This work presents a comprehensive approach to the control of tool's position, in the presence of machine tool structure vibration, nonlinear cutting force, and random tool vibration due to random distribution of microhardness of workpiece material. The controller is combination of Proportional and linear quadratic gaussian- (P-LQG-) type constructed from an augmented model of both tool-actuator dynamics and a nonlinear dynamic model relating tool displacement to cutting forces. The latter model is obtained using black-box system identification of experimental orthogonal cutting data in which tool displacement is the input and cutting force is the output. The controller is evaluated and its performance is demonstrated.

This paper presents dynamic modelling, control design, simulation results, and real time Virtual Reality (VR)-based human-in-the-loop testing for a wheel loader control system. In particular, a loader with electro-hydraulic actuation is considered. A detailed nonlinear dynamic model is developed for the hydraulic system and the loader linkage. The hydraulic model includes a load sensing pump, valves, and cylinders. The linkage model represents a two degree of freedom loader with lift and tilt functions. An LQG-based (Linear Quadratic Gaussian) robust controller is designed for automatic bucket levelling to assist the operator during the boom motion. The controller design is tested with a nonlinear model in a real-time VR simulation. In this VR simulation, the operator interacts with the model using a joystick input. The loader linkage geometry is displayed to the operator in real time using a VR display.

Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (H-UAVs) are currently a very interesting field of research in the modern scientific community due to their ability to perform Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) and Conventional Take-Off and Landing (CTOL). This paper focuses on the Dual Tilt-wing UAV, a vehicle capable of performing both flight modes (VTOL and CTOL). The UAV complete dynamic model is obtained using the Newton–Euler formulation, which includes aerodynamic effects, as the drag and lift forces of the wings, which are a function of airstream generated by the rotors, the cruise speed, tilt-wing angle and angle of attack. The airstream velocity generated by the rotors is studied in a test bench. The projected area on the UAV wing that is affected by the airstream generated by the rotors is specified and 3D aerodynamic analysis is performed for this region. In addition, aerodynamic coefficients of the UAV in VTOL mode are calculated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics method (CFD) and are embedded into the nonlinear dynamic model. To validate the complete dynamic model, PD controllers are adopted for altitude and attitude control of the vehicle in VTOL mode, the controllers are simulated and implemented in the vehicle for indoor and outdoor flight experiments.

This paper contains two contributions. First it is shown, in a simulation study using the IAWQ model, that a linear multivariable time-invariant state-space model can be used to predict the ammonium and nitrate concentration in the last aerated zone in a pre-denitrifying activated sludge process. Secondly, using the estimated linear model, a multivariable linear quadratic (LQ) controller is designed and used to control the ammonium and nitrate concentration.

Abstract This paper researches on the hydraulic servo system by using ordinary on-off valves. The mathematic model of an asymmetric hydraulic cylinder servo control system is built, and its characteristic is analysed here. To reduce the static and dynamic characteristic differences between forward and reverse motion of asymmetric cylinder, and improve system’s performance, a self-tuning linear quadratic gaussian optimum controller (SLQG) is designed successful. In the end, an asymmetric hydraulic cylinder servo system of paint robot is researched. The result shows that the above method is effective.

Abstract This work presents an analytical cutting force modeling for micro-slot grinding. Contribution of the work lies in the consideration of both primary and secondary tool surface interactions with the work surface as compared to the previous works where only primary tool surface interaction was considered during cutting force modeling. Tool secondary surface interaction with workpiece is divided into two parts: cutting/ ploughing by abrasive grits present in exterior margin of the secondary tool surface and sliding/adhesion by abrasive grits in the inner margins of the secondary tool surface. Orthogonal cutting force model and indentation based fracture model is considered for cutting by both the abrasives of primary tool surface and the abrasives of exterior margin on the secondary surface. Asperity level sliding and adhesion model is adopted to solve the interaction between the workpiece and the interior margin abrasives of secondary tool surface. Experimental measurement of polycrystalline diamond tool surface topography is carried out and surface data is processed with image processing tools to determine the tool surface statistics viz., cutting edge density, grit height distribution and abrasive grit geometrical measures. Micro-slot grinding experiments are carried out on BK7 glass at varying feed rate and axial depths of cut to validate the simulated cutting forces. Simulated cutting forces considering both primary and secondary tool surface interactions are found to be much closer to the experimental cutting forces as compared to the simulated cutting forces considering only primary tool surface interaction.

In this paper, two efficient control algorithms are discussed viz., Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and Dynamic Matrix Controller (DMC) and their applicability has been demonstrated through case study with a complex interacting process viz., a laboratory based four tank liquid storage system. The process has Two Input Two Output (TITO) structure and is available for experimental study. A mathematical model of the process has been developed using first principles. Model parameters have been estimated through the experimentation results. The performance of the controllers (LQR and DMC) has been compared to that of industrially more accepted PID controller.

The paper presents the modeling and control design of a floating piston electro-pneumatic gearbox actuator and, moreover, the industrial validation of the controller system. As part of a heavy-duty vehicle, it needs to meet strict and contradictory requirements and units applying the system with different supply pressures in order to operate under various environmental conditions. Because of the high control frequency domain of the real system, post-modern control methods with high computational demands could not be used as they do not meet real-time requirements on automotive level. During the modeling phase, the essential simplifications are shown with the awareness of the trade-off between calculation speed and numerical accuracy to generate a multi-state piecewise-linear system. Two LTI control methods are introduced, i.e., a PD and an Linear-Quadratic Regulators (LQR) solution, in which the continuous control signals are transformed into discrete voltage solenoid commands for the valves. The validation of both the model and the control system are performed on a real physical implementation. The results show that both modeling and control design are suitable for the control tasks using floating piston cylinders and, moreover, these methods can be extended to electro-pneumatic cylinders with different layouts.

Jet engine impeller blades are flank-milled with tapered, helical, ball-end mills on five-axis machining centers. The impellers are made from difficult-to-cut titanium or nickel alloys, and the blades must be machined within tight tolerances. As a consequence, deflections of the tool and flexible workpiece can jeopardize the precision of the impellers during milling. This work is the first of a two part paper on cutting force prediction and feed optimization for the five-axis flank milling of an impeller. In Part I, a mathematical model for predicting cutting forces is presented for five-axis machining with tapered, helical, ball-end mills with variable pitch and serrated flutes. The cutter is divided axially into a number of differential elements, each with its own feed coordinate system due to five-axis motion. At each element, the total velocity due to translation and rotation is split into horizontal and vertical feed components, which are used to calculate total chip thickness along the cutting edge. The cutting forces for each element are calculated by transforming friction angle, shear stress and shear angle from an orthogonal cutting database to the oblique cutting plane. The distributed cutting load is digitally summed to obtain the total forces acting on the cutter and blade. The model can be used for general five-axis flank milling processes, and supports a variety of cutting tools. Predicted cutting force measurements are shown to be in reasonable agreement with those collected during a roughing operation on a prototype integrally bladed rotor (IBR).

The objective of this paper is to model a thermoelastic beam and use thermoelectric heat actuators dispersed over the beam to control not only its vibration, but also its temperature. The model is represented by two coupled partial differential equations governing the elastic bending displacement and temperature variation over the length of the beam. The partial differential equations are replaced by a set of ordinary differential equations through discretization. The first-order ordinary differential equations are cast in the compact state-space form to be used in the thermoelastic analysis and control. The Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) is used for control design. An numerical application to a uniform cantilever beam demonstrates the coupling between the temperature and the elastic displacement and feasibility of using thermoelectric actuators in controlling the vibration and temperature simultaneously.
