    Variable Structure Controllers for Unstable Processes
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2015-08) Ablay, Gunyaz
    A variable structure control (VSC) method for unstable industrial processes is proposed. The proposed control method is able to provide a highly satisfactory system performance and to tackle with robustness issues of the processes in the presence of uncertainties. An ITAE-based numerical tuning algorithm for acquiring optimal control parameters, and a direct auto-tuning mechanism for the proposed controller are also provided. The performance of the proposed VSC method is illustrated on some unstable process models including a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), in order to show its effectiveness, validity and feasibility.

    Robust Reactivity, Neutron Source, and Precursor Estimators for Nuclear Reactors
    (Elsevier Science SA, 2013-12) Ablay, Gunyaz
    Reactivity, precursor concentration, and external neutron source strength determine control, operation and performance of nuclear reactors. These main reactor quantities are not directly measurable and must be calculated or estimated using reactor kinetics. This study presents efficient and robust nonlinear estimation algorithms for predicting these fundamental reactor quantities. The effectiveness of the proposed estimators is assessed through chirp and step test signals in the presence of parameter uncertainties and measurement noise. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

    Coefficient Ratios-Based Robust Sliding Surface and Integral Sliding Mode Control Designs With Optimal Transient Responses
    (Inst Engineering Technology-IET, 2014-11) Ablay, Gunyaz
    A coefficient ratio-based sliding surface algorithm and an integral sliding mode control approach are proposed for multivariable dynamical systems. The sliding surface design problem is reduced to the specification of the desired time constant of closed-loop systems. The proposed scheme is able to accomplish a non-overshoot transient response and a short settling time for multivariable systems. The resulting sliding surfaces are robust and optimal in the existence of parameter perturbations. An integral sliding mode control approach is also developed for robust tracking by using the coefficient ratio-based robust sliding surface designs. The developed methods are implemented on a flexible robotic manipulator and a strike aircraft system, and the numerical simulation results are provided in order to show the validity and feasibility of the methods.

    Chaotic Map Construction From Common Nonlinearities and Microcontroller Implementations
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2016-06-30) Ablay, Gunyaz
    This work presents novel discrete-time chaotic systems with some known physical system non-linearities. Dynamic behaviors of the models are examined with numerical methods and Arduino microcontroller-based experimental studies. Many new chaotic maps are generated in the form of x(k + 1) = rx(k) + f(x(k)) and high-dimensional chaotic systems are obtained by weak coupling or cross-coupling the same or different chaotic maps. An application of the chaotic maps is realized with Arduino for chaotic pulse width modulation to drive electrical machines. It is expected that the new chaotic maps and their microcontroller implementations will facilitate practical chaos-based applications in different fields.
