    ABSTRACT In this paper, a neural network (NN) based adaptive event-triggered control is developed for a single input and single output (SISO) uncertain nonlinear continuous time system. An explicit design of the event-triggered controller using NN approximation and feedback linearization is presented. The controller dynamics are approximated by using two single layer NNs. In addition, novel weight update laws are derived for the NNs in the context of event-triggered transmission, i.e., weights are updated only at the triggering instants, hence, aperiodic in nature. The closed loop stability analysis using Lyapunov approach for impulsive dynamical system is carried out to show the uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB) of the NN weight estimation errors as well as system states. Numerical results are included for validating the design.

    Magnetostrictive actuators invariably exhibit hysteresis nonlinearities that tend to become significant under high rates of inputs, and could cause oscillations and error in the micro-positioning tasks. This study presents a methodology for compensation of hysteresis nonlinearity in a magnetostrictive actuator subject to a wide range of input rates in an open-loop manner. The hysteresis compensation is attained through application of an inverse rate-dependent Prandtl–Ishlinskii model formulated on the basis of the rate-dependent Prandtl–Ishlinskii hysteresis model and laboratory-measured hysteresis properties of the magnetostrictive actuator under inputs at frequencies up to 200 Hz. The effectiveness of the inverse rate-dependent Prandtl–Ishlinskii model compensator for mitigating the major and minor loop hysteresis nonlinearities is demonstrated through simulation results and hardware-in-the-loop laboratory measurements of a magnetostrictive actuator (stroke ±50 μm) under inputs in the 1–200 Hz frequency range. Both the simulation and experimental results revealed reduction of peak hysteresis from 4.7 to 0.645 μm, when the proposed inverse rate-dependent model is applied as a feedforward hysteresis compensator, which occurred under excitations at the lowest frequency of 1 Hz. The results suggest that the inverse Prandtl–Ishlinskii model could provide hysteresis compensation under different rates of inputs in a simple and effective manner.

    In many manufacturing and automobile industries, flexible components need to be positioned with the help of coordinated operations of manipulators. This paper deals with the robust design of a control system for two planar rigid manipulators moving a flexible object in the prescribed trajectory while suppressing the vibration of the flexible object. Dynamic equations of the flexible object are derived using the Hamiltonian principle, which is expressed as a partial differential equation (PDE) with appropriate boundary conditions. Then, a combined dynamics is formulated by combining the manipulators and object dynamics without any approximation. The resulting dynamics are thus described by the PDEs, having rigid as well as flexible parameters coupled together. This paper attempts to develop a robust control scheme without approximating the PDE in order to avoid measurements of flexible coordinates and their time derivatives. For this purpose, the two subsystems, namely slow and fast ...

    A structure decoupling control strategy of half-car suspension is proposed to fully decouple the system into independent front and rear quarter-car suspensions in this paper. The coupling mechanism of half-car suspension is firstly revealed and formulated with coupled damping force (CDF) in a linear function. Moreover, a novel dual dampers-based controllable quarter-car suspension structure is proposed to realize the independent control of pitch and vertical motions of the half car, in which a newly added controllable damper is suggested to be installed between the lower control arm and connection rod in conventional quarter-car suspension structure. The suggested damper constantly regulates the half-car pitch motion posture in a smooth and steady operation condition meantime achieving the expected completely structure decoupled control of the half-car suspension, by compensating the evolved CDF.

    In this brief, the utilization of robust model-based predictive control is investigated for the problem of missile interception. Treating the target acceleration as a bounded disturbance, novel guidance law using model predictive control is developed by incorporating missile inside constraints. The combined model predictive approach could be transformed as a constrained quadratic programming (QP) problem, which may be solved using a linear variational inequality-based primal-dual neural network over a finite receding horizon. Online solutions to multiple parametric QP problems are used so that constrained optimal control decisions can be made in real time. Simulation studies are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed guidance control law for missile interception.
