In this paper a dynamic simulation methodology of systems is presented by using ADAMS/MATLAB co-simulation. This methodology allows simulation, development and validation of different control strategiesfor robotic manipulator models in a fast way. It provides a first stage into the design of robotic prototypes for researchers and professionals. Finally, the methodology was validated by constructing a simulation model of a double pendulum and by implementing a PD type control strategy.

A hysteretic operator is proposed to set up an expanded input space so as to transform the multi-valued mapping of hysteresis to a one-to-one mapping so that the neural networks can be applied to model of the behavior of hysteresis. Based on the proposed neural modeling strategy for hysteresis, a pseudo control scheme is developed to handle the control of nonlinear dynamic systems with hysteresis. A neural estimator is constructed to predict the system residual so that it avoids constructing the inverse model of hysteresis. Thus, the control strategy can be used for the case where the output of hysteresis is unmeasurable directly. Then, the corresponding adaptive control strategy is presented. The application of the novel modeling approach to hysteresis in a piezoelectric actuator is illustrated. Then a numerical example of using the proposed control strategy for a nonlinear system with hysteresis is presented.

Reconfigurable Modular robots can adapt their morphologies and their gaits for locomotion through different environments, whether like a snake for moving through constrained spaces or in a wheel-like shape for efficient and fast rolling on flat terrain. This paper proposes a new, scalable biologically-inspired legged style of locomotion for this class of robots. Passively compliant leg attachments are utilized to achieve a dynamic running gait using body articulation. A dynamic simulation as well as experimental data showing that we have achieved stable dynamic locomotion is presented. Although the robot design and control strategy are, in principle, scalable to any number of leg pairs, results are given for a hexapedal robot configuration. This prototype represents the first example of dynamic legged locomotion driven only by body articulation.

Abstract. A spatial and temporal Monte-Carlo simulation model was developed to analyse the epidemiology and control of foot and mouth disease (FMD). Animal, people and vehicle contacts as well as airborne and local spread represented the FMD virus transmission between farms housing cattle, pigs or sheep. Contacts were explicitly modelled by routes, airborne transmission by the Gaussian Dispersion model and local spread by distance dependent transmission probabilities. Control measures were implemented according to the EU Directive (2003/85/EG). A sensitivity analysis with a two-level fractional factorial design was used to examine the robustness of the simulation model to extreme input values. The influence of eleven input parameters and interactions between them were estimated: ability of airborne spread, duration of the incubation period, time from infection until infectivity, time from onset of clinical signs until diagnosis, farm density, type of index case, number of farms visited per route, visiting interval, type of the animal sales, control strategy, and delay until start of control strategies. The considered parameters as well as certain two-factor interactions between them showed a significant impact on the epidemic duration and the number of infected and culled farms. Particularly, the parameter airborne spread, farm density, number of farms visited per route and control strategy influenced the course of the epidemic. The consideration of airborne spread as well as the implementation of contacts between farms with routes allowed a detailed analysis of these transmission paths.

A hybrid system scheme was designed for the sweeper truck, to solve the problems of high fuel consumption and poor emission performance of traditional sweeper. The control strategy was determined for the hybrid power system. The simulation model of hybrid sweeper truck was built with Matlab/Simulink, and off-line simulation was completed to verify the power system scheme and control strategy, the simulation results indicate that the hybrid sweep truck can realize functions of sweeper and improve the fuel economy.

Simulation offers a quick, controllable and tunable approach for prototyping complex assembly processes in manufacturing environments. In order to improve the responsiveness of production system, this paper proposes a new approach based on data driven modeling and simulation methodology, it can automatically generate the simulation model of production system and realize rapid modification. The generated model also has high efficiency, readability and reusability. The approach is developed for an automotive assembly line. Through the modeling approach of IDEF1X, a data structure of simulation model was constructed, a model simulator was implemented in Arena by VBA program, and then a simulation model for target production system was built automatically through the attribute values in the data structure. The management and control process of assembly line is divided into different levels by hierarchical modeling approach, modeling element and control logic of simulation are separated. The case study of the automotive assembly line demonstrates the validity of data driven modeling and simulation methodology.

Centrifugal Flying Shear is one of the most advanced equipments, which is widely used in tandem mill production lines because of its simple structure and high shearing precision. In this paper, the working principle of the centrifugal flying shear was introduced; the three-dimensional model of the centrifugal flying shear was established; the structural analysis and the dynamic simulation of the flying shear, with the movement rule and trajectory, were made based on MATLAB/SimMechanics and Solidworks/COSMOS Motion; and the control strategy of realizing scale shearing was proposed. The results obtained provide theoretical basis for design of the electronic control system, and facilitate further analysis of the shearing process and parameter optimization design of similar flying shears.
