Abstract An investigation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes associated with sealed conical bores having actuating boundary conditions is presented. Beginning with the one dimensional wave equation for spherically expanding waves, modal characteristics are developed as functions of cone geometry and actuator parameters. This paper presents both analytical and experimental comparisons for the purpose of validating model and development techniques. An investigation of the orthogonality and adjointness of the solution is presented. A discussion of incorporating driving forces in the system model for the purpose of coupling control actuators with internal acoustics is also included. Including these driving forces, a state space model of the system is developed for the purpose of applying modern feedback control. This paper concludes with a study on applying Linear Quadratic Regulator techniques to this system, relating tradeoffs between spatially averaged pressure and control voltages. The results of our simulations indicate that pressure reductions of 30% are attainable with average control voltages of 14.4 volts, given an example geometry.

<p class="1Body">This paper presents mathematical modelling and control of a two-wheeled single-seat vehicle. The design of the vehicle is inspired by the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility (PUMA) vehicle developed by General Motors® in collaboration with Segway®. The body of the vehicle is designed to have two main parts. The vehicle is activated using three motors; a linear motor to activate the upper part in a sliding mode and two DC motors activating the vehicle while moving forward/backward and/or manoeuvring. Two stages proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control schemes are designed and implemented on the system models. The state space model of the vehicle is derived from the linearized equations. Controller based on the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and the pole placement techniques are developed and implemented. Further investigation of the robustness of the developed LQR and the pole placement techniques is emphasized through various experiments using an applied impact load on the vehicle.</p>

This paper contains two contributions. First it is shown, in a simulation study using the IAWQ model, that a linear multivariable time-invariant state-space model can be used to predict the ammonium and nitrate concentration in the last aerated zone in a pre-denitrifying activated sludge process. Secondly, using the estimated linear model, a multivariable linear quadratic (LQ) controller is designed and used to control the ammonium and nitrate concentration.

And Control

In this paper, Linear Quadratic (LQ) optimal control concepts are applied for the active control of vibrations in helicopters. The study is based on an identified dynamic model of the rotor. The vibration effect is captured by suitably augmenting the state vector of the rotor model. Then, Kalman filtering concepts can be used to obtain a real-time estimate of the vibration, which is then fed back to form a suitable compensation signal. This design rationale is derived here starting from a rigorous problem position in an optimal control context. Among other things, this calls for a suitable definition of the performance index, of nonstandard type. The application of these ideas to a test helicopter, by means of computer simulations, shows good performances both in terms of disturbance rejection effectiveness and control effort limitation. The performance of the obtained controller is compared with the one achievable by the so called Higher Harmonic Control (HHC) approach, well known within the helicopter community.

Abstract This paper presents a systematic methodology for the design of process parameters for nonisothermal forgings. The finite element approach is used for deformation and thermal analyses, and an optimal control strategy is used for the process parameter design. A state-space model is developed for representing the coupled deformation and thermal behavior using rigid viscoplastic formulation. Design constraints on strain-rates and temperature variation are imposed for achieving the desired forging conditions. The linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory for finite time control is used in designing the ram velocity and initial die temperature. The approach is demonstrated on an axisymmetric disc forging and a plane strain channel section forging, under nonisothermal conditions.

<span>This research aims to propose an optimal controller for controlling the speed of the Direct Current (DC) motor. Based on the mathematical equations of DC Motor, the author builds the equations of the state space model and builds the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller to minimize the error between the set speed and the response speed of DC motor. The results of the proposed controller are compared with the traditional controllers as the PID, the feed-forward controller. The simulation results show that the quality of the control system in the case of LQR controller is much higher than the traditional controllers. The response speed always follows the set speed with the short conversion time, there isn't overshoot. The response speed is almost unaffected when the torque impact on the shaft is changed.</span>

In this paper, a controller learns to adaptively control an active suspension system using reinforcement learning without prior knowledge of the environment. The Temporal Difference (TD) advantage actor critic algorithm is used with the appropriate reward function. The actor produces the actions, and the critic criticizes the actions taken based on the new state of the system. During the training process, a simple and uniform road profile is used while maintaining constant system parameters. The controller is tested using two road profiles: the first one is similar to the one used during the training, while the other one is bumpy with an extended range. The performance of the controller is compared with the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and optimum Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), and the adaptiveness is tested by estimating some of the system’s parameters using the Recursive Least Squares method (RLS). The results show that the controller outperforms the LQR in terms of the lower overshoot and the PID in terms of reducing the acceleration.

With the purpose of overcoming the defect that unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are easily disturbed by air current and tend to be unstable, an augmented-stability controller was developed for a certain UAV’s longitudinal motion. According to requirements of short-period damping ratio and control anticipation parameter (CAP) in flight quality specifications of GJB185-86 and C*, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory was used in the augmented-stability controller’s design. The simulation results show that the augmented-stability controller not only improves the UAV’s stability and dynamic characteristics but also enhances the UAV’s robustness.

Displaced solar orbits for spacecraft propelled by electric sails are investigated. Since the propulsive thrust is induced by the sail attitude, the orbital and attitude dynamics of electric-sail-based spacecraft are coupled and required to be investigated together. However, the coupled dynamics and control of electric sails have not been discussed in most published literatures. In this paper, the equilibrium point of the coupled dynamical system in displaced orbit is obtained, and its stability is analyzed through a linearization. The results of stability analysis show that only some of the orbits are marginally stable. For unstable displaced orbits, linear quadratic regulator is employed to control the coupled attitude-orbit system. Numerical simulations show that the proposed strategy can control the coupled system and a small torque can stabilize both the attitude and orbit. In order to generate the control force and torque, the voltage distribution problem is studied in an optimal framework. The numerical results show that the control force and torque of electric sail can be realized by adjusting the voltage distribution of charged tethers.
