In this paper, an Internal model Controller (IMC) based PID with fractional filter for a first order plus time delay process is proposed. The structure of the controller has two parts, one is integer PID controller part cascaded with fractional filter. The proposed controller has two tuning factors λ, filter time constant and a, fractional order of the filter. In this work, the two factors are decided in order to obtain low Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE). The effectiveness of the proposed controller is studied by considering a non linear (hopper tank) process. The experimental set up is fabricated in the laboratory and then data driven model is developed from the experimental data. The non linear process model is linearised using piecewise linearization and two linear regions are obtained. At each operating point, linear first order plus dead time model is obtained and the controller is designed for the same. To show the practical applicability, the proposed controller is implemented for the proposed experimental laboratory prototype.

The present paper proposes an approach for the development of a non-linear model-based predictive controller (NMPC) using a non-linear process model based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). This work exploits recent trends on ANN literature using a TensorFlow implementation and shows how they can be efficiently used as support for closed-loop control systems. Furthermore, it evaluates how the generalization capability problems of neural networks can be efficiently overcome when the model that supports the control algorithm is used outside of its initial training conditions. The process’s transient response performance and steady-state error are parameters under focus and will be evaluated using a MATLAB’s Simulink implementation of a Coupled Tank Liquid Level controller and a Yeast Fermentation Reaction Temperature controller, two well-known benchmark systems for non-linear control problems.

According to the characteristics of ship dynamic positioning system, internal model controller is presented based on the mathematical model of ship dynamic positioning system. First, first-order internal model controller is designed in the surge motion. Then, aiming at the coupling characteristics on the movement of sway and yaw, decoupling internal model controller is designed. Simulation results show that the designed controller is effective for the dynamic positioning of ships.

This paper reports on the study of microporous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) foams as a highly deformable dielectric material used in the composition of flexible capacitive pressure sensors dedicated to wearable use. A fabrication process allowing the porosity of the foams to be adjusted was proposed and the fabricated foams were characterized. Then, elementary capacitive pressure sensors (15 × 15 mm2 square shaped electrodes) were elaborated with fabricated foams (5 mm or 10 mm thick) and were electromechanically characterized. Since the sensor responses under load are strongly non-linear, a behavioral non-linear model (first order exponential) was proposed, adjusted to the experimental data, and used to objectively estimate the sensor performances in terms of sensitivity and measurement range. The main conclusions of this study are that the porosity of the PDMS foams can be adjusted through the sugar:PDMS volume ratio and the size of sugar crystals used to fabricate the foams. Additionally, the porosity of the foams significantly modified the sensor performances. Indeed, compared to bulk PDMS sensors of the same size, the sensitivity of porous PDMS sensors could be multiplied by a factor up to 100 (the sensitivity is 0.14 %.kPa−1 for a bulk PDMS sensor and up to 13.7 %.kPa−1 for a porous PDMS sensor of the same dimensions), while the measurement range was reduced from a factor of 2 to 3 (from 594 kPa for a bulk PDMS sensor down to between 255 and 177 kPa for a PDMS foam sensor of the same dimensions, according to the porosity). This study opens the way to the design and fabrication of wearable flexible pressure sensors with adjustable performances through the control of the porosity of the fabricated PDMS foams.
