An Improved Conditional Integrator Sliding Mode Controller Based On Swarm Intelligence For A Magnetic Levitation System, Abdelkader Kerraci, Mohamed Fayçal Khelfi, Zoubir Ahmed-Foitih Nov 2024

An Improved Conditional Integrator Sliding Mode Controller Based On Swarm Intelligence For A Magnetic Levitation System, Abdelkader Kerraci, Mohamed Fayçal Khelfi, Zoubir Ahmed-Foitih

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes an enhanced Conditional Integrator Sliding Mode Controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (CISMCPSO) for a magnetic levitation system (MLS). The main advantage of this controller is its robustness to uncertainties and disturbances, which also avoids chattering and ensures zero static steady-state error. The main idea of CISMCPSO is to activate its integral action only when the sliding surface reaches the boundary layer while it is reduced to zero or close to zero elsewhere, which avoids destroying the transient response caused by the conventional integral sliding-mode controller. A particle swarm optimization algorithm schedules the conditional integral term parameter of …

A Surface-Based Approach For 3d Approximate Convex Decomposition, Onat Zeybek Kuşkonmaz, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Approximate convex decomposition enables the simplification of complex shapes into manageable convex components. In this work, we propose a novel surface-based method to achieve this which leads to efficient computation times and sufficiently convex results while avoiding over-approximating the input model. We start approximation using mesh simplification. Then we iterate over the surface polygons of the mesh and divide them into convex groups. We utilize planar and angular equations to determine suitable neighboring polygons for inclusion in forming convex groups. To ensure our method outputs a sufficient result for a wide range of input shapes, we run multiple iterations of …
