A rotary MRF (magnetorheological fluids) damper is introduced in tension control systems. An experimental tension control system is designed by using the MRF damper as tension control actuator. Control strategies of the tension control system are studied. A fuzzy-PID feedback controller for the tension control system is constructed, modeled, and numerically simulated by means of MATLAB/ SIMULINK, where the variable parameters of the PID were modified by using the fuzzy inference rules. Numerical simulation results indicate that the fuzzy-PID control strategy can be used in the tension control system to get better performance than the conventional PID control strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
