Non-linear reparameterization of complex models with applications to a microalgal heterotrophic fed-batch bioreactor
DownloadSpring 2010
Good process control is often critical for the economic viability of large-scale production of several commercial products. In this work, the production of biodiesel from microalgae is investigated. Successful implementation of a model-based control strategy requires the identification of a model...

Nonlinear state-space control design for displacement-based real-time testing of structural systems
DownloadSpring 2011
Moosavi Nanehkaran, Seyed Abdol Hadi
This study presents the nonlinear design of a state space controller to control hydraulic actuators under displacement control, specifically for real-time pseudo-dynamic testing applications. The proposed control design process uses the nonlinear state space model of the dynamics of the system to...
