Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete solution for problems of vibration control in structures that may be subject to a broadband primary vibration field, this book addresses the following steps: experimental identification of the dynamic model of the structure; optimal placement of sensors and actuators; formulation of control constraints in terms of controller frequency response shape; controller design and simulation; and controller implementation and rapid prototyping. The identification procedure is a gray-box approach tailored to the estimation of modal parameters of large-scale flexible structures. The actuator/sensor placement algorithm maximizes a modal controllability index improving the effectiveness of the control. Considering limitations of sensors and actuators, the controller is chosen as a stable, band-pass MIMO system resulting from the closed-form solution of a robust control problem. Experimental results on an aeronautical stiffened skin panel are presented using rapid-prototyping hardware.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this handbook provides a state-of-the-art overview on the various aspects in the rapidly developing field of robotics. Reaching for the human frontier, robotics is vigorously engaged in the growing challenges of new emerging domains. Interacting, exploring, and working with humans, the new generation of robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. The credible prospect of practical robots among humans is the result of the scientific endeavour of a half a century of robotic developments that established robotics as a modern scientific discipline. The ongoing vibrant expansion and strong growth of the field during the last decade has fueled this second edition of the Springer Handbook of Robotics. The first edition of the handbook soon became a landmark in robotics publishing and won the American Association of Publishers PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical Sciences & Mathematics as well as the organization’s Award for Engineering & Technology. The second edition of the handbook, edited by two internationally renowned scientists with the support of an outstanding team of seven part editors and more than 200 authors, continues to be an authoritative reference for robotics researchers, newcomers to the field, and scholars from related disciplines. The contents have been restructured to achieve four main objectives: the enlargement of foundational topics for robotics, the enlightenment of design of various types of robotic systems, the extension of the treatment on robots moving in the environment, and the enrichment of advanced robotics applications. Further to an extensive update, fifteen new chapters have been introduced on emerging topics, and a new generation of authors have joined the handbook’s team. A novel addition to the second edition is a comprehensive collection of multimedia references to more than 700 videos, which bring valuable insight into the contents. The videos can be viewed directly augmented into the text with a smartphone or tablet using a unique and specially designed app. Springer Handbook of Robotics Multimedia Extension Portal: http://handbookofrobotics.org/

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finite element based model predictive controller (FEMPC) is implemented for attenuating vibrations of a two flexible link planar manipulator. This manipulator consists of two revolute joints driven by DC motors. Due to the flexibility of the links, both links are susceptible to vibrations, hence, reducing the accuracy in tracking of the end effector. As such piezoelectric plates are use as actuators to apply corrective action to suppress vibrations. The FEMPC control structure, determining these actions, is based on the structure used in dynamic matrix control (DMC), with the exception that a finite element (FE) model replaces how the predictions are formulated. This FE model is developed from and utilized to described the dynamics of each individual link. The FE predictor uses the measured strain and control actions sent to the setup to simulate the response of each link. Results show that using model predictive control has advantages in vibration control over simple conventional control, in particular proportional control. Furthermore, improvements on the model used in predicting the vibrational response will further improve on the attenuation of vibrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary of major research findings in three topical areas: 1) traveling wave concepts in the dynamics and control of Large Space Structures, 2) passive damping in Large Space Structures Applications, and 3) active control of rigid and flexible Manipulator Arms. The traveling wave concepts for characterizing the dynamics of flexible structures have introduced an alternative to modal synthesis and established a basis for the development of new controls algorithms. Passive damping studies identified various types of damping mechanisms including thermoelastic, and electromagnetic, and quantified their relative contributions. The active control studies generated a number of algorithms and control strategies and demonstration applications.
