In electromechanical motion systems performance measures such as positioning accuracy, dynamic stiffness and control bandwidth are severely limited by backlash. Several control schemes based on backlash compensation or ...

Physically motivated models of electromechanical motion systems are required in several applications related to control design and auto-tracking, model-based fault detection, feed-forward, and simply interpretation. However, ...

Physically motivated models of electric drive trains with coupled mechanics are ubiquitous in industry for control design, simulation, feed-forward, model-based fault diagnosis etc. Often, however, the effort of model ...

For many problems in the field of control design phenomenological models are required so that the need for parameter identification of given model structures arises. These models can be combined with observers to derive ...

The derivation of bright-grey box models for electric drives with coupled mechanics, such as stacker cranes, robots and linear gantries is an important step in control design but often too time-consuming for the ordinary ...
