The problem of controlling the rectilinear motion of an open container without exceeding a prescribed liquid level and other constraints is considered using a recently-developed constrained sliding mode control design methodology based on invariant cylinders. A conventional sliding mode regulator is designed first to address nominal performance in the sliding mode. Then an robustly-invariant cylinder is constructed and used to describe the set of safe initial conditions from which the closed-loop controller can be operated without constraint violation. Simulations of a typical transfer illustrate the usefulness of the method in an industrial setting. Experimental results corresponding to a high-speed transfer validate the theory.

Aluminium alloys used in automobile brake master cylinder pistons wear by corrosion due to contamination and chemical reaction of the contacting brake fluid. The study investigates the corrosion of electroless-nickel (EN) deposition enhanced cast aluminium alloy master cylinder piston surfaces immersed in hydraulic brake oil. Cast specimens were produced from the as-received wrought A6061 alloy scrap by sand casting. EN plated as-received and cast aluminium alloys specimens were immersed fully in brake oil for 1680 hours and corrosion rates were determined every 24 hours. Test samples were characterised using the hardness tester, atomic absorption spectrometer, metallurgical photo-microscope, x-ray diffractometer; and SEM with EDX attachment. Both surfaces corroded in the order of electroless-nickel plated cast aluminium alloy (ENCA) < electroless-nickel plated as-received aluminium alloy (ENAA) at 0.0235 and 0.0251 rates (mg/mm2/y) results which showed improvement in the corrosion resistance with significant influence of electroless-nickel coating in reducing corrosion rates of aluminium alloy in brake oil.
