In this paper, we propose a method for developing nonlinear optimal regulators in subsystems which arise when a multi-dimensional large scale system is divided into several subsystems. The nonlinear optimal regulator is derived using a Lyapunov-like function derived from an aspect of the inverse optimal problem. The validity of this method is confirmed by some numerical simulations.

Rate-based congestion control promises effective traffic management for the ABR service class suitable for data communications in ATM networks. There have been proposed several rate-based congestion control schemes in the ATM Forum, including Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm (EPRCA) and EPRCA++ methods. While many studies have been devoted for these schemes in the past, only ABR traffic is taken into account; the effect of VBR and CBR service classes, in which multimedia traffic are accommodated, are not considered. We evaluate the performance of rate-based congestion control schemes when not only ABR traffic but also VBR traffic is incorporated into the ATM network. Through simulation experiments, we show the drawbacks of current rate-based congestion control proposals for multimedia traffic, and give several suggestions to overcome those problems.

Rate-based congestion control is effective and still simple for traffic management in ATM networks. As one of practical realization schemes, enhanced proportional rate control algorithm (EPRCA) has recently been proposed and adopted as a standard by the ATM Forum. While EPRCA can offer a desirable feature in steady state, the queue length considerably grows when the active number of connections on the link becomes large, which is so called a "large VC's problem". In particular, when the large number of VCs starts cell transmission at the same time, the rate-control does not work well. We present an analytic result to give a deep insight into this problem for three types of switches suggested in EPRCA. Further, we demonstrate that a prioritized switch which can limit a maximum queue length at an appropriate level.

This paper addresses the computational aspects of the frequency response for sampled-data systems. We first give two types of lower bound formulas. The first is derived via fast sampling of the input functions and the second is derived via the dual system. It is shown that as the fast sampling period approaches zero, these lower bounds converge to the gain. Two different formulas for upper bounds are also obtained. One is based on the information about the closed-loop poles, and another relates the gains of the /spl Hscr//sub 2/ norm equivalent discrete-time system. We then discuss the bisection search. It is seen that where certain non-degeneracy condition holds, bisection search is possible, some comparisons are made with numerical examples.

The plane problem of an infinite plate containing an inclusion is considered. The singular stress field around the inclusion corner tip is expressed as a sum of two independent types: a symmetric type with a stress singularity 1/r(I-lambda1) and a skew-symmetric type with a stress singularity 1/r(I-lambda2). The intensities of the symmetric and skew-symmetric singular stress fields are defined in terms of constants K(I,lambda1) and K(II,lambda2), respectively. The body force method is used to calculate the values of K(I,lambda1) and K(II,lambda2). In numerical analysis, basic density functions of the body forces are introduced to characterize the stress singularity at the inclusion corner. The advantages of this technique are the high accuracy of results, due to the smoothness of the unknown weight functions, and the presence of the direct relation between the values of K(I,lambda1), K(II,lambda2) and the values of unknown weight functions at the corner tip.

In industrial automation and robotic applications, direct-drive motors represent a suitable solution to friction and backlash problems typical of mechanical reduction gears. Variable reluctance (VR) motors are well suited for direct-drive implementation but, because of the strongly nonlinear electromechanical characteristics, these motors are traditionally designed as stepper motors. The main aim of the work described in the paper is the design of a high-performance ripple-free dynamic torque controller for a VR motor, intended for trajectory tracking in robotic applications. An original modeling approach is investigated in order to simplify the design of the high-performance torque controller. Model structure and parameter estimation techniques are presented. Different approaches to the overall torque controller design problem are also discussed and the solution adopted is illustrated. A cascade controller structure is considered. It consists of a feedforward nonlinear torque compensator, cascaded to a nonlinear flux or current closed-loop controller. The feedforward compensator is carefully considered and optimization techniques are used for its design. Two optimization criteria are proposed: the first minimizes copper losses, whereas the second minimizes the maximum value of the motor-feeding voltage. Although developed for a specific commercial motor, the proposed modeling and optimization strategies can be used for other VR motors with magnetically decoupled phases, both rotating and linear. Laboratory experiments for model validation and preliminary simulation results of the overall torque control system are presented.

A type of miniature linear actuators called a cybernetic actuator for biomedical applications is described. This actuator has four driving states: free, increasing, decreasing, and lock. The free and lock states can release excessive applied load from outside to provide safety characteristics for both human and micromechanisms. Miniaturized linear cybernetic actuators combining a piezoelectric impact drive with electromagnetic clamping were designed and developed. Feasibility and basic performance of the actuators were confirmed by theory and experiments. Improved performance in terms of maximum speed, energy efficiency, and silent drive as a miniature linear actuator were verified successfully by using a controlled friction impact drive.< >
