A sliding mode control approach for systems subjected to a norm-bounded uncertainty

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 4 2007
Anis Sellami
Abstract This paper proposes a design approach of continuous sliding mode control of uncertain systems, the uncertainty being norm bounded. The two steps of the design methodology are investigated. The existence step, in which we choose the sliding surface that gives good behaviour during the sliding mode, is formulated as a pole assignment of linear uncertain system in a sector through convex optimization. The solution to this problem is therefore numerically tractable via linear matrix inequalities (LMI) optimization. In the reaching step, we propose a continuous nonlinear control strategy ensuring a bounded motion about the ideal sliding mode, thus approximating the ideal dynamic behaviour in the presence of uncertainty. Finally, the validity and the applicability of this approach are illustrated by a flight stabilization benchmark example. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Adaptive robust H, state feedback control for linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADAPTIVE CONTROL AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, Issue 9 2008
Dan Ye
Abstract This paper considers the problem of adaptive robust H, state feedback control for linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay. The uncertainties are assumed to be time varying, unknown, but bounded. A new adaptive robust H, controller is presented, whose gains are updating automatically according to the online estimates of uncertain parameters. By combining an indirect adaptive control method and a linear matrix inequality method, sufficient conditions with less conservativeness than those of the corresponding controller with fixed gains are given to guarantee robust asymptotic stability and H, performance of the closed-loop systems. A numerical example and its simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


A reduction paradigm for output regulation

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 7 2008
F. Celani
Abstract The goal of this paper is to provide a reduction paradigm for the design of output regulators which can be of interest for nonlinear as well as linear uncertain systems. The main motivation of the work is to provide a systematic design tool to deal with non-minimum-phase uncertain systems for which conventional high-gain stabilization methods are not effective. The contribution of the work is two-fold. First, this work extends a previous reduction paradigm for output regulation of nonlinear systems. Furthermore, in the case of the uncertain controlled dynamics being linear, we show how the proposed framework leads to a number of systematic design tools of interest for non-minimum-phase linear systems affected by severe uncertainties. A numerical control example of a linearized model of an inverted pendulum on a cart is presented. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Simultaneous ,2/,, control of uncertain jump systems with functional time-delays

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 3 2008
Magdi S. Mahmoud
Abstract This paper presents new results pertaining to the control design of a class of linear uncertain systems with Markovian jump parameters. An integral part of the system dynamics is a delayed state in which the time-delays are mode dependent. The jumping parameters are modelled as a continuous-time, discrete-state Markov process and the uncertainties are norm-bounded. We construct an appropriate Lyapunov,Krasovskii functional and design a simultaneous ,2/,, controller which minimizes a quadratic ,2 performance measure while satisfying a prescribed ,, -norm bound on the closed-loop system. It is established that sufficient conditions for the existence of the simultaneous ,2/,, controller and the associated performance upper bound are cast in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Simulation results are provided and extension to the case where the jumping rates are subject to uncertainties is presented. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


New results in robust actuator fault reconstruction for linear uncertain systems using sliding mode observers

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 14 2007
Kok Yew Ng
Abstract This paper presents a robust actuator fault reconstruction scheme for linear uncertain systems using sliding mode observers. In existing work, fault reconstruction via sliding mode observers is limited to either linear certain systems subject to unknown inputs, relative degree one systems or a specific class of relative degree two systems. This paper presents a new method that is applicable to a wider class of systems with relative degree higher than one, and can also be used for systems with more unknown inputs than outputs. The method uses two sliding mode observers in cascade. Signals from the first observer are processed and used to drive the second observer. Overall, this results in actuator fault reconstruction being feasible for a wider class of systems than using existing methods. A simulation example verifies the claims made in this paper.

Optimal state filtering and parameter identification for linear systems

OPTIMAL CONTROL APPLICATIONS AND METHODS, Issue 2 2008
Michael Basin
Abstract This paper presents the optimal filtering and parameter identification problem for linear stochastic systems with unknown multiplicative and additive parameters over linear observations, where unknown parameters are considered Wiener processes. The original problem is reduced to the filtering problem for an extended state vector that incorporates parameters as additional states. The obtained optimal filter for the extended state vector also serves as the optimal identifier for the unknown parameters. Performance of the designed optimal state filter and parameter identifier is verified for both stable and unstable linear uncertain systems. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


A note on the robust control of Markov jump linear uncertain systems

OPTIMAL CONTROL APPLICATIONS AND METHODS, Issue 2 2002
D. P. de Farias
Abstract This note addresses a robust control problem of continuous-time jump linear Markovian systems subject to norm-bounded parametric uncertainties. The problem is expressed in terms of a H, control problem as in the purely deterministic case. The present formulation is simpler and it contains previous results in the literature as particular cases. Robust state feedback controllers are parameterized by means of a set of linear matrix inequalities. The result is illustrated by solving some examples numerically.

AN ITERATIVE LMI APPROACH TO RFDF FOR LINEAR SYSTEM WITH TIME-VARYING DELAYS

ASIAN JOURNAL OF CONTROL, Issue 1 2006
Maiying Zhong
ABSTRACT This paper deals with robust fault detection filter (RFDF) problem for a class of linear uncertain systems with time-varying delays and model uncertainties. The RFDF design problem is formulated as an optimization problem by using L2 -induced norm to represent the robustness of residual to unknown inputs and modelling errors, and the sensitivity to faults. A sufficient condition to the solvability of formulated problem is established in terms of certain matrix inequalities, which can be solved with the aid of an iterative linear matrix inequality (ILMI) algorithm. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [source]
