In this paper the idle speed and cruise control problems will be treated as one: accurately tracking of a desired engine speed in the presence of model uncertainties and severe load disturbances. This is accomplished by using advanced nonlinear control techniques such as input/output-linearization and sliding mode control. These techniques take advantage of a nonlinear model of the engine dynamics, a mean value engine model.","PeriodicalId":147838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 American Control Conference - ACC '94","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129862428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these cases, the control task involves the explicit determination of the optimal behavior and the control action to achieve that behavior. The difficulty with this problem is that it involves a conflict between identification and optimisation on the one hand, and control on the other. In this paper, we study this problem in the context of the intelligent exercise machine application. We propose two related excitation supervisors which switch between an excitation phase and a control phase, based on an internally generated optimality error signal.","PeriodicalId":147838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 American Control Conference - ACC '94","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114285174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The controller has a rule-based structure with inner loops where no shared-resource conflict resolution is required, and extra control inputs in an outer loop to resolve conflict and remove deadlock (where needed). The controller design is based on the required task sequence and the available resources; it is described by linear (i.e. matrix) and nonlinear logical equations. The controller-workcell interaction expressed both in qualitative and quantitative terms supports a rigorous analysis of conflicts and deadlock. Three methods for conflict and deadlock resolution related to current work are efficiently incorporated in the general design framework. The design algorithm naturally accommodates a performance analysis in terms of the (R,max,+) representation as a consequence of the link established between that approach and the rule-based controller equations. Compatibility with other analysis/design techniques is briefly addressed.","PeriodicalId":147838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 American Control Conference - ACC '94","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123866147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A nonlinear control method is used in an attempt to provide classical \"sky-hook\" damping. Experimental and simulation results obtained with the use of a standard hydraulic actuator are presented. The use of the actuator results in significant overall improvement in ride quality with an acceleration reduction of as much as 50% compared to an ordinary passive shock absorber at the sprung mass natural frequency. The suspension deflection performance is also improved but the tire deflection performance is somewhat worse than the passive at frequencies close to the unsprung mass natural frequency. This is because the active controller fails to track the \"sky-hook\" damping force accurately at high frequencies. The cause of this failure is investigated. A theoretical analysis of the actuator dynamics are made and changes in actuator parameters for this specific application are suggested.","PeriodicalId":147838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 American Control Conference - ACC '94","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128723125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors' investigation not only uses expert systems for control system design but also proposes a practical way to use a unique set of fuzzy evaluation rules to suggest a better design method for a given plant. A set of fuzzy evaluation rules extracted from four classical design procedures is proposed. It focuses on how to predict the results of design methods. The authors deem the fuzzy evaluation rules are predicting tools of an expert system. It is also shown in this paper that the set of fuzzy evaluation rules has been successfully integrated with ESCSD.
