The design and operation of a completely automatic trigger
circuit is presented. This circuit differs from conventional trigger
circuits in that manual control adjustments are not necessary. It
will automatically provide stable triggering over a wide range of
trigger signal amplitudes, repetition rates and waveshapes. The circuit
consists of three...
The model-reference, adaptive control concept is based on the
precept that desired control system performance is a known design
requirement and can be obtained from a representative model. Control
system parameters are adjusted by the adaptive controller through a
minimizing operation on a function of the error (i.e., performance
index)...
The work in this thesis solves the problem of restoring a power
system to its operating stable equilibrium point, following a transient
disturbance, in minimum time without any oscillation. The idealized
power system considered consists of cylindrical rotor generator connected
to an infinite busbar with the following cases of control:...
Tolerance analysis and synthesis plays a vital role in the success of a product design because it directly affects product quality and manufacturing cost. It also affects manufacturing process selection and planning. This research provides a review of several commonly used assembly tolerance analysis models and evaluation of their limitations....
An analysis and modeling method of the diagnostic characteristics of a mechanical or electromechanical system is presented. Diagnosability analysis is especially relevant given the complexities and functional interdependencies of modern-day systems, since improvements in diagnosability can lead to a reduction of a system's life-cycle costs. The diagnosis process of a...
