This book is a specific monograph on nonlinear resonance in circuits and systems. The topic falls within the wider area of research that the authors have been developing during the last several years, which includes strange attractors and bifurcations in nonlinear circuits and control systems. Particularly, this monograph discusses the active use of jump resonance circuits, outlining the concept of multi jump and multiple hysteresis jump resonance with the aim of designing electronic circuits, either analog or digital, capable of sensing frequency drifts.The organization is optimized for the reader's quick acquisition of theoretical knowledge which can immediately be applied to carry out practical experiments on nonlinear circuits. The first few chapters present main concepts of jump resonance and the recent advances on nonlinear resonance. Then, the relevance of jump resonance is analyzed in the case of the Chua's circuit and presented in the discrete-time domain. The multi-jump resonance phenomenon is also studied, offering the real possibility of designing multi-jump resonance responses for multi-drift frequency detection. Some chapters focus on the presentation of practical devices, including digital solutions.This monograph is a suitable reading for both theorists and practitioners in nonlinear electronic circuits, especially those interested in how nonlinear resonance can be useful to design advanced circuits and systems.

Underwater Labriform-swimming Robot

Underwater Labriform-swimming Robot

Farah Abbas Naser; Mofeed Turky Rashid; Luigi Fortuna

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd
2021
sidottu
This book provides a simplified description of how to design an underwater swimming robot, inspired by the mechanism of the Labriform mode of fish. This style of swimming depends on the pectoral fins only as a main locomotor for movement. A unique model with fins having a concave shape allows the highest thrust force to be achieved during the power period and the lowest drag force during the recovery period, especially if the velocity values between the powering and recovery periods are manipulated.Besides the ability to swim quickly, the proposed model was also inspired by a method of maneuvering based on the principle of differential drive for two-wheel mobile robot, achieving the minimum turning radius by controlling the speed of the rowing fins.Also, by applying the technique of the diving model used by gliders, the robot achieves underwater gliding by changing the center of the body's mass. Thus, the robot obtains the ability to dive and float in a manner similar to the Sawtooth wave.All the mentioned tasks were conducted via laboratory experiments and proven to be both effective and efficient.

Synchronization in Networks of Nonlinear Circuits

Synchronization in Networks of Nonlinear Circuits

Mattia Frasca; Lucia Valentina Gambuzza; Arturo Buscarino; Luigi Fortuna

Springer International Publishing AG
2018
nidottu
This book addresses synchronization in networks of coupled systems. It illustrates the main aspects of the phenomenon through concise theoretical results and code, allowing readers to reproduce them and encouraging readers to pursue their own experimentation. The book begins by introducing the mathematical representation of nonlinear circuits and the code for their simulation. This is followed by a brief account of the concept of the complex network, which describes the main aspects of complex networks and the main model types, with a particular focus on the code used to study and reproduce the models. The focus then shifts to the process through which independent nonlinear circuits that follow different trajectories without coupling share some properties of their motion: synchronization. The authors present the main techniques for studying synchronization in complex networks, including the major measures, the stability properties and control techniques. The book then moves on to advanced topics in synchronization of complex networks by examining forms of synchronization in which not all the units share the same trajectory, namely chimera states, clustering synchronization, and relay and remote synchronization. Simple codes for experimentation with these topics and control methods are also provided. In closing, the book addresses the problem of synchronization in time-varying networks.

Nonlinear Modeling of Solar Radiation and Wind Speed Time Series

Luigi Fortuna; Giuseppe Nunnari; Silvia Nunnari

Springer International Publishing AG
2016
nidottu
This brief is a clear, concise description of the main techniques of time series analysis —stationary, autocorrelation, mutual information, fractal and multifractal analysis, chaos analysis, etc.— as they are applied to the influence of wind speed and solar radiation on the production of electrical energy from these renewable sources. The problem of implementing prediction models is addressed by using the embedding-phase-space approach: a powerful technique for the modeling of complex systems. Readers are also guided in applying the main machine learning techniques for classification of the patterns hidden in their time series and so will be able to perform statistical analyses that are not possible by using conventional techniques. The conceptual exposition avoids unnecessary mathematical details and focuses on concrete examples in order to ensure a better understanding of the proposed techniques. Results are well-illustrated by figures and tables.

The field of cellular neural networks (CNNs) is of growing importance in non­ linear circuits and systems and it is maturing to the point of becoming a new area of study in general nonlinear theory. CNNs emerged through two semi­ nal papers co-authored by Professor Leon O. Chua back in 1988. Since then, the attention that CNNs have attracted in the scientific community has been vast. For instance, there are international workshops dedicated to CNNs and their applications, special issues published in both the International Journal of Circuit Theory and in the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, and there are also Associate Editors appointed in the latter journal especially for the CNN field. All of this bears witness the importance that CNNs are gaining within the scientific community. Without doubt this book is a primer in the field. Its extensive coverage provides the reader with a very comprehensive view of aspects involved in the theory and applications of cellular neural networks. The authors have done an excellent job merging basic CNN theory, synchronization, spatio­ temporal phenomena and hardware implementation into eight exquisitely written chapters. Each chapter is thoroughly illustrated with examples and case studies. The result is a book that is not only excellent as a professional reference but also very appealing as a textbook. My view is that students as well professional engineers will find this volume extremely useful.
Soft Sensors for Monitoring and Control of Industrial Processes

Soft Sensors for Monitoring and Control of Industrial Processes

focussed on the key steps in soft sensor design: data selection; model structure selection and model validation, respectively. Extensions to the basic steps of soft sensor design, namely soft sensor performance enhancement and the modifications needed to facilitate different industrial process applications follow in Chapter 7 and 8, respectively. Widening the applications range and role of soft sensors to fault detection and sensor validation configurations is dealt with in Chapter 9. A great strength of Soft Sensors for Monitoring and Control of Industrial Processes is the use, throughout the text, of a set of industrial case studies to demonstrate the successes and drawbacks of the different methods used to create soft sensor models. A number of different methods may be used in each separate step of the soft sensor design process and the industrial case studies are often used to provide explicit comparisons of the performance of these methods. The industrial control and process engineer will find these comparison exercises invaluable illustrations of the sort of results that might be found in industrial applications. The monograph also highlights the importance of using knowledge from industrial experts and from the existing industrial process literature. This is an important aspect of industrial control that is not very widely acknowledged or taught in control courses. Most industrial processes have already generated a significant experimental knowledge base and the control engineer should develop ways of tapping into this valuable resource when designing industrial control schemes.
