Application of Runge–Kutta–Rosenbrock Methods to the Analysis of Flexible Multibody Systems

Numerical integration methods are discussed for general equations of motion for multibody systems with flexible parts, which are fairly stiff, time-dependent and non-linear. A family of semi-implicit methods, which belong to the class of Runge–Kutta–Rosenbrock methods, with rather weak non-linear stability properties, are developed. These comprise methods of first, second and third order of accuracy that are A-stable and L-stable and hence introduce numerical damping and the filtering of high frequency components. It is shown, both from theory and examples, that it is generally preferable to use deformation mode coordinates to global nodal coordinates as independent variables in the formulation of the equations of motion. The methods are applied to a series of examples consisting of an elastic pendulum, a beam supported by springs, a four-bar mechanism, and a robotic manipulator with collocated control.     

Recurrent Neuro-Fuzzy Modeling and Fuzzy MDPP Control for Flexible Servomechanisms

This paper considers the nonlinear system identification and control for flexible servomechanisms. A multi-step-ahead recurrent neuro-fuzzy model consisting of local linear ARMA (autoregressive moving average) models with bias terms is suggested for approximating the dynamic behavior of a servomechanism including the effects of flexibility and friction. The RLS (recursive least squares) algorithm is adopted for obtaining the optimal consequent parameters of the rules. Within each fuzzy operating region, a local MDPP (minimum degree pole placement) control law with integral action can be constructed based on the estimated local model. Then a fuzzy controller composed of these local MDPP controls can be easily constructed for the servomechanism. The techniques are illustrated using computer simulations.     

An Efficient Active Contour Model Through Curvature Scale Space Filtering

Active contour models can be successfully used in multimedia database retrieval systems if they have good accuracy and high speed. The majority of existing active contour models do not lock on to interest objects very accurately and quickly especially in complex images. The behavior of the active contour is generally controlled by its internal and external energies. Internal energy is composed of two parts; the first part acts to shorten the active contour as it iterates towards the interest object, while the second part is the curvature of the active contour and forces smoothness of active contour during its movement towards interest object. In this paper, first a reformulated internal energy is proposed to improve the computation of curvature at point v _i by making use of the three points v _{i – 1}, v _i and v _{i + 1}. Second, an accurate and high speed active contour model, SAC is proposed based on reformulating internal energy by removing the curvature part and using Gaussian filtering with low scale of smoothing. The SAC model has only one parameter that affects the internal energy of active contour and as a result of using the Curvature Scale Space (CSS)¹ technique for smoothing, the SAC model is more independent of model parameter setting and the initial snake.
