Magnetic levitation systems belong to an important and challenging class of control
engineering problems with nonlinear uncertain dynamics, multiple disturbances and large …

MAGnetic LEVitation (Maglev) is a multi-variable, non-linear and unstable system that is
used to levitate a ferromagnetic object in free space. This paper presents the stability control …

The paper presents a fast nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) scheme for a magnetic
levitation system. A nonlinear dynamical model of the levitation system is derived that …

Magnetic levitation (Maglev) systems are usually strongly nonlinear, open-loop unstable and
fast responding. In order to control the position of the steel ball in a Maglev system, a data …

This paper deals with the design and real-time implementation of an Model Predictive
Control (MPC)-based reference governor on an industrial-like microcontroller. The task of …

In this paper we address the problem of state observation for sensorless control of magnetic
levitation systems, that is, the regulation of the position of a levitated object measuring only …

Although a considerable amount of research has been carried out in the field of fractional
order controllers, the majority of the results deal with stable processes. Very little research …

The purpose of this study is to explore the design of a robust control strategy for regulating
the magnetic levitation system, which is affected by model uncertainty and surrounding …

Direct acting solenoid on–off valves are key fluid power components whose efficiency is
dependent upon the state of the spool's axial motion. By sensing the trajectory of the valve …
