A neuro-sliding-mode control (NSMC) strategy was developed to handle the complex nonlinear dynamics and model uncertainties of flexible-link manipulators. A composite controller was designed based on a singularly perturbed model of flexible-link manipulators when the rigid motion and flexible motion...

To investigate a class of nonlinear network control system, a robust fault diagnosis method is presented based on the robust state observer. To access the objective that the designed robust filter is maximally tolerant to disturbances and sensitive to fault, the robustness and stability properties o...

This paper presents the developments of sensorless control of interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) for last 10 years, which could be divided into the past and the present for each 5 years. Several popular methods developed for last 10 years would be described and evaluated, and the ...

The flux-modulated compound-structure permanent magnet synchronous machine (CS-PMSM), composed of a brushless double rotor machine (DRM) and a conventional permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM), is a power split device for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. In this paper, its operating principl...

The emf expression can be derived with the PM volume-integration method, allowing easier optimization and prediction of the emf harmonic content. An analytical expression is developed for predicting the electromotive force (emf) waveforms and flux linkage resulting from the motion of permanent magne...
