It is shown that under sufficiently small perturbations on the Fréchet derivative of a nonlinear plant as measured by the gap metric, the uniqueness property is preserved if solutions exist given exogenous signals. The results developed relate the uniqueness of solutions for a nominal feedback interconnection and that involving the derivative of the plant. Causality of closed-loop operators is also investigated. It is established that if a certain open-loop mapping has an inverse over signals with arbitrary start time (i.e. zero before some initial time), then the closed-loop operator is causal provided the latter is weakly additive.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121965924","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}

This class of motion, of hyperbolic type, supply a special case of analytically defined rotations that can be further optimised to select a suitable reference motion that minimises accumulated torque and the final orientation error amongst these motions. This analytical approach could be used to improve the overall performance of a spacecraft's attitude dynamics and control system when used alongside current flight tested tracking controllers. The resulting algorithm only involves optimising a small number of parameters of standard functions and is simple to implement.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122111277","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 design of the controller is done by considering the lateral and longitudinal axes of the PTS as an independent single-input single-output (SISO) system. The controller proposed in this paper is able to achieve a bandwidth close to the first resonance frequency of the PTS and the controller is robust against the changes in resonance frequency of the scanner due to the load change on the scanner. The performance of the proposed controller is illustrated by comparing with an integral controller and it is shown that the bandwidth increased by the proposed controller is five times greater than the bandwidth that can be achieved by using the integral controller in a commercial scanner. Experimental images with the open-loop, closed-loop and built-in AFM proportional integral controller are presented at scanning rates of 15.62 Hz, 31.25 Hz, 62.5 Hz, and 125 Hz to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed controller.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129092820","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}

To this end, heat transfer PDE is discretized to create 2D discrete dynamics and eventually this 2D spatiotemporal discrete form is represented in 1D vectorial form. In order to study the effect of discrepancy between original PDE dynamics and their discrete schemes, an uncertainty term is also considered for the obtained discrete dynamics. According to the notion of strong stability and, in addition, using scaling matrices (similarity transformation), a new method for considering the stability of discrete-time systems in the presence of general uncertainty term (matched and unmatched) is developed. It is also shown that the proposed method in this paper can be used for the case with spatial constraints on the actuation.

The input - output data are collected through an experimental study using an AAC system integrated with air duct system experimental rig complete with data acquisition and instrumentation system. The single input single output dynamic model was established by using Autoregressive with exogenous input (ARX) model. Recursive Least Squares and Genetic Algorithms were validated using one step-ahead prediction (OSA), mean squared error (MSE) and correlation tests. The comparison results between these parameter estimation optimization techniques were highlighted. It was found that the estimated models using these two methods proposed are comparable, acceptable and possible to be used as a platform of new controller development and evaluation the performance of AAC system in the future work.
