Smart beams are one of the most frequently used means of studying vibrations in airplane wings. Their mathematical models have been so far solely based on classical approaches that ultimately involve integer order transfer functions. In this paper, a different approach towards modeling such smart beams is considered, an approach that is based on fractional calculus. In this way, a fractional order...
Cantilever beams have an important role in day to day life in bridges, towers, buildings and aircraft wings, making active vibration suppression a highly researched field. The purpose of this paper is to detail the design of fractional order PID controllers for smart beams. A novel tuning procedure is proposed based on solving a set of nonlinear complex equations that directly aim at reducing the...
Cryogenic isotope separation columns are unique equipments used to produce enriched substances in the isotope of interest for many industrial applications. The control of an isotope separation column is a difficult and challenging task, being a highly nonlinear plant with large time constants and time delays. A single column can enrich only to a low level of concentration, so column cascades are used...
Magnetic levitation systems are widely used in practice and especially as a research topic due to their nonlinear and unstable characteristics. In this paper, two rarely used control algorithms for unstable systems are proposed: a special type of a fractional order controller and an IMC (Internal Model Control) based controller. The two control algorithms are compared and tested on an experimental...
Due to adding the extra degree of freedom, the fractional order PID (FO-PID) controller can achieve better control performance than the integer order PID controller. Based on the existing tuning methods, developed for particular forms of the process, in this paper the FO-PI and FO-PD controller design method is proposed for a large class of system models, including fractional order and integer models...
