Numerical testing of a programmable microcontroller with fuzzy and adaptive features

Numerical testing of microcontrollers is a reasonable way to design their parameters in a consistent environment. Indeed, in such a way, one avoids unrepairable failures of the device to be controlled and the consequent costs. A final experimental test will eventually provide the fine tuning of the parameters. aper pursues the numerical testing of a programmable controller driving an active mass damper (AMD) located at the top of a frame structure subject to base excitation. Its key features are the fuzzy nature of the controller and its adaptive characteristics toward fault-tolerance.
