Abstract This investigation is concerned with robust analysis and control of uncertain nonlinear systems with parametric uncertainties. In contrast to the methodologies from the field of linear parameter varying systems, which employ convex structures of the state space representation in order to perform analysis and design, the proposed approach makes use of a polytopic form of a generalisation of the characteristic polynomial, which proves to outperform former results on the subject. Moreover, the derived conditions have the advantage of being cast as linear matrix inequalities under mild assumptions.

An integrated mathematical model for the dynamics, actuation, and control of an active fluid/elastomeric tuned vibration isolator in a two mass system is presented. The derivation is based on the application of physical principles for mechanics, fluid continuity, and electromagnetic circuits. Improvement of the passive isolator performance is obtained with a feedback scheme consisting of a frequency shaped notch compensator in series with integral control of output acceleration and combined with proportional control of the fluid pressure in the isolator. The control is applied via an electromagnetic actuator for excitation of the fluid in the track connecting the two pressure chambers of the isolator. Closed loop system equations are transformed to a nondimensional state space representation and a key dimensionless parameter for isolator-actuator interaction is defined. A numerical example is presented to show the effect of actuator parameter selection on system damping, the performance improvement of the active over the passive isolator, the robustness of the control scheme to parameter variation, and the electrical power requirements for the actuator.

This paper is concerned with interval state estimation for a class of Linear Parameter-Varying systems with parametric uncertainties. Firstly, sufficient conditions to guarantee both the cooperativity and stability of observation error dynamics are presented in terms of parameterized matrix inequality formulations. Secondly, a novel method for scheduled controller law design is proposed in the framework of interval observer design. Under the assumptions that scheduled parameters have a polytopic structure property, the problems of the existence conditions of observers and scheduled controller design are transformed into finite linear matrix inequalities ones, which can be solved by convex optimization algorithms. The validity of the proposed state estimation methods is illustrated through a simple example.

This study presents an effective approach to stabilizing a continuous-time (CT) nonlinear system using dithers and a discrete-time (DT) fuzzy controller. A CT nonlinear system is first discretized to a DT nonlinear system. Then, a Neural-Network (NN) system is established to approximate a DT nonlinear system. Next, a Linear Difference Inclusion state-space representation is established for the dynamics of the NN system. Subsequently, a Takagi-Sugeno DT fuzzy controller is designed to stabilize this NN system. If the DT fuzzy controller cannot stabilize the NN system, a dither, as an auxiliary of the controller, is simultaneously introduced to stabilize the closed-loop CT nonlinear system by using the Simplex optimization and the linear matrix inequality method. This dither can be injected into the original CT nonlinear system by the proposed injecting procedure, and this NN system is established to approximate this dithered system. When the discretized frequency or sampling frequency of the CT system is sufficiently high, the DT system can maintain the dynamic of the CT system. We can design the sampling frequency, so the trajectory of the DT system and the relaxed CT system can be made as close as desired.

This paper is concerned with the design of a robust L2 gain state derivative feedback controller for an active suspension system. An uncertain quarter vehicle model is used to analyze vehicle suspension performance. Parametric uncertainty is assumed to exist in sprung mass, tire stiffness and suspension damping coefficients. Polytopic type state space representation is used to enable robust controller design via a linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) framework. Then nominal and robust L2 gain state derivative feedback controllers having bounded controller gains and robust L2 gain state feedback controllers are tested against ISO2631 random road disturbances with different road grades and vehicle horizontal velocities. Simulation results show that the proposed robust L2 gain state derivative feedback controller is very effective in improving ride comfort without deterioration on road holding ability.
