de Groot, O.M. (author), Valk, Laurens (author), Keviczky, T. (author)In this work, we propose two cooperative passivity-based control methods for networks of mechanical systems. By cooperatively synchronizing the end-effector coordinates of the individual agents, we achieve cooperation between systems of different types. The underlying passivity property of our control approaches ensures that cooperation is...journal article 2023

Kougiatsos, N. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Reppa, V. (author)This paper proposes a distributed model-based methodology for the detection and isolation of sensor faults in marine fuel engines. The proposed method considers a Mean Value First Principle model and a wide selection of heterogeneous sensors for monitoring the engine components. The detection of faults is realised based on residuals generated...journal article 2022

Kougiatsos, N. (author), Reppa, V. (author)This paper proposes a virtual sensor scheme designed to compensate for sensor fault effects in marine fuel engines. The proposed scheme design follows a distributed approach, where the marine fuel engine is decomposed in several subsystems. Then, for each subsystem we design a monitoring agent that can actively compensate for the effects of...journal article 2022

Eckhoff, Karsten (author), Kok, M. (author), Lucia, Sergio (author), Seel, Thomas (author)Inertial measurement units are commonly used in a growing number of application fields to track or capture motions of kinematic chains, such as human limbs, exoskeletons or robotic actuators. A major challenge is the presence of magnetic disturbances that results in unreliable magnetometer readings. Recent research revealed that this problem...journal article 2021

Sharifi Kolarijani, M.A. (author), Proskurnikov, Anton V. (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)In this article, we study the nonlinear Fokker-Planck (FP) equation that arises as a mean-field (macroscopic) approximation of bounded confidence opinion dynamics, where opinions are influenced by environmental noises and opinions of radicals (stubborn individuals). The distribution of radical opinions serves as an infinite-dimensional...journal article 2021

Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Mazo, M. (author)A constructive tool of nonlinear control system design, the method of control Lyapunov functions (CLFs), has found numerous applications in stabilization problems for continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid systems. In this paper, we address the fundamental question: Given a CLF, corresponding to a continuous-time controller with some...journal article 2020

Prasse, B. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)The majority of research on epidemics relies on models which are formulated in continuous-time. However, processing real-world epidemic data and simulating epidemics is done digitally and the continuous-time epidemic models are usually approximated by discrete-time models. In general, there is no guarantee that properties of continuous-time...journal article 2019

Rogov, Kirill (author), Pogromsky, Alexander (author), Steur, E. (author), Michiels, Wim (author), Nijmeijer, Henk (author)In this paper, a method for pattern analysis in networks of diffusively coupled nonlinear systems of Lur'e form is presented. We consider a class of nonlinear systems which are globally asymptotically stable in isolation. Interconnecting such systems into a network via diffusive coupling can result in persistent oscillatory behavior, which...journal article 2019

Kapitanyuk, Yuri A. (author), Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Cao, Ming (author)In this paper, we propose an algorithm for path-following control of the nonholonomic mobile robot based on the idea of the guiding vector field (GVF). The desired path may be an arbitrary smooth curve in its implicit form, that is, a level set of a predefined smooth function. Using this function and the robot's kinematic model, we design a...journal article 2018

Pavlov, Alexey (author), Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Steur, E. (author), van de Wouw, N. (author)In this paper, we consider synchronization of dynamical systems interconnected via nonlinear integral coupling. Integral coupling allows one to achieve synchronization with lower interaction levels (coupling gains) than with linear coupling. Previous results on this topic were obtained for synchronization of several systems with all-to-all...journal article 2018

Kapitanyuk, Yuri A. (author), Garcia de Marina, Hector (author), Proskurnikov, A.V. (author), Cao, Ming (author)This paper presents a guidance algorithm solving the problem of moving path following, that is, steering a mobile robot to a curvilinear path attached to a moving frame. The nonholonomic robot is described by the unicycle-type model under the influence of some constant exogenous disturbance. The desired path may be an arbitrary smooth curve...conference paper 2017

Dong, J. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In lighting systems consisting light-emitting diodes (LEDs), excessive temperature is a main cause of degraded luminous efficacy, which leads to reduced average illuminance and distorted illumination rendering. Modeling the thermal dynamics of LEDs is hence essential in designing thermal dissipators and controllers for maintaining constant...journal article 2017

Lopez Lena Estrada, R. (author)In almost every field of applied science and engineering, dynamical models are widely used as a professional tool to describe in a compact format the scientific knowledge we have about the phenomena we are analyzing. Such models are widely used for the estimation, optimization, detection of failures and even for real-time control. The relevance...doctoral thesis 2016

Koopman, J. (author), Jeltsema, D. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)A port-Hamiltonian formulation of the LuGre friction model is presented that can be used as a building block in the physical modelling of systems with friction. Based on the dissipation structure matrix of this port-Hamiltonian LuGre model, an alternative proof can be given for the passivity conditions that are known in the literature. As a...journal article 2010

Noback, R. (author)The Deterministic Power-Spectral-Density method can be derived from the Design Envelope Analysis of the continuous P.S.D.-method. It provides a method to determine a deterministic function that gives a maximum response equal to the P.S.D.-design load for linear systems. The P.S.D.-design load is undefined for nonlinear systems. In this report a ...report 1992

Noback, R. (author)The Power Spectral Density (P.S.D.)-method is used to define design loads due to atmospheric turbulence. The design loads are calculated using linear transfer functions. These methods can not be used if the equations describing the behaviour of the aircraft are nonlinear. One method to define design loads for a nonlinear aircraft is by means of...report 1989

(author)The objective of the study is the synthesis of an algorithm for the automatic control of an electromechanical actuator in the rotational joint of a multi-link, robotic manipulator. Control performance is assessed in terms of ability of the controlled joint to follow a commanded joint angle, or a commanded joint angular rate. Part One of the...report 1988

Noback, R. (author), Blaauboer, C. (author)Design loads for nonlinear aircraft, i.e. aircraft with gust alleviation system or yaw dampler, cannot be established with the Power Spectral Density method. The only method available is by means of computer simvilation. Methods to approximate load exceedance curves of nonlinear aircraft are proposed in this report. For the derivation of the...report 1980
