Analysis Of Stability

Background and Introduction: The proposed control law is designed to provide fast reference tracking with minimal overshoot and to minimize the effect of unknown nonlinearities and external disturbances. Methods: In this work, an enhanced composite nonlinear feedback technique using adaptive control is developed for a nonlinear delayed system subjected to input saturation and exogenous disturbances. It ensures that the plant response is not affected by adverse effect of actuator saturation, unknown time delay and unknown nonlinearities/ disturbances. The analysis of stability is done by Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional that guarantees asymptotical stability. Results: The proposed control law is validated by its implementation on exothermic chemical reactor. MATLAB figures are provided to compare the results. Conclusion: The simulation results of the proposed controller are compared with the conventional composite nonlinear feedback control which illustrates the efficiency of the proposed controller.

Singular Linear Systems

The semi-global output regulation problem of multi-variable discrete-time singular linear systems with input saturation is investigated in this paper. A composite nonlinear feedback control law is constructed by using a low gain feedback technique for semi-global stabilisation of discrete-time singular linear systems with input saturation. The sufficient solvability conditions of the semi-global output regulation problem by composite nonlinear feedback control are established. When the composite nonlinear feedback control law is reduced to a linear control law, the solvability conditions are an exact discrete-time counterpart of the semi-global output regulation problem of continuous-time singular linear systems. With the extra control freedom of the nonlinear part in the composite nonlinear feedback control law, the transient performance of the closed-loop system can be improved by carefully choosing the linear feedback gain and the nonlinear feedback gain. The design procedure of the composite nonlinear feedback control law and the improvement of the transient performance are illustrated by a numerical example.

Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer

An optimal composite nonlinear feedback control method with integral sliding mode is presented in this paper. The controller extends the travel range of the micro-electromechanical system capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT). Moreover, enhanced transient response and precise tracking performance is achieved. It is known that CMUT is inherently unstable which results in pull-in phenomenon and it is very sensitive to small perturbations, so one of the major problems is to stabilize the CMUT beyond the pull-in limit with the external disturbances. In addition, the input saturation problem is significant to CMUT. Based on that, a robust control scheme is derived using composite nonlinear feedback control law combined with integral sliding mode control law. Then all the tuning parameters for the proposed control method are converted into a minimization problem and solved by particle swarm optimization algorithm automatically. We verified the effectiveness through extending the travel range of the CMUT gap by three control methods which are proportional integral derivative, composite nonlinear feedback and the method we proposed. The stability and small range tracking performance with three control methods is compared on the pull-in position of CMUT. The simulations show that the proposed control method has desired tracking performance and robustness to external disturbance with input saturation.

Robust Observer

In this study, a novel robust observer-based adaptive controller was formulated for systems represented by second-order input–output dynamics with unknown second state, and it was applied to concentration tracking in a chemical reactor. By using dead-zone Lyapunov functions and adaptive backstepping method, an improved control law was derived, exhibiting faster response to changes in the output tracking error while avoiding input chattering and providing robustness to uncertain model terms. Moreover, a state observer was formulated for estimating the unknown state. The main contributions with respect to closely related designs are (i) the control law, the update law and the observer equations involve no discontinuous signals; (ii) it is guaranteed that the developed controller leads to the convergence of the tracking error to a compact set whose width is user-defined, and it does not depend on upper bounds of model terms, state variables or disturbances; and (iii) the control law exhibits a fast response to changes in the tracking error, whereas the control effort can be reduced through the controller parameters. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed controller is illustrated by the simulation of concentration tracking in a stirred chemical reactor.

In this paper, Composite Nonlinear Feedback (CNF) is applied on Active Front Steering (AFS) system for vehicle yaw stability control in order to have an excellent transient response performance. The control method, which has linear and nonlinear parts that work concurrently capable to track reference signal very fast with minimum overshoot, fast settling time, and without exceed nature of actuator saturation limit. Beside, modelling of 7 degree of freedom for typical passenger car with magic formula to represent tyre nonlinearity behaviour is also presented to simulate controlled vehicle as close as possible with a real situation. An extensive computer simulation is performed with considering a various profile of cornering manoeuvres with external disturbance to evaluate its performance in different scenarios. The performance of the proposed controller is compared to conventional Proportional Integration and Derivative (PID) for effectiveness analysis.

In this paper, we present a first attempt at using an energy based control technique to regulate the oscillations of a flexible joint, flexible arm device, through computer simulation. This technique takes advantage of the Internal Resonance (IR) phenomenon. The plant is governed by two coupled linear differential equations. The control scheme is implemented by introducing two software based controllers which are coupled dynamically with the plant through a nonlinear feedback control law. At Internal Resonance, the nonlinear coupling generates an energy link between the plant and the controllers. Thus, energy is transferred from the plant to the controllers where two active damping mechanisms subsequently dissipate it. Here the response of the structure is regulated with a single input torque applied to one plant coordinate. The theoretical analysis is based on the two-variable expansion perturbation method. Thereafter, the analytical findings are verified numerically. Simulation results indicate that the IR control strategy is able to effectively quench the oscillations of the plant.
