The Proctor test method, as specified in AASHTO T134 and ASTM D558, continues to play a vital role in design and construction quality control for soil-cement materials. However, neither test method establishes a methodology or standardized protocols to characterize the effects of time delay between cement addition and compaction, also known as compaction delay. Compaction delay has been well documented to have a notably negative effect on compactability, compressive strength, and overall performance of soil-cement materials, but specification tools to address this behavior are not prevalent. This paper aims to demonstrate the extent of compaction delay effects on several soil-cement mixtures used in Mississippi and to present recommended new test method protocols for AASHTO T134 to characterize compaction delay effects. Data presented showed that not all soil-cement mixtures are sensitive to compaction delay, but some mixtures can be very sensitive and lead to a meaningful decrease in specimen dry density. Recommended test method protocols were presented for AASHTO T134 and commentary was presented to provide state Departments of Transportation and other specifying agencies a few examples of how the new compaction delay protocols could be implemented.

In this paper, the static and dynamic simulations, and mechanical-level Hardware-In-the-Loop (MHIL) laboratory testing methodology of prototype drive systems with energy-saving permanent-magnet electric motors, intended for use in modern construction cranes is proposed and described. This research was aimed at designing and constructing a new type of tower crane by Krupiński Cranes Company. The described research stage was necessary for validation of the selection of the drive system elements and confirmation of its compliance with applicable standards. The mechanical construction of the crane was not completed and unavailable at the time of testing. A verification of drive system parameters had to be performed in MHIL laboratory testing, in which it would be possible to simulate torque acting on the motor shaft. It was shown that the HIL simulation for a crane may be accurate and an effective approach in the development phase. The experimental tests of selected operating cycles of prototype crane drives were carried out. Experimental research was performed in the LINTE^2 laboratory of the Gdańsk University of Technology (Poland), where the MHIL simulator was developed. The most important component of the system was the dynamometer and its control system. Specialized software to control the dynamometer and to emulate the load subjected to the crane was developed. A series of tests related to electric motor environmental parameters was carried out.

In this work, it is considered a 6-DoF robotic device intended to be applied for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) motion simulation with wind tunnel models. The requirements have led to a 6-PUS parallel robot whose linkages consist of six closed-loop kinematic chains, connecting the fixed base to the mobile platform with the same sequence of joints: actuated Prism (P), Universal (U), and Spherical (S). As is common for parallel kinematic manipulators (PKMs), the actual performances of the robot depend greatly on its dimensions. Therefore, a kinematic synthesis has been performed and several Pareto-optimal solutions have been obtained through a multi-objective optimization of the machine geometric parameters, using a genetic algorithm. In this paper, the inverse dynamic analysis of the robot is presented. Then, the results are used for the mechanical sizing of the drive system, comparing belt- to screw-driven units and selecting the motor-reducer groups. Finally, the best compromise Pareto-optimal solution is definitely chosen.

This article details a new Model Predictive Control algorithm ensuring robust stability and control feasibility for uncertain nonlinear multi-input multi-output dynamical systems considering uncertain time-delay effects. The proposed control algorithm is based on construction of a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional as terminal cost. Incorporation of this terminal cost into the Model Predictive Control optimization problem and calculation of the associated admissible set result in robust feasibility and robust stability of closed-loop system in presence of uncertain time-delay effects and bounded disturbance signals. The Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional term is constructed with respect to predicted sliding functions over the prediction horizon and considers the effects of dynamical variations over the prediction horizon in generation of control inputs. As dynamical variations are investigated in a sample-to-sample basis, feasible sliding regions are updated at each sample as well. Finally, based on expression of sliding functions as a combination of dynamical variations and input-based terms, required control inputs are calculated in the admissible bound by the optimization algorithm. Construction of control scheme on this basis permits straightforward calculation of robust stability and feasibility conditions for a general class of uncertain nonlinear system in finite prediction horizon whereas in the previous works, often-restrictive conditions were considered for the investigated dynamical systems. Numerical illustrations indicate precision and efficiency of control algorithm and improved stability and convergence rate for multivariable nonlinear dynamical systems considering uncertain time-delay effects. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop implementation indicates applicability of the proposed scheme in real-time control applications particularly in case appropriate compromises between optimality and calculation speed are considered.
