Go to Editorial ManagerDynamic modeling of a robot manipulator is a central problem in an accurate robot control. In this paper; the dynamic equations of motion were derived by using Eular-Lagrange method for a six degree of freedom articulated robot manipulator based on the geometrical jacobian construction for each link and actuator. In addition, friction effects beside the end effector forces that act the environment are considered. A Matlab Simulink plant is developed to embrace the theoretical work and simulate the dynamic response for a designed nonlinear controller Proportional Derivative plus Gravity (PD+G), also a modified controller is applied to reject the disturbances and the internal friction effect where the settling errors were 3.57E-6, 2.09E-7, -3.63E-6, 8.84E-6, -5.39E-8 and -4.39E-5 (deg) for joints one to six respectively. The presented approach can be applicable to solve the dynamic problem of other n-link robot manipulators and achieve a suitable solution for tracking trajectories.
Diabetes is one of the most critical diseases in the world which requires measuring the concentration of glucose also the injection of insulin to control the glucose rate in the body. The proposed controller is applied to the Bergman’s three-state minimal patient model, where the model is considered certain but with unknown meal. In the present work, a nonlinear controller is designed to control the concentration of glucose based on the Backstepping approached with a sliding mode for observing the disturbance meal. So will have estimated the meal and have canceled the effect that the glucose concentration has regulating to the basal level._x000D_ The effectiveness of the proposed controller, which represent the insulin dose, is proved via simulating the Bergman’s model with designed controller via MATLAB Simulink software. The result clarify the ability and the robustness of the proposed controller.
A new robust control algorithm is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems represented by a Single Link Manipulator (SLM) system. This algorithm is based on new techniques and methods in order to obtain a controller for the SLM system. First of all, the system is simplified using Variable Transformation Technique (VTT) in order to fit the analysis procedure. Then, a new idea of designing a model reference for the multiple states (n=4) system is presented to correspond the control design. Next, the Lyapunov Stability Analysis (LSA) is used to figure out a proper controller that can compensate the stability and the performance of the SLM system. After that, the Most Valuable Player Algorithm (MVPA) is applied to find the optimal parameters of the proposed controller to accomplish the optimum performance improvement. Finally, it can be concluded that the proposed control algorithm has improved the stability and the performance of the SLM system. In addition, the simulation results show the remarkable effects of the proposed nonlinear controller on the SLM system.
A substantial amount of research has been dedicated to improving the efficiency of heat exchangers, which are extensively utilized in electronic equipment, heating and air conditioning systems, space vehicles, thermal power systems, industrial applications, and transportation. Enhancing the efficiency of these devices can lead to significant reductions in materials, cost, and space. Constructal design offers a promising approach to optimizing various heat transfer systems, including electronic packages, by applying the constructal law to achieve optimal configurations. This review aims to examine recent advancements in the application of constructal design theory to heat exchangers and its potential for enhancing thermal performance.
