We propose a novel control strategy for monopods that incorporate a linear actuator in series with the radial leg spring. Our technique relies on active tuning of the virtual damping coefficient felt by the robot body through the linear actuator connected to the otherwise passive leg on a monopod. Based on this method, we also introduce a per-stride control method for regulating the hopping height of such a robot through appropriate choices of the effective damping constant. Finally, we present simulations illustrating the performance of the proposed control method.

Optimal control of a half-circular compliant legged monopod AYDIN, Yasemin Ozkan; Saranlı, Afşar; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Saranlı, Uluç; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2014-12-01) This paper investigates an optimal control strategy for the dynamic locomotion of a simplified planar compliant half-circular legged monopod model. We first present a novel planar leg model which incorporates rolling kinematics and a new compliance model, motivated by the use of similar leg designs on existing platforms. Two locomotion tasks, moving at a prescribed horizontal velocity and a one-shot jump to maximum possible height or length, are then investigated within this model. The designs of two high-l...
Defect acceptability under full-scale fretting fatigue tests for railway axles Foletti, S.; Beretta, S.; Gurer, G. (2016-05-01) This paper presents a new approach based on the application of a multiaxial high cycle fatigue criterion together with the use of El-Haddad correction for investigation of fretting fatigue in railway axles. Stress path along the axle-wheel contact, determined by the FE analysis, was implemented into different multiaxial fatigue criteria in order to predict critical sites of nucleation. The equivalent fatigue limit expressed by the applied criterion is compared with the crack size dependent fatigue limit des...
Bending and free vibrations of functionally graded annular and circular micro-plates under thermal loading Eshraghi, Iman; Dağ, Serkan; Soltani, Nasser (2016-03-01) We introduce solution methods capable of treating static bending and free vibration problems involving thermally loaded functionally graded annular and circular micro-plates. Formulation is based on modified couple stress theory; and related governing partial differential equations and boundary conditions are derived by means of Hamilton's principle. Displacement field is expressed in a unified way so as to produce numerical results in accordance with Kirchhoff, Mindlin, and third-order shear deformation th...
APPLICATION OF TUNED MASS DAMPERS AND LEVER TYPE VIBRATION ISOLATOR TO THE QUARTER-CAR MODEL IN ORDER TO INCREASE RIDE COMFORT Aydan, Goksu; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; BAŞLAMIŞLI, SELAHATTİN ÇAĞLAR (2010-07-24) In this paper, performance of passive vibration isolators, namely rotational / linear tuned mass dampers (TMD) and lever type vibration isolators (LVI), are investigated under different configurations for optimal ride comfort. TMDs reduce vibration levels by absorbing the energy of the system, especially around natural frequencies with the help of viscous dampers. Two types of TMDs, rotational and linear, are investigated in this study. Although linear TMDs can be more easily implemented on suspension syste...
Nonlinear Integral Backstepping Control for Induction Motors Mehazzem, F.; Nemmour, A. L.; Reama, A.; Benalla, H. (2011-09-10) A novel structure of nonlinear integral backstepping control has been proposed for induction motors. We can see clearly that the structure of the controller generated by the classical version of backstepping is composed of a proportional action, which was added a derivative action on errors. Such a structure makes the system sensitive to measurement noise. The lack of integration means also the appearance of a constant static error, caused mainly by non-zero mean disturbances. The solution to this problem i...
