Abstract

Summary In this paper, a delay‐compensated bang‐bang control design methodology for the control of the nozzle output flow rate of screw extruder‐based three‐dimensional printing processes is developed. A geometrical decomposition of the screw extruder in a partially and a fully filled regions allows to describe the material convection in the extruder chamber by a one‐dimensional hyperbolic partial differential equation (PDE) coupled with an ordinary differential equation. After solving the hyperbolic PDE by the method of characteristics, the coupled PDE–ordinary differential equation's system is transformed into a nonlinear state‐dependent input delay system. The aforementioned delay system is extended to the non‐isothermal case with the consideration of periodic fluctuations acting on the material's convection speed, which represent the process variabilities due to temperature changes in the extruder chamber, resulting to a nonlinear system with an input delay that simultaneously depends on the state and the time variable. Global exponential stability of the nonlinear delay‐free plant is established under a piecewise exponential feedback controller that is designed. By combining the nominal, piecewise exponential feedback controller with nonlinear predictor feedback, the compensation of the time‐dependent and state‐dependent input delay of the extruder model is achieved. Global asymptotic stability of the closed‐loop system under the bang‐bang predictor feedback control law is established when certain conditions related to the extruder design and the material properties, as well as to the magnitude and frequency of the materials transport speed variations, are satisfied. Simulations results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control design. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • System (1)-(3) is no longer equivalent to the classical time-delay system in [5,6,14-17].

    “Equation (31) indicates that system (1)-(3) is no longer equivalent to the following classical time-delay system in [5,6,14-17]”
  • Using φ(t) avoids the density-based transformation employed in prior work and feeds the predicted flux directly into (75).

    “By using the ϕ ( t ) , we avoid the density-based transformation employed in prior work (e.g. [9,15,23], and instead feed the predicted flux directly into (75).”

    From Multi-layer predictor feedback design for nonlinear integro-differential equations with state-dependent input delays (2026) · cites this paper as [15]

    The citation is attached to the claim that prior work employed a density-based transformation. Sections 2.2.3–2.2.4 use density in the extruder’s mass-balance and flow-rate equations, but the passages found do not describe a density-based transformation. Section 5.1 defines φ(t) as an input-delay relation, not as evidence for that attributed prior-work method. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
