Observer-Based Adaptive Event-Triggered Fractional-Order Sliding Mode Control Using Online Fractional-Order Learning Approach

Abstract This project introduces an innovative adaptive event-triggered control strategy (ETS) for networked uncertain nonlinear systems with unmeasured states. The proposed method, called ETFFSMC-FAC, combines a fractional-order fuzzy sliding mode controller with a fractional-order actor-critic (FAC) approach. Initially, unmeasured states are estimated using a sigma-point Kalman filter (SKF)

Fractional-order Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control of Uncertain Nonlinear MIMO Systems Using Fractional-order Reinforcement Learning

Abstract This project presents a novel approach to enhance the control performance of unknown multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems. The proposed method integrates a fractional-order fuzzy sliding mode controller with online fractional-order reinforcement learning (FOFSMC-FRL). The controller utilizes two Takagi–Sugeno–Kang (TSK) fuzzy neural network actors to approximate the

Optimal Fractional-Order PID Controller based on Fractional-Order Actor-Critic Algorithm

Abstract This project proposes an online optimization approach for a fractional-order PID controller using a fractional-order actor-critic algorithm (FOPID-FOAC), aiming to enhance the performance of nonlinear systems. The FOPID-FOAC scheme combines the advantages of fractional-order PID controllers and actor-critic reinforcement learning algorithms. The proposed FOAC algorithm employs fractional

Experimental Investigation of Laminated Composite Beams

Experimental Investigation of Laminated Composite Beams This study investigates the failure behavior of woven composite solid laminates with orthogonal woven plies subjected to three-point bending in addition to investigating the applicability of unidirectional failure theories for woven plies. Additionally, it investigates a modification to the Classical Lamination Model that predicts the failure

The STI Policy Research Hub from Nile University's Graduate School of Management of Technology

The STI Policy Research Hub from Nile University's Graduate School of Management of Technology recently embarked on a productive visit to the University of Sussex, facilitated by the British Council. During the visit, the team of Dr. Alaa Adris, Dr. Amr Radwan, Dr. Hebatalla Kaoud and Dr. El Hassan ElSabry ( Dr. Tarek Khalil and Dr. Nadia AlAnsary, virtually attended) had the honor of meeting with distinguished professors, including Professor Jeremy Kent Hall, Head of the Department for SPRU (Science Policy Research Unit) - a world-renowned center for science, technology, and innovation policy
