Adaptive Control of the Atmospheric Plasma Spray Process for Functionally Graded Thermal Barrier Coatings

Figure 13

For the desired graded composition of the coating exhibited in row 1 in column 1 under the disturbance shown in row 1 in column 2, the adaptive tracking performance of the measured outputs to the desired responses of the reference model (in red) is depicted from row 2 to row 5 in column 1 using the adaptive process controller by adjusting the control inputs shown from row 2 to row 6 in column 2.
