The vehicle dynamics are represented using a kinematic bicycle model, and a hierarchical lane-keeping controller is introduced with multiple delays in the feedback loop. An extension of the semidiscretization method is presented, in order to perform the stability analysis of the digitally controlled vehicle with multiple discrete time delays. The differences between the continuous approximation and the exact consideration of discrete time delays are highlighted. We show that in certain cases, neglecting the effects of quantization can lead to significant inaccuracies, especially when tuning the lower-level controller. The results are verified using a series of small-scale laboratory experiments.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1741-2986}, pages = {330-341}, orcid-numbers = {Bártfai, András/0000-0002-3205-9125; Takács, Dénes/0000-0003-1226-8613} } @inproceedings{MTMT:33755058, title = {Data-driven delay identification with SINDy}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33755058}, author = {Köpeczi-Bócz, Ákos Tamás and Sykora, Henrik Tamás and Takács, Dénes}, booktitle = {Advances in Nonlinear Dynamics, Volume III}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-50635-2_45}, unique-id = {33755058}, year = {2024}, pages = {481-491}, orcid-numbers = {Sykora, Henrik Tamás/0000-0003-1034-4387; Takács, Dénes/0000-0003-1226-8613} } @article{MTMT:34040356, title = {Extending the admissible control-loop delays for the inverted pendulum by fractional-order proportional-derivative controller}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34040356}, author = {Balogh, Tamás and Insperger, Tamás}, doi = {10.1177/10775463231181662}, journal-iso = {J VIB CONTROL}, journal = {JOURNAL OF VIBRATION AND CONTROL}, volume = {30}, unique-id = {34040356}, issn = {1077-5463}, abstract = {Stabilization of the inverted pendulum by fractional-order proportional-derivative (PD) feedback with two delays is investigated.

Different types of stabilizability boundaries and the corresponding geometric and multiplicity conditions are determined using the D-subdivision method. The stabilizable region is depicted in the plane of the delay parameters for given fractional derivative orders. Several special cases and the concept of delay detuning are also discussed.

The mechanical models describing these systems are underactuated, having more degrees-of-freedom than inputs. The trajectory tracking control of underactuated systems is not straightforward. The solution of the inverse dynamics is not stable in all cases, as it only considers the actual state of the system. Therefore employing the advances of optimal control theory is a reasonable choice. However, the real-time application of these is challenging as the solution to the discretized optimization problems is numerically expensive. This paper presents a novel iterative approach to solving nonlinear optimal control problems. The authors first define the iteration formula after which the obtained equations are discretized to prepare the numerical solution, contrarily to the accessible works in the literature having reverse order. The main idea is to approximate the cost functional with a second-order expansion in each iteration step, which is then extremized to get the subsequent approximation of the optimum. In the case of nonlinear optimal control problems, the process leads to a sequence of time-variant linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) problems. The proposed technique was effectively applied to the trajectory tracking control of a flexible rotational-rotational joint (RR) manipulator. The case study showed that the initialization of the iteration is simple, and the convergence is rapid.}, keywords = {Engineering, Mechanical}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1555-1423}, orcid-numbers = {Bencsik, László/0000-0001-6921-7927} } @article{MTMT:33672832, title = {On the global dynamics of path-following control of automated passenger vehicles}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33672832}, author = {Vörös, Illés and Orosz, Gábor and Takács, Dénes}, doi = {10.1007/s11071-023-08284-2}, journal-iso = {NONLINEAR DYNAM}, journal = {NONLINEAR DYNAMICS}, volume = {111}, unique-id = {33672832}, issn = {0924-090X}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1573-269X}, pages = {8235-8252}, orcid-numbers = {Takács, Dénes/0000-0003-1226-8613} } @article{MTMT:33698804, title = {Numerical Analysis on Shimmying Wheels with Dry Friction Damper}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33698804}, author = {Horváth, Hanna Zsófia and Takács, Dénes}, doi = {10.3311/PPme.21072}, journal-iso = {PERIOD POLYTECH MECH ENG}, journal = {PERIODICA POLYTECHNICA-MECHANICAL ENGINEERING}, volume = {67}, unique-id = {33698804}, issn = {0324-6051}, abstract = {The dynamics of the 1.5-degree-of-freedom model of towed wheel is investigated.

Two subject groups were investigated: 6 subjects (MD) with many days of balancing a 90 cm stick on a linear track and 25 subjects (OD) with only one day of balancing experience. The underlying mechanical model is a pendulum-cart system. Two control force models were investigated by means of numerical simulations: (1) delayed state feedback (DSF); and (2) delay-compensating predictor feedback (PF). Both models require an internal model and are subject to certainty thresholds with delayed switching. Measured and simulated time histories were compared quantitatively using a cost function in terms of some essential SPs for all subjects. Minimization of the cost function showed that the control strategy of both OD and MD subjects can better be described by DSF. The control mechanism for the MD subjects was superior in two aspects: (1) they devoted less energy to controlling the cart’s position; and (2) their perception threshold for the stick’s angular velocity was found to be smaller. Findings support the concept that when sufficient sensory information is readily available, a delay-compensating PF strategy is not necessary.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1432-0770}, pages = {113-127}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, Dalma/0000-0002-1162-4594; Insperger, Tamás/0000-0001-7518-9774} }
