A Statistical Analysis of Certain Iterative Learning Control Algorithms

Roland Longchamp, Alireza Karimi, Mark Edward John Butcher

Iterative Learning Control (ILC) is a technique used to improve the tracking performance of systems carrying out repetitive tasks, which are affected by deterministic disturbances. The achievable performance is greatly degraded, however, when non-repeating ...

Modeling of Long stator Linear Motors – Application to the Power Supply of Multi Mobile System

Basile Kawkabani, Yves Perriard, Jean-Jacques Simond

n large cities, due to expensive land price, high-rise buildings are built, in which the space dedicated to the elevators is considerable and reduces the rented surfaces. To decrease these lost surfaces, a Multi Mobile System is proposed. It consists of se ...

What static and dynamic properties should slalom skis possess? Judgments by advanced and expert skiers

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Christian Fischer, Michael Herzog, Olaf Blanke

Flexural and torsional rigidity are important properties of skis. However, the flexural and torsional rigidity that lead to optimal performance remain to be established. In the present study, four pairs of slalom skis that differed in flexural and torsiona ...

Comparative study and selection criteria of linear motors

Samuel Chevailler

Initially, linear motors have been particularly dedicated to transportation systems. Nowadays, linear motors are meant to replace a system using a rotating motor and a transmission to realize a linear movement. With linear motors the performances increase ...

SWISSMETRO - Polarized Linear Motor Combined With Levitation Actuators

Marcel Jufer, Patric Hagmann, Christophe Espanet

SWISSMETRO is a MAGLEV Project, designed for a speed up to 500 km/h in two tunnels under partial vacuum. The authors investigate new possibilities to combine the propulsion and levitation. Polarized inductors for the levitation are studied, implying a pola ...
