This paper studies the design of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) based mixedH2/H∞state-feedback controller for vibration attenuation problem of seismic-excited container cranes. In order to show effectiveness of the designed controller, a six-degree-of-freedom container crane structural system is modeled using a spring-mass-damper subsystem. The system is then simulated against the real ground motion of El Centro and Northridge earthquakes. Finally, the time history of the crane parts displacements, accelerations, control forces, and frequency responses of both uncontrolled and controlled cases are presented. Additionally, the performance of the designed controller is also compared with a nominal state-feedbackH∞controller performance. Simulations of the designed controller show better seismic performance than a nominal state-feedbackH∞controller. Simulation results show that the designed controller is all effective in reducing vibration amplitudes of crane parts.

This paper proposes a state-feedback controller using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach for the robust position control of a 1-DoF, periodically forced, impact mechanical oscillator subject to asymmetric two-sided rigid end-stops. The periodic forcing input is considered as a persistent external disturbance. The motion of the impacting oscillator is modeled by an impulsive hybrid dynamics. Thus, the control problem of the impact oscillator is recast as a problem of the robust control of such disturbed impulsive hybrid system. To synthesize stability conditions, we introduce the S-procedure and the Finsler lemmas by only considering the region within which the state evolves. We show that the stability conditions are first expressed in terms of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Using some technical lemmas, we convert these BMIs into LMIs. Finally, some numerical results and simulations are given. We show the effectiveness of the designed state-feedback controller in the robust stabilization of the position of the impact mechanical oscillator under the disturbance.

In order to achieve better dynamics performances of a class of automobile active suspensions with the model uncertainties and input delays, this paper proposes a generalized robust linear H2/H∞ state feedback control approach. First, the mathematical model of a half-automobile active suspension is established. In this model, the H∞ norm of body acceleration is determined as the performance index of the designed controller, and the hard constraints of suspension dynamic deflection, tire dynamic load and actuator saturation are selected as the generalized H2 performance output index of the designed controller to satisfy the suspension safety requirements. Second, a generalized H2/H∞ guaranteed cost state-feedback controller is developed in terms of Lyapunov stability theory. In addition, the Cone Complementarity Linearization (CCL) algorithm is employed to convert the generalized H2/H∞ output-feedback control problem into a finite convex optimization problem (COP) in a linear matrix inequality framework. Finally, a numerical simulation case of this half-automobile active suspension is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller in frequency-domain and time-domain.

This paper presents a new strategy for a robust maximum power point (MPP) tracking fuzzy controller for photovoltaic (PV) systems subject to actuator asymmetric saturation. A DC-DC boost converter is used to connect a PV panel with an output load. The output voltage of the DC-DC boost converter can be adjusted by duty ratio that is limited between 0 and 1. The aim of our control design is to track the MPP under atmospheric condition changes and the presence of the asymmetric saturation of the duty ratio. To minimize tracking error and disturbance effect, the dynamic behaviour of a PV system and its reference model are described by using Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models. Then, a constrained control based on a fuzzy PI state feedback controller is proposed. The H∞ control approach is used in control design and stability conditions of the closed-loop system are formulated and solved in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, simulation results are given to show the tracking performance of the control design.

The problems of reachable set estimation and state-feedback controller design are investigated for singular Markovian jump systems with bounded input disturbances. Based on the Lyapunov approach, several new sufficient conditions on state reachable set and output reachable set are derived to ensure the existence of ellipsoids that bound the system states and output, respectively. Moreover, a state-feedback controller is also designed based on the estimated reachable set. The derived sufficient conditions are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness of the proposed results is illustrated by numerical examples.

This paper concerns the problem of output strictly passive control for uncertain singular neutral systems. It introduces a new effective criterion to study the passivity of singular neutral systems. Compared with the previous approach, this criterion has no equality constraints. And the state feedback controller is designed so that the uncertain singular neutral systems are output strictly passive. In terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) and Lyapunov function, the strictly passive criterion is formulated. And the desired passive controller is given. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This work presents a novel robust control design approach for missile longitudinal autopilot under multiple disturbances and uncertainties. The uncertainties and disturbances of the missile dynamics are treated as a lumped disturbance based on the concept of equivalent input disturbance. Then a generalized extended state observer is employed to estimate the system states and the equivalent input disturbance in an integrated manner. These estimates are used to construct the state-feedback controller as well as to attenuate the effect of the exogenous disturbances and endogenous uncertainties. The state-feedback controller is obtained by solving the linear matrix inequalities of mixed [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] control problem, which provides an impressive flexibility to tune the controller to compromise between [Formula: see text] performance and [Formula: see text] performance. Closed-loop stability of the system under the presented controller-observer structure is also established. The proposed design tactfully circumvents the engineering implementation problems encountered by mixed [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] control, achieves strong robustness against disturbances and uncertainties, and does not involve any complicated nonlinear control methodologies. Numerical simulation results of nominal and perturbed performance comparisons with classic methods sufficiently demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of the proposed method.

This paper is concerned with the robust quantized state-feedback controller design problem for a class of continuous-time Markovian jump linear uncertain systems with general uncertain transition rates and input quantization. The uncertainties under consideration emerge in both system parameters and mode transition rates. This new uncertain model is more general than the existing ones and can be applicable to more practical situations because each transition rate can be completely unknown or only its estimate value is known. Based on linear matrix inequalities, the quantized state-feedback controller is formulated to ensure the closed-loop system is stable in mean square. Finally, a numerical example is presented to verify the validity of the developed theoretical results.
