The anuerse i ioii lmear coniroller usang neural iteiworks described there was shown to be capable of providing excellent closed-loop control for several classes of servomechanisms with fairly severe nonlinearities. The work in [4] also included experimental results for real-time control of a pilot-scale nonlinear position control system. However, the technique requires an accurate approximation to be provided by the neural network realisation of the nonlinear open-loop system. This typically requires a large number of hidden nodes for real-life syateiiis (refer to real-time experimental results in [4]), with the attendaiit disaclvantage that large training data frames and long training times are required. A further drawback of the controller of [4] is that it does not provide a built-in capability to adapt to changes in the system to be controlled.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The primary design and mechanization tool is Integrated Systems Inc. software MATRIXx, utilizing the Robust Control Module, and implementation using the AC-100 Rapid Prototyping System. In addition, alternative robust control algorithms are developed using both the Rockwell Science Center developed Rho-Synthesis and The Mathworks Robust Control Toolbox with MATLAB. The design requires precision platform alignment to the gyro inertial reference with tracking errors less than one arcsecond in the presence of torque disturbances and sensor noise. Performance and stability robustness are required in the design to counteract large parameter variations that may occur in the actuator or in the the gimbal bearing friction. Figure 1 shows the stable platform (innermost gimbal) with the additional outer gimbals required for alignment about all three stable platform fixed axes. At present the development is focused upon implementing the prototyping hardware and controller for a single platform axis. The control designs presented here are H and Hinf robust control algorithms for Single Input Single Output (SIS0) control about the platform +z axis.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

The procedure extracts estimates of muzzle velocity, meteorological data, and alignment errors from track data collected on projectiles fired by the gun. These estimates are then used in fire control processing to compute a solution of increased accuracy relative to conventional methods. The key feature of this procedure, which has been implemented in Arleigh Burke Class AEGIS destroyers, is a Finite Difference Gauss-Newton technique.

We propose a method to find the optimal layout design of the smart material so as to maximize the damping effect. An objective functional is defined based on the vibration energy of the system. The optimal shapes of the sensor and actuator are determined through minimizing the energy functional of the beam over the admissible shape function space subject to certain geometric constraints. An algorithm has been developed to determine the optimal sensor and actuator layout. This method can be generalized to the plate damping problem and more complicated structures as well.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Owing to the rapid acceleration during the missile launch phase, the effect of misalignment is magnified, significantly contributing to the miss distance. A high precision transfer alignment is thus required to reduce the initial navigation error. The estimation of the initial misalignment with transfer alignment technique has to act against various error sources involved in the velocity and/or attitude differences. On the other hand, due to limitations in complexity and computation, only linear models of first order approximation are used in transfer alignment filter design. Therefore, it is indispensable to evaluate a transfer alignment filter design not only with a linear model-based covariance analysis but also with a nonlinear Monte Carlo simulation. This paper presents in detail such a transfer alignment design and evaluation environment.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
