Adaptive compensation of nonlinear time varying torque disturbance in rigid robots
, Pages: 297-302This paper presents a new approach to the control of rigid robots when actuator dynamics and nonlinearities (e.g. saturation), Coulumb friction, ... are relevant. An adaptive like algorithm is used in order to obtain desired trajectory tracking in the presence of unknown, non linear, time varying torque disturbances acting on the robot.

Singular H∞ control
, Pages: 2543-2548, ISSN: 0191-2216The present paper presents a solution to the singular H∞ control problem via state feedback for a class of nonlinear systems. It is shown that the problem of almost disturbance decoupling with stability plays a fundamental role in the solution of the considered problem. We also point out when the singular problem can be reduced to a regular one or solved via standard H<inf>∞</inf> technique. We must stress that the solution of the singular problem is obtained without making any approximation of it by regular problems, i.e. via the so called cheap control. The latter is used to provide a solution to the general H<inf>∞</inf> control problem, i.e. when no assumptions are made on the zero dynamic of the system.

Neural control strategies of a binary distillation column
, Pages: 77-81The ability of neural networks to model arbitrary nonlinear functions and their inverses is exploited for the adaptive control of nonlinear systems. Neural networks which model the plant and its inverse are directly incorporated within the internal model control structure. In addition, a test was made with the open loop control using only the neural model of the plant inverse. Finally, combined structures of conventional controllers (P, PD) with this inverse model were implemented in order to improve the performance of the controlled system. The potential of the proposed methods is demonstrated using the control of the top of a continuous Benzene-Toluene distillation column as an example. The dynamic behavior of that system is obtained by using a complex software simulation.

Air temperature rises in compressor and turbine stator wells
, Pages: 1-10, ISSN: 0402-1215This paper considers the fluid dynamic principles determining the consequences of mainstream fluid ingressing to the comparatively shallow space between the rotor disc and the ring used in many designs of axial-flow turbo-machine, especially compressors, to support the stator blades at their inner ends. Windage power due to friction between this fluid and the bounding walls of this annular space, or 'stator well', can lead to substantial temperature rises in this region. The feasible range of flow regimes is first developed, especially as influenced by leakage through the internal seals beneath the stators separating adjacent wells. Using published data, on windage coefficients and the effects of geometry on the flow through the wells, very little of which has been obtained from truly representative flow conditions or geometries, calculations have been made to estimate the likely rises in temperature to be anticipated in realistic well designs. Leakage rates appear, not unexpectedly, to be crucial in determining these temperature rises, but the geometries of the system are little less critical, in particular the ratio of the outer to inner radiuses of the stator well and the outer peripheral clearances between rotor and stator surfaces. Leakage into a well from its adjacent neighbour is shown to lead to higher temperature rises downstream of the labyrinth seal and the possible effects of recirculation through stator wells from the mainstream boundary layer could be significant.
