Extended-State-Observer-Based Output Feedback Nonlinear Robust Control of Hydraulic Systems With Backstepping

Abstract: In this paper, an output feedback nonlinear control is proposed for a hydraulic system with mismatched modeling uncertainties in which an extended state observer (ESO) and a nonlinear robust controller are synthesized via the backstepping method. The ESO is designed to estimate not only the unmeasured system states but also the modeling uncertainties. The nonlinear robust controller is designed to stabilize the closed-loop system. The proposed controller accounts for not only the nonlinearities (e.g., nonlinear flow features of servovalve), but also the modeling uncertainties (e.g., parameter derivations and unmodeled dynamics). Furthermore, the controller theoretically guarantees a prescribed tracking transient performance and final tracking accuracy, while achieving asymptotic tracking performance in the absence of time-varying uncertainties, which is very important for high-accuracy tracking control of hydraulic servo systems. Extensive comparative experimental results are obtained to verify the high-performance nature of the proposed control strategy.

A nanostructured graphene/polyaniline hybrid material for supercapacitors

Abstract: A flexible graphene/polyaniline hybrid material as a supercapacitor electrode was synthesized by an in situ polymerization-reduction/dedoping-redoping process. This product was first prepared in an ethylene glycol medium, then treated with hot sodium hydroxide solution to obtain the reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline hybrid material. Sodium hydroxide also acted as a dedoping reagent for polyaniline in the composite. After redoping in an acidic solution, the thin, uniform and flexible conducting graphene/polyaniline product was obtained with unchanged morphology. The chemical structure of the materials was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The composite material showed better electrochemical performances than the pure individual components. A high specific capacitance of 1126 F g−1 was obtained with a retention life of 84% after 1000 cycles for supercapacitors. The energy density and power density were also better than those of pure component materials.

Effect of graphene oxide on the properties of its composite with polyaniline.

Abstract: Graphene oxide, a single layer of graphite oxide (GO), has been used to prepare graphene oxide/polyaniline (PANI) composite with improved electrochemical performance as supercapacitor electrode by in situ polymerization using a mild oxidant. The composites are synthesized under different mass ratios, using graphite as start material with two sizes: 12 500 and 500 mesh. The result shows that the morphology of the prepared composites is influenced dramatically by the different mass ratios. The composites are proposed to be combined through electrostatic interaction (doping process), hydrogen bonding, and π−π stacking interaction. The highest initial specific capacitances of 746 F g−1 (12 500 mesh) and 627 F g−1 (500 mesh) corresponding to the mass ratios 1:200 and 1:50 (graphene oxide/aniline) are obtained, compared to PANI of 216 F g−1 at 200 mA g−1 by charge−discharge analysis between 0.0 and 0.4 V. The improved capacitance retention of 73% (12 500 mesh) and 64% (500 mesh) after 500 cycles is obtained for...
