A simple loop shaping technique is applied to design an optimal, robust feedback controller to reduce the interior noise of an acoustic cavity. It is a data-based technique that uses the measured plant response to tune the ...

The plant-wide control problem is a very important topic in process control. A particular control structure design will define (restrict) the future operability degree for the plant under study. Classical control policies ...

An experimental study is discussed on a strategy that combines on-off and sliding mode control to swing up and control a pendulum with two reaction wheels in the upright position. The control scheme uses only one reaction ...

Introduction: Psychiatric consultation (PC) has been considered an efficient tool to develop research, to track and to give assistance benefiting patients, health professionals and the institution. However, it has not been ...

This paper is a continuation of a previous work of the authors, Scaglia et al., 1. A method is presented to choose the controller parameters such that, the values of the control actions do not exceed the maximum allowable ...

The aim of the present study was to radiographically evaluate the effect of smoking on bone loss resulting from chronic periodontitis. Periapical radiographs were analyzed of 80 patients with chronic periodontitis (40 ...

Nonlinear motion of the microcantilever probe in the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has been extensively studied considering mainly the van der Waals forces. Since the behavior of the microcantilever is vital to quality of ...
