    Abstract: This paper discusses an adaptive control (AC) designed to track an energy-saving point-to-point (ESPTP) trajectory for a mechatronic system, which is a toggle mechanism driven by a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with a clamping unit. To generate the PTP trajectory, we employed an adaptive real-coded genetic algorithm (ARGA) to search for... Show More

    Abstract: This paper gives a preliminary report of the analysis and design process of a scramjet engine inlet operating over a Mach number range from 5 to 10 without the use of variable geometry (moving parts) in order to find an optimal 2D geometry. An introduction of scramjet engine as well as its first component, the inlet, is given in the beginning and a... Show More
