This scientific monograph discusses the numerical analysis of a PID controlled and temperature constrained welding process. Temperature controlled welding may be essential amongst others to prevent deformation, residual stress or for in-service gas pipeline maintenance. This book discusses a method to model such a controlled welding process through finite element analysis. The Goldak moving heat source model representing the arc welding process has been implemented into the proprietary macro language of ANSYS, APDL. Algorithms have been developed to take readings of temperature levels on the...

Real-time model predictive controller (MPC) implementation in active vibration control (AVC) is often rendered difficult by fast sampling speeds and extensive actuator-deformation asymmetry. If the control of lightly damped mechanical structures is assumed, the region of attraction containing the set of allowable initial conditions requires a large prediction horizon, making the already computationally demanding on-line process even more complex. Model Predictive Vibration Control provides insight into the predictive control of lightly damped vibrating structures by exploring...
