The technique takes advantage of a robust equivalent feedback linearization using sliding mode theory and then superimposes linear design algorithms in order to shape the loop operator (loop transfer function) of the feedback linearized system. Robustness issues are addressed; when the external disturbances to the system and modeling parameter uncertainties are bounded and satisfy the matching conditions, the nonlinear system can be robustly linearized. The proposed scheme has enough parameters to give flexibility in the choice of the desired closed-loop characteristics. At the same time, it leaves the designer with the responsibility of selecting the following parameters: boundary layer, strength of attraction to the sliding surface, and bandwidth.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115838258","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 dual result defining the gain margin for a multivariable system is derived by examining the positive definite hermitian (PDH) portion of the polar decompositions for nonsingular perturbations. This study focuses on the multivariable gain margin. The main result is an extension of the classical SISO (single input single output) concept for all PDH matrices in the feedback path whose gain is less than the gain margin of the system. Calculation of the gain margin requires solving a constrained optimization problem which is almost a complete dual of the constrained optimization problem solved when calculating the phase margin.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132421937","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 the present work a singular perturbation approach is used to establish the robustness of the controller in the presence of unmodeled dynamics (parasitics) and disturbances. A novel Lyapunov-based technique is developed to analyze the overall system, and it is shown that, for sufficiently small parasitics, the system remains stable and the output error is small in some sense. It is shown that no explicit restriction appears in the derivative of the reference signal, as opposed to certain results found in the literature of adaptive control.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132546675","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 instrument, which uses inductance bridges to sense the position of a magnetically levitated superconducting mass, has very lightly damped resonances and fairly strong cross coupling. By taking advantage of the particular structure of the instrument's transfer function matrix, it is possible to develop a relatively simple controller which achieves the desired decoupling. This controller consists of two parts. The first part cancels the nondiagonal terms of the open-loop transfer function matrix, while the second part is simply a set of SISO (single input, single output) controllers. The stability of the closed-loop system is studied using Rosenbrock's inverse Nyquist array technique which produces a simple set of conditions guaranteeing stability. Simulation of the closed-loop system indicates that it should easily achieve its performance goals.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130203388","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}

These trajectories use sinusoids at integrally related frequencies to achieve motion at a given bracketing level.

A 13th order combustion control system model was developed to study the plant combustion control system behavior in normal operating conditions. The model was developed and validated using actual power plant data. The simulation revealed the need for important modifications in both fuel and air control systems. The modifications, after being tested in the model, were proposed to the plant personnel and some of them have been successfully implemented in the actual plant. A reduced-order SISO linear model was developed for the fuel control system. The linearized model helps tune the fuel control system global controller and runs five times faster than the nonlinear one.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134542240","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}
