This paper presents a method that the author has developed to teach students about the need for feedback control and to facilitate the understanding of controller implementation. The initial discussion focuses on the limitations of open-loop control to improve performance of the traditional mass-spring-damper system. The key contribution is the introduction of an enhanced mass-spring-damper system with a position sensor and force generator, resulting in voltages as system input and output. This enhanced system provides a foundation for discussion of basic feedback control strategies such as PID-Control in addition to advanced controls concepts. The analysis is provided in time-domain to facilitate the understanding of these important controls concepts.

This work explores experimentally the control of a turbulent boundary layer over a flat plate based on wall perturbation generated by piezo-ceramic actuators. Different schemes are investigated, including the feed-forward, the feedback, and the combined feed-forward and feedback strategies, with a view to suppressing the near-wall high-speed events and hence reducing skin friction drag. While the strategies may achieve a local maximum drag reduction slightly less than their counterpart of the open-loop control, the corresponding duty cycles are substantially reduced when compared with that of the open-loop control. The results suggest a good potential to cut down the input energy under these control strategies. The fluctuating velocity, spectra, Taylor microscale and mean energy dissipation are measured across the boundary layer with and without control and, based on the measurements, the flow mechanism behind the control is proposed.

In this paper we consider a four-dimensional bioreactor model, describing an anaerobic wastewater treatment with methane production. Different control strategies for stabilizing the dynamics are presented and discussed. A general and practice-oriented bounded open-loop control is proposed, aimed to steer the model solutions towards an a priori given set in thephase plane.

This paper presents a novel approach to manipulation and assembly of micro-scale objects using a chip-scale multi-fingered micromanipulator, in which multiple, independently controlled compliant fingers coordinate with each other to grasp and manipulate multiple objects simultaneously on-chip. The structural and functional advantages of this multi-fingered micromanipulator in achieving high dexterity in a compact form as compared to other state-of-the-art manipulation tools are discussed. A formulation of the kinematics of the manipulator’s compliant fingers along with two different control strategies including an operator-driven closed-loop control and a semi-autonomous open-loop control for coordinated manipulation and on-chip assembly of micro-scale objects are introduced. Finally, the details of implementation of both control strategies and successful experimental demonstration of manipulations and assembly of two interlocking micro-scale parts with sub-micron mating clearance using the multifingered manipulator are presented.

The performance of speed regulating is very important to the mixing process with safe, efficient operation and high quality of production. Strategies and practices of responses and optimization of a PID-based speed regulating system of a planetary mixer were presented in this paper. Research results show that: by means of the signal constraint function presented by Simulink Response Optimization, optimization PID parameters of the 2-DOF-PID controller can be obtained, and the response of close-loop control system has quite good performance of overshoot, response time, and stability compared with an open-loop control system.
