String stability is an essential property to ensure that the fluctuations are attenuated along vehicle strings. This paper focuses on the fulfillment of string stability in the practical case of heterogeneous vehicle strings that comprise vehicles with different dynamic properties. Using the idea of predecessor following, acceleration feedforward, predicted acceleration feedforward, and input signal feedforward are considered as different possible feedforward strategies. For all strategies, the parameter ranges of predecessor vehicles that ensure string stability of a given vehicle are characterized, computed, and validated by simulation.

Synchronization of nonlinearly coupled harmonic oscillators
Cai, Chaohong; Tuna, Sezai Emre (2010-07-02)
Synchronization of coupled harmonic oscillators is investigated. Coupling considered here is pairwise, unidirectional, and described by a nonlinear function (whose graph resides in the first and third quadrants) of some projection of the relative distance (between the states of the pair being coupled) vector. Under the assumption that the interconnection topology defines a connected graph, it is shown that the synchronization manifold is semiglobally practically asymptotically stable in the frequency of osc...
Command governor-based adaptive control for dynamical systems with matched and unmatched uncertainties
Yayla, Metehan; Kutay, Ali Türker (2018-08-01)
In this paper, we propose a command governor-based adaptive control architecture for stabilizing uncertain dynamical systems with not only matched but also unmatched uncertainties and achieving the desired command following performance of a user-defined subset of the accessible states. In our proposed solution, online least-squares solutions for the matched and unmatched parameters are obtained through integration method and they are employed in the adaptive control framework. Specifically, the matched unce...
Whirl speeds and unbalance response of multibearing rotors using finite-elements
Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Özkan, Z. Levent (1984-01-01)
This paper presents dynamic modeling of rotor bearing systems with rigid disks, distributed parameter finite rotor elements and flexible, discrete multibearings. The previous works have included the effects of rotary inertia, gyroscopic moment, axial load, internal viscous and hysteretic damping and transverse shear deformations, but have not considered them all in the same model. A computer program is developed in this work to calculate the forward and backward whirl speeds, the corresponding mode shapes, ...
Evaluation of resilient modulus estimation methods for asphalt mixtures based on laboratory measurements
Demirci, Canser; Güler, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Resilient modulus is a property for bound and unbound pavement materials characterizing the elastic behavior of materials under dynamic repeated loading. Resilient modulus is an important design parameter for pavement structures because it represents the structural strength of pavement layers through which the thickness design is based on. In Turkey, the layer thickness design is performed using resilient modulus determined empirically from various published sources. Determining a layer modulus using empiri...
Quadrature-Error Compensation and Corresponding Effects on the Performance of Fully Decoupled MEMS Gyroscopes
Tatar, Erdinc; Alper, Said Emre; Akın, Tayfun (2012-06-01)
This paper presents experimental data about the sources of the quadrature error in a fully decoupled microelectromechanical systems gyroscope and demonstrates the extent of performance improvement by the cancellation of this error. Quadrature sources including mass, electrostatic-force, and mechanical-spring imbalances have been compared by FEM simulations, and spring imbalance has been found as the dominant source of the quadrature error. Gyroscopes have been designed with intentional spring imbalances and...
