Abstract The modeling of a triaxial shaker system is discussed. The shaker system has eight inputs and six outputs. The models have been implemented in a computer simulation; both the rigid body and flexible body effects have been simulated. Results from the simulation have been compared to test data.

The evolution of large transport aircraft is characterized by longer fuselages and larger wingspans, while efforts to decrease the structural weight reduce the structural stiffness. Both effects lead to more flexible aircraft structures with significant aeroelastic coupling between flight mechanics and structural dynamics, especially at high speed, high altitude cruise. The lesser frequency separation between rigid body and flexible modes of flexible aircraft results in a stronger interaction between the flight control system and its structural modes, with higher flexibility effects on aircraft dynamics. Therefore, the design of a flight control law based on the assumption that the aircraft dynamics are rigid is no longer valid for the flexible aircraft. This paper focuses on the design of a flight control system for flexible aircraft described in terms of a rigid body mode and four flexible body modes and whose parameters are assumed to be varying. In this paper, a conditional integral based sliding mode control (SMC) is used for robust tracking control of the pitch angle of the flexible aircraft. The performance of the proposed nonlinear flight control system has been shown through the numerical simulations of the flexible aircraft. Good transient and steady-state performance of a control system are also ensured without suffering from the drawback of control chattering in SMC.

Cross-coupled controllers have been proposed for improving contouring accuracy of multiaxis machine tools. However, during cross-coupled motion control, increasing contour feedrate may result in larger contour errors. In order to increase feedrate and hence productivity without sacrificing the contouring performance, this paper presents an adapative feedrate control strategy based on a linear perturbed model. The method effectively closes the feedback loop between the contour error and feedrate. An experimental biaxial control system is constructed to implement the proposed strategy. Both computer simulation and experiments have verified that desired contouring accuracy can be achieved.

An assessment is made of a surveillance-radar control system designed to provide a sector-search capability and continuous control of antenna speed without unwanted torque-reaction on the supporting mast. These objectives are attained by utilizing regenerative braking, and control is exercised through Perbury CVTs. A detailed analysis of the system is given. The models derived for the Perbury CVTs supplement the qualitative data contained in earlier papers. Some results from a computer simulation are presented. Although the paper is concerned with a particular problem, the analysis of the CVTs, and the concept of using energy transfer to control large inertial loads, are of more general interest.

A method to synthesize decoupled multivariable control system from a batch of plant test data is introduced. The method is applicable when the system has more inputs than outputs and is open-loop stable. An advantage of this method is that explicit identification of an open-loop system model is not required for controller synthesis.
