The application of the fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller is recently becoming a topic of research interest for vibration control of structures. Some researchers have successfully implemented the FOPID controller in a single-input single-output (SISO) control structural system subjected to earthquake excitations. However, there is a lack of research that focuses on its application in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems to implement it in seismic-excited structures. In this case, the cross-coupling of the process channels in the MIMO control structural system may result in a complex design process of controllers so that each loop is independently designed. From an operational point of view, the time delay and saturation limit of the actuators are other challenges that significantly affect the performance and robustness of the controller so that ignoring them in the design process may lead to unrealistic results. According to the challenges, the present study proposed an optimal fractional-order PID control design approach for structural control systems subjected to earthquake excitation. Gases Brownian motion optimization (GBMO) algorithm is utilized for optimal tuning of the controller parameters. Considering six real earthquakes and seven performance indices, the performance of the proposed controller, implemented on a ten-story building equipped with an active tendon system (ATS), is compared with those provided by the classical PID controller. Simulation results indicate that the proposed FOPID controller is more efficient than the PID in both terms of seismic performance and robustness against time-delay effects. The proposed FOPID controller can maintain suitable seismic performance in small time delays, while a significant performance loss is observed for the PID controller.

The present study proposes a novel proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control design method in discrete time. In the proposed method, a PID controller is designed for first-order plus dead-time (FOPDT) systems so that the prescribed robust stability is accomplished. Furthermore, based on the control performance, the relationship between the servo performance and the regulator performance is a trade-off relationship, and hence, these items are not simultaneously optimized. Therefore, the proposed method provides an optimal design method of the PID parameters for optimizing the reference tracking and disturbance rejection performances, respectively. Even though such a trade-off design method is being actively researched for continuous time, few studies have examined such a method for discrete time. In conventional discrete time methods, the robust stability is not directly prescribed or available systems are restricted to systems for which the dead-time in the continuous time model is an integer multiple of the sampling interval. On the other hand, in the proposed method, even when a discrete time zero is included in the controlled plant, the optimal PID parameters are obtained. In the present study, as well as the other plant parameters, a zero in the FOPDT system is newly normalized, and then, a universal design method is obtained for the FOPDT system with the zero. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical examples.

In this research paper, we solve the problem of synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic systems described by discrete and time-delayed variable fractional-order differential equations. To guarantee the synchronization and anti-synchronization, we use the well-known PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control theory and the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability theory for discrete systems of a variable fractional order. We illustrate the results obtained through simulation with examples, in which it can be seen that our results are satisfactory, thus achieving synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic systems of a variable fractional order with discrete time delay.

A time delay estimation method based on the discrete time domain approach is introduced here. In this dual-channel time delay estimation model, the criterion function compares the time differences of time sequences between channels, not the magnitude values of time functions as in the conventional cross-correlation method. An estimation task is formulated as an extreme value problem in discrete index space. Using the index delay giving extreme value to the criterion function, it is possible to find the best estimate for time delay distribution in the meaning of that criterion. Using this method, the estimated delay distribution and criterion function are clearly separated. Thus, there are no theoretical problems in the determination of the average time delay or velocity in the non-constant or changing time delay case as long as a sufficient statistical similarity (correlation) exists between channel signals. <p class="Abstract">The theoretical values of several criterion functions and the probability of occurrence of an anomalous estimate with the cross-covariance criterion function are derived. A basic performance analysis of the estimation method is presented. Some potential real-time supervision methods based on the use of criterion functions in the detection of the possible unreliability of the time delay estimate are outlined.</p>
