The generation of worst-case manoeuvres is formulated as a one-player worst-case evaluation problem. Linear solutions are first solved by using classical optimal control theories. Nonlinear solutions are then obtained numerically. Sensitivity analysis based on the worst-case evaluation method is also performed to identify important variables for vehicle rollovers.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference.

The goals of the control are to (i) coordinate the motions of the two manipulators according to a predefined kinematic scaling, (ii) render the dynamics of a locked system, and its response to forces from the human operator and environment to approximate that of predefined natural dynamics, (iii) to provide for possible scaling of power. In addition, for safety reasons, the closed loop system need to remain passive. For linear dynamically similar systems, dynamics of the system can be block diagonalized into two decoupled mechanical systems: the shape system that deals with the coordination error, and the locked system that describe the average motion of the two manipulators. The passive velocity field control methodology is then applied to the shape system to regulate the coordination error at 0 and at the same time preserves the passivity of the overall system.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference.

For unknown systems, one group of neural networks are trained off-line to estimate the Jacobian matrix, another group are used to approximate the nonlinear terms online.

Chun","doi":"10.1109/ACC.1998.707273","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ACC.1998.707273","url":null,"abstract":"Advanced nonlinear fringe tracking algorithms are used to improve the state-of-the-art in ground-based optical stellar interferometric fringe tracking by allowing the tracking of stars one to two bolometric magnitudes dimmer than currently possible. Even more significantly, the authors demonstrate active fringe locking for dim stars with less than 10% loss of lock probability. Enabling fringe locking through the atmosphere for dim stars has significant implications for ground-based interferometric stellar imaging. These results are a consequence of the powerful estimation framework in which the discrete Bayesian algorithm (DBA) is developed. This framework makes it possible to incorporate all the available nonlinear model and statistical information, including the known statistics of atmospheric variations, into the tracking algorithm and thus results in the highest performing fringe tracker. The authors made use of Zernike polynomial representations in order both to simulate atmospheric variations for algorithm evaluation and comparison, and also to incorporate the atmospheric information into the statistical mechanism of the nonlinear filters developed. All simulations are performed using parameters for the CHARA Array of Georgia State University. The formulation of the DBA for ground-based fringe tracking is presented. The nature of the data structures in the DBA makes it especially well suited to the incorporation of experimental data. A detailed formulation and preliminary evaluation is carried out on the Variation-Invariant Subspace Tracking Algorithm (VISTA). VISTA offers the possibility of making the interferometric measurements invariant to atmospheric disturbances through the optimal projection of many \"sub-aperture interferometers\" onto one invariant subspace. The DBA can fringe lock dim stars with a 50% loss of lock probability where state-of-the-art fringe tracking techniques fail. The use of VISTA in the fringe locking regime resulted in an improvement on the DBA results by up to one bolometric magnitude dimmer stars.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference.

We use center manifold reduction to the three state Moore Greitzer model with piecewise analytic compressor characteristics. For the reduced system, the optimal control which achieves the largest operability enhancement is the \"bang-on\" control law that drives the valve to open against its rate limit. For the optimal controller, we also derive approximate formulas for the operability enhancement as a function of the noise level, the actuator limits, and the shape of compressor characteristics. The predictions by the formulas are compared with numerical simulations using a model for a low speed axial compressor.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference.
