The authors examine some issues in the transfer function modeling of a single flexible link. Using the assumed-modes approach, it is possible to find the transfer function between the torque input and the net tip deflection. It is shown that when the number of modes is increased for more accurate modeling, the relative degree of the transfer function becomes ill-defined.

The design and experimental control of an unmanned Tilt-Rotor aerial vehicle operating in Bi-Rotor mode is presented in this article. Tilt-Rotor UAVs exhibit important flight characteristics due to their ability to fly both like a rotorcraft (in Bi-Rotor Mode) and like a fixed-wing aerial system. The ability of having a dual flight envelope makes ideal for complex missions where both the speed and flight endurance of a fixed-wing design and the hovering, aggressive maneuvering and vertical take-off/landing capabilities of a helicopter ...

In this work we derive steady-state cornering conditions for a single-track vehicle model without restricting the operation of the tires to their linear region (i.e. allowing the vehicle to drift). For each steady-state equilibrium we calculate the corresponding tire friction forces at the front and rear tires , as well as the required front steering angle and front and rear

This paper presents direct torque control (DTC) methodology for a four-switch three-phase (FSTP) inverter-fed permanent magnet brushless ac (PM BLAC) machine, with reference to a conventional six-switch three-phase (SSTP) inverter. It has been found that when derived from conventional voltage model flux estimation scheme, the predicted stator flux imbalance may be caused by unbalanced inverter voltage drop in the FSTP inverter, in which one phase winding is directly connected to dc-link midpoint. While this imbalanced problem does not adversely affect the performance of current-model-based DTC, it causes significantly nonsinusoidal current waveforms and considerably unbalanced current magnitudes in voltage-model-based DTC. A new compensation scheme taking into account the different forward voltage-drop values in the switching device and the freewheeling diode is proposed for the voltage-model-based DTC to correct for stator flux imbalance via the addition of corrective voltages to flux equations. The proposed scheme has significantly improved the shape of current waveforms with satisfactory balanced magnitudes, total harmonic distortion, and torque ripple factor, as verified by both simulation and experimental results. It has been shown that it is possible for an FSTP inverter to provide similar performance to an SSTP inverter when driving a PM BLAC machine.

This paper proposes a new approach to direct torque control (DTC) method for brushless direct current (BLDC) motor drives. In conventional DTC method, two main reference parameters are used as: flux and torque. In this paper, the new approach has been proposed to improve the BLDC motor dynamic performance. A main difference from the conventional method of it was that only one reference parameter (speed) was used to control the BLDC motor and the second control parameter (flux) was obtained from speed error through the proposed control algorithm. Thus, the DTC performance has been especially improved on systems which need variable speed and torque during operation, like electric vehicles. The dynamic models of the BLDC and the DTC method have been created on Matlab/Simulink. The proposed method has been confirmed and verified by the dynamic simulations on different working conditions.

The use of a voltage source power converter topology for medium voltage drive products allows to realize a utility interface compatible with IEEE 519-1992 by means of a series 12-pulse (or optionally a 24-pulse) diode rectifier without any harmonic filters or power factor correction equipment. On the motor side, the three-level voltage source inverter, also known as the neutral-point clamped

In this paper, the torque tracking control problem for a class of series elastic actuators (SEAs) in the presence of unknown payload parameters and external disturbances is investigated. The uncertainties/disturbances rejection problem for SEAs is addressed from the view of a continuous nonlinear robust control development. Specifically, based on the analysis of a nonlinear SEA, the generic dynamics of SEA systems is described and a novel nonlinear control framework for SEAs is constructed. Then a RISE (robust integral of the sign of the error)-based second-order filter is introduced to synthesize the control law. Moreover, the control performance is theoretically ensured by Lyapunov analysis. Finally, some experimental results are included to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed control method, in terms of transient response and robustness.

—In partial load torque control for variable speed wind turbine generators(VSWTG) rotational speed, which will be feedback signal, is very important parameter. The mathematical model of wind turbine and control regulation for maximizing energy conversion yield has been introduced in this paper. The control system stability and dynamic response are analyzed when using the wind turbine rotor side rotational speed (RSRS) and the generator side rotational speed(GSRS) as feedback signal in torque control respectively ,and the effect the drive train damping and wind speed on system stability are investigated simultaneously. Analysis-and simulation results show that, when using RSRS the stability of wind turbine control system depends on the damping of drive train and the coming wind speed strongly, while the system will be always stable in partial load torque control when using GSRS although wind speed and damping have some effect on the wind turbine system stability. Two real wind turbines of 1.5MW double fed asynchronous generator(DFIAG) are simultaneouly tested with different feedback rotational speed respectively. Test results show that, when using RSRS the generator rotational speed will fluctuate strongly with severe torsion vibrations in higher wind speed, while the wind turbine operate normally for GSRS feedback, which make a very good agreement with analysis-and simulation results.
