Forthcoming and Online First Articles

International Journal of Advanced Mechatronic Systems

International Journal of Advanced Mechatronic Systems (IJAMechS)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Multi-platform and open source development tool for automation   Order a copy of this article
    by David Delfieu, Maurice Comlan, Narcisse Assogba 
    Abstract: This paper presents an open source tool allowing to embed a grafcet onto a micro-controller board. This tool assists the user throughout the entire process, starting from the design of the grafcet, defining and assigning inputs and outputs, generating the code, and finally facilitating its download onto a micro-controller board. The graphical part of this software use a J-based package JG for the definition of the interface, and regarding the code generation, the semantics rules of evolution are precisely presented. An application case illustrates the use of the software from modelling to electronic assembly. Temporal data relevant to the application is provided, discussing the limitations stemming from input-output constraints. All of this information helps delineate the domain and scope of applications suitable for this approach.
    Keywords: grafcet; Arduino; programmable logic controller; code generation.

  • Fractional-order model-based robust identification for a vehicle semi-active electro-rheological suspension system   Order a copy of this article
    by Yamina Ali-Larnene, Samir Ladaci, Aissa Belmeguenai 
    Abstract: In this paper, we consider the identification of a semi-active electro-rheological (ER) suspension system. We propose a linear fractional order model in order to represent the nonlinear quarter-car model equipped with the dynamic nonlinear model of ER damper. The objective is to reduce the effects of road profile disturbance and output measurement noise (two acceleration of spring mass and unsprung mass). Simulation results show the effectiveness of fractional order system comparatively to the integer order model used in practice. In fact, the fractional order allows a better compromise between the two outputs performance in the suspension system providing a new degree of freedom for the designer.
