The control design is based on the mass balance dynamical equations and does require any knowledge of the process kinetics. It results in an adaptive linearizing controller where the specific growth rate is estimated online. Moreover the value of the controlled variable, the ammonian concentration is given by a software sensor via an asymptotic observer based on the online measurement of the optical density.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"8 21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114976341","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}

Flight condition dependent state and control effectiveness variations are accounted for by an inner loop controller designed using eigenstructure assignment. Structured singular value synthesis is used to design an implicit model following outer loop controller that addresses flying qualities performance specifications. A control selector is designed that generates lateral/directional aerodynamic and thrust vectoring commands from generalized control inputs of roll and yaw acceleration. Robustness analysis show that the control system performs well despite neglected dynamics and system uncertainties.

A means of measuring the performance is established, based on which an iterative design procedure is developed. Performance comparison with the standard parity space approach is made with regard to disturbance rejection, failure sensitization, and processing requirement reduction.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129479927","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 manipulator is commanded to approach the stiff environment at a specified velocity, and, once in contact with it, to exert a specified force on it. We present a simple understanding of the three stages of impact control, the pre-contact stage, the impact stage and the post contact stage; we adopt such a basic approach due to the ambiguous nature of results presented in the literature. Besides, in doing so, we take into cognizance the state-of-the art in robotic hardware, which have important implications in any implementation of impact control strategies. The emphasis of the paper is on experimental implementation; a clear cut distinction between what works and what does not. Our results indicate that for very stiff environments, stable impact control may be achieved at low velocities only, and that for a compliant system, there is a trade-off between approach velocity, compliance, sampling time and the bandwidth of the robotic system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132542536","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}
