Resilient active seismic response control of structural systems

This paper proposes a dissipative resilient observer and controller (DROC) design for a network controlled system (NCS) that handles faults, implementation errors, or cyberattacks that can be modeled as bounded controller or observer gain perturbations. It presents linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions for the robust stability of the system in the presence of bounded perturbations in the observer and controller. Furthermore, a new LMI-based time-delay control (TDC) algorithm that mitigates the effects of perturbations due to time-delays in the NCS is introduced. The robust methodology is applied to active control of a scaled model of a structural system equipped with an active mass driver system. The results demonstrate that the proposed methodology is robust and ensures stable system response due to various types of earthquake base excitations.

Delayed Feedback Control of Hidden Chaos in the Unified Chaotic System between the Sprott C System and Yang System

In this paper, the influence of delayed feedback on the unified chaotic system from the Sprott C system and Yang system is studied. The Hopf bifurcation and dynamic behavior of the system are fully studied by using the central manifold theorem and bifurcation theory. The explicit formula, bifurcation direction, and stability of the periodic solution of bifurcation are given correspondingly. The Hopf bifurcation diagram and chaotic phenomenon are also analyzed by numerical simulation to prove the correctness of the theory. It shows that this delay control can only be applied to the hidden chaos with two stable equilibria.

Nonlinear Vibration Control for Nanobeam with Time Delay by Field Effect Transistor Sensing

A vibration control signal sensing method is proposed utilizing the grid electrode displacement sensitive effect of field-effect transistors. The signal sensing method is applied to nonlinear resonance delay control of a nanobeam that is used as the core component of nano–microdevices. The nonlinear vibration dynamical model of the nanobeam based on the field-effect tube sensing is established and the differential equation of motion with time delay control is presented. The amplitude frequency response equation and phase frequency response equation of the nanobeam are obtained by analyzing the first-order approximate solution of the primary and superharmonic vibration of the nonlinear equation with multi-scale method. The vibration feedback gain and time delay can affect the vibration amplitude and nonlinear behavior of the nanobeam. The nonlinear vibration of the nanobeam can be adjusted and effectively controlled by selecting appropriate feedback gains and time delays.
