Abstract:
Wind speed uncertainty and measurement noise affect the control effect in hydraulic wind turbine systems. This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) method with a dynamic Kalman filter (KF) based on a linear parameter-varying (LPV) model to address this problem. First of all, the LPV model for a nonlinear system of a hydraulic wind turbine is established using function substitution. Then, a LPV-based KF is introduced into the MPC to provide more precise estimated results and improve the anti-interference ability of the system. According to the current condition of the hydraulic wind turbine, the method updates the Kalman state estimator at each sampling instant and computes the optimal control input by solving a quadratic programming (QP) optimization problem. The performance and the efficiency of the proposed method is validated in simulation and compared with other methods.

Abstract:
The light load linear reciprocating motion device driven by a small-size pneumatic cylinder is most economical, but its velocity and location precision is not good. When substituting the drive for small-size hydraulic cylinder, the significant shortcoming is environmental pollution. If the motion is achieved through rolling screw-nut mechanism driven by stepping motor, the space layout is very inconvenient. A light load linear reciprocating motion device integrating mechanical, electronic and hydraulic technology is designed. In this device, the motion is achieved through short-stroke rolling screw-nut mechanism driven by stepping motor, and then amplified by a splendid internal reflux area effect stroke amplifier. This device has the following noticeable advantages: (1) The location of output hydraulic cylinder is as convenient as common pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. (2) The frequency, displacement and velocity of reciprocating motion can be altered convenient by programming. (3) Higher position precision. (4) The hydraulic fluid in the device is enclosed, so there is no environmental pollution causing by oil leakage and volatilization.

DESIGN OF MICROIRRIGATION SYSTEMS IN SLOPING LANDSUSING LINEAR PROGRAMMING[1] João CarlosCury SaadDepartment of Rural Engineering, College of Agricultural Sciences, São Paulo State University, P.O. 237, CEP 18603-970, Botucatu, SP.

E-mail: mamarino@ucdavis.edu 1 Summary When the area to be irrigated has a high slope gradient in the manifold line direction, an option is to use a tappered pipeline to reduce pipe costs and keep pressure head variations within desired limits. The purpose of this paper was to develop a linear programming model to design a microirrigation system with tappered manifold lines in downhill condition, minimizing the equivalent annual cost of hydraulic network and the energy annual cost, and assuring that the maximum variation in the pressure head previously established will be observed. The input data are: irrigation system layout, cost of all hydraulic network components and energy cost. The output are: equivalent annual cost, pipeline diameter in each line of the system, pressure head in each node, and total operating pressure head. To illustrate its capability, the model was applied in a citrus orchard in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The model proved to be efficient in the design of the irrigation system in terms of emission uniformity desired. The pumping annual cost must be considered in the microirrigation system design because it yields a lower total annual cost when compared with the same alternative without that cost. Keywords: linear programming, optimization, slope land, micro irrigation SAAD, J. C. C.; MARIÑO, M. A. DIMENSIONAMENTO DE SISTEMAS DE IRRIGAÇÃO POR MICROASPERSÃO EM ÁREAS COM DECLIVIDADE UTILIZANDO PROGRAMAÇÃO LINEAR 2 Resumo Quando a área a ser irrigada apresenta um elevado gradiente de declive na direção das linhas de derivação, uma opção de dimensionamento é o uso de tubulações com vários diâmetros para economizar no custo e também para manter a variação de pressão dentro dos limites desejados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um modelo de programação linear para dimensionar sistemas de irrigação por microaspersão com linhas de derivação com mais de um diâmetro e operando em declive, visando a minimização do custo anualizado da rede hidráulica e do custo anual com energia elétrica, além de assegurar que a máxima variação de carga hidráulica na linha será respeitada. Os dados de entrada são: configuração da rede hidráulica do sistema de irrigação, custo de todos os componentes da rede hidráulica e custo da energia. Os dados de saída são: custo anual total, diâmetro da tubulação em cada linha do sistema, carga hidráulica em cada ponto de derivação e altura manométrica total. Para ilustrar a potencialidade do modelo desenvolvido, ele foi aplicado em um pomar de citros no Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. O modelo demonstrou ser eficiente no dimensionamento do sistema de irrigação quanto à obtenção da uniformidade de emissão desejada. O custo anual com bombeamento deve ser considerado no dimensionamento de sistemas de irrigação por microaspersão porque ele gera menores valores de custo anual total quando comparado com a mesma alternativa que não considera aquele custo. UNITERMOS: programação linear, otimização, declividade, microaspersão

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents a novel algorithm driven by the minimization of the transport function for the partitioning of water distribution networks (WDNs) into district metered areas (DMAs). The algorithm is based on the linear programming (LP) embedded inside a multi-objective genetic algorithm, which enables engineering criteria, such as the minimization of the boundary pipes and the maximization of the uniformity of DMAs, to be considered in the partitioning. Furthermore, the application of the algorithm on the dual network topology based on segments and valves guarantees that configurations of DMAs that respect the real positions of isolation valves for WDN partitioning are obtained. After being described on a small WDN, it is successfully validated on a large size WDN, proving better performance than other algorithms in the scientific literature for the generation of engineeringly appealing DMA configurations, with almost identical hydraulic performance to the unpartitioned WDN.

Abstract:
As the advances in computer control technology keep emerging, robotic hydraulic excavator becomes imperative. It can improve excavation accuracy and greatly reduce the operator’s labor intensity. The 12-ton backhoe bucket excavator has been utilized in this research work where this type of excavator is commonly used in engineering work. The kinematics model of operation device (boom, arm, bucket, and swing) in excavator is established in both Denavit-Hartenberg coordinates for easy programming and geometric space for avoiding blind spot. The control approach is based on trajectory tracing method with displacements and velocities feedbacks. The trajectory planning and autodig program is written by Visual C++. By setting the bucket teeth’s trajectory, the program can automatically plan the velocity and acceleration of each hydraulic cylinder and motor. The results are displayed through a 3D entity simulation environment which can present real-time movements of excavator kinematics. Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine and skeletal animation are used to give accurate parametric control and feedback. The simulation result shows that a stable linear autodig can be achieved. The errors between trajectory planning command and simulation model are analyzed.

Abstract:
Abstract The water hammer (WH) phenomenon is one of the most dangerous phenomena in hydraulic systems, especially pipelines, gates, and locks on these lines. There are many analytical solutions to deal with the WH phenomenon, including the treatment of friction losses, but most solutions use linear arithmetic operations, which depart from the actual situation of the WH phenomenon. Also, the methods currently used are most challenging and complex and give imprecise results to treat the mentioned phenomenon. In order to reach a state closer to the situation of losses and stability of the hydraulic system that is close to the actual state, basic partial differential equations were used, taking into account the losses generated in the hydraulic system through mathematical conversion. MATLAB was used to program and solve equations, find mathematical results, draw system diagrams, and simulate a WH wave. Various parameters were investigated to show the stability behavior of the hydraulic system by using state-space Method. So, the effect of the pressure, flow rate, diameter, and fluid type were investigated to calculate the stability of the hydraulic system. The results evaluated showed that the system’s oscillation is less at lower pressure, and the stability period is longer than that at high pressures. In addition, the system needs a longer time to stabilize at the low flow speed due to pressure waves that occur. The stability of the system affected by the WH was examined, and the effect of fluid-specific variables such as velocity, pressure, and type of fluid in addition to the diameter of the pipe and their impact on WH stability was found. The behavior of stability at the WH is nonlinear, and that is why the linear and nonlinear parts of the governing equations of the structure are used to find system through the state-space method through programming and simulation of MATLAB program.

Abstract:
The effects of uncertainties on the performance of a Certainty Equivalent Open Loop Feedback Control approach is investigated throughout simulations of the Quebec Urban Community Sewer Network. The optimization algorithm is based on nonlinear programming with the peculiarity that all the constraints are linear. The hydraulic routine is a Linear Time Invariant (LTI) model associated to a Kalman filter. Preliminary results show the benefit of adding a filtering action to guarantee robust performance in the presence of measurement errors and model mismatch. The selected control scheme seems to be a good compromise between the short computational time required for Real Time Control applications and the high performance expected in the presence of uncertainties.

Abstract:
Side-weirs have been widely used in hydraulic and environmental engineering applications. Side-weir is known as a lateral intake structure, which are significant parts of the distribution channel in irrigation, land drainage, and urban sewerage system, by flow diversion device. Local scour involves the removal of material around piers, abutments, side-weir, spurs, and embankments. Clearwater scour depth based on five dimensional parameters: approach flow velocity (V1/Vc), water head ratio (h1–p)/h1, side-weir length (L/r), side-weir crest height (b/p) and angle of bend θ. The aim of this study is to develop a new formulation for prediction of clear-water scour of side-weir intersection along curved channel using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) which is an algorithm based on genetic algorithms (GA) and genetic programming (GP). In addition, the explicit formulations of the developed GEP models are presented. Also equations are obtained using multiple linear regressions (MLR) and multiple nonlinear regressions (MNRL). The performance of GEP is found more influential than multiple linear regression equation for predicting the clearwater scour depth at side-weir intersection along curved channel. Multiple nonlinear regression equation was quite close to GEP, which serve much simpler model with explicit formulation.

Abstract:
An interval-parameter integer non-linear programming (IPINP) model is developed for the assessment of filter allocation and replacement strategies in a hydraulic contamination control system under uncertainty. The IPINP can handle uncertainties expressed as interval values that exist in the left- and right-hand sides of constraints as well as in the objective function. A piecewise linearization approach is proposed to solve the IPINP model, which has advantages in identifying global optimum and is associated with low computational efforts for an uncertain non-linear programme. The developed method has been applied to a case of planning filter allocation and replacement strategies under uncertainty for a fluid power system (FPS) with a single circuit. Three different contaminant ingression/generation rates are examined based on several filter-installation scenarios. The combination of low-costing suction and return filters exhibits excellent contaminant resistibility along with the optimum replacement periods of filter elements and operation costs under the low and medium contaminant ingression/generation level. The solutions can be used for generating a range of decision alternatives and thus help the decision-makers to identify desired filter allocation and replacement plan with a minimized operation cost and a minimized system-failure risk for FPS.

Abstract:
In this research, the focus is on improving a designer's capability to determine near-optimal sizes of components for a given system architecture. Component sizing is a hard problem to solve because of the presence of competing objectives, requirements from multiple disciplines, and the need for finding a solution quickly for the architecture being considered. In current approaches, designers rely on heuristics and iterate over the multiple objectives and requirements until a satisfactory solution is found. To improve on this state of practice, this research introduces advances in the following two areas: a.) Formulating a component sizing problem in a manner that is convenient to designers and b.) Solving the component sizing problem in an efficient manner so that all of the imposed requirements are satisfied simultaneously and the solution obtained is mathematically optimal. In particular, an acausal, algebraic, equation-based, declarative modeling approach is taken to solve component sizing problems efficiently. This is because global optimization algorithms exist for algebraic models and the computation time is considerably less as compared to the optimization of dynamic simulations. In this thesis, the mathematical programming language known as GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) and its associated global optimization solvers are used to solve component sizing problems efficiently. Mathematical programming languages such as GAMS are not convenient for formulating component sizing problems and therefore the Systems Modeling Language developed by the Object Management Group (OMG SysML ) is used to formally capture and organize models related to component sizing into libraries that can be reused to compose new models quickly by connecting them together. Model-transformations are then used to generate low-level mathematical programming models in GAMS that can be solved using commercial off-the-shelf solvers such as BARON (Branch and Reduce Optimization Navigator) to determine the component sizes that satisfy the requirements and objectives imposed on the system. This framework is illustrated by applying it to an example application for sizing a hydraulic log splitter.

This thesis focuses on several aspects of data perturbation for Linear Programming. Classical questions of degeneracy and post-optimal analysis are given a unified presentation, in a view of new interior point methods of linear programming. The performance of these methods is compared to the simplex algorithm; interior point methods are shown to alleviate some difficulties of representation and solution of linear programs. An affine scaling algorithm is implemented in conjunction with a simple rounding heuristic to asses the benefit of interior point trajectories to provide approximate solutions of linear integer programming.

Error-correcting codes are fundamental tools used to transmit digital information over unreliable channels. Their study goes back to the work of Hamming [Ham50] and Shannon [Sha48], who used them as the basis for the field of information theory. The problem of decoding the original information up to the full error-correcting potential of the system is often very complex, especially for modern codes that approach the theoretical limits of the communication channel. In this thesis we investigate the application of linear programming (LP) relaxation to the problem of decoding an error-correcting code. Linear programming relaxation is a standard technique in approximation algorithms and operations research, and is central to the study of efficient algorithms to find good (albeit suboptimal) solutions to very difficult optimization problems. Our new "LP decoders" have tight combinatorial characterizations of decoding success that can be used to analyze error-correcting performance. Furthermore, LP decoders have the desirable (and rare) property that whenever they output a result, it is guaranteed to be the optimal result: the most likely (ML) information sent over the channel. We refer to this property as the ML certificate property. We provide specific LP decoders for two major families of codes: turbo codes and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. These codes have received a great deal of attention recently due to their unprecedented error-correcting performance.
(cont.) Our decoder is particularly attractive for analysis of these codes because the standard message-passing algorithms used for decoding are often difficult to analyze. For turbo codes, we give a relaxation very close to min-cost flow, and show that the success of the decoder depends on the costs in a certain residual graph. For the case of rate-1/2 repeat-accumulate codes (a certain type of turbo code), we give an inverse polynomial upper bound on the probability of decoding failure. For LDPC codes (or any binary linear code), we give a relaxation based on the factor graph representation of the code. We introduce the concept of fractional distance, which is a function of the relaxation, and show that LP decoding always corrects a number of errors up to half the fractional distance. We show that the fractional distance is exponential in the girth of the factor graph. Furthermore, we give an efficient algorithm to compute this fractional distance. We provide experiments showing that the performance of our decoders are comparable to the standard message-passing decoders. We also give new provably convergent message-passing decoders based on linear programming duality that have the ML certificate property.

Abstract:
In this dissertation, energy efficient hydraulic systems are studied. The research focuses on solutions for linear actuators in mobile applications, with emphasis on construction machines. Alongside the aspect of energy efficiency, the thesis deals with competing aspects in hydraulic system design found in the development of construction machines. Simulation models and controls for different concepts are developed, taking the whole machine into account. In line with this work, several proof of concept demonstrators are developed. First, pump controlled systems are studied and a novel concept based on an open-circuit pump configuration is conceived. Special consideration is paid to multi-mode capabilities that allow for a broadened operating range and potential downsizing of components. Simulation models and controls are developed and the system is experimentally validated in a wheel loader application. Second, the possibility for energy recuperation in valve controlled systems is investigated. In such solutions, a hydraulic motor, added to the meter-out port, is used for energy recovery during load lowering and in multi-function operation. Recuperated energy is either be used momentarily or is stored in a hydraulic accumulator. The proposed solution means an incremental improvement to conventional systems, which is sometimes attractive to machine manufacturers due to fewer uncertainties in reliability, safety and development cost. The energy recovery system is studied on a conceptual level where several alternative systems are proposed and a concept based on a two-machine hydraulic pressure transformer is selected for a deeper control study followed by experimental validation. Third, so-called `common pressure rail' systems are suggested. This technique is well established for rotary drives, at least for the industrial sector. However, in applying this technique to mobile hydraulics, feasible solutions for linear actuators are needed. In this dissertation, two approaches to this problem are presented. The first one is the hydraulic pressure transformer, studied in simulation as the key-component of a `series hybrid' topology for wheel loaders. In the second approach variable displacement linear actuators (VDLA) based on a 4-chamber cylinder and multi-mode control is applied. In a theoretical study a model predictive control approach is suggested and new insights to the trade-off between controllability and energy efficiency of a multi-chamber cylinder are presented. Finally, a fullscale hydraulic hybrid system based on secondary controlled hydraulic motors and VDLAs is designed and experimentally validated on a large excavator.

Abstract:
Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuators combine one or more short-stroke cylinders, and two or more engaging/disengaging mechanisms into one actuator with long, medium, or even unlimited stroke length. The motion of each single short-stroke actuator concatenated by the engaging/disengaging mechanisms forms the motion of the linear incremental hydraulic actuator. The patterns of how these motions are concatenated form the gaits of a specific linear incremental hydraulic actuator. Linear incremental hydraulic actuators may have more than one gait. In an application, the gaits may be combined to achieve optimal performance at various operating points. The distinguishing characteristic of linear incremental hydraulic actuators is the incremental motion. The term incremental actuator is seen as analogous to the incremental versus absolute position sensor. Incremental actuators realize naturally relative positioning. Incremental motion means also that the behavior does not depend on an absolute position but only on the relative position within a cycle or step. Incremental actuators may realize discrete incremental or continuous incremental motion. Discrete incremental actuators can only approach discrete positions, whereby stepper drives are one prominent example. In contrast, continuous incremental actuators may approach any position. Linear electric motors are one example of continuous incremental actuators. The actuator has no inherent limitation in stroke length, as every step or cycle adds only to the state at the beginning of the step or cycle and does not depend on the absolute position. This led to the alternative working title Hydraulic Infinite Linear Actuator. Linear incremental hydraulic actuator provides long stroke, high force, and linear motion and has the potential to decrease the necessary resource usage, minimize environmental impact, e.g. from potential oil spillage, extend the range of feasible products: longer, stiffer, better, etc. This thesis presents an analysis of the characteristics and properties of linear incremental hydraulic actuators as well as the gaits and possible realizations of some gaits. The gait for continuous, smooth motion with two cylinders is comprehensively studied and a control concept for the tracking problem is proposed. The control concept encapsulates the complexity of the linear incremental hydraulic actuator so that an application does not have to deal with it. One other gait, the ballistic gait, which realizes fast, energy-efficient motion, enabling energy recuperation is studied.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2006.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 79-82).
In this thesis, we advance a collection of new geometric techniques for the analysis of combinatorial algorithms. Using these techniques, we resolve several longstanding questions in the theory of linear programming, polytope theory, spectral graph theory, and graph partitioning. The thesis consists of two main parts. In the first part, which is joint work with Daniel Spielman, we present the first randomized polynomial-time simplex algorithm for linear programming, answering a question that has been open for over fifty years. Like the other known polynomial-time algorithms for linear programming, its running time depends polynomially on the number of bits used to represent its input. To do this, we begin by reducing the input linear program to a special form in which we merely need to certify boundedness of the linear program. As boundedness does not depend upon the right-hand-side vector, we run a modified version of the shadow-vertex simplex method in which we start with a random right-hand-side vector and then modify this vector during the course of the algorithm. This allows us to avoid bounding the diameter of the original polytope.
(cont.) Our analysis rests on a geometric statement of independent interest: given a polytope ... in isotropic position, if one makes a polynomially small perturbation to b then the number of edges of the projection of the perturbed polytope onto a random 2-dimensional subspace is expected to be polynomial. In the second part of the thesis, we address two long-open questions about finding good separators in graphs of bounded genus and degree: 1. It is a classical result of Gilbert, Hutchinson, and Tarjan [25] that one can find asymptotically optimal separators on these graphs if he is given both the graph and an embedding of it onto a low genus surface. Does there exist a simple, efficient algorithm to find these separators given only the graph and not the embedding? 2. In practice, spectral partitioning heuristics work extremely well on these graphs. Is there a theoretical reason why this should be the case? We resolve these two questions by showing that a simple spectral algorithm finds separators of cut ratio O( g/n) and vertex bisectors of size O(Vng) in these graphs, both of which are optimal. As our main technical lemma, we prove an O(g/n) bound on the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian of such graphs and show that this is tight, thereby resolving a conjecture of Spielman and Teng.
(cont.) While this lemma is essentially combinatorial in nature, its proof comes from continuous mathematics, drawing on the theory of circle packings and the geometry of compact Riemann surfaces. While the questions addressed in the two parts of the thesis are quite different, we show that a common methodology runs through their solutions. We believe that this methodology provides a powerful approach to the analysis of algorithms that will prove useful in a variety of broader contexts.

Full text
Abstract:
Large scale patterns in the seabed often occur in the nearshore zone of sandy beaches. A widely occurring bed pattern is the crescentic bar. These bed patterns develop under moderate wave conditions, and form a lunate shaped alongshore pattern in front of a coast. Over recent years, knowledge concerning the development, occurrence, and characteristics of these bed patterns has been significantly expanded through field studies and modelling attempts. An example of such a model is the linear stability analysis, which describes the initial development of crescentic bed patterns along an undisturbed beach. To date, comparisons between field measurements and modelling results have been general in nature. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether a linear stability analysis, which is useful for understanding the physics of emerging bed-forms, can be used to make quantitative predictions in the field. To this end a morphodynamical linear stability model (Morfo60, [Calvete et al., 2005]) is used to describe the development of crescentic bed patterns at the coast at the USACE Field Research Facility in Duck, North Carolina, USA. Wave, tide and bathymetry data recorded at Duck over a two month period in 1998 are used to model the development of these morphodynamical patterns. The model predictions are compared with field observations made at Duck, over the same two month period, reported by van Enckevort et al. [2004]. A direct comparison shows that predicted length scales of crescentic bed patterns are similar to those observed. However, the model predictions show more fluctuations than are observed in the field. This is because the model describes the development of crescentic bed patterns starting from an alongshore constant bed, whereas in reality bed patterns already exist in most situations. An algorithm is developed to overcome these fluctuations and identifies the more physically significant model predictions based on large growth rates and consistency in length scales. The moments at which physically significant model predictions occur correspond better with field observations than the original model predictions. The effects of pre-existing bed-forms on the development of crescentic bed patterns are investigated using a non-linear model (Morfo55, [Garnier, 2006]). Results show that pre-existing bed patterns can have significant effects, however, the finally dominant length scale, the linear growth and decay rates, and the migration rate can be accurately described by a linear stability model. Pre-existing length scales that exhibit significant linear growth will remain and undergo further development, whereas length scales that are outside the linear growth rate curve decay and give rise to a bed pattern with a bigger linear growth rate. The conclusions drawn from the research concerning pre-existing bed patterns are applied to improve predictions linear stability model. This results in considerable improvements in the comparison of model predictions with field observations, for certain periods of time.

Abstract:
Modern systems are difficult to design because there are a significant number of potential alternatives to consider. The specification of an alternative includes an architecture (which describes the components and connections of the system) and component sizings (the sizing parameter for each component). In current practice, designers rely mainly on their experience and intuition to select a desired architecture without much computational support and then spend most of their effort on optimizing component sizings. In this paper, an approach for representing an architecture selection as a mixed-integer linear programming optimization is presented; existing solvers are then used to identify promising candidate architectures at early stages of the design process. Mathematical programming is a common optimization technique, but it is rarely used for architecture selection because of the difficulty of manually formulating an architecture selection as a mathematical program. In this paper, the formulation is presented in a modular fashion so that model transformations can be applied to transform a problem formulation that is convenient for designers into the mathematical programming optimization. A modular superstructure representation is used to model the design space; in a superstructure a union of all potential architectures is represented as a set of discrete and continuous variables. Algebraic constraints are added to describe both acceptable variable combinations and system behavior to allow the solver to eliminate clearly poor alternatives and identify promising alternatives. The framework is demonstrated on the selection of an actuation subsystem for a hydraulic excavator, although the solution approach would be similar for most mechanical systems.

Abstract:
Using hybrid powertrains is an attractive idea to reduce the fuel consumption in vehicles. Control strategy is the most challenging subject in designing of a hybrid powertrain. In this paper, an optimized control strategy based on the driving cycle type designed for a hydraulic hybrid bus has been presented. Because of considering the type of the driving cycle, the proposed control strategy can be named as an intelligent one. In this controller, at first, four standard driving cycles have been defined as the reference clusters. Then the optimized control strategy for each cluster has been derived using a dynamic programming algorithm. In addition, several multi-layered perceptron networks are modeled in order to use the output of each optimized control strategy. After that a clustering method with a feature selection algorithm has been implemented to assign degree of similarity to each cluster for the unknown driving cycle. Finally, a linear combination of four optimized control strategy outputs has been used for generating final output of the intelligent control strategy. In this combination, each output is weighted by the corresponding degree of similarity. Here, the hydraulic hybrid bus model is a feed forward one and has been simulated using a compound driving cycle. The compound driving cycle consists of six distinct 100s long portions of the Nuremburg driving cycle. The simulation results show that by using the intelligent control strategy, the fuel consumption of the hybrid bus has been reduced by almost 12% in comparison with the results of a rule-based control strategy.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper deals with the problem of designing a feedback controller, of a prescribed order, for a fixed plant, as well as for an uncertain family of plants containing parameter uncertainty, so that stability, robust stability and robust performance are attained. The desired closed loop specifications considered here are given in terms of a target closed loop system. In general point targets are generically unattainable with a fixed order controller. By enlarging the target from a fixed point set to an interval set the solvability conditions with a fixed order controller are relaxed and a solution is enabled. It is shown that it is possible to devise a simple linear programming problem formulation that attempts to meet the desired closed loop specifications. Both transfer function and state space approaches are described. Numerical examples will be given in the presentation.

Abstract:
Abstract Numerical implementations of optimization algorithms often use parameters whose values are not strictly determined by the derivation of the algorithm, but must fall in some appropriate range of values. This work describes how fuzzy logic can be used to “control” such parameters to improve algorithms performance. This concept is shown with the use of sequential linear programming (SLP) due to its simplicity in implementation. The algorithm presented in this paper implements heuristics to improve the behavior of SLP based on current iterate values of design constraints and changes in search direction. Fuzzy logic is used to implement the heuristics in a form similar to what a human observer would do. An efficient algorithm, known as the infeasible primal-dual path-following interior-point method, is used for solving the sequence of LP problems. Four numerical examples are presented to show that the proposed SLP algorithm consistently performs better than the standard SLP algorithm.

Abstract:
In the area of linear motion, infinite stroke only is provided by electric actuators today, until now there has been no hydraulic alternative. The novel linear hydraulic actuator consists of two double acting cylinders with a common piston rod. The working principle of this actuator for short movements is that at least one piston is connected to the piston rod and the actuator works like an ordinary hydraulic double acting cylinder. For longer movements one of the pistons is connected alternatively to the piston rod providing the drive. In this way the two pistons are moving the piston rod alternatingly in a kind of rope climbing motion. The critical element is the clamping mechanism which is an already known machine element but used in this new application. Advantages of this concept are as follows: The actuator is compact. Very long strokes and piston rods are allowed without side effects of common cylinders. This property is the origin of the name “infinite cylinder”. The cylinder has small chamber volumes and so high hydraulic stiffness and low capacitance. It has also potentially no external leakage. The cylinder can provide twice the rated force for short strokes. Applications for this feature are the plate opening stroke of injection molding machines, or presses with low work to travel stroke ratio, like a press brake. The paper includes a detailed description of the design and the working principle. One critical component is the clamping mechanism which temporarily connects the pistons to the piston rod. The clamping mechanism together with the piston represents a new kind of machine element in the mechanical engineering field. Here the focus will be on the function and the control strategy. With simulation the proposed control strategy and function will be presented and the performance analyzed. The simulation model is backed up by first results from experiments on the early prototype. The experiments carried out so far on the hydraulic clamping mechanism, which is the critical component in the system show very promising results that the required function can be achieved. Furthermore, the function of the whole cylinder has been simulated with good result. For the full paper results from a functioning prototype is also to be expected.
