Robust Controller Design (robust + controller_design)
Selected AbstractsRobust active vibration suppression control with constraint on the control signal: application to flexible structuresEARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING AND STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS, Issue 11 2003A. Forrai Abstract A unified mathematical framework, sustained by experimental results, is presented for robust controller design taking into account the constraint on the control signal. The design procedure is exemplified for an active vibration suppression control problem with applications to flexible structures. The considered experimental set-up is a three-storey flexible structure with an active mass driver placed on the last storey. First, the considered flexible structure is identified and the model's parametric uncertainties are deduced. Next, control constraints are presented for the robust control design problem, taking into account the restriction imposed on the control signal. Finally, the effectiveness of the control system is tested through experiments, when the input disturbance is assumed to be a sinusoidal one as well as a historical earthquake record (1940 El Centro record).

[source] Absolute stability of Lurie networked control systemsINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 12 2010Fei Hao Abstract This paper is concerned with the absolute stability problem of networked control systems (NCSs) with the controlled plant being Lurie systems (Lurie NCSs), in which the network-induced delays are assumed to be time-varying and bounded. First, in consideration of both the time-varying network-induced delays and data packet dropouts, the Lurie NCSs can be modeled as a multiple-delays Lurie system. Then, a delay-dependent absolute stability condition is established by using the Lyapunov,Krasovskii method. Next, two approaches to controller design are proposed in the terms of simple algebra criteria, which are easily solved via the toolbox in Matlab. Furthermore, the main results can be extended to robust absolute stability of Lurie NCSs with the structured uncertainties, where robust absolute stability conditions and approaches to robust controller design are presented. Finally, two numerical examples are worked out to illustrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Reliable memory feedback design for a class of non-linear time-delay systemsINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 1 2004Dong Yue Abstract This paper is concerned with the robust controller design of uncertain time-delay systems with unknown nonlinearity and actuators failures. New methods for designing stabilizing controllers and reliable controllers are proposed. The stability criteria of the closed-loop system, which are dependent on the magnitudes of the delay and its derivative, are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical and simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results, as well as the reduction of conservativeness when compared with existing ones.

[source] LMI based stability analysis and robust controller design for discrete linear repetitive processesINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 13 2003K. Galkowski Abstract Discrete linear repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D linear systems with applications in areas ranging from long-wall coal cutting through to iterative learning control schemes. The main feature which makes them distinct from other classes of 2D linear systems is that information propagation in one of the two independent directions only occurs over a finite duration. This, in turn, means that a distinct systems theory must be developed for them. In this paper, the major new development is that an LMI based re-formulation of the stability conditions can used to enable the design of a family of control laws which have a well defined physical basis. It is also noted that this setting can be used to investigate robustness aspects. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Application of nonlinear time,scaling for robust controller design of reaction systemsINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 1 2002P. Moya Abstract Even though the basic mechanisms of operation of reaction systems are relatively simple the dynamical models obtained from first principles are complex and contain highly uncertain terms. To develop reliable model-based controllers it is therefore necessary to simplify the system dynamics preserving the features which are essential for control. Towards this end, co-ordinate transformations identifying the states which are dependent/independent of the reactions and flows have been reported in the literature. This has allowed, for instance, the design of observers which are insensitive to the (usually unknown) reaction functions. The main contribution of this paper is to show the utility of nonlinear state-dependent time-scaling to simplify the system dynamics, and consequently the controller design. In particular, we show that with time-scaling and an input transformation we can reveal the existence of attractive invariant manifolds, which allows us to reduce the dimension of the system. As an application we study the well-known fourth order baker's yeast fed-batch fermentation process model, whose essential dynamics is captured by a planar system perturbed by an exponentially decaying term. We then exploit this particular structure to design, with reduced control authority, a nonlinear asymptotically stabilizing control law which is robust with respect to the reaction function.
