In this paper we present a theoretical strategy for diesel engine control. More precisely, we propose a new approach to control the speed of the engine using the fuel rate as the control law and we show how this approach can be used to control the opacity. We first establish a mathematical model that describes the behavior of the engine. Afterward, we propose a new nonlinear method to design a controller for a class of nonlinear systems. The proposed method, based on Lyapunov theory, is used to design a smooth feedback law that renders the closed-loop system asymptotically stable around a desired engine speed value. Finally, simulation results are proposed to highlight the performances of the closed-loop system.

And Control

Piecewise affine (PWA) systems belong to a subclass of switched systems and provide good flexibility and traceability for modeling a variety of nonlinear systems. In this paper, application of the PWA system framework to the modeling and control of an automotive all-wheel drive (AWD) clutch system is presented. The open-loop system is first modeled as a PWA system, followed by the design of a piecewise linear (i.e., switched) feedback controller. The stability of the closed-loop system, including model uncertainty and time delays, is examined using linear matrix inequalities based on Lyapunov theory. Finally, the responses of the closed-loop system under step and sine reference signals and temperature disturbance signals are simulated to illustrate the effectiveness of the design.

SUMMARY The problem of finite-time tracking control for n-link flexible-joint robot manipulators is addressed. An adaptive fuzzy finite-time command-filtered backstepping control scheme is presented to solve the following problems: “explosion of terms” problem, finite-time stabilization of the closed-loop system, and the reduction of computational cost. To this end, new virtual adaptive control signals and new finite-time error compensation mechanism are constructed using inherent properties of robot manipulator systems. Based on the Lyapunov theory, the finite-time stabilization of the closed-loop system is proved. Simulation studies show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Adaptive Tracking Control

In order to maintain robotic manipulators at a high level of performance, their controllers should be able to address nonlinearities in the closed-loop system, such as input nonlinearities. Meanwhile, computational efficiency is also required for real-time implementation. In this paper, an unknown input Bouc–Wen hysteresis control problem is investigated for robotic manipulators using adaptive control and a dynamical gain-based approach. The dynamics of hysteresis are modeled as an additional control unit in the closed-loop system and are integrated with the robotic manipulators. Two adaptive parameters are developed for improving the computational efficiency of the proposed control scheme, based on which the outputs of robotic manipulators are driven to track desired trajectories. Lyapunov theory is adopted to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. Moreover, the tracking error is improved from ultimately bounded to asymptotic tracking compared to most of the existing results. This is of important significance to improve the control quality of robotic manipulators with unknown input Bouc–Wen hysteresis. Numerical examples including fixed-point and trajectory controls are provided to show the validity of our method.

SUMMARYThe problem of robust adaptive control of a robotic manipulator subjected to uncertain dynamics and joint space constraints is addressed in this paper. Command filters are used to overcome the time derivatives of virtual control, thus reducing the need for desired trajectory differentiations. A barrier Lyapunov function is used to deal with the joint space constraints. A robust adaptive support vector regression architecture is used to reduce filtering errors, approximation errors and handle dynamic uncertainties. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system using the Lyapunov theory permits to highlight adaptation laws and to prove that all signals of the closed-loop system are bounded. Simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

This paper presents the design and control of a two link lightweight robotic arm using a couple of antagonistic Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires as actuators. A nonlinear robust control law for accurate positioning of the end effector of the two-link SMA based robotic arm is developed to handle the hysteresis behavior present in the system. The model presented consists of two subsystems: firstly the SMA wires model and secondly the dynamics of the robotic arm itself. The control objective is to position the robotic arm’s end effector in a given operational plane position. For this regulation problem a sliding mode control law is applied to the hysteretic system. Finally a Lyapunov analysis is applied to the closed-loop system demonstrating the stability of the system under given conditions. The simulation results demonstrate the accurate and fast response of the control law for position regulation. In addition, the stability of the closed-loop system can be corroborated.

Earthquake Excitation

The problem of robustly active vibration control for a class of earthquake-excited structural systems with time-delay and saturation in the control input channel and parameter uncertainties appearing in all the mass, damping and stiffness matrices is concerned in this paper. The objective of the designing controllers is to guarantee the robust stability of the closed-loop system and attenuate the disturbance from earthquake excitation. Firstly, by using the linear combination of some matrices to deal with the system's uncertainties, a new system uncertainties description, namely rank-1 uncertainty description, is presented. Then, by introducing a linear varying parameter, the input saturation model is described as a linear parameter varying model. Furthermore, based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, the LMIs-based conditions for the closed-loop system to be stable are deduced. By solving those conditions, the controller, considering the actuator saturation, input delay and parameters uncertainties, is obtained. Finally, a three-storey linear building structure under earthquake excitation is considered and simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

Globally Stable

Design of switching / output-feedback controller for discrete-time LTI systems with state-multiplicative noise is considered. The closed loop system achieves a minimum bound on the stochastic performance level, while satisfying the performance. The proposed controller is based on a fuzzy supervisor which manages the combination of two separate and controllers. A convex formulation of the two controllers leads to a structure which benefits from the advantages of both controllers to ensure a good performance in both the transient phase ( controller) and the steady phase ( controller). The stability analysis uses the Lyapunov technique, inspired from switching system theory, to prove that the closed loop system with the proposed controller structure remains globally stable despite the configuration changing.

Nonholonomic wheeled mobile service robot’s posture error model denoted by polar coordinates in global coordinates is established .Based on the inherent discontinuousness of the closed-loop system model, a novel nonlinear state feedback stabilization control law is proposed，which causes closed-loop system state space equation of robot to have isolated equilibrium state at origin. By Lyapunov candidate function method，this paper concludes that the closed-loop system is global uniformly asymptotically stable at origin. Simulation results indicate that the proposed control law is effective.

In this paper, an adaptive robust stabilization algorithm is presented for a class of non-linear systems with mismatched uncertainties. In this regard, a new controller based on the Lyapunov theory is proposed in order to overcome the problem of stabilizing non-linear time-varying systems with mismatched uncertainties. This method is such that the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed in the absence of the triangularity assumption. The proposed approach leads to asymptotic convergence of the states of the closed-loop system to zero for unknown but bounded uncertainties. Subsequently, this method is modified so that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Eventually, numerical simulations support the effectiveness of the given algorithm.

Control Saturation

This paper develops a new nonlinear adaptive longitudinal autopilot for the control of missiles with control input constraint, in the presence of parametric uncertainties and external disturbance input. The objective here is to control the angle of attack of the missile. A saturating control law is derived for the trajectory control of the angle of attack. The control law includes an auxiliary dynamic system in the feedback loop, driven by control input error signal, caused by control saturation, to preserve stability in the closed-loop system. By the Lyapunov stability analysis, it is shown that in the closed-loop system, the system trajectories are uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulation results show that the designed autopilot with constrained input can accomplish accurate trajectory control if the control saturation period is short. It is also seen that although the tracking error increases with the saturation period, the angle of attack tends to zero, once the command input is set to zero. Furthermore this adaptive control system, including the control error signal feedback loop, performs better than the adaptive laws, designed earlier based on immersion and invariance principle, without control magnitude constraint.
