A Classification Of Techniques For The Compensation Of Time Delayed Processes. Part 2: Structurally Optimised Controllers, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Conference papers
Following on from Part 1, Part 2 of the paper considers the use of structurally optimised controllers to compensate time delayed processes.
Pi And Pid Controller Tuning Rules For Time Delay Processes: A Summary. Part 2: Pid Controller Tuning Rules, Aidan O'Dwyer
Pi And Pid Controller Tuning Rules For Time Delay Processes: A Summary. Part 2: Pid Controller Tuning Rules, Aidan O'Dwyer
Conference papers
A summary of tuning rules for the PID control of single input, single output (SISO) processes with time delay, modeled in stable first order lag plus time delay (FOLPD) form, is provided in this part of the paper.
Estimation Of The Parameters Of A Delayed Process Using Open Loop Time Domain Techniques, Morena Stolfa, Aidan O'Dwyer
Estimation Of The Parameters Of A Delayed Process Using Open Loop Time Domain Techniques, Morena Stolfa, Aidan O'Dwyer
Conference papers
In this paper, we present three different approaches to fit the experimental data of a process with time delay in the time domain. Two of the proposed methods are based on the step response, and the third is based on the pulse response. The effectiveness of these techniques is verified by simulation results and by real-time experimental data. Only first order lag plus time delay models are considered in this paper.

A Classification Of Techniques For The Compensation Of Time Delayed Processes. Part 1: Parameter Optimised Controllers, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Conference papers
An extensive literature exists on the compensation of time delayed processes. It is possible to identify themes that are common to many of the available techniques. The intention of the two parts of this paper is to provide a framework against which the literature may be viewed; Part 1 of the paper considers the use of parameter optimised controllers for the compensation problem, with Part 2 of the paper considering the use of structurally optimised compensators. Conclusions are drawn at the end of Part 2.
Robust Controller Design For Time Delay Systems Using H-Infinity Techniques, Susan Carr, Aidan O'Dwyer
Robust Controller Design For Time Delay Systems Using H-Infinity Techniques, Susan Carr, Aidan O'Dwyer
Conference papers
Using H-infinity control, the design problem is formulated in terms of user defined weighting polynomials on the process closed-loop sensitivity functions to achieve desired closed-loop performance and robust stability in the presence of process modelling error. In this paper stability conditions , in terms of the process sensitivity functions, are derived for processes containing a pure time delay for the following three design scenarios i) the time delay is neglected in the control design and is considered as part of the unmodelled process dynamics ii) A Pade approximation of the delay is included in the controller design and the effect …
A Process For Appraising Commerical Usability Evaluation Methods., Ronan Fitzpatrick, Alan Dix
A Process For Appraising Commerical Usability Evaluation Methods., Ronan Fitzpatrick, Alan Dix
Conference papers
Recent international quality standards and European Community legislation have identified new software quality factors. These new factors include suitability, installability and adaptability. Other quality factors need to be reviewed in the light of these developments. This has impacted on established commercial usability evaluation methods to the extent that it is appropriate to ask if these evaluation methods comply with the new standards and legislation. In order to answer this question the commercial evaluation methods need to be appraised (meta-evaluation) using a suitable method appraisal process. This paper describes such an appraisal process which specifically addresses the many considerations raised by …
Square Planar Monopole Antenna, Max Ammann
Square Planar Monopole Antenna, Max Ammann
Conference papers
A planar monopole may be realised by replacing the wire element of a conventional monopole with a planar element. In this case, the planar element which is square, is located above a groundplane and fed using an SMA connector as illustrated. The square monopole has a simple geometry and a smaller bandwidth compared to the circular-disc monopole. However, it is still a broadband antenna with a typical impedance bandwidth of 75 % at S band. This broadband antenna shows a constant radiation pattern over the impedance bandwidth. A simple formula for the frequency corresponding to the lower edge of the …
