Automatic locking of a parametrically resonating, base-excited, nonlinear beam

Described is a closed-loop control scheme capable of stabilizing a parametrically excited nonlinear structure in several vibration modes. By setting the relative phase between the spatially filtered response and the excitation, the open-loop unstable solut ...

Foucault pendulum properties of spherical oscillators

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Patrick Robert Flückiger

The Foucault pendulum provides a demonstration of the turning of the Earth. The principle at work is that linear oscillations of a two-degree-of-freedom isotropic harmonic oscillator remain unchanged in an inertial frame of reference, so appear to precess ...

Foucault pendulum properties of spherical oscillators

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Patrick Robert Flückiger

In 1851 Léon Foucault created a sensation with his pendulum providing a direct demonstration of the turning of the Earth. This simple device consists of a pendulum which is launched in a purely planar orbit. Following Mach's principle of inertia, the mass ...

Reference-frames in vision: Contributions of attentional tracking to nonretinotopic perception in the Ternus-Pikler display

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs, Oh-Hyeon Choung

Perception depends on reference frames. For example, the "true'' cycloidal motion trajectory of a reflector on a bike's wheel is invisible because we perceive the reflector motion relative to the bike's motion trajectory, which serves as a reference frame. ...

In a demanding task, three-handed manipulation is preferred to two-handed manipulation

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Etienne Burdet, Elahe Abdi

Equipped with a third hand under their direct control, surgeons may be able to perform certain surgical interventions alone; this would reduce the need for a human assistant and related coordination difficulties. However, does human performance improve wit ...

Motion-based nearest vector metric for reference frame selection in the perception of motion

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

We investigated how the visual system selects a reference frame for the perception of motion. Two concentric arcs underwent circular motion around the center of the display, where observers fixated. The outer (target) arc's angular velocity profile was mod ...

The effective reference frame in perceptual judgments of motion direction

Michael Herzog

The retinotopic projection of stimulus motion depends both on the motion of the stimulus and the movements of the observer. In this study, we aimed to quantify the contributions of endogenous (retinotopic) and exogenous (spatiotopic and motion-based) refer ...

Optimization Based Control for Target Estimation and Tracking via Highly Observable Trajectories An Application to Motion Control of Autonomous Robotic Vehicles

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti, António Pedro Rodrigues de Aguiar

This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme to solve the target estimation and tracking problem. The objective is to derive a feedback law that drives an autonomous robotic vehicle to follow a target vehicle using an on-line estimate of the ...

Spatial properties of non-retinotopic reference frames in human vision

Michael Herzog

Many visual attributes of a target stimulus are computed according to dynamic, non-retinotopic reference frames. For example, the motion trajectory of a reflector on a bicycle wheel is perceived as orbital, even though it is in fact cycloidal in retinal, a ...

Field-like interactions between motion-based reference frames

Michael Herzog

A reference frame is required to specify how motion is perceived. For example, the motion of part of an object is usually perceived relative to the motion of the object itself. Johansson (Psychological Research, 38, 379-393, 1976) proposed that the percept ...

Model-Based Derivation, Analysis and Control of Unstable Microaerobic Steady-States-Considering Rhodospirillum rubrum as an Example

Timm Faulwasser

Microaerobic (oxygen-limited) conditions are critical for inducing many important microbial processes in industrial or environmental applications. At very low oxygen concentrations, however, the process performance often suffers from technical limitations. ...

Decoupled dq-Current Control of Grid-Tied Voltage Source Converters Using Nonparametric Models

Alfred Rufer, Alireza Karimi, Behrooz Bahrani

This paper presents a vector control strategy for regulating the current of grid-tied voltage source converters (VSCs) in a rotating reference frame. The proposed approach is based on shaping the open-loop and closed-loop transfer matrices of the system. S ...

Fictive Axis Emulator-based State Feedback Vector Current Control for Single-Phase Voltage Source Converters

Alfred Rufer, Michail Vasiladiotis

This paper presents a vector current control method tailored for single-phase voltage source converters. In order to imitate the behavior of a three-phase system, the Fictive Axis Emulation (FAE) concept is employed. The latter is able to synthesize the ro ...

Functional Modeling and Energetic Macroscopic Representation of Modular Multilevel Converters

Alfred Rufer, Nicolas Cherix, Michail Vasiladiotis

A key feature of Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) is the continuous and independent nature of the branch currents. Therefore, a decoupled control of the line and partial bus currents is possible, unlike for classical topologies. To this end, several con ...

Alfred Rufer, Stephan Kenzelmann, Behrooz Bahrani

This paper presents a linear direct-quadrature (dq) current control strategy for voltage source converters (VSCs) in a rotating reference frame (RRF). The described method is based on Multivariable proportional-integral (PI) regulators and provides fast dy ...

Alfred Rufer, Stephan Kenzelmann, Behrooz Bahrani

This paper presents an alternative way for the current regulation of single-phase voltage-source dc-ac converters in direct-quadrature (dq) synchronous reference frames. In a dq reference frame, ac (time varying) quantities appear as dc (time invariant) on ...

A Nonlinear Model Predictive Control Scheme with Multirate Integral Sliding Mode
