Stabilization Control

A new stabilization control method for underactuated linear mechanical systems is presented in this paper. By proper setting the desired closed-loop system, the matching condition for controller design is reduced to one equation and an adjustable parameter (damping coefficient) is introduced to the controller. Stability of the closed-loop system is proved based on passivity. As an application example, stabilization control of 2-DOF Pendubot is studied. The system is linearized at its equilibrium point and the proposed controller design method is applied to the linearized system. The procedure of solving matching condition and design controller for the Pendubot is provided. The simulation results verify feasibility of the proposed method.

Passivity-based tracking control of the underactuated linear mechanical systems is investigated in this paper. As our main contribution, the matching condition is decreased into two equations and an adjustable gain (damping gain) is introduced into the controller by setting the desired closed-loop system properly. Stability of the closed-loop system is proved based on passivity of the system. Furthermore, as examples, tracking control of 2-DOF Acrobot and 2-DOF Pendubot are studied. The systems are linearized at their equilibriums and the passivity-based controller design method is applied to the linearized systems. Matching conditions are solved and the design procedures of associate controllers for the two robots are provided. The simulation results show that the designed controllers can realize asymptotical tracking for the given desired trajectories.

Loop Shaping

In this paper, a loop shaping controller design methodology for single input and a single output (SISO) system is proposed. The theoretical background for this approach is based on complex elliptic functions which allow a flexible design of a SISO controller considering that elliptic functions have a double periodicity. The gain and phase margins of the closed-loop system can be selected appropriately with this new loop shaping design procedure. The loop shaping design methodology consists of implementing suitable filters to obtain a desired frequency response of the closed-loop system by selecting appropriate poles and zeros by the Abel theorem that are fundamental in the theory of the elliptic functions. The elliptic function properties are implemented to facilitate the loop shaping controller design along with their fundamental background and contributions from the complex analysis that are very useful in the automatic control field. Finally, apart from the filter design, a PID controller loop shaping synthesis is proposed implementing a similar design procedure as the first part of this study.

This paper studies the containment control problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) with actuator faults (AFs) and external disturbance under switching communication topologies. To address this problem, a new fuzzy fault-tolerant containment control method is developed via utilizing adaptive mechanisms. Furthermore, a sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee the stability of the considered closed-loop system by the dwell time technique combined with Lyapunov stability theory. Unlike the traditional method to estimate the weight matrix, the fuzzy logic system is used to estimate the norm of weight vectors. Thus, the difficulty that the unknown nonlinear function cannot be compensated for when the actuator produces outage or stuck fault is solved. Compared with the existing controllers for nonlinear MASs, the proposed controller is more suitable for the considered problem under the influence of AFs that are detrimental to the operation of each agent system. Besides which, the closed-loop system is proven to be stable by using the developed controller, and all followers converge asymptotically to the convex hull formed by the leaders. Finally, an example based on a reduced-order aircraft model is presented to verify the effectiveness of the designed control scheme.

A novel concept of feedback loop design for modal test and model updating is proposed. This method uses the closed-loop frequency information for parameter modifications to overcome the problems associated with the conventional methods employing the modal sensitivity matrix. To obtain new modal information from the closed-loop system, controllers should be effective in changing modal data while guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop system. The present paper proposes a mode-decoupling controller that can alter a target mode while guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop, and that can be constructed by using the measured open-loop, mode shapes. A simulation based on time domain input/output data is performed to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed control method, which is subsequently corroborated via experiments. Experimental data obtained on a beam via the proposed mode-decoupling controller have been applied to estimate thicknesses of a beam. The results show that the proposed approach outperforms conventional methods with a far less number of data set for the estimation of system parameters.

Control Saturation

This paper examines the performance enhancement of a statically unstable aircraft subject to the input and state constraints. Under control saturation, i/o linearizability is destroyed and the state trajectories may not be attracted to the sliding surface. If the reference signals are sufficiently large and the zero-dynamics is lightly damped, the i/o linearizing control may become unreasonably large in magnitude, making the closed-loop system susceptible to the damaging effects of control saturation. In addition to performance degradations such as increased tracking errors, control saturation can drive the closed-loop system to instability. In this paper, a new design method called approximate i/o linearization is presented to enhance the performance of the SISO longitudinal flight control problem under saturation. The new approximate i/o linearization law is obtained by solving a pointwise minimization problem. The function to be minimized consists of a surface whose relative degree is one, its derivative, and weighted square of the input u. The advantages of the approximate i/o linearization is that the adverse effects of control saturation can be minimized by properly selecting the weight on the usage of the control. The only requirement for the new technique is that the original plant be locally i/o linearizable. Thus approximate i/o linearization does not impose additional strict requirements on the plant. In the remaining sections of the paper, stability and bounded tracking properties of the approximate i/o linearization are proven. Finally, a longitudinal flight control problem is used to demonstrate the application of approximate i/o linearization.

Abstract In this paper we develop a framework for the redesign of computer-controlled, closed-loop, mechanical systems for improved dynamic performance. A central notion which underlies the redesign framework is that, in order to achieve the best possible performance from a constrained closed-loop system, the plant and controller should be designed simultaneously. The framework is presented as the formulation and solution of a progression of optimization problems which enable the designer to systematically establish the various redesign possibilities. An example clearly demonstrates the underlying ideas as well as the use of the redesign framework for performance improvement.

Vibration Attenuation

The problems of vibration-attenuation controller design for uncertain mechanical systems with time-varying input delay are of concern in this paper. Firstly, based on matrix transformation, the mechanical system is described as a state-space model. Then, in terms of introducing the linear varying parameters, the uncertain system model is established. Secondly, the LMI-based sufficient conditions for the system to be stabilizable are deduced by utilizing the LMI technique. By solving the obtained LMIs, the controllers are achieved for the closed-loop system to be stable with a prescribed level of disturbance attenuation. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed theorems.

Nonholonomic wheeled mobile service robot’s posture error model denoted by polar coordinates in global coordinates is established .Based on the inherent discontinuousness of the closed-loop system model, a novel nonlinear state feedback stabilization control law is proposed，which causes closed-loop system state space equation of robot to have isolated equilibrium state at origin. By Lyapunov candidate function method，this paper concludes that the closed-loop system is global uniformly asymptotically stable at origin. Simulation results indicate that the proposed control law is effective.
