Comparative analysis of observer-based LQR and LMI controllers of an inverted...journalBEEI
An inverted pendulum is a multivariable, unstable, nonlinear system that is used as a yardstick in control engineering laboratories to study, verify and confirm innovative control techniques. To implement a simple control algorithm, achieve upright stabilization and precise tracking control under external disturbances constitutes a serious challenge. Observer-based linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller and linear matrix inequality (LMI) are proposed for the upright stabilization of the system. Simulation studies are performed using step input magnitude, and the results are analyzed. Time response specifications, integral square error (ISE), integral absolute error (IAE) and mean absolute error (MAE) were employed to investigate the performances of the proposed controllers. Based on the comparative analysis, the upright stabilization of the pendulum was achieved within the shortest possible time with both controllers however, the LMI controller exhibits better performances in both stabilization and robustness. Moreover, the LMI control scheme is effective and simple.

double change lands. In this case study, the paper clarifies some issues related to suspension system with
inerter to reduce displacement and rolling angle under impact from road disturbance on Formula SAE
Car. We propose some new designs, which have an advance for suspension system by improving dynamics.
We optimize design of model based on the minimization of cost functions for roll dynamics, by reducing the
displacement transfer and the energy consumed by the inerter. Base on a passive suspension model that we
carried out quarter-car and half-car model for different parameters which show the benefit of the inerter.
The important advantage of the proposed solution is its integration a new mechanism, the inerter, this
system can increase advance in development and have effects on the vehicle dynamics in stability vehicle.
Load speed regulation in compliant mechanical transmission systems using feed...ISA Interchange
The problem of controlling the load speed of a mechanical transmission system consisting of a belt- pulley and gear-pair is considered. The system is modeled as two inertia (motor and load) connected by a compliant transmission. If the transmission is assumed to be rigid, then using either the motor or load speed feedback provides the same result. However, with transmission compliance, due to belts or long shafts, the stability characteristics and performance of the closed-loop system are quite different when either motor or load speed feedback is employed. We investigate motor and load speed feedback schemes by utilizing the singular perturbation method. We propose and discuss a control scheme that utilizes both motor and load speed feedback, and design an adaptive feedforward action to reject load torque disturbances. The control algorithms are implemented on an experimental platform that is typically used in roll-to-roll manufacturing and results are shown and discussed.
Robust composite nonlinear feedback for nonlinear Steer-by-Wire vehicle’s Yaw...journalBEEI
Yaw control is a part of an Active Front Steering (AFS) system, which is used to improve vehicle manoeuvrability. Previously, it has been reported that the yaw rate tracking performance of a linear Steer-by-Wire (SBW) vehicle equipped with a Composite Nonlinear Feedback (CNF) controller and a Disturbance Observer (DOB) is robust with respect to side wind disturbance effects. This paper presents further investigation regarding the robustness of the combination between a CNF and a DOB in a nonlinear environment through a developed 7-DOF nonlinear SBW vehicle. Moreover, in contrast to previous studies, this paper also contributes in presenting the validation works of the proposed control system in a real-time situation using a Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) platform. Simulation and validation results show that the CNF and DOB managed to reduce the influence of the side wind disturbance in nonlinearities.

Stability Control System for a Two-WheelerIOSRJEEE
A two-wheeler is statically unstable but as the speed increases vehicle achieves stability. At low speed, the vehicle loses its stability. In order to achieve stability, the driver has to balance the vehicle. While negotiating a curve, a vehicle has to lean to a certain angle, if this angle exceeds the certain value, the vehicle tends to skid. In this paper the stability control system is incorporated, so that a vehicle will maintain stability even at low speeds. The stability of a two-wheeler depends on weight distribution, tyre dynamics, speed and steering angle. In this paper, only two parameters are considered, one is steering effect and another one is speed. For developing a simplified model, the speed of the vehicle is kept as constant, using which the effect of steering angle is analysed and accordingly a controller is incorporated for providing stability.

The main thematic of this paper is controlling the main manoeuvers of a tilt rotor UAV airplane in several modes such as vertical takeoff and landing, longitudinal translation and the most important phase which deal with the transition from the helicopter mode to the airplane mode and visversa based on a new actuators combination technique for specially the yaw motion with not referring to rotor speed control strategy which is used in controlling the attitude of a huge number of vehicles nowadays. This new actuator combination is inspired from that the transient response of a trirotor using tilting motion dynamics provides a faster response than using rotor speed dynamics. In the literature, a lot of control technics are used for stabilizing and guarantee the necessary manoeuvers for executing such task, a multiple Attitude and Altitude PID controllers were chosen for a simple linear model of our tilt rotor airplane in order to fulfill the desired trajectory, for reasons of complexity of our model the multiple PID controller doesnt take into consideration all the coupling that exists between the degrees of freedom in our model, so an LQR controller is adopted for more feasible solution of complex manoeuvering, the both controllers need linearization of the model for an easy implementation.

Design and Simulation of Different Controllers for Stabilizing Inverted Pendu...IJERA Editor
The Inverted Pendulum system has been identified for implementing controllers as it is an inherently unstable system having nonlinear dynamics. The system has fewer control inputs than degrees of freedom which makes it fall under the class of under-actuated systems. It makes the control task more challenging making the inverted pendulum system a classical benchmark for the design, testing, evaluating and comparing. The inverted pendulum to be discussed in this paper is an inverted pendulum mounted on a motor driven cart. The aim is to stabilize the system such that the position of the cart on the track is controlled quickly and accurately so that the pendulum is always erected in its vertical position. In this paper the linearized model was obtained by Jacobian matrix method. The Matlab-Simulink models have been developed for simulation for optimal control design of nonlinear inverted pendulum-cart dynamic system using different control methods. The methods discussed in this paper are a double Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control method, a modern Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control method and a combination of PID and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control methods. The dynamic and steady state performance are investigated and compared for the above controllers.

Literature Review on Simulation and Analysis of Timing Chain of an Automotive...IJERA Editor
The current trend in automotive industry is to achieve compact, efficient, reliable systems. Engine timing drives
used in engines are one of the most critical systems. Timing belts are subjected to excessive elongation and
wear, while timing gears contribute excess mass and inertia in the system. Hence timing chains are preferred
widely, in various high performance engines. Chain drives are easy to assemble and adjust, highly efficient,
durable, reliable, compact and capable of attaining a wide range of power and speed capacities. In spite of these
advantages their complex dynamic behaviour is not well researched. With the improvement of the speed and
load of the automotive engine, and silent chain technology, as silent chain has a compact structure, high
transmitting efficiency, high reliability and high wear resistance, its vibration and noise is low, and the silent
chain have the advantage of life-long maintenance-free, it significant overcomes the gear drive and belt drive
performance, therefore, the silent chain is increasingly widely used in automotive engine timing system. In this
present review dynamic analysis as well as analysis of automotive engines timing silent chain system are
studied
Design and Analysis of Mechanism for Dynamic Characterization of Power Transm...iosrjce
Power transmission systems are being widely used for transmission of power between two members.
Once a particular transmission system is realized it needs to be qualified before its course of application. As
part of this intended torque of the transmission systems needs to be measured and tested. Conventional means of
dynamic characterization of power transmission system has got the demerit of energy consumption to a greater
extent. Because of this more effort is to be put in terms of power for the sake of testing the intended system.
Great need exists for a system which consumes less or ideally no energy while performing test. This project
aims at evolution of a novel technique for evaluating the torque transmitting capability of power transmission
systems without consuming more energy. To start with all the subsystems of the proposed design will be
identified and each of them will be designed for getting their dimensions. Then these dimensional models will be
transformed to solid model of the assembled configuration using 3D CAD software. Functional load which will
be experienced by this design will be assessed and structural analysis will be carried out against these loads
using Finite Element Method (FEM) in commercial FEA software i.e. ANSYS

Slider Crank Mechanism for Four bar linkageijsrd.com
the slider crank mechanism is a particular four bar linkage configuration that exhibits both linear and rotational motion simultaneously. This mechanism is frequently utilized in undergraduate engineering courses to investigate machine kinematics and resulting dynamic forces. The position, velocity, acceleration and shaking forces generated by a slider crank mechanism during operation can be determined analytically. Certain factors are often neglected from analytical calculations, causing results to differ from experimental data. The study of these slight variances produces useful insight. The following report details the successful design, fabrication and testing of a pneumatically powered slider crank mechanism for the purpose of classroom demonstration and experimentation. Transducers mounted to the mechanism record kinematic and dynamic force data during operation, which can then be compared to analytical values. The mechanism is capable of operating in balanced and unbalanced configurations so that the magnitude of shaking forces can be compared. The engine was successfully manufactured and operates as intended. Data recorded by the device's accelerometers is comparable to calculated values of acceleration and shaking force.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

ABSTRACT: The current trend in automotive industry is to achieve compact, efficient, reliable systems.
Engine timing drives used in engines are one of the most critical systems. Timing belts are subjected to
excessive elongation and wear, while timing gears contribute excess mass and inertia in the system. Hence
timing chains are preferred widely, in various high performance engines, both in gasoline and diesel engines.
Chain drives are easy to assemble and adjust, highly efficient, durable, reliable, compact and capable of
attaining a wide range of power and speed capacities. In spite of these advantages their complex dynamic
behavior is not well researched. The major objective of the current work is to develop timing chain drive for a
high speed three cylinder diesel engine and investigate about its durability. The scope of the work includes
developing a simulation model in suitable simulation software and its dynamic analysis. The results are
expressed in terms of parameters such as contact forces and normal forces between different components and
link tension forces etc.
Keywords: Chain Drive, chain tension.
I. INTRODUCTION
Automotive engine is an area where large numbers of researches were done by many researchers.
Engine timing is such an aspect of research which correlates the valve timing and injection timing in an
automotive engine. This phenomenon of timing governs many parameters of engine performance and is required
to be as precise as possible. To achieve proper timing at injectors and valves, timing drives are needed to be
studied and analyzed for their dynamic behavior. The timing chain considered in the current work, transfers
motion from engine‟s crankshaft to the camshaft that operates the valves and to Fuel Injection Pump (FIP)
which controls fuel injection timing. The dynamics plays a vital role in the function, performance and life of the
component. The dynamics of a timing chain drive affect the functioning of other components of an engine such
as valve train, crankshaft etc. The purpose of this work is to investigate the dynamic analysis of the timing chain
with a dedicated simulation software
II. OBJECTIVES
The major objectives of this project are as follows –
To develop a simulation model of the timing chain system on a dedicated simulation software.
To carry out dynamic analysis of the timing chain simulation model.
To find out chain tension, contact forces between chain and other components like sprocket, chain guides,
etc..
III. TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT
ARAI has designed high performance, state of art 3 cylinder diesel engine. Timing drive system used in the
engine is bush chain drive system. Figure 1 shows layout of the chain drive system in engine.
As shown in the Figure 1, one of the chains (Cam-chain) runs over Duplex sprocket and Cam sprocket. The
speed ratio between the duplex sprocket and cam sprocket is 0.5. It is supported and guided by two guides, one
movable guide and one fixed guide. A hydraulic tensioner is provided to the movable guide. The tensioner
facilitates the chain to be tightened whenever it gets loosen.
Another chain (FIP Chain) runs over the duplex sprocket and the FIP sprocket. Speed ratio between
duplex sprocket and FIP sprocket is 0.75. Similar to the Cam-chain, it is provided with one movable guide, one
fixed guide and a hydraulic tensioner. Engine speed is 4000 rpm.

IV. MATHEMATICAL MODELING
A simulation model of a three cylinder engine bush timing chain system has been developed in GT V-
Train software as shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 shows the 2D representation of the timing chain in the software.
The condition of external load (i.e. torque) for which chain drive system is designed is specified to the camshaft
and FIP shaft. Kinematics of the chain drive system for these loading conditions is satisfying the requirements
and now the aim is to check design for the dynamic point of view(and redesign wherever required). Detail
design of sprockets, chain guides and number of chain links is carried out. Input data required regarding the
same is specified to the software simulation environment accordingly.

timing chain
1. Results & Discussions
The results we obtained in terms of chain-sprocket contact forces, chain guide contact forces, tensioner plunger-
guide contact forces, and normal forces between different components, external torque acting on the chains,
sprockets, hub load, and link tension forces etc. The following section focuses on few important results out of
them. Figure 4 shows the variation of tension force between the chain links with reference to the driver rotation
angle θ.

Figure 4: Maximum chain tensions in Cam-chain and FIP Chain
It was noticed that the maximum chain tension in cam side chain was 322 N whereas the maximum chain
tension in FIP side chain was 180 N. The breaking load of the chain was much higher and is 10500 N. Hence,
both the chains are safe and reliable from tensile failure point of view.
External forces acting on a sprocket include the forces acting on sprocket in X and Y direction due to chain pull.
Figure 5 shows the external forces acting on the duplex sprocket. The term crank-1 represents the portion of
duplex sprocket connected to cam sprocket through chain whereas the term crank-2 represents the portion of
duplex sprocket connected to FIP sprocket. The maximum external force on crank-1 in X direction was 519 N
and 614 N in Y direction. Similarly the maximum external force on crank-2 in X direction was 441 N and426 N
in Y direction. These values are very small as compared to the maximum permissible load that can be sustained
by duplex sprocket.
Figure 5: Maximum external forces on Duplex sprocket
The contact forces between the chains and guides and chains and sprockets are major parts of investigation.
Figure 6 shows the variations of Total contact force of cam chain with sprockets and guides. Figure 6(A) shows
the variation of contact force between cam-sprocket and Cam-chain w.r.t driver rotation angle „θ‟. The
maximum value of which is 446 N. Similarly Figure 6(B), (C), (D) shows contact force variation between Cam-
chain and fixed guide, cam-chain and Duplex sprocket and cam-chain movable guide respectively. The
maximum values recorded for above parameters were 572 N, 356 N and 279 N respectively.

crank-1 sprocket, C: Between Cam chain and Cam movable guide, D: Between Cam chain and Cam fixed
guide
Figure 7 shows similar contact force variation for FIP-chain. The maximum contact force between FIP- Chain
and duplex sprocket was 433 N and same was 472 N between FIP- chain and FIP sprocket.
The contact force between FIP-Chain and movable guide is noticed to be 264 N. The maximum contact force
between the FIP chain and fixed guide is 142 N.

V. CONCLUSIONS
The results presented above show that the external forces and loads can be easily sustained by the
timing chain components. The obtained values for the contact forces, tensions etc. were much below the
maximum permissible values. The layout designed is compact, functionally and dynamically stable and safe and
can be implemented in actual engine. The current layout can be modified further to a single chain layout for
more compact and reliable design. The current methodology thus proves to be a fair solution to analyze timing
chain drives, a vital component of an engine.
