Robust Performance

This paper studies inducing robust stable oscillations in nonlinear systems of any order. This goal is achieved through creating stable limit cycles in the closed-loop system. For this purpose, the Lyapunov stability theorem which is suitable for stability analysis of the limit cycles is used. In this approach, the Lyapunov function candidate should have zero value for all the points of the limit cycle and be positive in the other points in the vicinity of it. The proposed robust controller consists of a nominal control law with an additional term that guarantees the robust performance. It is proved that the designed controller results in creating the desirable stable limit cycle in the phase trajectories of the uncertain closed-loop system and leads to induce stable oscillations in the system's output. Additionally, in order to show the applicability of the proposed method, it is applied on two practical systems: a time-periodic microelectromechanical system (MEMS) with parametric errors and a single-link flexible joint robot in the presence of external disturbances. Computer simulations show the effective robust performance of the proposed controllers in generating the robust output oscillations.

This paper proposes a stable adaptive fuzzy control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems with multiple inputs. The multiple inputs T-S fuzzy bilinear model is established to represent the unknown complex systems. A parallel distributed compensation (PDC) method is utilized to design the fuzzy controller without considering the error due to fuzzy modelling and the sufficient conditions of the closed-loop system stability with respect to decay rateαare derived by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Then the errors caused by fuzzy modelling are considered and the method of adaptive control is used to reduce the effect of the modelling errors, and dynamic performance of the closed-loop system is improved. By Lyapunov stability criterion, the resulting closed-loop system is proved to be asymptotically stable. The main contribution is to deal with the differences between the T-S fuzzy bilinear model and the real system; a global asymptotically stable adaptive control scheme is presented for real complex systems. Finally, illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results proposed in this paper.

Abstract. Glacier lake outburst floods are common glacial hazards around the world. How big such floods can become (either in terms of peak discharge or in terms of total volume released) depends on how they are initiated: what causes the runaway enlargement of a subglacial or other conduit to start, and how big can the lake get before that point is reached? Here we investigate how the spontaneous channelization of a linked-cavity drainage system controls the onset of floods. In agreement with previous work, we show that floods only occur in a band of water throughput rates, and identify stabilizing mechanisms that allow steady drainage of an ice-dammed reservoir. We also show how stable limit cycle solutions emerge from the instability, a show how and why the stability properties of a drainage system with spatially spread-out water storage differ from those where storage is localized in a single reservoir or lake.

Stable Limit Cycles

Abstract Lund set out to define the circumstances under which stable limit-cycle orbits could exist for the linearly unstable motion of a rigid rotor. He also undertook to examine the nature of these stable limit cycles when they are demonstrated to exist. He obviously succeeded in meeting both these objectives; however, Lund’s really remarkable and most useful contributions are covered “incidentally” in the course of developing his nonlinear analytical/computational solutions.

The paper treats the question of end point regulation of multi-link light-weight manipulators using the state dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) method. It is assumed that each link is flexible and deforms when maneuvered. It is well known that end point trajectory control using widely used feedback linearization technique is not possible since the system is nonminimum phase. Furthermore, control saturation is a major problem in controlling nonlinear systems. In this paper, an optimal control problem is formulated for the derivation of control law with and without control constraints on the joint torques and suboptimal control laws are designed using the SDRE method. This design approach is applicable to minimum and as well as nonminimum phase nonlinear systems. For the purpose of control, psuedo joint angles and elastic modes of each link are regulated to their equilibrium values which correspond to the target end point under gravity. Weighting matrices in the quadratic performance index provide flexibility in shaping the psuedo angle and elastic mode trajectories. In the closed-loop system, the equilibrium state is asymptotically stable, and vibration is uppressed. Simulation results are presented for a single link flexible manipulator which shows that in the closed-loop system, end point regulation is accomplished even with hard bounds on the control torque, and that the transient characteristics of the psuedo angles and elastic modes are easily shaped by the choice of the the performance criterion.

Stable Limit Cycles

Using numerical modeling, oscillograms and phase trajectories were constructed to study the limit cycles of a van der Pol Duffing nonlinear oscillatory system with a power memory. The simulation results showed that in the absence of a power memory (α = 2, β = 1) or the classical van der Pol Duffing dynamical system, there is a single stable limit cycle, i.e. Lienar theorem holds. In the case of viscous friction (α = 2, 0 < β < 1), there is a family of stable limit cycles of various shapes. In other cases, the limit cycle is destroyed in two scenarios: a Hopf bifurcation (limit cycle-limit point) or (limit cycle-aperiodic process). Further continuation of the research may be related to the construction of the spectrum of Lyapunov maximal exponents in order to identify chaotic oscillatory regimes for the considered hereditary dynamic system (HDS). В работе с помощью численного моделирования построены осциллограммы и фазовые траектории с целью исследования предельных циклов нелинейной колебательной системы Ван-дер-Поля Дуффинга со степенной памятью. Результаты моделирования показали, что в случае отсутствия степенной памяти (α = 2, β = 1) или классической динамической системы Ван-дер-Поля Дуффинга, существует единственный устойчивый предельный цикл, т.е. выполняется теорема Льенара. В случае вязкого трения (α = 2, 0 < β < 1), существует семейство устойчивых предельных циклов различной формы. В остальных случаях происходит разрушение предельного цикла по двум сценариям: бифуркация Хопфа (предельный цикл-предельная точка) или (предельный циклапериодический процесс). Дальнейшее продолжение исследований может быть связано с построением спектра максимальных показателей Ляпунова с целью идентификации хаотических колебательных режимов для рассматриваемой эредитарной динамической системы (ЭДС).

This paper entails a novel sensitivity-enhancement mechanism for cantilever-based sensors. The enhancement scheme is based on exciting the sensor at the clamped end using a delayed-feedback signal obtained by measuring the tip deflection of the sensor. The gain and delay of the feedback signal are chosen such that the base excitations set the beam into stable limit-cycle oscillations as a result of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation of the trivial fixed points. The amplitude of these limit-cycles is shown to be ultrasensitive to parameter variations and, hence, can be utilized for the detection of minute changes in the resonant frequency of the sensor. The first part of the manuscript delves into the theoretical understanding of the proposed mechanism and the operation concept. Using the method of multiple scales, an approximate analytical solution for the steady-state limit-cycle amplitude near the stability boundaries is obtained. This solution is then utilized to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effect of small frequency variations on the limit-cycle amplitude and the sensitivity of these limit-cycles to different design parameters. Once a deep theoretical understanding is established, the manuscript provides an experimental study to investigate the proposed concept. Experimental results demonstrate orders of magnitude sensitivity enhancement over the traditional frequency-shift method.

Abstract In this paper, two novel adaptive control strategies are presented based on the linear matrix inequality for nonlinear Lipschitz systems. The proposed approaches are developed by creatively using Krasovskii stability theory to compensate parametric uncertainty, unknown time-varying internal delay, and bounded matched or mismatched disturbance effects in closed-loop system of nonlinear systems. The online adaptive tuning controllers are designed such that reference input tracking and asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are guaranteed. A novel structural algorithm is developed based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) and boundaries of the system delay or uncertainty. The capabilities of the proposed tracking and regulation methods are verified by simulation of three physical uncertain nonlinear system with real practical parameters subject to internal or state time delay and disturbance.

Stable Limit Cycles

Nanoscale resonators whose motion is measured through laser interferometry are known to exhibit stable limit cycle motion. Motion of the resonator through the interference field modulates the amount of light absorbed by the resonator and hence the temperature field within it. The resulting coupling of motion and thermal stresses can lead to self oscillation, i.e. a limit cycle. In this work the coexistence of multiple stable limit cycles is demonstrated in an analytic model. Numerical continuation and direct numerical integration are used to study the structure of the solutions to the model. The effect of damping is discussed as well as the properties that would be necessary for physical devices to exhibit this behavior.

A stable direct adaptive CMAC PI controller for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is investigated under the constrain that only the system output is available for measurement. First, a state observer is used to estimate unmeasured states of the systems. Then, the PI control structure is used for improving robustness in the closed-loop system and avoiding affection of uncertainties and external disturbances. The global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed according to the Lyapunov stability criterion. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation results indicate that the proposed approach is capable of achieving a good trajectory following performance without the knowledge of plant parameters.
