The end-effects is a well-recognized phenomenon occurring in the linear induction motor (LIM) which makes the analysis and control of the LIM with good performance very difficult and can cause additional significant non-linearities in the model. So, the compensation of parameters uncertainties due to these effects in the control system is very necessary to get a robust speed control. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new technique of LIM end-effects estimation using the inverse rotor time constant tuning in order to compensate the flux orientation error in the indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) control law.

First, the dynamic model of the LIM taking into consideration the end-effects based on Duncan model is derived. Then, the IFOC for LIM speed control with end-effects compensation is derived. Finally, a new technique of LIM end-effects estimation is proposed based on the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) theory using the instantaneous active power and the estimated stator currents vector. These estimated currents are obtained through the solution of LIM state equations.

Simulations were carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of LIM speed control with the proposed MRAS inverse rotor time constant tuning to estimate end-effects value. The numerical validation results show that the proposed scheme permits the drive to achieve good dynamic performance, satisfactory for the estimated end-effects of the LIM model and robustness to uncertainties.

The end-effects causes a drop in the magnetizing, primary and the secondary inductance, requiring a more complex LIM control scheme. This paper presents a new approach of LIM end-effect estimation based on the online adaptation and tuning of the LIM inductances. The proposed scheme use the inverse rotor time constant tuning for end-effects correction in LIM vector control block.

The purpose of this paper is to propose mover position control of linear induction motor (LIM) using an adaptive backstepping approach based on field orientation.

First, the indirect field‐oriented control LIM is derived. Then, an adaptive backstepping approach based on field‐oriented control of LIM is proposed to compensate the uncertainties which occur in the control. Mover position amplitude tracking objective is formulated, under the assumption of unknown total mass of the moving element, viscous friction, and load force, so that the position regulation is achieved.

The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control scheme are verified by numerical simulation using Matlab/Simulink model. The numerical validation results of the proposed scheme have presented good transient control performances and robustness to uncertainties compared to the conventional backstepping control design.

The paper presents an adaptive backstepping approach for LIM control that achieves mover position amplitude tracking objective under mechanical parameter variation.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new control strategy based on adaptive inverse control aiming at high performance control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM).

This scheme adopts the vector control with double closed-loop structure and introduces a multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN) inverse control method into velocity-loop. First, the invertibility of PMSM’s mathematical model is proved. Second, a novel dynamic network (MTN) is presented, which has simple structure and faster computing speed. Besides, to realize the high-precision speed control, three MTNs are applied to achieve system modeling, inverse modeling and noise disturbance elimination which correspond to the function of the adaptive identifier, adaptive feed-forward controller and nonlinear adaptive filter, respectively.

This scheme is designed with the full consideration of the PMSM’s particularity. For the PMSM’s unknown dynamics and time-varying characteristics, the variable forgetting factor recursive least squares algorithm is adopted to improve identification ability, and the weight-elimination algorithm is used to remove redundant regression items in the MTN identifier and inverse controller. In addition, to reduce the influence arose from measurement noise and other stochastic factors, adaptive MTN filter is introduced to eliminate noise disturbance. The computational results show that the proposed scheme possesses excellent control performance and better robustness against the load disturbance.

The paper presents a new inverse control scheme with MTN which is practical and flexible, and the MTN-based control system is very promising for real-time applications.

Thermal buckling of double-layered piezoelectric nanoplates has been analyzed by applying an external electric voltage on the nanoplates. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

Double-layered nanoplates are connected to each other by considering linear van der Waals forces. Nanoplates are placed on a polymer matrix. A comprehensive thermal stress function is used for investigating thermal buckling. A linear electric function is used for taking external electric voltages into account. For considering the small-scale effect, the modified couple stress theory has been applied. An analytical solution has been used by taking various boundary conditions.

EEV has a considerable impacted on the results of various half-waves in all boundary conditions. By increasing EEV, the reduction of critical buckling temperature in higher half-waves is remarkably slower than lower half-waves. By considering long lengths, the effect of EEV on the critical temperature will be markedly decreased.

This paper uses electro-thermal stability analysis. Double-layered piezoelectric nanoplates are analyzed. A comprehensive thermal stress function is applied for taking into account critical temperature.

This study aims to review the current EU approach to regulating crypto assets. It highlights the key points, opportunities and risks of the MiCA regulation, which is designed to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets in the EU.

To do so, the authors extensively reviewed the literature and reports from several advisory and watchdog bodies and international organizations.

Although MiCA is an ambitious piece of legislation, there are still many unresolved issues and questions that the new regulation raises. Controversially several items have also been excluded from the MiCA regulations, including decentralized finance, non-fungible tokens unless they qualify under the existing cryptocurrency categories, as well as central bank digital currencies.

This study also addresses the Liechtenstein Token Act Regulation, which is considered to have served as a model for the EU MiCA Directive and the regulation of cryptocurrencies at the European level.
