Music Psychological Meta-Analysis and Real-Time Measurement Algorithm Based on Nonlinear Dynamic Incremental Internal Model Algorithm

This paper adopts the adaptive neural internal model control strategy to design a control system for complex and uncertain process with delay. Because of the shortage of the classic internal model control system the performance of the control system will slip back if there exist large errors between the real plant and the model, an adaptive mechanism based on single neuron which can tune the parameters of the internal model and that of controller in the control system on line is designed. The multimodel approach is exploited to represent the direct model by a model basis made up of five linear models, and to construct a controller trained by the corresponding reverse models. The simulation results shows that the adaptive internal model control system designed in this paper has good performance of overcoming deviations of model parameters.

Extreme learning machine is a novel single hidden layer feedforward neural networks with a strong abilities, for example simple net structure, fast learning speed, good generalization and so on. Aimed at the system with a delay unit, A new control strategy for internal model control is proposed to set up an inverse model of the minimal phase subsystem by using extreme learning machine with in-out system datum. Moreover, the relative stable error for internal model control system with a delay unit is presented to evaluate the system performance. The features for the internal model control system based on extreme learning machine are compared with that based on neural network. The experimental results indicate that the internal model control system based on extreme learning machine has small stable error and strong robustness.

This paper presents an Internal model controller (IMC) for temperature control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Firstly, the temperature of an air-conditioning system of the test room is controlled by using PID controller. The performance and stability of the control process are degraded due to the significant time delay of air-conditioning process. So, smith-predictor scheme is used to compensate the time delay. But when the process has larger system parameters and longer time delay, smith-predictor does not provide better results. To overcome this problem, an internal model (IMC) controller is developed. Simulation results compare the performance of internal model (IMC) controller with conventional PID controller and smith predictor controller. Simulation result shows that an internal model controller gives satisfactory performance with less overshoot and less settling time.

We propose a design procedure of neural internal model control systems for stable processes with delay. We show that the design of such nonadaptive indirect control systems necessitates only the training of the inverse of the model deprived from its delay, and that the presence of the delay thus does not increase the order of the inverse. The controller is then obtained by cascading this inverse with a rallying model which imposes the regulation dynamic behavior and ensures the robustness of the stability. A change in the desired regulation dynamic behavior, or an improvement of the stability, can be obtained by simply tuning the rallying model, without retraining the whole model reference controller. The robustness properties of internal model control systems being obtained when the inverse is perfect, we detail the precautions which must be taken for the training of the inverse so that it is accurate in the whole space visited during operation with the process. In the same spirit, we make an emphasis on neural models affine in the control input, whose perfect inverse is derived without training. The control of simulated processes illustrates the proposed design procedure and the properties of the neural internal model control system for processes without and with delay.

For the thermal process is of special features, and it could be disturbed by uncertain factors easily, a novel modeling method based on least mean square (LMS) adaptive filter is presented. Based on the internal model control (IMC) principle, the sub-loop system and the inert area of the superheated steam system are considered as a generalized control object, an internal model-P cascade control system is designed. The models are built by the adaptive LMS filter, the corresponding internal controller is designed, and the self-adaptive control of the full operating condition is realized. The simulation result under typical operating condition in the superheated steam process of a supercritical once-through 600 MW boiler show that the method has a good regulating performance. The method is based on the online identification; it is adapted to the complex industrial process whose dynamic characters varied with different operating conditions.

We examine antiwindup internal model control with control input saturation. Past studies of antiwindup control systems have not considered the influence of disturbance. We give a new design method-antiwindup internal model control systems with unknown external signal. This method is constructed by a fusion of the internal model control structure and the disturbance observer. Using the present method, the external signals do not exert a bad influence. upon the characteristics of the control systems. A numerical example is shown.

In the present paper, we examine the parameterization of all robust stabilizing Internal Model Controllers (IMCs) for multiple-input/multiple-output plants with uncertainties. The parameterization problem is the problem in which all stabilizing controllers for a plant are sought. Since this parameterization can successfully search for all proper stabilizing controllers, it is used as a tool for many control problems. For stable plants, the parameterization of all stabilizing controllers can be represented by the IMC structure. The IMC structure has advantages such as closed-loop stability is assured simply by choosing a stable IMC parameter. Additionally, closed-loop performance characteristics are related directly to controller parameters, which make online tuning of the IMC very convenient. However, there exists a question whether or not, stabilizing controllers for unstable plants can be represented by the IMC structure. The solution to this problem, Morari and Zafiriou, Chen et al. and Mai et al. clarified that any stabilizing controller for unstable plants can be represented by the IMC structure by the parameterization of all stabilizing IMCs for unstable plants. However, their IMCs cannot guarantee the stability of control system for plants with uncertainties. In this paper, we clarify the parameterization of all proper robust stabilizing IMCs for multiple-input/multiple-output plants such that the IMC and the internal model are proper.

ABSTRACTThe paper proposes a novel method for the nonlinear redundantly actuated parallel robot based on force/position hybrid control structure. In order to solve the limitation of making a compromise for internal model controller, a two-DOF fractional order internal model control algorithm combining the internal model control principle and the fractional order theory is proposed for the position branch of the parallel robot redundantly actuated. This algorithm can realise the adjustment of the dynamic performance and anti-interference of 6PUS-UPU respectively. Aiming at the big force control error fractional order internal model, fuzzy control theory and the fractional order internal model controller are integrated into a new controller-fuzzy fractional order internal model(FFOIM) force control algorithm. Then Admas/Matlab simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can further reduce the driving force error of the system, and also retain the strong anti-interference of fractional order internal model controller.

Pre-service non-music major teachers deem music and music teaching essential, but they do not perceive themselves to be competent in this field due to various reasons. This research aims to reveal the effects of factors such as gender, age, the year of study they are currently in at university, and musical experience on their self-efficacy in music skills and music teaching. The research was conducted with the participation of 395 pre-service teachers studying pre-school education and classroom teaching in the department of basic education in the faculty of education. The data were collected by employing the self-efficacy scale developed for musical abilities and music teaching. The findings of the research indicate that while the self-efficacy of the participants in musical abilities and music teaching does not show meaningful difference by gender, it does show meaningful difference according to the year they are in at university. According to the regression analyses, the important variables predicting perceived musical ability are music teaching self-efficacy, having previously played an instrument, and currently playing an instrument. However, the variable of music teaching self-efficacy is predicted meaningfully only by musical ability self-efficacy.

This paper is concerned with the design and experiment of a fuzzy PID track-keeping autopilot. The proposed approach avoids the time-consuming tuning process for the PID controller gain coefficients and only requires a small number of fuzzy sets (three for the inputs and two for the outputs). Since the gain coefficient of a PID controller can be expressed in terms of the process parameters and a design parameter that characterizes the speed of response of an internal model control (IMC) system. The IMC method is found useful in determining the interval of the universe of discourse of the proposed fuzzy PID controller gains. The line of sight (LOS) guidance law uses the positioning information provided from RTK GPS in computing the reference heading angle needed to guide the ship towards predefined waypoints. The heading deviation and rate of heading deviation are treated as fuzzy inputs and the PID gain coefficients are the fuzzy outputs. Specifically, three sets of input membership functions were used, and both three-set and two-set output membership function design were studied in the four-waypoint track-keeping maneuvers. Simulated results indicate that the achieved track-keeping performance of the two-set output membership functions-based design is nearly as good as that of the three-set output membership function-based design. Similar track-keeping scenarios were tested in the small boat-based track-keeping experiments, which were carried out in the small boat harbor near National Taiwan Ocean University. Experimental results indicate that satisfactory track-keeping performance is achieved for both two-set and three-set designs. This indicates the feasibility and robustness of the proposed approach, moreover the simple structure of the two-set output membership function design makes it attractive for practical implementation.

Control of indoor CO2 concentration based on a process model

A two degree freedom internal model control (IMC) is implemented for the temperature control of a single tubular heat exchanger system. The experimental heat exchanger system is a very simple structure, however, the characteristics are regarded as a distributed parameter system and time delay made by software; the plant is regarded as complex system. With the aim of applying IMC structure, we approximate the heat exchanger system to a time delay model from a frequency response examination. In the laboratory experiment, it is clear that: (1) the two degree of freedom IMC is effective for the time delay system; (2) the two degree of freedom performance of IMC was superior to one degree freedom IMC; the disturbance was reduced compared to a PI controller or one degree of freedom IMC design; (3) since the controller had two degrees of freedom, the one tuning filtering parameter of the IMC controller effected the tracking of the reference and the other tuning parameters of IMC reduce disturbance; (4) the design method was as simple as an ordinary one degree of freedom IMC design; and (5) since the IMC controller was constructed from the system model, there were some problems to set up the modeling and identification.

This chapter considers the design of a fractional order (FO) internal model controller (IMC) for first order plus time delay (FOPTD) processes to satisfy a given set of desired stability margins in terms of gain margin \((A_m)\) and phase margin \((\phi _{m})\). The highlight of the design is the choice of a fractional order (FO) filter in the IMC structure which has two parameters (\(\lambda \) and \(\beta \)) to tune as compared to only one tuning parameter (\(\lambda \)) for traditionally used integer order (IO) filter. These parameters are evaluated for the controller so that \(A_m\) and \(\phi _{m}\) can be chosen independently. This is the first time when the IMC controller is designed without any approximation of the delay in the IMC which has always been approximated using Taylor’s series approximation or Pade approximation. Simulation studies are carried out for three different FOPTD processes and the proposed methodology is validated experimentally on a DC servo-motor system. The results are compared with different well-known IMC techniques and the performance of controllers is evaluated in terms of rise time (\(T_r\)), settling time (\(T_s\)), maximum overshoot (\(\% M_p\)) and integral square error (ISE).
