Seismic vibration controlIn earthquake engineering, vibration control is a set of technical means aimed to mitigate seismic impacts in building and non-building structures. All seismic vibration control devices may be classified as passive, active or hybrid where: passive control devices have no feedback capability between them, structural elements and the ground; active control devices incorporate real-time recording instrumentation on the ground integrated with earthquake input processing equipment and actuators within the structure; hybrid control devices have combined features of active and passive control systems.
Master's degreeA master's degree (from Latin magister) is a postgraduate academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. A master's degree normally requires previous study at the bachelor's level, either as a separate degree or as part of an integrated course.
Bachelor's degreeA bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin baccalaureus) or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin baccalaureatus) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years (depending on institution and academic discipline). The two most common bachelor's degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science (BS or BSc).
Closed-loop controllerA closed-loop controller or feedback controller is a control loop which incorporates feedback, in contrast to an open-loop controller or non-feedback controller. A closed-loop controller uses feedback to control states or outputs of a dynamical system. Its name comes from the information path in the system: process inputs (e.g., voltage applied to an electric motor) have an effect on the process outputs (e.g., speed or torque of the motor), which is measured with sensors and processed by the controller; the result (the control signal) is "fed back" as input to the process, closing the loop.
Feed forward (control)A feed forward (sometimes written feedforward) is an element or pathway within a control system that passes a controlling signal from a source in its external environment to a load elsewhere in its external environment. This is often a command signal from an external operator. A control system which has only feed-forward behavior responds to its control signal in a pre-defined way without responding to the way the load reacts; it is in contrast with a system that also has feedback, which adjusts the input to take account of how it affects the load, and how the load itself may vary unpredictably; the load is considered to belong to the external environment of the system.
Engineer's degreeAn engineer's degree is an advanced academic degree in engineering which is conferred in Europe, some countries of Latin America, North Africa and a few institutions in the United States. The degree may require a thesis but always requires a non-abstract project. Through the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), Engineers Canada accredits Canadian undergraduate engineering programs that meet the standards of the profession.
Régulateur PIDLe régulateur PID, appelé aussi correcteur PID (proportionnel, intégral, dérivé) est un système de contrôle permettant d’améliorer les performances d'un asservissement, c'est-à-dire un système ou procédé en boucle fermée. C’est le régulateur le plus utilisé dans l’industrie où ses qualités de correction s'appliquent à de multiples grandeurs physiques. Le premier régulateur proportionnel à avoir été utilisé est probablement le régulateur à boules qui utilise des masses tournantes pour réguler une vitesse de rotation.
Contrôle en boucle ferméeEn régulation, un contrôle en boucle fermée est une forme de contrôle d'un système qui intègre la réaction de ce système (appelée rétroaction ou en anglais, ). Un exemple est un régulateur de vitesse présent sur les automobiles. L'opposé du contrôle en boucle fermée est le contrôle en boucle ouverte, qui ne prend pas en compte de rétroaction. Voici un exemple général présentant la fonction de transfert d'un système en boucle fermée. Asservissement (automatique) Régulateur PID Critère de Nyquist Catégorie:A
Pole–zero plotIn mathematics, signal processing and control theory, a pole–zero plot is a graphical representation of a rational transfer function in the complex plane which helps to convey certain properties of the system such as: Stability Causal system / anticausal system Region of convergence (ROC) Minimum phase / non minimum phase A pole-zero plot shows the location in the complex plane of the poles and zeros of the transfer function of a dynamic system, such as a controller, compensator, sensor, equalizer, filter,
Contrôle actif du bruitvignette|Principe de la réduction active du bruit. Le contrôle actif du bruit ou « antibruit » (en anglais, active noise control abrégé en ANC) est une technique de réduction du bruit par l’utilisation de sources sonores auxiliaires. Le contrôle actif s'oppose à la réduction passive, c'est-à-dire l'isolation phonique par des parois lourdes associées à des matériaux absorbants. Le principe du contrôle actif du bruit consiste à diffuser, par un haut-parleur piloté par un dispositif électronique, une onde sonore qui s'oppose à celle qu'on veut atténuer.
