Presented approach first involves expending the given plant to obtain a larger dimensional plant such that the overlapping parts of the original plant appear as disjoint. Decentralized controllers are then designed for the expanded system to solve the robust decentralized servomechanism problem. In the final phase these controllers are contracted for implementaion on the original plant. In the present paper the conditions under which there exist solutions to the servo-mechanism problems for the original and the expanded systems are investigated. It is also shown that if a solution is found for the expanded system, a solution for the original system can be obtained by simply contracting the former solution.","PeriodicalId":162700,"journal":{"name":"1993 American Control Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115997893","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 three-impulse sequence developed by Singer & Seering [6] extends the move duration by the period of the vibrational frequency while eliminating residual vibrations at that frequency. In Singer & Seering [6], the input shaping sequence is constrained so that frequencies other than the one being shaped are not excited and actuator limits are not exceeded. By carefully relaxing these constraints, we can generate input shaping sequences with move times shorter than those of the three-impulse sequence while providing comparable vibration reduction and insensitivity to modeling errors. This paper presents five different methods for calculating sequences with relaxed constraints. The first two methods permit the excitation of certain frequencies, but maintain the constraint on actuator limits. Both an analytic method and a method of optimizing using non-linear programming are presented. Third, a method is presented which uses the optimization routines to permit exceeding the steady-state actuator limits while staying within peak actuator limits. Fourth, an alternate constraint which enables greater insensitivity to system frequency variations is discussed. Finally, a method for constraining the excitation of specific higher frequencies is presented. The various techniques are demonstrated on a one-link flexible beam.","PeriodicalId":162700,"journal":{"name":"1993 American Control Conference","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122572133","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 proposed scheme, called Set Theoretic Adaptor Control (STAC), identifies directly the controller parameters that yield desired performance. It eliminates the need for separate identification of plant parameters. Users of STAC Systems can employ weightings to specify closed-loop plant (not the closed-loop model) performance as in the synthesis of H¿ controllers. Provided certain \"persistent excitation\" conditions are satisfied, STAC systems guarantee robust achievement of such performance within finite time. The robustness properties of STAC systems are at least as good as nonadaptive robust controllers designed to handle the worst possible situation. Furthermore, restrictions on conventional direct adaptive control schemes such as knowledge of sign of high frequency gain or upper bound of relative degree and minimum phase requirement are not needed for STAC systems, the only restriction being that within the apriori known parameter set there exist controllers that produce the specified performance.","PeriodicalId":162700,"journal":{"name":"1993 American Control Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129616877","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 order to exploit the two-time-scale nature of the system, separate slow and fast reduced-order observers are constructed using multirate measurements and computation. The underlying approximations, on which the reduced-order observers are based, are introduced here in the form of a Tikhonov-like approximation theorem for systems with piecewise-constant inputs. The paper concludes with a practical application of the theory, namely, velocity regulation of permanent-magnet synchronous motors using only stator current measurements.

Standard weighted H∞ sensitivity measures are used to define the notion of optimality. The method of solution is based on finite-dimensional techniques applied to finite-dimensional approximants of the original plant. The difficulties which arise from such an approach can be attributed to two factors. First, there is the lack of continuity of the performance measures with respect to perturbations in the plant, even with the graph topology. Second, there are many infinite-dimensional plants which cannot be approximated uniformly in the graph topology. It is shown in this paper, for the sensitivity minimization problem, that it is sufficient to obtain approximants of the plant on compact sets, provided that the inner part of the plant's \"numerator coprime factor\" is approximated in some sense. Constructive algorithms are presented. New results on the convergence of actual closed loop transfer functions are also given.","PeriodicalId":162700,"journal":{"name":"1993 American Control Conference","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128331257","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}
