    Adaptive Differentiators via Second Order Sliding Mode for a Fixed Wing Aircraft

    M. Zaouche, A. Beloula, R. Louali1, S. Bouaziz2, M. Hamerlain3
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.104, No.3, pp. 159-184, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.104.159
    Abstract Safety automation of complex mobile systems is a current topic issue in industry and research laboratories, especially in aeronautics. The dynamic models of these systems are nonlinear, Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) and tightly coupled. The nonlinearity resides in the dynamic equations and also in the aerodynamic coefficients’ variability.
    This paper is devoted to developing the piloting law based on the combination of the robust differentiator with a dynamic adaptation of the gains and the robust controller via second order sliding mode, by using an aircraft in virtual simulated environments.
    To deal with the design of an autopilot controller, we propose… More >

    A Jacobi Spectral Collocation Scheme Based on Operational Matrix for Time-fractional Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equations

    A.H. Bhrawy1,2, E.H. Doha3, S.S. Ezz-Eldien4, M.A. Abdelkawy2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.104, No.3, pp. 185-209, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.104.185
    Abstract In this paper, a high accurate numerical approach is investigated for solving the time-fractional linear and nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations. These equations are the most appropriate and desirable definition for physical modeling. The spectral collocation method and the operational matrix of fractional derivatives are used together with the help of the Gauss-quadrature formula in order to reduce such problem into a problem consists of solving a system of algebraic equations which greatly simplifying the problem. Our approach is based on the shifted Jacobi polynomials and the fractional derivative is described in the sense of Caputo. In addition, the presented… More >

    Dynamic Response and Oscillating Behaviour of Fractionally Damped Beam

    Diptiranjan Behera1, S. Chakraverty2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.104, No.3, pp. 211-225, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.104.211
    Abstract This paper presents the numerical solution of a viscoelastic continuous beam whose damping behaviours are defined in term of fractional derivatives of arbitrary order. Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is used to obtain the dynamic response with respect to unit impulse load. Obtained results are depicted in term of plots. Comparisons are made with the analytic solutions obtained by Zu-feng and Xiao-yan (2007) to show the effectiveness and validation of the present method. More >

    A Parallel Boundary Element Formulation for Tracking Multiple Particle Trajectories in Stoke’s Flow for Microfluidic Applications

    Z. Karakaya1, B. Baranoğlu2, B. Çetin3, A. Yazici4
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.104, No.3, pp. 227-249, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.104.227
    Abstract A new formulation for tracking multiple particles in slow viscous flow for microfluidic applications is presented. The method employs the manipulation of the boundary element matrices so that finally a system of equations is obtained relating the rigid body velocities of the particle to the forces applied on the particle. The formulation is specially designed for particle trajectory tracking and involves successive matrix multiplications for which SMP (Symmetric multiprocessing) parallelisation is applied. It is observed that present formulation offers an efficient numerical model to be used for particle tracking and can easily be extended for multiphysics simulations in which several… More >
