Summary Roll‐to‐roll (R2R) manufacturing is an important manufacturing technology
platform widely used for a host of applications and product categories, spanning many …

This paper considers the problem of designing an observer for a linear system subject to
unknown inputs. This problem has been extensively studied in the literature with respect to …

In this paper, we propose a robust control strategy for reducing system frequency deviation,
caused by load fluctuation and renewable sources, in a smart microgrid system with …

The focus of this research is on modeling and design of a decentralized controller for web
processing lines. First, an accurate dynamic model is developed for the unwind (rewind) roll …

In web transport systems, the main concern is to control independently speed and tension in
spite of perturbations such as radius variations and changes of setting point. Multivariable …

In this paper, an active control scheme for an axially moving string system that suppresses
both longitudinal and transverse vibrations and regulates the transport velocity of the string …

A sliding-mode (SM) feedback linearisation control system is designed for a multi-motor web-
winding system. First, an ideal feedback linearisation control system is adopted in order to …

This paper presents an improved relative coupling control structure for multi‐motor speed
synchronous driving system. Unlike the traditional relative coupling control structure, the …

This study proposes the design of a roll-to-roll system for flexible electronics that enables
accurate and precise tension control. It analyzes the factors for change in the tension of a roll …

Tension control is critical for maintaining good product quality in most roll-to-roll (R2R)
production systems. Previous work has primarily focused on improving the disturbance …
