Control and Filtering for Discrete Linear Repetitive Processes with H infty and ell 2--ell infty Performance
No full textRepetitive processes are characterized by a series of sweeps, termed passes, through a set of dynamics defined over a finite duration known as the pass length. On each pass an output, termed the pass profile, is produced which acts as a forcing function on, and hence contributes to, the dynamics of the next pass profile. This can lead to oscillations which increase in amplitude in the pass to pass direction and cannot be controlled by standard control laws. Here we give new results on the design of physically based control laws for the sub-class of so-called discrete linear repetitive processes which arise in applications areas such as iterative learning control. The main contribution is to show how control law design can be undertaken within the framework of a general robust filtering problem with guaranteed levels of performance. In particular, we develop algorithms for the design of an H? and dynamic output feedback controller and filter which guarantees that the resulting controlled (filtering error) process, respectively, is stable along the pass and has prescribed disturbance attenuation performance as measured by and – norms

Empress Wu the Great Tang Dynasty China
No full textEurope and Great Britain have had many sovereign queens in the course of history. In ancient China, there was none of that. Only one Empress ever ruled China in her own name Empress Wu.

A boundary element model for nonlinear viscoelasticity
No full textThe boundary element methodology is applied to the analysis of non-linear viscoelastic solids. Theadopted non-linear model uses the same relaxation moduli as the respective linear relations but with a time shiftdepending on the volumetric strain. Nonlinearity introduces an irreducible domain integral into the originalintegral equation derived for linear viscoelastic solids. This necessitates the evaluation of domain strains, whichrelies on proper differentiation of an integral with a strong kernel singularity. A time domain formulation isimplemented through a numerical integration algorithm. The effectiveness of the developed numerical tool isdemonstrated through the analysis of a plate with a central crack. The results are compared with respectivepredictions by the finite element metho
