Adaptive Lagrangian-Eulerian computation of propagation and rupture of a liquid plug in a tube
Hassan, Ez A.; Uzgoren, Eray; Fujioka, Hideki; Grotberg, James B.; Shyy, Wei (Wiley, 2011-12-20)
Liquid plug propagation and rupture occurring in lung airways can have a detrimental effect on epithelial cells. In this study, a numerical simulation of a liquid plug in an infinite tube is conducted using an EulerianLagrangian approach and the continuous interface method. A reconstruction scheme is developed to allow topological changes during plug rupture by altering the connectivity information about the interface mesh. Results prior to the rupture are in reasonable agreement with the study of Fujioka e...
Adaptive controller based on grid impedance estimation for stable operation of grid-connected inverters under weak grid conditions
Temiz, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan; Demirok, Erhan (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2020-10-01)
An electric grid having high impedance seen from the connection point is considered as a weak grid and it adversely affects the system stability of grid-tied voltage source inverters in renewable power devices. In this study, an adaptive controller is proposed by configuring the settling time of the phase-locked loop based on the estimated grid impedance. Pseudorandom binary sequence injection and Fourier techniques are carried out for grid impedance estimation. Impedance-based stability analysis is perform...
Adaptive Fading UKF with Q-Adaptation: Application to Picosatellite Attitude Estimation
Söken, Halil Ersin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-07-01)
The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm that gives sufficiently good estimation results for estimation problems of nonlinear systems even when high nonlinearity is in question. However, in the case of system uncertainty the UKF becomes inaccurate and diverges in time. In other words, if any change occurs in the process noise covariance, which is known a priori, the filter fails. This study introduces a novel adaptive fading UKF algorithm based on the correction of process noise covariance...
Adaptive dimensional search: A new metaheuristic algorithm for discrete truss sizing optimization
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2015-07-01)
In the present study a new metaheuristic algorithm called adaptive dimensional search (ADS) is proposed for discrete truss sizing optimization problems. The robustness of the ADS lies in the idea of updating search dimensionality ratio (SDR) parameter online during the search for a rapid and reliable convergence towards the optimum. In addition, several alternative stagnation-control strategies are integrated with the algorithm to escape from local optima, in which a limited uphill (non-improving) move is p...
Adaptive controller applications for rotary wing aircraft models of varying simulation fidelity
Tarımcı, Onur; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009)
This thesis concerns the design, analysis and testing of adaptive controllers for rotary wing aircraft, in particular helicopters. A non-linear helicopter model is developed and validated by trim and dynamic response analyses. A inner-outer loop cascade controller is designed with a trajectory generator in the most outer layer and an adaptive neural network controller is implemented to the inner loop. Controller is then challenged to carry out complex maneuvers autonomously under turbulence. Finally, the ce...
