaying these on robots like MASHI will contribute to a more natural human-robot interaction.
