This paper presents a resilient observer-based and event-triggered control scheme for discrete-time Cyber–Physical Systems (CPS) under Markovian Cyber-Attacks (MCA). The proposed framework integrates a Luenberger observer for cyberattack detect...

The operational performance of Flexible Hinge Piezoelectric Stages (FHPSs), essential components in precision engineering, is fundamentally constrained by the inherent hysteresis of the piezoelectric actuator (PEA). A significant deficiency in prevai...

This work presents the development of soft sensor models for monitoring the operation of online process analyzers used to measure the sulfur content in the product of the refinery hydrodesulfurization process. Since sulfur content often fluctuates ov...

To further improve machining accuracy under the constrained conditions of multi-axis dynamic response, current research is focusing on the control of CNC machine toolpaths, with contour error as the target. While extant approaches analyze positions s...

This review synthesizes research on smart insole prototypes and their designs, focusing on those incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and a wireless communication/transmission system. The main objective of this work is to summarize existing stu...

This paper deals with the design and the robustness analysis of a model predictive control (MPC) for the position tracking of primary flight movables driven by electro-mechanical actuators. This study is, in particular, focused on a rotary electro-me...

Aircraft encounter complex ground and air scenarios during service, necessitating a comprehensive analysis of extensive global load cases during the design phase to ensure structural reliability and safety. While high-fidelity finite element analysis...

Micro-motors are essential for power drive systems, and efficient fault diagnosis is crucial to reduce safety risks and economic losses caused by failures. However, the fault signals from micro-motors typically exhibit weak and unclear characteristic...

We investigated the electrochemical properties of and conducted an electromechanical analysis on a stacked polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel actuator, comprising a PVC gel plasticized with dibutyl adipate (DBA) sandwiched between a metal mesh and a metal...

Due to insufficient absolute positioning accuracy, industrial robots frequently face challenges in efficiently performing drilling and riveting operations during the assembly of aircraft and other large-scale workpieces. To enhance the absolute posit...
