Fuzzy Hammerstein Model of Nonlinear Plant
This paper presents the synthesis and analysis of the enhanced predictive fuzzy Hammerstein model of the water tank system. Fuzzy Hammerstein model was compared with three other fuzzy models: the first was synthesized using Mamdani type rule base, the second ā Takagi-Sugeno type rule base and the third ā composed of Mamdani and Takagi-Sugeno rule bases. The synthesized model is invertible so it can be used in the model based control. The fuzzy Hammerstein model was synthesized to eliminate disadvantages of the other fuzzy models. The advantage of the fuzzy Hammerstein model was experimentally proved and presented in this paper
Wiener modelling and model predictive control for wastewater applications
The research presented in this paper aims to demonstrate the application of predictive control to an integrated wastewater system with the use of the wiener modeling approach. This allows the controlled process, dissolved oxygen, to be considered to be composed of two parts: the linear dynamics, and a static nonlinearity, thus allowing control other than common approaches such as gain-scheduling, or switching, for series of linear controllers. The paper discusses various approaches to the modelling required for control purposes, and the use of wiener modelling for the specific application of integrated waste water control. This paper demonstrates this application and compares with that of another nonlinear approach, fuzzy gain-scheduled control
Forward and Inverse Modelling Approaches for Prediction of Light Stimulus from Electrophysiological Response in Plants
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this record.In this paper, system identification approach has been adopted to develop a novel dynamical model for describing the relationship between light as an environmental stimulus and the electrical response as the measured output for a bay leaf (Laurus nobilis) plant. More specifically, the target is to predict the characteristics of the input light stimulus (in terms of on-off timing, duration and intensity) from the measured electrical response - leading to an inverse problem. We explored two major classes of system estimators to develop dynamical models - linear and nonlinear - and their several variants for establishing a forward and also an inverse relationship between the light stimulus and plant electrical response. The best class of models are given by the Nonlinear Hammerstein-Wiener (NLHW) estimator showing good data fitting results over other linear and nonlinear estimators in a statistical sense. Consequently, a few set of models using different functional variants of NLHW has been developed and their accuracy in detecting the on-off timing and intensity of the input light stimulus are compared for 19 independent plant datasets (including 2 additional species viz. Zamioculcas zamiifolia and Cucumis sativus) under similar experimental scenario.The work reported in this paper was supported by project PLants Employed As SEnsor Devices (PLEASED), EC grant agreement number 296582

Identification of nonlinear interconnected systems
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.In this work we address the problem of identifying a discrete-time nonlinear system composed of a linear dynamical system connected to a static nonlinear component. We use linear fractional representation to provide a united framework for the identification of two classes of such systems. The first class consists of discrete-time systems consists of a linear time invariant system connected to a continuous nonlinear static component. The identification problem of estimating the unknown parameters of the linear system and simultaneously fitting a math order spline to the nonlinear data is addressed. A simple and tractable algorithm based on the separable least squares method is proposed for estimating the parameters of the linear
and the nonlinear components. We also provide a sufficient condition on data for consistency of the identification algorithm. Numerical examples illustrate the performance of the algorithm. Further, we examine a second class of systems that may involve a nonlinear static element of a more complex structure. The nonlinearity may not be continuous and is approximated by piecewise aĀ±ne maps defined on different convex polyhedra, which are defined by linear
combinations of lagged inputs and outputs. An iterative identification procedure is proposed, which alternates the estimation of the linear and the nonlinear subsystems. Standard identification techniques are applied to the linear subsystem, whereas recently developed piecewise affine system identification techniques are employed for the estimation of the nonlinear component. Numerical examples show that the proposed procedure is able to successfully profit
from the knowledge of the interconnection structure, in comparison with a direct black box identification of the piecewise aĀ±ne system.Funding was obtained as a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher Training fellowship, under the NET-ACE project (MEST-CT-2004-6724)

Design of U-PPC-Type II for nonlinear systems
In this study, a new U-PPC-Type II (U-model Pole Placement Control Type II) control system design procedure is proposed based on the U-model principle. The objective of a U-PPC-Type II design is to determine a linear controller Gc from a specified closed loop linear transfer function Gcls . The study also compares the new design procedure with a U-PPC-Type I based design procedure. For demonstration of the effectiveness of the proposed new procedure, U-PPC-Type II is designed for both a linear dynamic model and a Hammerstein (nonlinear dynamic) model. The simulation results are presented with discussions and graphical illustrations
NONLINEAR IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL: A PRACTICAL SOLUTION AND ITS APPLICATION
It is well known that typical welding processes such as laser welding are nonlinear although mostly they are treated as linear system. For the purpose of automatic control, Identification of nonlinear system, especially welding processes is a necessary and fundamental problem. The purpose of this research is to develop a simple and practical identification and control for welding processes. Many investigations have shown the possibility to represent physical processes by nonlinear models, such as Hammerstein structure, consisting of a nonlinearity and linear dynamics in series with each other. Motivated by the fact that typical welding processes do not have non-zeroes, a novel two-step nonlinear Hammerstein identification method is proposed for laser welding processes. The method can be realized both in continuous and discrete case. To study the relation among parameters influencing laser processing, a standard diode laser processing system is built as system prototype. Based on experimental study, a SISO and 2ISO nonlinear Hammerstein model structure are developed to approximate the diode laser welding process. Specific persistent excitation signals such as PRTS (Pseudo-random-ternary-series) to Step signal are used for identification. The model takes welding speed as input and the top surface molten weld pool width as output. A vision based sensor implemented with a Pulse-controlled-CCD camera is proposed and applied to acquire the images and the geometric data of the weld pool. The estimated model is then verified by comparing the simulation and experimental measurement. The verification shows that the model is reasonably correct and can be use to model the nonlinear process for further study. The two-step nonlinear identification method is proved valid and applicable to traditional welding processes and similar manufacturing processes. Based on the identified model, nonlinear control algorithms are also studied. Algorithms include simple linearization and backstepping based robust adaptive control algorithm are proposed and simulated
