It is a frequent wish for mechatronic systems to be able to adapt themselves to changing environmental conditions at runtime. Self-adapting behavior may require complex reconfigurations of controllers in the shape of mode management and control algorithms. These changes ought to be executed at runtime without shutting the system down. As this procedure may bring about unexpected system behavior we introduce a new flatness-based approach to an online reconfiguration of control algorithms. It provides a smooth switching of controllers while observing safety constraints with respect to value boundaries of the system. A DC-drive testbed serves as an application example.

An fMRI-constrained source analysis was applied to investigate visual P300 in the Landolt ring task. To study the localization and relative activation timing of P300 generators, we implemented simultaneous EEG/fMRI to identify BOLD signal changes and record 64-channel EEG in 10 subjects during a Landolt ring task inside a 1.5-T fMRI scanner using an MR-compatible EEG recording system. MRI artifact sub-traction software was applied to obtain continuous EEG data. Then, the simultaneous collecting of EEG and fMRI was validated in preserving relevant ERPs. The fMRI-constrained source analysis resulted in an 8-dipole solution. The bilateral middle frontal and the right inferior parietal dipole waveforms showed a short latency peak corresponding to the early P300 activity, while the four parietal and the anterior cingulate dipole waveforms showed a long latency peak corresponding to the late P300 activity. The longest latency peak of the anterior cingulate dipole agrees with its role in initiation of motor re-sponse after successful target recognition. Target detection in the Landolt ring task produces the strongest and most extensive parietal activation (especially superior parietal activation), which might be due to its particular visual attention switching.

This paper presents a new Collision Avoidance (CA) Algorithm which uses Elastic Band Theory. Researchers tried to develop warning systems to avoid collisions which warn drivers of possible collision risk with audio and or visual signs. However, these systems are not sufficient for avoidance of a collision in situations where the driver gives no response to the warnings. CA System is a kind of Active Safety System which takes control of the vehicle for a couple of seconds and applies emergency maneuver when the collision is unavoidable through driver action alone. The proposed CA algorithm uses Elastic Band Theory which is an obstacle avoidance method used in robotics. This paper aims to introduce this theory applied with modifications to road vehicle based systems and presents realistic simulation results using high fidelity vehicle models with several different collision scenarios.

Hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFSP) is characterized as the scheduling of jobs in a flow shop environment where, at any stage, there may exist multiple machines. Besides the finishing time of the last job, energy consumption is another important factor affecting economy benefit of hybrid flow shop. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is established for the HFSP with minimizing the energy consumption, according to the characteristic of HFSP in practice. It is a typical NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. For solving it efficiently, an improved genetic algorithm is presented. The fitness based on the ranking of the energy consumption of every individual and the self-adaptive mutation operation based on the fitness are adopted. The numerical experiment is carried out on the three-two-three HFSP, and the result indicates that the model is right and the improved algorithm is efficient.

This paper discusses an extension of the MinMAC algorithm to aid sensor placement for modal tests. The extension is, essentially, a forward-backward combinational MinMAC algorithm. The original MinMAC algorithm proposed by Carne can be regarded as a forward sequential MinMAC algorithm, which maximizes the discrimination between mode shapes of interest starting from a small intuition set. The proposed forward-backward combinational MinMAC algorithm aims to combine advantages of both forward addition and backward deletion MinMAC approaches. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is applied to the I-40 Bridge and the result is compared with that of the Effective Independence method. Furthermore, discussions of influencing sensor placement methods and their connections based on our resent results are presented, through which the insight of sensor placement problem is clearly interpreted. In particular, the physical significance and efficient computation of the Effective Independence method are introduced. Finally, comparison of sensor placement methods on a ladder structure and evaluation criteria are discussed.

In modern vehicles, electrical drives and power electronics are used to control a large variety of different applications. To operate these components electronic control units have to be designed and tested. To validate the software of the electronic control units hardware-in-the-loop simulation is a todaypsilas standard method. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation always comprises a real-time simulation of the plant, including actuator and sensor models. In case of an electronic circuit the plant consists of passive components like capacitors and inductors, usually assumed to be linear, and semi-conductors with nonlinear and discontinuous behavior. The following paper suggests classification criteria and compares different methods for real-time simulations of electronic circuits considering switching events. For evaluation theoretical considerations as well as simulation results are presented concerning differences in approaches.
