Shape optimization of a flywheel
Journal Title: Automatyka - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The article presents the problem of the use of flywheels as an energy storage. More specifically focused on the issue of the optimal shape for isotropic materials and shapes, for which you can analytically determine the internal stress. The optimality criterion takes into account parameters such as moment of inertia (stored energy) and energy density. Efforts were made to choose a compromise between these two conflicting values, and therefore have been used multi-criteria optimization methods.

A Comparison between Integer Order and Non-integer Order Controllers Applied to a Water Levelling System
The purpose of this paper is to compare responses of two systems with two types of controllers: integer order PI controller and non-integer order PIλ controller (FOPI). Comparison is made on the grounds of time domain re...
Supervising control system for oriented PV using weather forecasts
This paper is devoted to the problem of controlling an oriented PV using weather forecasts. The described solution presents the use of fuzzy logic fundamentals in order to increase the efficiency of a PV system. It differ...
New approach in modelling of the patients behavior in Primary Health Care (PHC)
The purpose of this paper is to show the concept of simulation of Primary Health Care (PHC) patients behavior. There are two reasons for interest in this area. The first of them is the need for support in decision making...
The use of EMG signal in human-machine interface
In this paper, the analysis and processing algorithms of EMG signals have been presented. The main purpose of the research was to verify the usefulness of EMG signals in controlling a bionic prosthesis or exoskeleton. Th...
On D-decomposition of periodically sampled systems
The problem of the stability of non-uniformly sampled systems is considered. For this purpose, the D-decomposition method for determining the stability region in parameter space is investigated. Moreover, basic informati...
