This paper describes a novel method of estimating the position of a plunger inside a
solenoid. The solenoid is a single-phase variable reluctance actuator, with a highly …

Solenoids are nonlinear actuating devices normally used in a switching mode. This paper
proposes a dual rate cascade control for converting a switching solenoid into a proportional …

In this study, an unconventional electro-hydraulic proportional flow control valve based on a
switching solenoid and a fuzzy-logic controller is proposed for application to hydraulic …

This paper introduces a novel framework for the design, modeling and control of a Micro
Aerial Vehicle (MAV). The vehicle's conceptual design is based on biologically-inspired …

Solenoids can be used as linear or incremental motion actuators, most often by coupling the
solenoid armature to a linear spring. In this configuration, its limited open-loop stable range …

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in alternative sources of power supply for
internal combustion engines. Liquefied petroleum gas injection systems are among the most …

This paper presents a nonlinear controller based on Sontag's feedback to render the
electromechanical valve actuator (EVA) globally asymptotically stable (GAS) …

For improving the dynamic characteristics of the ABS (anti-lock braking system) solenoid
valves, reducing the moving time and considering the influence of the hydraulic pressure in …

In flow control and in hydraulic systems used in automotive industry, eg brakes or automatic
transmission units, one of the basic controlling problems is the precise adjustment of oil …

Solenoid valve is a non-linear actuating device used as on-off control in many hydraulic
industrial applications. This paper presents conversion of on-off solenoid valve into …
