Control adaptable de velocidad para servomotores usando la regla MIT

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados obtenidos de la implementación del control adaptable por modelo de referencia, para regular la velocidad de servomotores. Los controladores se desarrollaron a partir de la propuesta de Whitaker conocida como regla MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) la cual se ha modificado agregándole parámetros de ajuste , adaptación y un compensador de fricción para mejorar el desempeño del controlador. En la realización del control se utilizó el PDS TMS320LF2407 de Texas Instruments y el programa VisSim 5.0 ECD (Embedded Controler Developer). Los resultados obtenidos indican que el controlador permite que el servomotor responda siguiendo la respuesta dada por el modelo de referencia

Electrospinning, preparation and characterization of polyvinylidene fluoride / pectin electrospun loaded with benzalkonium chloride as a drug reservoirs

Porous nanofiber electrospun of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/pectin was successfully developed using electrospinning method containing benzalkonium chloride (BAC) as a drug model for the controlled drug delivery system assessment. The electrospun was tested for its mechanical, morphological, and wettability properties. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrograph demonstrated that the smooth surfaces of nanofibers morphology had achieved up to 2 wt% pectin inclusion with optimum fiber diameter, 143 ± 1.4 nm. The optimized scaffold PVDF/Pectin showed that the reduction of mechanical integrity and optimum value of tensile strength, modulus strength, and elongation at break were 5.98 ± 0.17 MPa, 16.82 ± 0.10 MPa, and 79.3 ± 1.3% MPa. Water contact angle analysis and degree of swelling suggested that inclusion of pectin had enhanced the wettability properties of hydrophobic PVDF electrospun with highest swelling capacity achieved of 78.9 ± 1.7%. The in vitro drug release tests using BAC, which was released from the hybrid electrospun nanofibers, achieved prolonged release profile due to elimination of the uncontrollable initial burst release. Kinetic release study from Higuchi Model and Korsmeyer-Peppas further validates that the drug release mechanism is only influenced by the diffusion factor. The present study indicates the potential of PVDF/pectin electrospun nanofibers to be exploited as a tool for sustainable drug delivery system

Kraftsensorlose Manipulator Kraftsteuerung zur Abtastung unbekannter, harter Oberflächen

Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt ein Verfahren zur kraftgesteuerten Kontaktierung unbekannter harter Freiformflächen mit einem Standard–6DOF-Industriemanipulator (z.B. Manutec R2). Die bisher entwickelten Verfahren auf dem Gebiet der Manipulatorkraftregelung waren auf teure, fragile, mehrdimensionale Kraft-/Momentensensoren am Manipulator-Endeffektor angewiesen, die bei dem in dieser Arbeit entwickelten Ansatz der sensorlosen Kraft-/Geschwindigkeitsregelung überflüssig werden. Die Einstellung der gewünschten Kontaktkraft zu der unbekannten Umgebung erfolgt ausschließlich über eine robuste, beobachtergestützte Regelung der Motorströme der Gelenkantriebe. In freien Bewegungsphasen garantierte eine kaskadierte Kraft-/Geschwindigkeitsregelung vordefinierte Heranfahrgeschwindigkeiten an die unbekannte Kontaktoberfläche. Hierdurch eröffnen sich vollkommen neue Einsatzszenarien für die kraftkontrollierte Kontaktierung und Bearbeitung unbekannter Oberflächen oder Werkstücke beliebiger Härte und Steifigkeit

Grid Connected Doubly Fed Induction Generator Based Wind Turbine under LVRT

This project concentrates on the Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capability of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind turbine. The main attention in the project is, therefore, drawn to the control of the DFIG wind turbine and of its power converter and to the ability to protect itself without disconnection during grid faults. It provides also an overview on the interaction between variable speed DFIG wind turbines and the power system subjected to disturbances, such as short circuit faults. The dynamic model of DFIG wind turbine includes models for both mechanical components as well as for all electrical components, controllers and for the protection device of DFIG necessary during grid faults. The viewpoint of this project is to carry out different simulations to provide insight and understanding of the grid fault impact on both DFIG wind turbines and on the power system itself. The dynamic behavior of DFIG wind turbines during grid faults is simulated and assessed by using a transmission power system generic model developed and delivered by Transmission System Operator in the power system simulation toolbox Digsilent, Matlab/Simulink and PLECS
