Fractional calculus has been studied for over three centuries, and it has multifarious
applications in science and engineering. This review investigates its progress since the first …

Several papers reviewing fractional order calculus in control applications have been
published recently. These papers focus on general tuning procedures, especially for the …

In this paper, a 3-degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulator developed by Tsai and Stamper
known as the Maryland manipulator is considered. In order to provide dynamic analysis …

This study presents the application of a fractional-order PI λ D μ and an active disturbance
rejection (ADR) controller to a nonlinear two-mass system. A complete state-space …

The problem of changing the dynamics of an existing DC motor control system without the
need of making internal changes is considered in the paper. In particular, this paper …

This article presents an integrated non-linear dynamic model of a Pressurized Water-type
Nuclear Reactor (PWR) and associated plant components for control design and evaluation …

The aim of this paper is to employ fractional order proportional integral derivative (FO-PID)
controller and integer order PID controller to control the position of the levitated object in a …

This investigation is to review advanced technologies for modeling and control of reactor
cores in nuclear power plants for electricity generation. A reactor core in a nuclear power …

A simple approach with a small number of tuning parameters is a key goal in fractional order
controller design. Recently there have been a number of limited attempts to bring about …

This paper deals with fractional-order (FO) modeling of the neutron transport process inside
the core of a nuclear reactor. Conventional integer-order diffusion model of neutron transport …
