LQR-Based Optimal Control of Inverted Pendulum System with State Estimation and Stability Analysis
Abstract: The inverted pendulum on a cart is a canonical benchmark problem in control systems engineering, capturing the essential challenges of stabilizing an inherently unstable, underactuated, and nonlinear plant. Classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers, while widely employed in industrial practice, exhibit fundamental performance limitations when applied to such systems, primarily due to their inability to account for multivariable coupling, process noise, and the absence of a systematic optimization framework. This paper presents …

Engineering Polymer-Based Barrier Films for Infection Control in Surgical Environments
Abstract: It is important to keep a sterile surgical area as a measure of infection prevention after an operation. Traditional protective materials tend to not be long-lasting, are not uniformly protective in their behavior, and have just limited biocompatibility. The use of barrier films made of polymer has emerged as a ground breaking solution to the contemporary operating rooms. These movies prevent the entry of microbes, are impervious to moisture, and …

Electromagnetic Damping in Shock Absorbers
Abstract: In the shock absorber, springs are used as dampers which hold the weight of vehicle, rider(s), and cargo. After certain interval of time, the stiffness of the spring gets reduced due to some parameters e.g. load, oscillation, etc.; because of that, there will be imbalance in the vehicle, which would lead to loss of control and hence major accident. In order to prevent such untorn events, I will present some …
