Modelling and H∞ Robust Control of a Neonatal Incubator
Abstract: This study presents the modelling of a neonatal incubator and the design of a robust H∞ controller. Neonates, who are born premature, often don’t have enough maturity to regulate their temperature. These infants have low metabolic heat production rate and may have high heat loss from the skin so they have an increased risk of death in the first week of their life. The core temperature of the human body …

Design and Simulation of Fuzzy Logic Based Speed Control for an SPWM Inverter-fed Induction Motor Taking Core Loss and Stray Load Losses into Account
Abstract: Speed and torque of an induction motor need to be controlled in order to achieve smooth control application. Field oriented control aids this factor and enables independent control of speed and torque by establishing an independent relationship between motor parameters. This complex relationship is developed due to consideration of core loss and stray load loss while modeling an induction motor. These two negligible but important parameters are neglected in most …

Higher Order Sliding Controller Parameter Determining Method: A Research
Abstract: In this paper, it is generally believed that sliding switching surfaces should reflect the design parameters of the system in variable structure control, and the control characteristics are the way to constrain the state on sliding switching surfaces. In the literature, classical sliding (primary sliding) is considered that sliding-switching surface is the same as the characteristic equation of the closed-loop system, and the design of the control system is reflected …
