Unidad de efectos de audio en Simulink

La tecnología moderna de computación ha permitido cambiar radicalmente la investigación tecnológica en todos los ámbitos. El proceso general utilizado previamente consistía en el desarrollo de prototipos analógicos, creando múltiples versiones del mismo hasta llegar al resultado adecuado. Este es un proceso costoso a nivel económico y de carga de trabajo. Es por ello por lo que el proceso de investigación actual aprovecha las nuevas tecnologías para lograr el objetivo final mediante la simulación. Gracias al desarrollo de software para la simulación de distintas áreas se ha incrementado el ritmo de crecimiento de los avances tecnológicos y reducido el coste de los proyectos en investigación y desarrollo. La simulación, por tanto, permite desarrollar previamente prototipos simulados con un coste mucho menor para así lograr un producto final, el cual será llevado a cabo en su ámbito correspondiente. Este proceso no sólo se aplica en el caso de productos con circuitería, si bien es utilizado también en productos programados. Muchos de los programas actuales trabajan con algoritmos concretos cuyo funcionamiento debe ser comprobado previamente, para después centrarse en la codificación del mismo. Es en este punto donde se encuentra el objetivo de este proyecto, simular algoritmos de procesado digital de la señal antes de la codificación del programa final. Los sistemas de audio están basados en su totalidad en algoritmos de procesado de la señal, tanto analógicos como digitales, siendo estos últimos los que están sustituyendo al mundo analógico mediante los procesadores y los ordenadores. Estos algoritmos son la parte más compleja del sistema, y es la creación de nuevos algoritmos la base para lograr sistemas de audio novedosos y funcionales. Se debe destacar que los grupos de desarrollo de sistemas de audio presentan un amplio número de miembros con cometidos diferentes, separando las funciones de programadores e ingenieros de la señal de audio. Es por ello por lo que la simulación de estos algoritmos es fundamental a la hora de desarrollar nuevos y más potentes sistemas de audio. Matlab es una de las herramientas fundamentales para la simulación por ordenador, la cual presenta utilidades para desarrollar proyectos en distintos ámbitos. Sin embargo, en creciente uso actualmente se encuentra el software Simulink, herramienta especializada en la simulación de alto nivel que simplifica la dificultad de la programación en Matlab y permite desarrollar modelos de forma más rápida. Simulink presenta una completa funcionalidad para el desarrollo de algoritmos de procesado digital de audio. Por ello, el objetivo de este proyecto es el estudio de las capacidades de Simulink para generar sistemas de audio funcionales. A su vez, este proyecto pretende profundizar en los métodos de procesado digital de la señal de audio, logrando al final un paquete de sistemas de audio compatible con los programas de edición de audio actuales. ABSTRACT. Modern computer technology has dramatically changed the technological research in multiple areas. The overall process previously used consisted of the development of analog prototypes, creating multiple versions to reach the proper result. This is an expensive process in terms of an economically level and workload. For this reason actual investigation process take advantage of the new technologies to achieve the final objective through simulation. Thanks to the software development for simulation in different areas the growth rate of technological progress has been increased and the cost of research and development projects has been decreased. Hence, simulation allows previously the development of simulated protoypes with a much lower cost to obtain a final product, which will be held in its respective field. This process is not only applied in the case of circuitry products, but is also used in programmed products. Many current programs work with specific algorithms whose performance should be tested beforehand, which allows focusing on the codification of the program. This is the main point of this project, to simulate digital signal processing algorithms before the codification of the final program. Audio systems are entirely based on signal processing, both analog and digital systems, being the digital systems which are replacing the analog world thanks to the processors and computers. This algorithms are the most complex part of every system, and the creation of new algorithms is the most important step to achieve innovative and functional new audio systems. It should be noted that development groups of audio systems have a large number of members with different roles, separating them into programmers and audio signal engineers. For this reason, the simulation of this algorithms is essential when developing new and more powerful audio systems. Matlab is one of the most important tools for computer simulation, which has utilities to develop projects in different areas. However, the use of the Simulink software is constantly growing. It is a simulation tool specialized in high-level simulations which simplifies the difficulty of programming in Matlab and allows the developing of models faster. Simulink presents a full functionality for the development of algorithms for digital audio processing. Therefore, the objective of this project is to study the posibilities of Simulink to generate funcional audio systems. In turn, this projects aims to get deeper into the methods of digital audio signal processing, making at the end a software package of audio systems compatible with the current audio editing software.

Advanced 4DT flight guidance and control software system

The work presented in this thesis has been part of a Cranfield University research project. This thesis aims to design a flight control law for large cargo aircraft by using predictive control, which can assure flight motion along the flight path exactly and on time. In particular this work involves the modelling of a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III 6DOF model (used as study case), by using DATCOM and Matlab Simulink software. Then a predictive control algorithm has been developed. The majority of the work is done in a Matlab/Simulink environment. Finally the predictive control algorithm has been applied on the aircraft model and its performances, in tracking given trajectory optimized through a 4DT Research Software, have been evaluated.

Optimal fuzzy PID control tuned with genetic algorithms

Fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) are intelligent systems, based on heuristic knowledge, that have been largely applied in numerous areas of everyday life. They can be used to describe a linear or nonlinear system and are suitable when a real system is not known or too difficult to find their model. FLC provide a formal methodology for representing, manipulating and implementing a human heuristic knowledge on how to control a system. These controllers can be seen as artificial decision makers that operate in a closed-loop system, in real time. The main aim of this work was to develop a single optimal fuzzy controller, easily adaptable to a wide range of systems – simple to complex, linear to nonlinear – and able to control all these systems. Due to their efficiency in searching and finding optimal solution for high complexity problems, GAs were used to perform the FLC tuning by finding the best parameters to obtain the best responses. The work was performed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK software. This is a very useful tool that provides an easy way to test and analyse the FLC, the PID and the GAs in the same environment. Therefore, it was proposed a Fuzzy PID controller (FL-PID) type namely, the Fuzzy PD+I. For that, the controller was compared with the classical PID controller tuned with, the heuristic Ziegler-Nichols tuning method, the optimal Zhuang-Atherton tuning method and the GA method itself. The IAE, ISE, ITAE and ITSE criteria, used as the GA fitness functions, were applied to compare the controllers performance used in this work. Overall, and for most systems, the FL-PID results tuned with GAs were very satisfactory. Moreover, in some cases the results were substantially better than for the other PID controllers. The best system responses were obtained with the IAE and ITAE criteria used to tune the FL-PID and PID controllers.

Rullaussylinterin ja painotelan mallinnus kiinnirullaimen simulointiin

Diplomityössä tutkitaan kaupallisen simulointiohjelmiston soveltuvuutta nykyaikaisen kiinnirullaimen dynamiikan tutkimiseen. Kiinnostuksen kohteena on erityisesti kahden telan välinen nippi, sekä siinä tapahtuvat värähtelyt. Työssä mallinnetaan rullaussylinterin ja telapainolaitteen simulointimallit. Rullaussylinterin simulointimalli yhdistetään Lappeenrannan teknillisessä korkeakoulussa mallinnettuun tampuuritelan simulointimalliin, jolloin nippikontaktin tutkiminen on mahdollista. Simuloituja tuloksia verrataan todellisella laitteella tehtyihin mittauksiin sekä elementtimenetelmällä laskettuihin tuloksiin. Diplomityön mekaniikka mallinnetaan ADAMS-ohjelmistossa monikappaledynamiikan keinoin. Toimilaitteiden sekä säätöjärjestelmien kuvaukseen käytetään MATLAB Simulink-ohjelmistoa. Telojen joustavuuden mallinnuksessa käytetään hyväksi keskittyneiden massojen periaatetta. Järjestelmän hydraulipiirit mallinnetaan keskittyneiden paineiden teorian mukaisesti ja toimilaitteiden mallinnuksessa käytetään puoliempiiristä mallinnustekniikkaa. Työssä havaitaan monikappaledynamiikan soveltuvan kiinnirullaimen dynamiikan tutkimiseen. Kahden diplomityön tuloksena laaditun nippimallin avulla voidaan kuvata rullaustapahtumassa vaikuttavat voimat oikein. Värähtelymittausten perusteella voidaan tehdä karkeita johtopäätöksiä, mallin toimivuuden arvioimiseksi värähtelyjen kuvaamisessa, joskin mallin havaitaan vaativan lisätutkimusta ja kehitystyötä.

Satamanosturin dynamiikan reaaliaikasimulointi

Työn tavoitteena oli mallintaa satamanosturin dynamiikkaa mahdollisimman tarkasti kuvaava yksinkertaistettu malli Simulink-ohjelmalla, jonka jälkeen malli käännettiin edelleen reaaliaikasimulaattorille soveltuvaan muotoon. Nosturin malli yksinkertaistettiin käsittämään kolme osaa: Nosturin rungon, nostovaunun ja kontin. Voimista mallinnettiin pyörien kontaktivoimat, köysivoimat sekä siirtovoima. Reaaliaikasimulaattorina käytettiin Opal-RT:n RT-LAB reaaliaikasimulointiohjelmistoa, sekä tavallisia PC-tietokoneita. Simulointiin liitettiin myös 3D-animaatio, jolla nosturin liikkeet saatiin visualisoitua. Animoitava grafiikka luotiin WorldUp-ohjelmistolla ja liitettiin RT-LAB-simulaatioon RT3D-rajapinnan ja WorldUp Player:n avulla. Työn tuloksena saatiin satamanosturin dynaamista käyttäytymistä kuvaava Simulink-malli, jota on mahdollista käyttää reaaliaikaisessa simuloinnissa. Mallia testattiin RT-LAB reaaliaikasimulaattorissa, ja simuloinnista saatuja tuloksia verrattiin Adams:lla simuloituihin tuloksiin. Saatujen tulosten perusteella mallia voidaan pitää onnistuneena. Myös RT-LAB reaaliaikasimulaattori visualisointeineen vaikuttaa toimivalta kokonaisuudelta.

Developing of the Variable Speed Drive -control in simulated parallel pumping systems

This thesis presents briefly the basic operation and use of centrifugal pumps and parallel pumping applications. The characteristics of parallel pumping applications are compared to circuitry, in order to search analogy between these technical fields. The purpose of studying circuitry is to find out if common software tools for solving circuit performance could be used to observe parallel pumping applications. The empirical part of the thesis introduces a simulation environment for parallel pumping systems, which is based on circuit components of Matlab Simulink —software. The created simulation environment ensures the observation of variable speed controlled parallel pumping systems in case of different controlling methods. The introduced simulation environment was evaluated by building a simulation model for actual parallel pumping system at Lappeenranta University of Technology. The simulated performance of the parallel pumps was compared to measured values of the actual system. The gathered information shows, that if the initial data of the system and pump perfonnance is adequate, the circuitry based simulation environment can be exploited to observe parallel pumping systems. The introduced simulation environment can represent the actual operation of parallel pumps in reasonably accuracy. There by the circuitry based simulation can be used as a researching tool to develop new controlling ways for parallel pumps.

Dynaamisen lämmönsiirtomallin kehittäminen

Dynaamisia simulointimalleja tarvitaan, jotta voidaan tarkastella järjestelmän käyttäytymistä ajan funktiona. Simulointimallilla voidaan simuloida järjestelmän lähtö erilaisilla herätteillä. Mallin avulla saadaan myös tarkempi käsitys järjestelmästä ja sen osa-alueista, koska simulointimallista voidaan tarkastella sellaisia asioita, jotka voivat olla oikeasta järjestelmästä vaikeasti mitattavia. Tässä työssä kehitetään LUT Energian hyötysuhdemittapaikan keskikokoista kalorimetriä approksimoiva dynaaminen lämmönsiirtomalli käyttäen Matlab® Simulink -ohjelmistoa. Kehitetyn lämmönsiirtomallin tarkkuutta arvioidaan todellisella järjestelmällä tehdyillä mittauksilla. Työssä käytetään karkeita approksimaatioita, jotka tulee korvata tarkemmilla matemaattisilla malleilla jatkokehitystä varten. Työssä kehitetty dynaaminen lämmönsiirtomalli approksimoi todellisen järjestelmän vastetta lämmitysvaiheessa keskimääräisenvirheen ±0,19 °C tarkkuudella.

Comparison study of two competing models of an all mechanical power transmission system

A comparison between two competing models of an all mechanical power transmission system is studied by using Dymola –software as the simulation tool. This tool is compared with Matlab/ Simulink –software by using functionality, user-friendliness and price as comparison criteria. In this research we assume that the torque is balanceable and transmission ratios are calculated. Using kinematic connection sketches of the two transmission models, simulation models are built into the Dymola simulation environment. Models of transmission systems are modified according to simulation results to achieve a continuous variable transmission ratio. Simulation results are compared between the two transmission systems. The main features of Dymola and MATLAB/ Simulink are compared. Advantages and disadvantages of the two softwares are analyzed and compared.

Practical comparisons among electronic energy meters, a precision energy meter and IEEE1459 for reactive energy measurements, under unbalanced and non-sinusoidal conditions

This paper presents a practical experimentation for comparing reactive/non-active energy measures, considering three-phase four-wire non-sinusoidal and unbalanced circuits, involving five different commercial electronic meters. The experimentation set provides separately voltage and current generation, each one with any waveform involving up to fifty-first harmonic components, identically compared with acquisitions obtained from utility. The experimental accuracy is guaranteed by a class A power analyzer, according to IEC61000-4-30 standard. Some current and voltage combination profiles are presented and confronted with two different references of reactive/non-active calculation methodologies; instantaneous power theory and IEEE 1459-2010. The first methodology considers the instantaneous power theory, present into the advanced mathematical internal algorithm from WT3000 power analyzer, and the second methodology, accomplish with IEEE 1459-2010 standard, uses waveform voltage and current acquisition from WT3000 as input data for a virtual meter developed on Mathlab/Simulink software. © 2012 IEEE.
