Purpose This paper aims to develop a robust controller to control vibration of a thin plate attached with two piezoelectric patches in the presence of uncertainties in the mass of the plate. The main goal of this study is to tackle dynamic perturbation that could lead to modelling error in flexible structures. The controller is designed to suppress first and second modal vibrations. Design/methodology/approach Out of various robust control strategies, μ-synthesis controller design algorithm has been used for active vibration control of a simply supported thin place excited and actuated using two piezoelectric patches. Parametric uncertainty in the system is taken into account so that the robust system will be achieved by maximizing the complex stability radius of the closed-loop system. Effectiveness of the designed controller is validated through robust stability and performance analysis. Findings Results obtained from numerical simulation indicate that implementation of the designed controller can effectively suppress the vibration of the system at the first and second modal frequencies by 98.5 and 88.4 per cent, respectively, despite the presence of structural uncertainties. The designed controller has also shown satisfactory results in terms of robustness and performance. Originality/value Although vibration control in designing any structural system has been an active topic for decades, Ordinary fixed controllers designed based on nominal parameters do not take into account the uncertainties present in and around the system and hence lose their effectiveness when subjected to uncertainties. This paper fulfills an identified need to design a robust control system that accommodates uncertainties.

To suppress airfoil flutter, a lot of control methods have been proposed, such as classical control methods and optimal control methods. However, these methods did not consider the influence of actuator faults and control delay. This paper proposes a new finite-time H∞ adaptive fault-tolerant flutter controller by radial basis function neural network technology and adaptive fault-tolerant control method, taking into account actuator faults, control delay, modeling uncertainties, and external disturbances. The theoretic section of this paper is about airfoil flutter dynamic modeling and adaptive fault-tolerant controller design. Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequality are employed to prove the stability of the proposed control method of this paper. The numeral simulation section further proves the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control algorithm of this paper.

This paper presents an adaptive robust control algorithm for the nonlinear dynamics of robot manipulators with unknown backlash in gears. The basic nonlinear model of a serial manipulator robot is used for the controller design, and this is combined with the nonlinear proposed dead zone model, based on the input and output torque. The main idea of providing this model is to achieve a dynamic model of the system considering the backlash of the robot joint gears, and having less complexity such that the developed controller does not need the inverse backlash model. The adaptive robust controller is developed, without using the inverse backlash model. The proposed controller is designed based on an unknown dead zone parameter and it guarantees the stability and path tracking of the robot trajectory with unknown dead zone parameter in the desired range. Numerical simulations are conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller. Finally, the efficiency and capability of the proposed controller in dealing with the unknown backlash nonlinearities in gears of the manipulator are demonstrated by experimental results with a five-bar manipulator.

A dynamic model of an atmospheric pressure fluidized-bed steam generation system is presented which allows digital simulation and analytical controller design. The nonlinear, time-invariant, deterministic, continuous-time model is derived in state-space form from conservation relations, empirical correlations and system design data. The model has been verified for steady-state and transient performance with measured data from experimental test runs. Transient responses of several process variables, following independent step disturbances in coal feed rate and air flow, are illustrated.
