Identification of lti time-delay systems with missing output data using GEM algorithm
Full text linkThis paper considers the parameter estimation for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems in an input-output setting with output error (OE) time-delay model structure. The problem of missing data is commonly experienced in industry due to irregular sampling, sensor failure, data deletion in data preprocessing, network transmission fault, and so forth; to deal with the identification of LTI systems with time-delay in incomplete-data problem, the generalized expectation-maximization (GEM) algorithm is adopted to estimate the model parameters and the time-delay simultaneously. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2014 Xianqiang Yang and Hamid Reza Karimi

Experimental study on antivibration control of electrical power steering systems
Full text linkWe focus on the antivibration controller design problem for electrical power steering (EPS) systems. The EPS system has significant advantages over the traditional hydraulic steering system. However, the improper motor controller design would lead to the steering wheel vibration. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the antivibration control strategy. For the implementation study, we also present the motor driver design and the software design which is used to monitor the sensors and the control signal. Based on the investigation on the regular assistant algorithm, we summarize the difficulties and problems encountered by the regular algorithm. After that, in order to improve the performance of antivibration and the human-like steering feeling, we propose a new assistant strategy for the EPS. The experiment results of the bench test illustrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed control strategy. Compared with the regular controller, the proposed antivibration control reduces the vibration of the steering wheel a lot. © 2014 Zhaojian Wang and Hamid Reza Karimi
Quality-related fault detection and diagnosis: a technical review and summary
No full textQuality-related fault detection and diagnosis (QrFDD) is an emerging research subject in the field of multivariate statistical process monitoring and has received great attention from academia and industry in recent years. Compared with traditional multivariate statistical process monitoring methods, QrFDD methods can decompose the process variable space into orthogonal subspaces according to the correlation between input and output so that faults affecting output and faults that do not affect output can be diagnosed in different subspaces. Thanks to this feature, the QrFDD methods have important application values in reducing unnecessary maintenance time and costs, as well as improving production efficiency. Since the decade so far proposed, many outstanding research results have been produced; however, the technical route and implementation algorithm of these achievements are not all the same. In this chapter, we will conduct a technical review and summary of the classical achievements, including their principles, implementation algorithms, technical advantages, and defects. At the same time, we will introduce some of our latest research results and look forward to the future development trend of QrFDD from the perspectives of technology and demand

Stability in mean of partial variables for coupled stochastic reaction-diffusion systems on networks: A graph approach
Full text linkThis paper is devoted to investigating stability in mean of partial variables for coupled stochastic reaction-diffusion systems on networks (CSRDSNs). By transforming the integral of the trajectory with respect to spatial variables as the solution of the stochastic ordinary differential equations (SODE) and using Itô formula, we establish some novel stability principles for uniform stability in mean, asymptotic stability in mean, uniformly asymptotic stability in mean, and exponential stability in mean of partial variables for CSRDSNs. These stability principles have a close relation with the topology property of the network. We also provide a systematic method for constructing global Lyapunov function for these CSRDSNs by using graph theory. The new method can help to analyze the dynamics of complex networks. An example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the obtained results. © 2014 Yonggui Kao and Hamid Reza Karimi
