One, called the \"bristle model,\" is an approximation designed to capture the physical phenomenon of sticking. This model is relatively inefficent numerically. The other model, called the \"reset integrator model,\" does not capture the details of the sticking phenomenon, but is numerically efficient and exhibits behavior similar to the model proposed by Karnopp in 1985. All three of these models are preferable to the classical model which poorly represents the friction force at zero velocity. Simulation experiments show that the new models and the Karnopp model give similar results in two examples. In a closed-loop example, the classical model predicts a limit cycle which is not observed in the laboratory. The new models and the Karnopp model, on the other hand, agree with the experimental observation.","PeriodicalId":307181,"journal":{"name":"1990 American Control Conference","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117290569","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 proposed method of non-linear supervisory constraint control is applied to a liquid metal cooled reactor (LMR) module for evaluation.

A reactor plant model, implemented on a personal computer, is used for controller evaluation. The multi-modular control problem, and proposed supervisory constraint control structure are discussed.

It is assumed that the plant as well as the feedback controller are finite-dimensional and linear time-invariant, and that the plants state is available for feedback. More specifically, among all the state-feedback controllers that minimize the H2-norm of a closed loop transfer matrix, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a controller that also satisfies a prescribed H∞-norm bound on some other closed loop transfer matrix. When these conditions are satisfied, the solution to the above problem is also a global solution to the constrained optimization problem of minimizing an H2-norm performance measure subject to an H∞-norm constraint. We also give state-space formulae for computing the solutions. An example is given in which all solutions to the constrained optimization problem are necessarily dynamic, i.e, there is no static gain solution even though plant state is available for feedback. A conclusion of this work is that a priori assumptions on the structure of the solutions to mixed H2/H∞ problems could turn out to be conserative.","PeriodicalId":307181,"journal":{"name":"1990 American Control Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125834057","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}
