Stability And Minimum Cost Analysis Of A Discrete-Time Disturbance Accommodation Controller, Katrina H. Barhouse
Stability And Minimum Cost Analysis Of A Discrete-Time Disturbance Accommodation Controller, Katrina H. Barhouse
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Disturbance accommodation control (DAC) is a method for designing a controller that minimizes the effects of disturbances of known waveform type, but with unknown arrival time, duration or magnitude. Systems that do not have a control term in the measurement equation pose a particular challenge for DAC design. A disturbance accommodation controller for these types of systems was previously developed by defining a pseudo-output consisting of the current output and previous control input terms with weighting coefficients.
The objective of the present work is to analyze the stability and performance of the discrete- time disturbance accommodation controller for systems without …

Fitting Model Parameters To Patient Data Automatically Through Evolutionary Computation, Michael Wesley Sagan
Master's Theses (2009 -)
The Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Engineering Center (O.R.E.C) has been studying two conditions which can wreak havoc on the human body's balance control system. The conditions being studied are cerebral palsy (CP) and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. A greater understanding of postural deficits in children with these conditions and the causes for these conditions may help researchers achieve better interventions and treatments [3]. A tool used to characterize postural stability is a bi-planar postural stability model. This model is designed where 10 parameter values have to be adjusted until the simulated data is statistically the same …
