Abstract An adaptive method for suppressing mechanical vibration of multiple frequencies is investigated. The adaptive controller is reinforced with saturation alleviator to improve the convergence rate and performance of the adaptive algorithm. Tracking filters are used to extract harmonics of fluctuating frequencies and the anti-saturation unit works in series with the tracking filters to give constrained harmonic output. As a result, the controller is insensitive to abnormally large input that would otherwise induce saturation in actuators. A dynamic model is built for vibration suppression simulation and the numerical results indicate that the adaptive algorithm is effective in cases of multiple fluctuating frequencies and output saturation. Experiments were also conducted to test the performance of the adaptive method. Excitation with oscillating frequencies was applied, and the results have demonstrated that the harmonics can be suppressed effectively with the adaptive method.

This paper focuses on laboratory implementation of a semiactive seat suspension with application of magneto-rheological (MR) dampers. We firstly introduce the nonlinear dynamics phenomena induced with the skyhook control that is now widely applied from structural vibration suppression to commercialized vehicle suspensions. However, superharmonic dynamics has not been clearly addressed in such vibration control systems. This paper tries to explain how superharmonics are created with skyhook controls through testing data analysis. Furthermore, in order to avoid this dynamics issue, this study implements a nonlinear model-based adaptive control into this MR damper based seat suspension. Based on a nonparametric MR damper model, the adaptive algorithm is expanded mathematically, and the system stability is discussed. Then in the following sections, this paper describes implementation procedures such as modeling simplification and validation, and testing results. Through the laboratory testing, the adaptive suspension is compared to two passive suspensions: hard-damping (stiff) suspension with max current of 1A to the MR damper, and low-damping (soft) suspension with minimum of 0A, while broadband random excitations are applied with respect to the seat suspension resonant frequency in order to test the adaptability of the adaptive control. Furthermore, mass and spring rate are assumed known and unknown for this adaptive controller to investigate the capability of this algorithm with the simplified model, respectively. Finally the comparison of testing results is presented to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed adaptive algorithm to eliminate the superharmonics from the MR seat suspension.

The flexible manipulato is widely used in the aerospace industry and various other special fields. Control accuracy is affected by the flexibility, joint friction, and terminal load. Therefore, this paper establishes a robot dynamics model under the coupling effect of flexibility, friction, and terminal load, and analyzes and studies its control. First of all, taking the structure of the central rigid body, the flexible beam, and load as the research object, the dynamic model of a flexible manipulator with terminal load is established by using the hypothesis mode and the Lagrange method. Based on the balance principle of the force and moment, the friction under the influence of flexibility and load is recalculated, and the dynamic model of the manipulator is further improved. Secondly, the coupled dynamic system is decomposed and the controller is designed by the multivariable feedback controller. Finally, using MATLAB as the simulation platform, the feasibility of dynamic simulation is verified through simulation comparison. The results show that the vibration amplitude can be reduced with the increase of friction coefficient. As the load increases, the vibration can increase further. The trajectory tracking and vibration suppression of the manipulator are effective under the control method of multi-feedback moment calculation. The research is of great significance to the control of flexible robots under the influence of multiple factors.

The original use of the vehicle dashboard was to provide enough sensory information to inform the driver of the current engine and vehicle status and performance. Over time, it has evolved into an entertainment system that includes person-to-person communication, global positioning information, and the Internet, just to name a few. Each of these new features adds to the amount of information that drivers must absorb, leading to potential distraction and possible increases in the number and types of accidents. In order to provide an overview of these issues, this paper summarizes previous work on driver distraction and workload, demonstrating the importance of addressing those issues that compete for driver attention and action. In addition, a test platform vehicle is introduced which has the capability of assessing modified dashboards and consoles, as well as the ability to acquire relevant driving performance data. Future efforts with this test platform will be directed toward helping to resolve the critical tug-of-war between providing more information and entertainment while keeping drivers and their passengers safe. The long-term goal of this research is to evaluate the various technological innovations available for inclusion in the driving environment and determining how to optimize driver information delivery without excessive distraction and workload. The information presented herein is the first step in that effort of developing an adaptive distraction/workload management system that monitors performance metrics and provides selected feedback to drivers. The test platform (1973 VW Beetle converted to a plug-in series hybrid) can provide speed, location (GPS), 3-D acceleration, and rear proximity detection. The test drive route was a 2 km × 3 km city street circuit which took approximately 25 minutes to complete. Data is provided herein to demonstrate these capabilities. In addition, the platform has driver selectable layouts for the instrument cluster and console (LCD screens). The test platform is planned for use to determine driver preferences (e.g., dashboard/console configurations) and attention performance in addition to identifying optimal real-time feedback for drivers with different demographics.

This study investigates the vibration power flow behavior and performance of inerter-based vibration isolators mounted on finite and infinite flexible beam structures. Two configurations of vibration isolators with spring, damper, and inerter as well as different rigidities of finite and infinite foundation structures are considered. Both the time-averaged power flow transmission and the force transmissibility are studied and used as indices to evaluate the isolation performance. Comparisons are made between the two proposed configurations of inerter-based isolators and the conventional spring-damper isolators to show potential performance benefits of including inerter for effective vibration isolation. It is shown that by configuring the inerter, spring, and damper in parallel in the isolator, anti-peaks are introduced in the time-averaged transmitted power and force transmissibility at specific frequencies such that the vibration transmission to the foundation can be greatly suppressed. When the inerter is connected in series with a spring-damper unit and then in-parallel with a spring, considerable improvement in vibration isolation can be achieved near the original peak frequency while maintaining good high-frequency isolation performance. The study provides better understanding of the effects of adding inerters to vibration isolators mounted on a flexible foundation, and benefits enhanced designs of inerter-based vibration suppression systems.

The automation and improved design and performance of Flow Injection Gas Diffusion-Ion Chromatography (FIGD-IC), a novel technique for the simultaneous analysis of trace ammonia (NH3) and methylamines (MAs) in aqueous media, is presented. Automated Flow Injection Gas Diffusion (FIGD) promotes the selective transmembrane diffusion of MAs and NH3from aqueous sample under strongly alkaline (pH > 12, NaOH), chelated (EDTA) conditions into a recycled acidic acceptor stream. The acceptor is then injected onto an ion chromatograph where NH3and the MAs are fully resolved as their cations and detected conductimetrically. A versatile PC interfaced control unit and data capture unit (DCU) are employed in series to direct the selonoid valve switching sequence, IC operation and collection of data. Automation, together with other modifications improved both linearily (R2> 0.99 MAs 0-100 nM, NH30-1000 nM) and precision (<8%) of FIGD-IC at nanomolar concentrations, compared with the manual procedure. The system was successfully applied to the determination of MAs and NH3in seawater and in trapped particulate and gaseous atmospheric samples during an oceanographic research cruise.

We propose a sensor consisting of small-sized coils connected in series and a detection method for the sensor based on the iteration of the periodic time difference. The evaluation results are also presented and show the effectiveness of the proposed system. The target performance of the sensor is as follows: (i) a detection range from 0 to ±100 Nm, (ii) a hysteresis error of less than 1%, (iii) an angular-dependent noise of less than 2%, and (iv) a sensor drift of less than 2%. From the evaluation results, it is clear that these performance targets, as well as a sufficient response time, are realized.

AbstractFederated learning (FL) is a distributed learning approach, which allows the distributed computing nodes to collaboratively develop a global model while keeping their data locally. However, the issues of privacy-preserving and performance improvement hinder the applications of the FL in the industrial cyber-physical systems (ICPSs). In this work, we propose a privacy-preserving momentum FL approach, named PMFL, which uses the momentum term to accelerate the model convergence rate during the training process. Furthermore, a fully homomorphic encryption scheme CKKS is adopted to encrypt the gradient parameters of the industrial agents’ models for preserving their local privacy information. In particular, the cloud server calculates the global encrypted momentum term by utilizing the encrypted gradients based on the momentum gradient descent optimization algorithm (MGD). The performance of the proposed PMFL is evaluated on two common deep learning datasets, i.e., MNIST and Fashion-MNIST. Theoretical analysis and experiment results confirm that the proposed approach can improve the convergence rate while preserving the privacy information of the industrial agents.
