Nonlinear coupling control method for bridge crane based on generalized movement of load

The invention provides a nonlinear coupling control method for a bridge crane based on generalized movement of a load by aiming at an under-actuated crane system. The nonlinear coupling control method has good trolley positioning and load hunting elimination performances. Compared with an existing crane control method, the method is applicable to not only stabilization control but also trajectory tracking control. The method includes: designing a signal similar to horizontal displacement of the load, and constructing a novel error signal on the basis, so that the coupling relation between a trolley and the load is enhanced. According to the novel nonlinear coupling control method, the crane system is converted into an interconnected system consisting of a load hunting sub-system and an error signal sub-system. The control performance of a closed-loop system is proved by means of inputting the state stability theory and the LaSalle's invariant principle. Experimental results show that good control effects can be obtained by the control method, and the method has good practical application values.

Method and apparatus for the reliquefaction of a vapour

Boiled off liquefied natural gas flows from a storage tank and is compressed in vapour compression stages. The resulting compressed vapour is condensed in a condenser and the condensate returned to the tank. The condenser is cooled by a working fluid, for example nitrogen, flowing in a Brayton cycle. The Brayton cycle includes a heat exchanger which removes heat of compression from the compressed natural gas vapour upstream of its passage through the condenser. In addition a part of the working fluid is withdrawn from a region of the Brayton cycle intermediate the working fluid outlet from the condenser and the working fluid inlet to the heat exchanger and the withdrawn working fluid flows through another heat exchanger in which it removes heat of compression from the natural gas vapour intermediate the compression stages. The withdrawn working fluid is returned to the Brayton cycle.

Fuzzy logic-based control method for helicopters carrying suspended loads

The fuzzy logic-based control method for helicopters carrying suspended loads utilizes a controller based on fuzzy logic membership distributions of sets of load swing angles. The anti-swing controller is fuzzy-based and has controller outputs that include additional displacements added to the helicopter trajectory in the longitudinal and lateral directions. This simple implementation requires only a small modification to the software of the helicopter position controller. The membership functions govern control parameters that are optimized using a particle swarm algorithm. The rules of the anti-swing controller are derived to mimic the performance of a time-delayed feedback controller. A tracking controller stabilizes the helicopter and tracks the trajectory generated by the anti-swing controller.

Legged robot

A legged robot is provided whose trunk link is not prone to wobble in the front-back direction during walking. The legged robot is equipped with a trunk link and a pair of legs. Each leg has a pitch joint capable of rotating the connected links in a plane that intersects with a line extending in a lateral direction of the robot. Rotation centers of the pitch joints are located above a center of gravity of the trunk link. The legged robot walks mainly by swinging the legs backward and forward around such rotation centers. Hence, the trunk link wobbles mainly in the front-back direction around the rotation centers as the robot walks. Because the center of gravity of the trunk link is located below the rotation centers, the gravitational force acting on the trunk link acts in a direction to suppress swinging of the trunk link during walking. Due to this, the trunk link of the legged robot is not prone to wobble in the front-back direction during walking.
