Design of a robust model predictive controller with reduced computational complexity
, Article ISA Transactions ; Volume 53, Issue 6 , 1 November , 2014 , Pages 1754-1759 ; ISSN: 00190578 ; Haeri, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The practicality of robust model predictive control of systems with model uncertainties depends on the time consumed for solving a defined optimization problem. This paper presents a method for the computational complexity reduction in a robust model predictive control. First a scaled state vector is defined such that the objective function contours in the defined optimization problem become vertical or horizontal ellipses or circles, and then the control input is determined at each sampling time as a state feedback that minimizes the infinite horizon objective function by solving some linear matrix inequalities. The simulation results show that the number of iterations to solve the problem...
Introducing an adaptive robust controller for artificial heart
, Article Proceedings of the IEEE RAS and EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics, 24 June 2012 through 27 June 2012 ; June , 2012 , Pages 413-418 ; 21551774 (ISSN) ; 9781457711992 (ISBN) ; Jahed, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Prolonged and uncontrolled high shear stresses and turbulence can cause hemolysis, while alternating and low-level stresses may contribute to platelet activation and thrombus formation. Such deficiencies are reported for Total Artificial Heart (TAH) systems which are generally not fully capable of dynamic adaptation to sudden pressure and volume changes. This study introduces an adaptive robust controller for a linear motor based TAH (LMTAH) which overcomes such shortcomings. Proposed controller performance is compared with simulated natural heart in normal and stressed physiological conditions. Application of adaptive robust control results in flows with less stress variation and...

, Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 18, Issue 6 , 2011 , Pages 1170-1178 ; 10263098 (ISSN) ; Mohebbi, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The effect of response feedback on designing optimal controllers for nonlinear frames has been studied. Different combinations of response feedback have been used in the performance index. The Newmark based nonlinear instantaneous optimal control algorithm has been used as the control algorithm in controlling the response of an eight-story bilinear hysteretic frame subjected to white noise excitation and real earthquakes, and controlled by either eight actuators or a single actuator. While the objective has been to minimize the maximum control force for reducing the maximum drift to below the yielding level, the distributed genetic algorithm (DGA) has been used to determine the proper set of...

Abstract
Ignoring actuator dynamics in control of rigid manipulators can in practice result in performance degradation or loss of system stability. However, consideration of actuator dynamics usually requires measurement of robot joint torques. This paper addresses motion tracking control of an n-DOF rigid robot by taking into account its actuator dynamics. Joint torque measurement is avoided by using an adaptive observer. The backstepping technique is adopted to develop a dynamically smooth adaptive nonlinear controller dealing with uncertainties in manipulator and actuator dynamics. Semi-global convergence of motion tracking errors as well as torque estimation error are proven without any...

Abstract
Next generation wideband and ultra-wideband radar antenna arrays need efficient true-time delay networks for array control. Following the great interest for optical control of antenna array beam steering, performance analysis of optical beam-formers is a must. In this paper signal to noise ratio and dynamic range of simple optical beamforming structures with components off the shelf are investigated theoretically. Especially the effects of certain power combining components such as arrayed wave guide gratings, broadband passive optical combiners and microwave combiners inspected. It turns up that an efficient microwave combiner would surpass the optical combiners in both SNR and dynamic...
Notes on integral performance indices in fractional-order control systems
, Article Journal of Process Control ; Volume 20, Issue 3 , 2010 , Pages 285-291 ; 09591524 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
2010
Abstract
Integral performance indices as quantitative measures of the performance of a system are commonly used to evaluate the performance of designed control systems. In this paper, it is pointed out that due to existence of non-exponential modes in the step response of a fractional-order control system having zero steady state error, integral performance indices of such a system may be infinite. According to this point, some simple conditions are derived to guarantee the finiteness of different integral performance indices in a class of fractional-order control systems. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to show the applicability of the analytical achievements of the paper

Abstract
Control Performance Assessment (CPA) and tuning of PID controllers are studied in this paper. We propose a framework for systematic analysis of the tradeoff between the structural complexity of the controller and its performance. As the measure of the controller performance, an LQG based index is used. The problem is augmented with an additional term which forces sparsity on the complexity of a decentralized PID controller. The desired complexity is controlled via a weighting parameter which determines the cost of each additional element (i.e., P, I, and D terms). The result is a decentralized multivariable PID controller in which the complexity of each loop controller is optimized such that...

Abstract
Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD) have received renewed interest as a bridge-to-transplantation as well as a bridge-to-recovery device. Ironically, reports of malfunction and complications have hindered the growth of this device. In particular, the main concern is LVAD's susceptibility to excessive backlash and suction as a result of ows that are either too low or high, respectively. This study utilizes a well-established physiological model of the cardiovascular system as a reliable platform to study a proposed adaptive robust controller for a rotary motor based LVAD which overcomes such shortcomings. Proposed controller performance is evaluated by comparing simulated natural heart...

Abstract
In this paper, a new model predictive controller is introduced to control a power unit process with three inputs and three outputs. This method is proposed to reduce the complexity of the required computation. In fact, the presented controller ensures achieving an acceptable performance in the presence of noise and disturbances and reduces the volume of calculations to control a complex and nonlinear boilerturbine process. The simulation results indicate that the implementation of the proposed controller requires less computing time while the performance degradation is not more than five percent
Robust roll autopilot design to reduce couplings of a tactical missile
, Article Aerospace Science and Technology ; Volume 51 , 2016 , Pages 142-150 ; 12709638 (ISSN) ; Fathi Jegarkandi, M ; Moarrefianpour, A ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to decrease coupling effects of a tactical missile by designing a robust autopilot for its roll channel. In tactical STT missiles due to control strategy, in order to execute acceleration commands, roll angular velocity should be kept close to zero. Generally, in the design of autopilot for many of tactical missiles the inter influences of channels is neglected. However, three channels of the missile impact each other in different ways including kinematic, inertia and aerodynamic couplings. Aerodynamic coupling is a dominant in roll channel dynamics appearing as induced and control cross coupling roll moments. In this paper first the coupling terms are modeled...

Abstract
Removal of dissolved oxygen (DO) from water has gained much attention in recent decades to prevent different problems such as corrosion, bio-fouling, and performance degradation in many industries. The traditional physical and chemical methods for DO removal have found wide application in industries. However, physical methods have low efficiency and chemical methods often produce undesirable products. Therefore, catalytic reduction by hydrogen has been regarded by a variety of industries recently. In this study, catalytic reduction of DO from water is examined using membrane reactors. The mathematical model of this system is developed while considering the axial dispersion, membrane...

Abstract
This paper presents a new multimodel controller design approach incorporating stability and performance criteria. The gap metric is employed to measure the distance between local models. An efficient method based on state feedback strategy is introduced to improve the maximum stability margin of the local models. The proposed method avoids local model redundancy, simplifies the multimodel controller structure, and supports employing of many linear control techniques, while does not rely on a priori experience to choose the gridding threshold value. To evaluate the proposed method, three benchmark nonlinear systems are studied. Simulation results demonstrate that the method provides the...

Abstract
In this study, the effect of deploying microtabs on performance improvement of a horizontal axis wind turbine blade is numerically investigated in three-dimensions. The NREL Phase VI, a stall-regulated upwind wind turbine, is used as the baseline case. Different cases are considered to investigate the effects of spanwise location as well as the height variation of tabs along the blade span, on the flow over the rotor blade. In all cases, the tab is located at 95% chord of the airfoil section on the lower surface of the blade. Results reveal that locating microtabs at the outboard part of the blade has a greater impact on the rotor performance than the inboard part. However, both cases...
