A new approach to optimal control of vehicle suspension systems, incorporating actuator time delay, is presented. The inclusion of time delay provides a more realistic model for the actuators, and the problem is viewed from a different perspective rather than the conventional optimal control techniques. The objective here is to select a set of feedback gains such that the maximum vertical acceleration of the sprung mass is minimized, over a wide band frequency range and when subjected to certain constraints. The constraints are dictated by the vehicle stability characteristics and the physical bounds placed on the feedback gains. Utilizing a Simple Quarter Car model, the constrained optimization is then carried out in the frequency domain with the road irregularities described as random processes. Due to the presence of the actuator time delay, the characteristic equation is found to be transcendental rather than algebraic, which makes the stability analysis relatively complex. A new scheme for the stability chart strategy with fixed time delay is introduced in order to address the stability issue. The stability characteristics are also verified utilizing other conventional methods such as the Michailov technique. Results demonstrate that the suspension system, when considering the effect of the actuator time delay, exhibits a completely different behavior.

In this paper a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) based impedance control is proposed for a teleoperation system. The unknown friction and uncertainties will be estimated by the observer and added to the control input for compensation. Although friction will improve the stability, it worsens the transparency of the system which is another major point in teleoperation systems. The stability of the system is guaranteed by Lyapunov stability criterion and selecting the best design parameters. Tracking of force/position is achieved by these parameters. Also a fixed time delay is added to the system because of delays in the cables and other sources, it is then compensated with the designed controller. Performance of the proposed control is validated by experimental results.

Fractional-order gene regulatory networks with time delay (DFGRNs) have proven that they are more suitable to model gene regulation mechanism than integer-order. In this paper, a novel DFGRN is proposed. The existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium point for the DFGRN are proved under certain conditions. On this basis, the conditions on the global asymptotic stability are established by using the Lyapunov method and comparison theorem for the DFGRN, and the stability conditions are dependent on the fractional-order [Formula: see text]. Finally, numerical simulations show that the obtained results are reasonable.

The stability of a class of static interval neural networks with time delay in the leakage term is investigated. By using the method ofM-matrix and the technique of delay differential inequality, we obtain some sufficient conditions ensuring the global exponential robust stability of the networks. The results in this paper extend the corresponding conclusions without leakage delay. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

In this study, we propose a novel fractional-order Jerk system. Experiments show that, under some suitable parameters, the fractional-order Jerk system displays a chaotic phenomenon. In order to suppress the chaotic behavior of the fractional-order Jerk system, we design two control strategies. Firstly, we design an appropriate time delay feedback controller to suppress the chaos of the fractional-order Jerk system. The delay-independent stability and bifurcation conditions are established. Secondly, we design a suitable mixed controller, which includes a time delay feedback controller and a fractional-order PDσ controller, to eliminate the chaos of the fractional-order Jerk system. The sufficient condition ensuring the stability and the creation of Hopf bifurcation for the fractional-order controlled Jerk system is derived. Finally, computer simulations are executed to verify the feasibility of the designed controllers. The derived results of this study are absolutely new and possess potential application value in controlling chaos in physics. Moreover, the research approach also enriches the chaos control theory of fractional-order dynamical system.

This paper presents an adaptive fixed-time guidance law for the three-dimensional interception guidance problem with impact angle constraints and control input saturation against a maneuvering target. First, a coupled guidance model formulated by the relative motion equation is established. On this basis, a fixed-time disturbance observer is employed to estimate the lumped disturbances. With the help of this estimation technique, the adaptive fixed-time sliding mode guidance law is designed to accomplish accurate interception. The stability of the closed-loop guidance system is proven by the Lyapunov method. Simulation results of different scenarios are executed to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed guidance law.
