The problem of parameter estimation for Duffing-like chaotic signal is addressed. A new method with performance enhancement is proposed. Fast estimation of parameters is achieved with introduction of additional filtered linear regression models for each parameter of the signal. Results of simulation are presented, comparison with the gradient method is carried out. Various applications of the proposed method, such as double well and pendulum system, electrical circuits with specific parameters, and chaotic types transmitting systems are considered. The short time of parameters estimation allows for using the proposed method for estimating switching parameters in chaotic Duffing-like systems.

A robust suboptimal stabilization algorithm for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems with input signal restrictions of amplitude saturation type is considered. The proposed approach uses auxiliary loop method for disturbances compensation together with the optimal control provided by a linear quadratic regulator. The object under control is described by a linear interval model in which the effect of unmeasured bounded external disturbances is taken into account. Interval linearization allows to use the proposed approach in practical testing with Twin Rotor MIMO System laboratory setup. Comparison of obtained results with performance at conventional control approaches demonstrate the lack of overshoot and increase the accuracy of stabilization in the steady state with the proposed algorithm.

Results of a research on the accuracy of finite-length discrete-time signal (DS) reconstruction by means of trigonometric interpolation are presented. The case when a non-integer number of discrete counts is placed in one period of the signal is considered. Formal increase in the number of counts of discrete signal is found not to provide always a reduction in interpolation error. The relations between the frequency of the periodic signal, the sampling frequency and the number of counts of DS, providing the least error recovery of the signal, are derived. It is demonstrated that the increase in the number of DS counts used for reconstruction the original signal, may decrease reconstruction accuracy of the continuous signal; the effect is explained by the Gibbs phenomenon when the repair interval of the periodic signal fits a non-integer number of its periods.

Logical element of programmable logic integrated circuits of FPGA (field-programmable gate array) type is called in foreign sources LUT (Look Up Table), i.e. it is essentially a truth table of a logic function. This implementation is based on the perfect disjunctive normal forms (PDNF) representation of the logic functions that require significant hardware costs, as opposed to the implementation in the disjunctive normal form (DNF), used with the 70-ies of XX century in the programmable logic array (PLA). At the same time, much of the logic functions implemented by a number k of conjunctions is much smaller than the total number of sets of n binary variables. However, for programming the PLA requires special programmers, whereas the configuration LUT is loaded into random access memory (RAM or SRAM). A DNF-LUT is proposed to implement a system of logical functions in DNF which significantly reduces the hardware cost of implementing the logic of programmable logic integrated circuits with no deterioration of the performance. Complexity of the proposed technical solutions and the results of functional simulation are analyzed.

Several variants of implementation of such devices on the basis of intermediate transformations of the current delay code into time interval are proposed.

The problem of non-stationary heat flux retrieval in shock and pulse aero- and hydrodynamic tubes is addressed. Peculiarities of the method of parameter identification for difference-differential models of heat transfer in a system containing heat flux inverter and the object of study is considered. Results obtained with the use of the described method are reported to agree well with results of other authors. Recommendations on improvement of the inverter parameters and decrease in the flux measurement uncertainty are formulated. Matrix of feedback, control and measurement obtained using the method allow to determine the dynamic characteristics of the inverter such as transient, pulsed, amplitude- and phasefrequency characteristics, and transfer function.

A technique is proposed for calculations of non-stationary temperature of an isothermal space object of a cylindrical form with the axis stabilized in world system of coordinates, moving on a circular solarsynchronized orbit in the terminator plane. The class of objects under consideration includes a tubulardesign telescope body with axis fixed in the direction to a remote object, e. g. a star. Temperature fluctuations for objects of the class are subject to periodic changes of effective irradiance coefficient reproduced in each cycle of the object revolution around the Earth. For a great value of fixed thermal inertia realized in the case of thick enough wall of the cylinder, the fluctuations may occur with a temporary delay relative to external thermal impacts determined by fluctuations of irradiance coefficient. Average values of the effective irradiation coefficient decrease significantly as the orbit height increases: from a few tenths for an orbit height of 600 km to hundredths at the orbit height of 10000 km, and to several thousandths for a geostationary orbit. At the same time, the fluctuations of the effective irradiance coefficients are diminished, and contribution caused by the power of absorbed solar radiation to the energy balance of the space object increases. When the height changes from 600 to 40 000 km, the temperature level of the object with a completely black surface is lowered by 35 K, while the oscillation amplitude decreases from 5.6 to 0.4 K.

The problem of centering spatial position of a rotor in mechatronic module used in high-precision processing equipment. The known methods of eliminating the unbalance of the rotating parts of electromechanical and mechatronic devices are analyzed. The main disadvantage of the methods is found to be the principle impossibility of achieving high accuracy in eliminating radial displacement of the rotor. A new approach to the problem of stabilization of a rotating part of the mechatronic module is proposed; the method is based on an active current correction of spatial position of the rotor. Design of the electromechanical part of the device is improved by introducing into it correcting electromagnetic coils and a magnetic system to control over the spatial correction of the rotor. A functional diagram of the proposed method and results of simulations are presented. Methods of synthesis of control loops for variables of the active correction system are discussed. The conclusion is made about technical prospects of the proposed method and on the general direction of the further research.

A hardware-software complex for rods control is developed. The complex performance is investigated in various hardware configurations that implements the mirror-shadow method of non-destructive control with the use of multiple reflections on the passing electromagnetic-acoustic transducer. The scanning speed is measured at various parameters of the object under control. The influence of component characteristics on the performance of the complex is estimated. The possibility of a compromise between the maximum possible scanning speed of the rod, the length of the acoustic path, and the size of the recorded echograms is demonstrated based on the balance between the computer performance and registration system capacity. The developed system may be used for solving several problems of structural analysis, thickness gauging, and flaw detection by EMA method.
