Modulated-demodulated control is an effective method for asymptotic disturbance rejection and reference tracking of periodic signals, however, conventional static phase compensation often limits the loop gain in order to avoid sensitivity function peaking in a neighborhood of the frequencies targeted for rejection or tracking. This paper introduces dynamic phase compensation for modulated-demodulated control which improves disturbance rejection characteristics by inverting the plant phase in a neighborhood of the control frequency. Dynamic phase compensation is implemented at baseband which enables the use of low-bandwidth compensators to invert high frequency dynamics. Both static and dynamic phase compensation methods are used to demonstrate a novel application of repetitive control for pulsed jet injection. In this application pulsing an injectant has been shown to produce advantageous effects such as increased mixing in many energy generation and aerospace systems. The sharpness of the pulse can have a large impact on the effectiveness of control. Modulated-demodulated control is used to maximize the sharpness of a pulsed jet of air using active forcing by tracking a square wave in the jet’s temporal velocity profile.

Abstract In this paper, a beam-adjustable metasurface (BAM) is realized based on the plasma metamaterial with a dielectric matching layer technique, which is a novel phase compensation method. In order to realize phase compensation from 0° to 360°, the dielectric matching layers are added above the BAM to compensate the phase. The added dielectric layers can have different refractive indices or different thicknesses. Compared with the conventional phase compensation methods, such a method has an universal adaptability, and the phase curve of unit cell does not need to cover 0° ~ 360°. The elements of the BAM can be reconstructed by adjusting the excitation region of the plasma resonance structures to achieve spatial beam scanning. The simulation results show that the proposed BAM has a good performance. It provides that such a novel idea can help to design the novel BAMs to obtain the adjustable and scannable reflective beam in space.

A method is presented for tool tracking in active magnetic bearing (AMB) spindle applications. The method uses control of the AMB air gap to achieve the desired tool position. The reference tracking problem is transformed from the tool coordinates into the AMB control axes by bearing deflection optimization. Therefore, tool tracking can be achieved by an off-the-shelf AMB controller. The method is demonstrated on a high-speed AMB boring spindle with a proportional integral derivative (PID) control. The hypothetical part geometries are traced in the range of 30 μm. Static external loading is applied to the tool to confirm disturbance rejection. Finally, a numerical simulation is performed to verify the ability to control the tool during high-speed machining.
