We discuss solvability issues of ℋ − /ℋ 2/∞ optimal fault detection problems in the most general setting. A solution approach is presented which successively reduces the initial problem to simpler ones. The last computational step generally may involve the solution of a non-standard ℋ − /ℋ 2/∞ optimization problem for which we discuss possible solution approaches. Using an appropriate definition of the ℋ − -index, we provide a complete solution of this problem in the case of ℋ 2 -norm. Furthermore, we discuss the solvability issues in the case of ℋ ∞ -norm.

Electro-hydraulic shaking table(EHST) is a useful experimental apparatus to real-time replicate the desired acceleration vibration signal for evaluating the performance of the tested specimen structural systems. A three axis six degree-of-freedom(DOF) EHST system with eight hydraulic actuators is presented in the paper. A decouple control method is employed to lower the acceleration couple among the six DOF. The procedure of the decouple controller is programmed in MATLAB/Simulink, and then compiled to a realtime PC with Microsoft Visual *** for implementation. The experimental results demonstrate that a better tracking performance with the improved servo controller is achieved in experiments by using actual EHST.

In this paper, particle swarm optimization algorithm in a continuous search space is implemented to generate a set of DNA words. A single swarm with 20 particles is used to find the best solution (gbest). Here, each particle has a number of sub-particles which is referred as the number of sequences to be designed. Overall, the particle which has the optimum fitness value is considered as the best solution. Fitness value of a particle is computed from the average value of all the applied objective functions. The solution obtained from this algorithm is found to be better as compared with other approaches. Furthermore, it has a fast convergence towards the optimum fitness value.

The accuracy of DNA computing highly depends on the DNA strands used in solving complex computations. As such, many approaches are proposed to design DNA oligonucleotides that are stable and unique. In this paper, an improved binary particle swarm optimization (IBPSO) algorithm is proposed and implemented. Four objective functions which are H-measure, similarity, hairpin and continuity are employed to define the uniqueness of designed sequences. The DNA words are constrained within a predefined range of GC-content and melting temperature. The performances and the ability of the algorithm to enhance the characteristics of generated DNA code words are analyzed. The results obtained show that this algorithm executes better sequences and did perform better compared to other optimization techniques. Moreover, it converges faster than the previously suggested binary particle swarm optimization algorithm.

Aiming at computing the force feel to be simulated at real time, thrust lever control loading system's simulation model is set by software called Sim Mechanics after its control mechanism being analyzed. The dynamic characteristics of control systems and model torque are studied based on the simulation model. Then the counter potential, primary element to cause the surplus torque, is pointed out according to the dynamic characteristics of control. To make the loading system not only flow the model torque precisely but also retrain surplus torque effectively, the low frequency of the current loop is designed due to frequency spectrum of counter potential and follow-up component in model torque, while the medium frequency is on basis of the step component in model torque. Finally, the reasonableness of the designed current loop is verified by computer simulation of the torque output by motor and loading torque.

Aim of this paper is to design a low power, single supply wearable EMG extractor unit for wireless EMG monitoring. Preamplifier section is designed with instrumentation operational amplifier AD623 located at the site of extraction through Biopotential electrode. Acquisition and processing of multichannel EMG signal is done by ATMEGA 8 processor. Data is transmitted to computer with c#.net platform for signal processing and visualization through RF module. Surface EMG amplitude and torque about elbow joint under yielding isometric contraction measured is used as a parameter to study nature of bicep muscle which also verifies system design.

The paper demonstrates the application of nonlinear acoustics for crack detection. The focus is in non-contact measurements using laser vibrometry. This approach not only eliminates measurement-related nonlinear sources but also optimises measurement location with respect to intensified damage-related nonlinearities. The laser vibrometry was used for modal analysis, strain estimation, crack divergence analysis and estimation of modulation intensity. Velocity measurements was performed simultaneously for x, y and z vibration components. All experiments were carried out for three different vibration modes. These selected vibration modes produced three different crack modes and different crack edge behaviour (closing/opening action, friction, stiffness and thermo-elasticity).

In this study, a delay between the start of electromyogram (EMG) signals and the start of actual human motions which is called Electro Mechanical Delay (EMD) is used in order to eliminate a delay such as a mechanical delay and a communication delay in manipulating systems. The man-machine interface to accomplish zero-phase tracking eliminating some delay is proposed in this paper. This interface consists of the nonlinear ARX (NARX) model which estimates human joint angle from EMG signals, and discrete-time model-following controller so that a controlled object tracks human motions. The effectiveness of proposed interface is discussed from viewpoint of phase differences and errors between a human joint angle and the angle of a controlled 1 DOF manipulator.
