system compared with the passive suspension system. Comparison between the efficiency of the final controller
and linear quadratic regulator embedded in MatlabSimulink
is made. The mathematical modelling and simulation studies proved that SMC with disturbance observer strategy has better performance than LQR control system and the ability to absorb disturbance for SMC is much better than LQR controller.
Perceptron Neural Networks (MLP-NN). Later a comparative performance of the approaches used is presented and discussed. Finally, the validity of the obtained model was investigated using correlation tests.
suppress the vibration.
simulation environment characterizing the dynamic behavior of a flexible rectangular plate system is developed using the central finite difference (FD) techniques. The plate thus developed is excited by a uniformly distributed random disturbance and the input–output data of the system acquired is used for black-box modeling the system with the GA optimization using an autoregressive model structure. Model validity tests based on statistical measures and output prediction are carried out. The prediction capability of the model is further examined with unseen data. It is demonstrated that the GA gives faster convergence to an optimum solution and the model obtained characterizes the dynamic system behavior of the system well.
visualise the behaviour of flexible structures with given physical characteristics, and to test and validate controller designs. Furthermore, the environment allows users to execute such processes repeatedly in a friendly and easy manner. Simulation algorithms based on finite difference scheme in characterizing the
dynamic behaviour of flexible structures with different boundary conditions are incorporated. Controller-design strategies, parametric as well as nonparametric, are integrated within this framework. The design and implementation of the interactive learning system incorporating the simulation algorithms, modelling and control strategies, are developed using MATLAB. The environment allows the user to specify the boundary conditions and physical properties of the structure including the dimensions and material type, and provides the response of
the structure to user-specified disturbances in the time and frequency domains. The result of the simulation is further utilized in the modelling and control of the specified flexible structure. The environment, thus developed, forms a useful interactive and user-friendly learning and education facility.
The attenuation of the beam is validated through time and frequency responses. The effect of proportional gain on the dynamic behavior of the actuator is also reported. Simulation is done using LabVIEW graphical programming environment. Results of the study clearly reveal the effectiveness of proportional control scheme in reducing the vibration of the beam.
is then verified within the AVC system. The "euro- AVC algorithm thus developed is implemented within a flexible plate simulation environment and its performance in the reduction of deflection at the centre of the plate is assessed. The validation of the algorithm is presented in both the time and frequency domains. Investigations reveal that the developed direct neuro-AVC controller perform very well in the suppression of vibration of a flexible plate structure.
