Skyhook surface sliding mode control on semi-active vehicle suspension systems for ride comfort enhancement
A skyhook surface sliding mode control method was proposed and applied to the control on the semi-active vehicle suspension system for its ride comfort enhancement. A two degree of freedom dynamic model of a vehicle semi-active suspension system was given, which focused on the passenger’s ride comfort perform-ance. A simulation with the given initial conditions has been devised in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simula-tion results were showing that there was an enhanced level of ride comfort for the vehicle semi-active sus-pension system with the skyhook surface sliding mode controller
Painlev\'e V and time dependent Jacobi polynomials
In this paper we study the simplest deformation on a sequence of orthogonal
polynomials, namely, replacing the original (or reference) weight
defined on an interval by It is a well-known fact that under
such a deformation the recurrence coefficients denoted as and
evolve in according to the Toda equations, giving rise to the
time dependent orthogonal polynomials, using Sogo's terminology. The resulting
"time-dependent" Jacobi polynomials satisfy a linear second order ode. We will
show that the coefficients of this ode are intimately related to a particular
Painlev\'e V. In addition, we show that the coefficient of of the
monic orthogonal polynomials associated with the "time-dependent" Jacobi
weight, satisfies, up to a translation in the Jimbo-Miwa -form of
the same while a recurrence coefficient is up to a
translation in and a linear fractional transformation
These results are found
from combining a pair of non-linear difference equations and a pair of Toda
equations. This will in turn allow us to show that a certain Fredholm
determinant related to a class of Toeplitz plus Hankel operators has a
connection to a Painlev\'e equation
Intelligent manipulation technique for multi-branch robotic systems
New analytical development in kinematics planning is reported. The INtelligent KInematics Planner (INKIP) consists of the kinematics spline theory and the adaptive logic annealing process. Also, a novel framework of robot learning mechanism is introduced. The FUzzy LOgic Self Organized Neural Networks (FULOSONN) integrates fuzzy logic in commands, control, searching, and reasoning, the embedded expert system for nominal robotics knowledge implementation, and the self organized neural networks for the dynamic knowledge evolutionary process. Progress on the mechanical construction of SRA Advanced Robotic System (SRAARS) and the real time robot vision system is also reported. A decision was made to incorporate the Local Area Network (LAN) technology in the overall communication system
