Abstract Real rotor with multiple disks, ball bearings and flexible bearing supports has been considered in the present work. Reduced order model required for simulations of the dynamic system is developed using multi-objective genetic algorithms by matching its dynamic response with full order Finite Element Method based model. This enables us the possibility of including ball bearing dynamics as well as experimental data in model updating. In a rotating machinery, multiple types of faults can be expected during its service life, such as transverse breathing crack, looseness of bearing supports and unbalance. Rotor crack can be quantified by using the dynamic response of the rotor under coast up conditions in open loop situation using Pattern Search optimization. Wavelet transformations are used to denoise the signal and enhance the estimation accuracy.

The paper deals with methods of equivalence of boundary conditions in finite element models that are based on finite element model updating technique. The proposed methods are based on the determination of the stiffness parameters in the section plate or region, where the boundary condition or the removed part of the model is replaced by the bushing connector. Two methods for determining its elastic properties are described. In the first case, the stiffness coefficients are determined by a series of static finite element analyses that are used to obtain the response of the removed part to the six basic types of loads. The second method is a combination of experimental and numerical approaches. The natural frequencies obtained by the measurement are used in finite element (FE) optimization, in which the response of the model is tuned by changing the stiffness coefficients of the bushing. Both methods provide a good estimate of the stiffness at the region where the model is replaced by an equivalent boundary condition. This increases the accuracy of the numerical model and also saves computational time and capacity due to element reduction.

Purpose Control-signal-to-output-voltage transfer function of the conventional boost converter has at least one right-half plane zero (RHPZ) in the continuous conduction mode which can restrict the open-loop bandwidth of the converter. This problem can complicate the control design for the load voltage regulation and conversely, impact on the stability of the closed-loop system. To remove this positive zero and improve the dynamic performance, this paper aims to suggest a novel boost topology with a step-up voltage gain by developing the circuit diagram of a conventional boost converter. Design/methodology/approach Using a transformer, two different pathways are provided for a classical boost circuit. Hence, the effect of the RHPZ can be easily canceled and the voltage gain can be enhanced which provides conditions for achieving a smaller working duty cycle and reducing the voltage stress of the power switch. Using this technique makes it possible to achieve a good dynamic response compared to the classical boost converter. Findings The observations show that the phase margin of the proposed boost converter can be adequately improved, its bandwidth is largely increased, due to its minimum-phase structure through RHPZ cancellation. It is suitable for fast dynamic response applications such as micro-inverters and fuel cells. Originality/value The introduced method is analytically studied via determining the state-space model and necessary criteria are obtained to achieve a minimum-phase structure. Practical observations of a constructed prototype for the voltage conversion from 24 V to 100 V and various load conditions are shown.

A new leaking valve-pump parallel control (LVPC) oil hydraulic system is proposed to improve the performance of dynamic response of present variable speed pump control (VSPC) system, which is an oil hydraulic control system with saving energy. In the LVPC, a control valve is operating at leaking status, together with a variable speed pump, to regulate the system flow of hydraulic oil simultaneously. Therefore, the degree of valve control and pump control can be adjusted by regulating the valve-pump weight ratio. The LVPC system design, mathematical model development, system parameter and control performance analysis are carried out systematically followed by an experimental for validation process. Results have shown that after introducing the valve control, the total leakage coefficient increases significantly over a wide range with the operating point and this further increases damping ratios and reduces the velocity stiffness. As the valve-pump weight ratio determines the flow distribution between the valve and the pump and the weight factors of the valve and/or the pump controls determines the response speed of the LVPC system, thus if the weight factors are constrained properly, the LVPC system will eventually have a large synthetic open-loop gain and it will respond faster than the VSPC system. The LVPC will enrich the control schemes of oil hydraulic system and has potential value in application requiring of fast response.

In general, mechanical systems with closed-loop mechanisms can achieve significantly higher operating speeds as compared to open-loop mechanisms such as robots performing identical tasks. In this brief paper, the reason for the superior dynamic performance of closed-loop mechanisms as compared to open-loop mechanisms performing identical tasks is shown to be the inherent dynamic response limitations of the actuation devices in open-loop dynamic systems. Several examples are provided.

Fly back converter is the most popular converter because of its simplicity, low part counts and isolation. It occupies less volume and it saves cost. Fly back converter steps up and step down the voltage with the same polarity. Open loop operation remains insensitive to the input voltage and load variations. Matlab Simulink model for Fly back converter is established using PI controller. Open loop Fly back converter system and closed loop fly back converter systems are simulated and their outcomes are compared. Comparison is done in terms of Rise time ,Settling time and steady state error
