Abstract Dynamics of multi-link manipulators are highly nonlinear and depend on the time varying configuration. This paper presents a method of gain scheduling which consists in designing a linear time invariant (LTI) controller for each operating point and in switching controller when the operating conditions change. Each LTI controller is designed based on LMI approach in which an optimization problem is defined as a mixed H2/H∞ control problem with pole placement. The performance of the force and the position controls is defined by the H2 norm, and the robust stability according to gain scheduling is evaluated with the H∞ norm and the pole placement of the closed-loop system. The effectiveness and the practicability of the proposed method are verified by both simulations and experiments with 2-link manipulator system.

Sliding friction between meshing teeth is one of the primary excitations for noise and vibration in geared systems. Yet, there exist very limited studies on this topic. This paper proposes new modeling strategies for incorporating friction in the dynamic analysis of a gear pair. First, some tribological issues are discussed for estimation of the friction forces under different operating conditions. Second, modeling procedures and results are compared for linear time-invariant, linear time-varying and non-linear time-varying formulations. Criteria such as energy balance, system complexity and desired solution methodology are discussed. Finally, sample results from the various analyses along with their benefits and limitations are examined.

This paper considers the design of a generalized hold function to be used for the control of sampled-data systems. The proposed method suggests a continuous controller for sampled data systems. Ultimate boundedness of the proposed method in the presence of bounded measurement errors is also shown for linear and nonlinear systems. In linear time invariant cases, a cost function is suggested for the sake of ultimate bound minimization. In addition, this can answer how we choose a sensor for a real system to get a desired control outcome. Eventually, the effectiveness of the proposed control method is investigated through simulation and experimental implementation.

The guaranteed simultaneous stabilization of two linear time-invariant plants is achieved by continuous-time periodic controller with high controller frequency. Simultaneous stabilization is accomplished by means of pole-placement along with robust zero error tracking to either of two plants. The present work also proposes an efficient design methodology for the same. The periodic controller designed and synthesized for realizable bounded control input with the proposed methodology is always possible to implement with guaranteed simultaneous stabilization for two plants. Simulation and experimental results establish the veracity of the claim.

Forensic analysis in this case involves the design of a communication system intended for use in Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) drive-thru lanes. This paper provides an overview of QSR communication system components and operation and introduces communication systems and channels. This paper provides an overview of non-linear, time-varying system design as contrasted with linear, time-invariant systems and discusses best design practices. It also provides the details of how audio quality was defined and compared for two potentially competing systems. Conclusions include that one of the systems was clearly inferior to the other — mainly due to not following design techniques that were available at the time of the project.

The applicability of a linear systems analysis of two-dimensional swing leg motion was investigated. Two different linear systems were developed. A linear time-varying system was developed by linearizing the nonlinear equations describing swing leg motion about a set of nominal system and control trajectories. Linear time invariant systems were developed by linearizing about three different fixed limb positions. Simulations of swing leg motion were performed with each of these linear systems. These simulations were compared to previously performed nonlinear simulations of two-dimensional swing leg motion and the actual subject motion. Additionally, a linear system analysis was used to gain some insight into the interdependency of the state variables and controls. It was shown that the linear time varying approximation yielded an accurate representation of limb motion for the thigh and shank but with diminished accuracy for the foot. In contrast, all the linear time invariant systems, if used to simulate more than a quarter of the swing phase, yielded generally inaccurate results for thigh shank and foot motion.

Time Invariant

In this paper, linear time-invariant square systems are considered. A procedure to design infinitely many proportional–integral–derivative controllers, all of them assigning closed-loop poles (or closed-loop eigenvalues), at desired locations fixed in the open left half plane of the complex plane is presented. The formulation accommodates partial pole placement features. The state-space realization of the linear system incorporated with a proportional–integral–derivative controller boils down to the generalized eigenvalue problem. The generalized eigenvalue-eigenvector constraint is transformed into a system of underdetermined linear homogenous set of equations whose unknowns include proportional–integral–derivative parameters. Hence, the proportional–integral–derivative solution sets are infinitely many for the chosen closed-loop eigenvalues in the eigenvalue-eigenvector constraint. The solution set is also useful to reduce the tracking errors and improve the performance. Three examples are illustrated.

A variety of systems can be faithfully modeled as linear with coefficients that vary periodically with time or Linear Time-Periodic (LTP). Examples include anisotropic rotorbearing systems, wind turbines, satellite systems, etc… A number of powerful techniques have been presented in the past few decades, so that one might expect to model or control an LTP system with relative ease compared to time varying systems in general. However, few, if any, methods exist for experimentally characterizing LTP systems. This work seeks to produce a set of tools that can be used to characterize LTP systems completely through experiment. While such an approach is commonplace for LTI systems, all current methods for time varying systems require either that the system parameters vary slowly with time or else simply identify a few parameters of a pre-defined model to response data. A previous work presented two methods by which system identification techniques for linear time invariant (LTI) systems could be used to identify a response model for an LTP system from free response data. One of these allows the system’s model order to be determined exactly as if the system were linear time-invariant. This work presents a means whereby the response model identified in the previous work can be used to generate the full state transition matrix and the underlying time varying state matrix from an identified LTP response model and illustrates the entire system-identification process using simulated response data for a Jeffcott rotor in anisotropic bearings.
