    The parking brake cable in the brake system of a vehicle is an important part in the car. A new material needs to be studied; thus, this paper proposes the analysis and comparison of the results between real testing data and the simulation analysis using a Finite Element model of the part, new casing cap in parking brake cable. To validate and compare the results that can be used practically according to the qualifications and standards, the properties of the new product design, casing cap made from polyamide fiberglass composite, are investigated. By analyzing and comparing these results with the FEA design, the advantages of reduction of the weight and cost in the design process can be achieved. As show in the experimental and simulation results, the error less than 30% of the maximum pull load can be achieved.

    H∞ loop shaping is a feasible method for designing a robust controller; however, the controller designed by this method is complicated and has high order. It is not easy to implement this controller in practice. To overcome this problem, we propose an algorithm, GA based fixed-structure H∞ loop shaping control, to design a robust controller. In the proposed technique, genetic algorithm is used to solve the H∞ loop shaping design problem under a structure specified controller. To compare performance, conventional H∞ loop shaping, proposed robust controller and conventional ISE method are investigated. Results of simulation demonstrate the advantages of a simple structure and robustness against plant perturbations and disturbances of the proposed controller. In this paper, the proposed technique is adopted to design a robust controller of a PCMC buck-boost converter. Experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique. © 2008 IEEE.

    The Development of Adaptive Gray Level Mapping Combined Partical Wwarm Optimization for Measuring the Dimeter Size of Automotive Nut
    (2020-04-01)

    In line assembly process, it is necessary to use the accurate tools to inspect the work piece. In order to measure the width, thickness or depth of the nut used in the commercial car, previously in Thai Steel Cable Company used the caliper to measure size of the automotive nut operated by human as an sample test inspection. Even the result on this technique is high accuracy, however; there are some disadvantages based on this method such as human error, idle time and also fatigue by the human. Therefore, this research focus on the development of the new measurement technique that utilized industrial camera together with the image processing algorithm to measure the entire nut with 100% inspection test. Circular Hough Transform (CHT) is applied to be the basic concept used for finding the circle position and measuring nut diameter. Although the CHT technique can measure diameter of the interested nut, but the result's accuracy is not acceptable due to measuring error from the various range of light condition. This research proposed the new technique, Adaptive Gray Level Mapping algorithm (AGLM) to increase the quality of the input picture before measuring the radius by CHT technique. Moreover, the beta in AGLM is optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique that applies 50% of nut data and other is used for validate. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed AGLM combined PSO that increase the accuracy of the visual measuring method via compare to the conventional threshold with CHT technique.

    Yanyong, Sarucha
    ;
    Force control is widely used in many industrial applications especially in the application that actuator is contacted with environment (contacted object). If environment is changed, the performance of non-adaptive controller may be decreased. The proposed adaptive controller is an online adaptive controller which it does not necessary to identify the plant before controlling because the proposed technique can learn the model from real environment. In addition, bang-bang control is adopted in hybrid fashion to solve the problem of undesired response at learning period which may cause the damage of actuator. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
