Robust tracking control for linear vibrating mechanical systems
Journal Title: Revista Facultad de Ingeniería-Universidad de Antioquia - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 75
Abstract
A novel output feedback tracking control approach is proposed for underactuated linear mass-spring-damper vibrating mechanical systems of multiple degrees-of-freedom. The presented control design methodology considers robustness against unmodeled dynamics and external forces. The proposed control scheme only requires measurements of the position output variable. Tracking error integral compensation is properly used to avoid real-time disturbance estimation. Analytical and numerical results prove the effectiveness of the introduced active vibration control scheme for resonant and chaotic vibration attenuation on the output variable response.

The delay of consequences and perceived risk: an analysis from the workers’ view point
This paper addresses the question of how construction workers perceive occupational risks. It is a question that has not been addressed in scientific research. Specifically, we answer the following research questions: wh...
Freeway speed limits under inclement weather conditions
Over the past decade, over speeding has been identified to be the most dominant factor contributing to the occurrence of severe crashes and injuries on freeways, and thus speed limit performs the most popular countermeas...
Physical and mechanical characterization of concrete exposed to elevated temperatures by using ultrasonic pulse velocity
Experimental investigations were carried out for assessing the influence of thermal loadings on the physical and mechanical properties of plain concrete after fire exposure. Cylindrical specimens were subjected to therma...
Chitosan/hydroxyapatite scaffolds for tissue engineering manufacturing method effect comparison
The regeneration of bone is one of the main challenges of modern medicine because many diseases including trauma and tumor can cause bone defects. Tissue engineering (TE) is a promising approach to cure these bone diseas...
Influence of meteorology and source variation on airborne Pm10 levels in a high relief tropical Andean city
Atmospheric particulate matter (PM10) was evaluated with meteorology, mixing height and source variation over a two year period (January 2010 to December 2012) in the densely populated tropical Andean city of Manizales....
