    Multivariable Nonlinear Model Reference Control of Cement Mills
    (Arnold, Hodder Headline Plc, 2003) Efe, MÖ; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering
    This paper presents a method for model reference control of a cement milling circuit that has previously been studied several times. The approach presented is based on an experimentally justified model of a cement milling circuit. We derive the form of the control vector with the goal of driving the response of the system to that of a desired model in a noisy operating environment. The paper demonstrates the selection of the reference dynamics and the derivation of the control laws. The approach is based on the Lyapunov theory, and the results observed justify the tracking and stability claims of the paper.

    Multi Input Dynamical Modeling of Heat Flow With Uncertain Diffusivity Parameter
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2003) Efe, MÖ; Özbay, H
    This paper focuses on the multi-input dynamical modeling of one-dimensional heat conduction process with uncertainty on thermal diffusivity parameter. Singular value decomposition is used to extract the most significant modes. The results of the spatiotemporal decomposition have been used in cooperation with Galerkin projection to obtain the set of ordinary differential equations, the solution of which synthesizes the temporal variables. The spatial properties have been generalized through a series of test cases and a low order model has been obtained. Since the value of the thermal diffusivity parameter is not known perfectly, the obtained model contains uncertainty. The paper describes how the uncertainty is modeled and how the boundary conditions are separated from the remaining terms of the dynamical equations. The results have been compared with those obtained through analytic solution.
