摘要：This work deals with the nonlinear control of a marine diesel engine by use of a robust intelligent control strategy based on cerebellar model articulation controller （CMAC）. A mathematical model of diesel engine propulsion system is presented. In order to increase the accuracy of dynamical speed, the mathematical model of engagement process based on the law of energy conservation is proposed. Then, a robust cerebellar model articulation controller is proposed for uncertain nonlinear systems. The concept of active disturbance rejection control （ADRC） is adopted so that the proposed controller has more robustness against uncertainties. Finally, the proposed controller is applied to engine speed control system. Both the model of the diesel engine propulsion system and of the control law are validated by a virtual detailed simulation environment. The prediction capability of the model and the control efficiency are clearly shown.

摘要：Some mechanisms evolve from other mechanisms to fulfil a new function. It follows that there is cognation between certain mechanisms. Addressed in the present paper are innovative design methods for displacement machinery. According to the design of the changeable displacement pump, it may be a closed pair of components in the mechanism that possesses periodically relative movement to form a periodically changeable and closed cavity. To this can be adapted design methods based on innovative theories, such as the Scotch Cousin theory in evolution venations, the theory of Cognation, the theory of “Nodes” among generations and so on. Thus innovative designs for them can be produced by imaginative thinking. Illustrated here is an innovative design for a pump a with half-sphere rotor, developed from a typical 4-bar mechanism in accordance with the principle of Precession Evolution, which is to be applied to the recovery of oil spillage at sea.
