Increase of deceleration in high-speed and high-density train operation degrades riding comfort and frequently causes wheel skids. This requires an introduction of the control engineering to upgrade the control performance of brake systems on rolling stocks. We are now studying a control method for mechanical brakes that uses friction and pneumatic pressure, including non-linear elements as the basis of brake force. Furthermore, the system itself has certain “dead time”, which is not ignorable and makes controlling difficult. One of our targets is to develop a brake control device that can control deceleration in accordance with a decelerating pattern that optimizes riding comfort and prevents wheel skids. In this paper, a design method of the controller for the deceleration tracking control and the system compensating the dead time are proposed. Finally, the effects of them are confirmed through computer simulations and experimental results.

An active noise control device called active noise absorber or ANA, which is based upon damped, resonant filters is developed and demonstrated. It is similar to structural positive position feedback (PPF) control, with two exceptions: (1) Acoustic transducers (microphone and speaker) cannot be truly collocated, and (2) the acoustic actuator (loudspeaker) has significant dynamics. The speaker dynamics can affect performance and stability and must be compensated. While acoustic modal control approaches are typically not sought, there are a number of applications where controlling a few room modes is adequate. A model of a duct with speakers at each end is developed and used to demonstrate the control method, including the impact of the speaker dynamics. An all-pass filter is used to provide phase compensation and improve controller performance and permits the control of nonminimum phase plants. A companion experimental study validated the simulation results and demonstrated nearly 8 dB of control in the first duct mode. A multi-modal control example was also demonstrated producing an average of 3 dB of control in the first four duct modes.

A new control design framework for vibration control, the cooperative control of active and semiactive control, is proposed in the paper. In the cooperative control, a structural system having both of an actuator and a semiactive control device, for example, MR damper and so forth, is defined as the control object. In the proposed control approach, the higher control performance is aimed by the cooperative control between the active control with the actuator and the semiactive control with the semiactive control device. A design method to determine the active control input and the command signal to drive the semiactive control device based on the one-step prediction of the control output is proposed. A simulation example of a control system design for a benchmark building is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed control framework.

The ultimate goal of this study is to develop a buoyancy control device that utilizes volume change due to phase transition of material between solid and liquid states. This paper describes the depth control method for an underwater robot fitted with the metal bellows buoyancy control devices that we have developed in this study. Four metal bellows buoyancy control devices are installed on an underwater robot. We first measured underwater robot buoyancy change and found that it agreed roughly with theoretical values. We then checked whether the robot could change buoyancy successively so that the robot rises or sinks as commanded. We then conducted a series of experiments on robot depth control in which if the robot depth is more than a certain distance different from the target depth, control devices are either heated or cooled at maximum output. If such a difference is within the threshold, proportional control is applied to develop output in proportion to the distance to the target depth. Experimental results showed that the underwater robot followed varied target depth with a steady-state deviation of a few cmor so, except in some cases of failure.

We propose a new volume change mechanism using a metal bellows for a buoyancy control device of underwater robots and vehicles. Our proposed buoyancy control method utilizes the volume change caused by the phase-change of materials. We chose paraffin wax as a phase-change material because its volume change exceeds other candidates. Our proposed device consists of a metal bellows and an aluminum housing that contains paraffin wax and water. The paraffin wax is heated and cooled by a nichrome wire and a peltier device. We conducted two experiments and confirmed that the heat sink in the aluminum housing increases the speed of the buoyancy change and that the thickness of the air layer is crucial for efficient insulating. Then, we built a prototype robot with the four devices and confirmed that the robot can change its buoyancy up to its maximum value.
