  • Tracking of High-Speed, Non-Smooth and Microscale-Amplitude Wave Trajectories
    Tracking of High-speed, Non-smooth and Microscale-amplitude Wave Trajectories Jiradech Kongthon Department of Mechatronics Engineering, Assumption University, Suvarnabhumi Campus, Samuthprakarn, Thailand Keywords: High-speed Tracking, Inversion-based Control, Microscale Positioning, Reduced-order Inverse, Tracking. Abstract: In this article, an inversion-based control approach is proposed and presented for tracking desired trajectories with high-speed (100Hz), non-smooth (triangle and sawtooth waves), and microscale-amplitude (10 micron) wave forms. The interesting challenge is that the tracking involves the trajectories that possess a high frequency, a microscale amplitude, sharp turnarounds at the corners. Two different types of wave trajectories, which are triangle and sawtooth waves, are investigated. The model, or the transfer function of a piezoactuator is obtained experimentally from the frequency response by using a dynamic signal analyzer. Under the inversion-based control scheme and the model obtained, the tracking is simulated in MATLAB. The main contributions of this work are to show that (1) the model and the controller achieve a good tracking performance measured by the root mean square error (RMSE) and the maximum error (Emax), (2) the maximum error occurs at the sharp corner of the trajectories, (3) tracking the sawtooth wave yields larger RMSE and Emax values,compared to tracking the triangle wave, and (4) in terms of robustness to modeling error or unmodeled dynamics, Emax is still less than 10% of the peak to peak amplitude of 20 micron if the increases in the natural frequency and the damping ratio are less than 5% for the triangle trajectory and Emax is still less than 10% of the peak to peak amplitude of 20 micron if the increases in the natural frequency and the damping ratio are less than 3.2 % for the sawtooth trajectory.

  • The Oscilloscope and the Function Generator: Some Introductory Exercises for Students in the Advanced Labs
    The Oscilloscope and the Function Generator: Some introductory exercises for students in the advanced labs Introduction So many of the experiments in the advanced labs make use of oscilloscopes and function generators that it is useful to learn their general operation. Function generators are signal sources which provide a specifiable voltage applied over a specifiable time, such as a \sine wave" or \triangle wave" signal. These signals are used to control other apparatus to, for example, vary a magnetic field (superconductivity and NMR experiments) send a radioactive source back and forth (M¨ossbauer effect experiment), or act as a timing signal, i.e., \clock" (phase-sensitive detection experiment). Oscilloscopes are a type of signal analyzer|they show the experimenter a picture of the signal, usually in the form of a voltage versus time graph. The user can then study this picture to learn the amplitude, frequency, and overall shape of the signal which may depend on the physics being explored in the experiment. Both function generators and oscilloscopes are highly sophisticated and technologically mature devices. The oldest forms of them date back to the beginnings of electronic engineering, and their modern descendants are often digitally based, multifunction devices costing thousands of dollars. This collection of exercises is intended to get you started on some of the basics of operating 'scopes and generators, but it takes a good deal of experience to learn how to operate them well and take full advantage of their capabilities. Function generator basics Function generators, whether the old analog type or the newer digital type, have a few common features: A way to select a waveform type: sine, square, and triangle are most common, but some will • give ramps, pulses, \noise", or allow you to program a particular arbitrary shape.

  • True RMS, Trueinrush®, and True Megohmmeter®
    “WATTS CURRENT” TECHNICAL BULLETIN Issue 09 Summer 2016 True RMS, TrueInRush®, and True Megohmmeter ® f you’re a user of AEMC® instruments, you may have come across the terms True IRMS, TrueInRush®, and/or True Megohmmeter ®. In this article, we’ll briefly define what these terms mean and why they are important to you. True RMS The most well-known of these is True RMS, an industry term for a method for calculating Root Mean Square. Root Mean Square, or RMS, is a mathematical concept used to derive the average of a constantly varying value. In electronics, RMS provides a way to measure effective AC power that allows you to compare it to the equivalent heating value of a DC system. Some low-end instruments employ a technique known as “average sensing,” sometimes referred to as “average RMS.” This entails multiplying the peak AC voltage or current by 0.707, which represents the decimal form of one over the square root of two. For electrical systems where the AC cycle is sinusoidal and reasonably undistorted, this can produce accurate and reliable results. Unfortunately, for other AC waveforms, such as square waves, this calculation can introduce significant inaccuracies. The equation can also be problematic when the AC wave is non-linear, as would be found in systems where the original or fundamental wave is distorted by one or more harmonic waves. In these cases, we need to apply a method known as “true” RMS. This involves a more generalized mathematical calculation that takes into consideration all irregularities and asymmetries that may be present in the AC waveform: In this equation, n equals the number of measurements made during one complete cycle of the waveform.

INTRODUCTION The conversion of ttiangle waves to sine waves is a function I ---- I- often required in waveshaping circuits. For example, the oscil- lators used in function generators usually generate triangular output waveforms [ 1] because of the ease with which such oscillators can operate over a wide frequency range including very low frequencies. This situation is also common in mono- r v, Zr t lithic oscillators [2] . Sinusoidal outputs are commonly de- sired in such oscillators and can be achieved by use of a non- linear circuit which produces an output sine wave from an input triangle wave. — — — — The above circuit function has been realized in the past by -I -I ----- means of a piecewise linear approximation using diode shaping J ‘“b ‘M VI networks [ 1] . However, a simpler approach and one well M suited to monolithic realization has been suggested by Grebene [3] . This is shown in Fig. 1 and consists simply of a differen- 77 tial pair with an appropriate value of emitter resistance R.

  • Basic Statistics = ∑
    Basic Statistics, Page 1 Basic Statistics Author: John M. Cimbala, Penn State University Latest revision: 26 August 2011 Introduction The purpose of this learning module is to introduce you to some of the fundamental definitions and techniques related to analyzing measurements with statistics. In all the definitions and examples discussed here, we consider a collection (sample) of measurements of a steady parameter. E.g., repeated measurements of a temperature, distance, voltage, etc. Basic Definitions for Data Analysis using Statistics First some definitions are necessary: o Population – the entire collection of measurements, not all of which will be analyzed statistically. o Sample – a subset of the population that is analyzed statistically. A sample consists of n measurements. o Statistic – a numerical attribute of the sample (e.g., mean, median, standard deviation). Suppose a population – a series of measurements (or readings) of some variable x is available. Variable x can be anything that is measurable, such as a length, time, voltage, current, resistance, etc. Consider a sample of these measurements – some portion of the population that is to be analyzed statistically. The measurements are x1, x2, x3, ..., xn, where n is the number of measurements in the sample under consideration. The following represent some of the statistics that can be calculated: 1 n Mean – the sample mean is simply the arithmetic average, as is commonly calculated, i.e., x xi , n i1 where i is one of the n measurements of the sample. o We sometimes use the notation xavg instead of x to indicate the average of all x values in the sample, especially when using Excel since overbars are difficult to add.

  • Physics 115A: Statistical Physics
    Physics 115A: Statistical Physics Prof. Clare Yu email: [email protected] phone: 949-824-6216 Office: 210E RH Fall 2013 LECTURE 1 Introduction So far your physics courses have concentrated on what happens to one object or a few objects given an external potential and perhaps the interactions between objects. For example, Newton’s second law F = ma refers to the mass of the object and its acceleration. In quantum mechanics, one starts with Schroedinger’s equation Hψ = Eψ and solves it to find the wavefunction ψ which describes a particle. But if you look around you, the world has more than a few particles and objects. The air you breathe and the coffee you drink has lots and lots of atoms and molecules. Now you might think that if we can describe each atom or molecule with what we know from classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetism, we can just scale up and describe 1023 particles. That’s like saying that if you can cook dinner for 3 people, then just scale up the recipe and feed the world. The reason we can’t just take our solution for the single particle problem and multiply by the number of particles in a liquid or a gas is that the particles interact with one another, i.e., they apply a force on each other. They see the potential produced by other particles. This makes things really complicated. Suppose we have a system of N interacting particles. Using Newton’s equations, we would write: d~p d2~x i = m i = F~ = V (~x , ~x , ..., ~x ) (1) dt dt2 ij −∇ i 1 2 N Xj6=i where F~ij is the force on the ith particle produced by the jth particle.

(2) Each term in the series is separately a solution to the wave equation satisfying the boundary conditions, and so the series sum itself is such a solution.
