    Online Time Delay Identification and Control for General Classes of Nonlinear Systems
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2013) Bayrak, Alper; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver
    In this study, online identification of state delays is discussed. First, a novel adaptive time delay identification technique is proposed for general classes of nonlinear systems subject to state delays. The stability of the time delay identification algorithm is analyzed via Lyapunov-based techniques. In this work, we consider the time delay as a nonlinear parameter effecting the system which is a seemingly novel departure from the existing literature. As an extension, this technique is modified to design a tracking controller for general classes of nonlinear systems subject to state delays. The main novelty of this controller is that identification of unknown state delays are ensured while output tracking objective is satisfied. Numerical simulations are conducted that demonstrate the efficiency of the time delay identification algorithm and the tracking controller.

    Sensing of the Time-Varying Angular Rate for Mems Z-Axis Gyroscopes
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Salah, M. H.; McIntyre, M. L.; Dawson, Darren M.; Wagner, John R.; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver
    In this paper, a nonlinear estimation strategy for sensing the time-varying angular rate of a Z-axis MEMS gyroscope is presented. An off-line adaptive least-squares estimation strategy is first developed to accurately estimate the unknown model parameters. Both axes of a Z-axis MEMS gyroscope are then actively controlled utilizing an on-line controller/observer to facilitate time-varying angular rate sensing. The proposed nonlinear estimation strategy is developed based on a Lyapunov-based analysis, which proves that the time-varying angular rate experienced by the device can be estimated accurately. Two cases for angular rate are investigated which are time-varying and constant magnitudes. An adaptive controller/observer was also utilized for sensing the angular rate to investigate the performance of the proposed controller/observer. Representative numerical results are discussed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed nonlinear strategy in accurately sensing the applied angular rate. Overall, the proposed nonlinear controller/observer improves sensing the constant angular rate by 50% and the time-varying angular rate by 90% when compared with an adaptive controller/observer. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
