This paper deals with transient nonlinear vibration of a rigid body suspended on a foundation by elastic springs and constrained in a plane. In such a three degree-of-freedom vibration isolation system, we assume that ‘2-1-1’ internal resonance exists between the vertical and horizontal vibrations of the rigid body and the rotational vibration about its center of gravity. Our main purpose is to examine theoretically the transient behavior passing through resonance under the condition that the D.C. motor directly drives the unbalanced rotor. Numerical simulation was carried out to clarify effects of rate of increasing V(t) on the peak amplitude of the vibration of the rigid body and on the driving torque of the D.C. motor. Moreover, experiment was conducted with a physical model of a three degree-of-freedom vibration isolation system, and the transient behavior passing through resonance was observed and compared with theoretical results in a typical case with internal resonance.

This paper presents an architecture and control methodology for a multi-degree-of-freedom teleoperator system. The approach incorporates impedance control of the telemanipulator pair and formulates the system as a single feedback loop encompassing the human operator, telemanipulator, and remote environment. In so doing, multivariable Nyquist-like techniques are used to design compensation for enhanced stability robustness and performance. A measure of the transparency exhibited by the multivariable teleoperator system is attained using matrix singular values. The approach is experimentally demonstrated on a three degree-of-freedom scaled telemanipulator pair with a highly coupled environment. Using direct measurement of the power delivered to the operator to assess the system’s stability robustness, along with the proposed measure of multivariable transparency, the loop-shaping compensation is shown to improve the stability robustness by a factor of almost two and the transparency by more than a factor of five.

The paper focuses on the control of vehicular systems along trajectories in the presence of obstacles. We design parameter-dependent controllers which guarantee closed-loop stability and performance of the vehicle’s regulation loop. In addition, the control strategy changes depending on the position of the vehicle in the obstacle environment so that the critical outputs are given the most attention. We also provide a fast and easy-to-implement algorithm for online controller construction. Last, the proposed approach is applied to a three-degree-of-freedom helicopter.

This paper deals with transient nonlinear vibration of a rigid body suspended on a foundation by elastic springs and constrained in a plane. In such a three degree-of-freedom vibration isolation system, we assume that ‘2-1-1’ internal resonance exists between the vertical and horizontal vibrations of the rigid body and the rotational vibration about its center of gravity. Next, the vibration of the rigid body is captured into or passes through resonance when the rotation speed of an unbalanced rotor equipped with the rigid body is increased. We theoretically examined the transient behavior of passage through resonance under the condition that a DC motor directly drives the unbalanced rotor with a limited electric current. Moreover, the experiment was conducted with a physical model of such a system, and transient oscillations through resonance were observed and compared with theoretical results in a few cases of limited currents.
