Flexoelectricity allows a dielectric material to polarize in response to a mechanical bending moment and, conversely, to bend in response to an electric field. Compared with piezoelectricity, flexoelectricity is a weak ...

Algorithms for automatic fall detection are often studied in the field of ambulatory human health supervision. These algorithms are developed to generate hospital emergency alarms. In the present paper, Involuntary ...

Sparse model identification by means of data is especially cumbersome if the sought dynamics live in a high dimensional space. This usually involves the need for large amount of data, unfeasible in such a high dimensional ...

This paper deals with the problem of achieving consensus of multiple interconnected Euler-Lagrange (EL) systems using the energy shaping plus damping injection principles of passivity-based control. It proposes a novel ...

Three-phase power converters are largely employed in power generation facilities based on renewable energy sources, and these converters commonly working in grid connection mode are frequently connected to the grid through ...

In this paper we propose a new control scheme for the doubly–fed induction machine (DFIM) that offers significant advantages, and is considerably simpler, than the classical vector control method. In contrast with the ...

In this paper, a two-layer supervisory control scheme is proposed for discrete-time linear systems with state/input constraints, including multiple state time-delays, parametric uncertainties, and exogenous disturbance. ...

This paper presents a benchmark for the detection and isolation of cyber attacks, which is a non-linear controlled interconnected system based on a two tank system. In this benchmark, a malicious attacker wants to remain ...

This paper proposes a model based detection and localisation method to deal with abnormal quality levels based on the chlorine measurements and chlorine sensitivity analysis in a water distribution network. A fault isolation ...
