The changes in the system dynamics due to a fault are modeled as nonlinear functions of the control input and measured output variables. Both state and sensor faults can be modeled as slowly developing (incipient) or abrupt, with each component of the state/sensor fault vector being represented by a separate time profile. The robust fault diagnosis scheme utilizes online approximators and adaptive nonlinear filtering techniques to obtain estimates of the fault functions. Robustness, fault sensitivity and stability conditions of the learning scheme are rigorously derived.","PeriodicalId":441363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 American Control Conference (Cat.

A hydraulic servomechanism is said to be \"stiff\" if it exhibits acceptable rejection of force disturbances within the control bandwidth. In this paper, an approach to feedback design for robust tracking and robust disturbance rejection is developed via the quantitative feedback theory (QFT) technique. As a result, it is shown that reasonable tracking and disturbance rejection specifications can be met by means of a fixed (i.e., nonadaptive), single loop controller. Robust tracking and robust disturbance rejection specifications are mapped into equivalent bounds on the (parametrically uncertain) sensitivity function; hence, the frequency ranges in which tracking or disturbance rejection specifications dominate become immediately obvious. In this paper, a realistic nonlinear differential equation model of the hydraulic servomechanism is developed, the linear parametric frequency response properties of the open loop system are analyzed, and the aforementioned QFT design procedure is carried out.","PeriodicalId":441363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 American Control Conference (Cat.

An important problem is minimization of the harmful emissions during the transient warm-up phase (where the largest amount of dangerous emissions is concentrated). In this perspective, dynamical TWC models, simple enough for online computation, are required. We present a distributed parameters TWC model suitable for the design and test of warm-up control strategies, obtained by considering an infinite adsorption rate between gas and substrate. The integration algorithm is based partly on a 'method of lines' space-discretization, partly on the 'method of characteristics' for 'quasi linear' hyperbolic PDEs, the separation being allowed by a two time scale analysis of the system. The model has been identified, through a purposely designed genetic algorithm, and validated on experimental data.","PeriodicalId":441363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 American Control Conference (Cat.

It has been shown that by re-defining the control position at a frequency-dependent distance ahead of the vehicle, the yaw dynamics can also be decoupled. In this paper, open-loop experimental tests are conducted at different vehicle speeds to verify the effectiveness of this dynamic look-ahead scheme. A fully equipped Buick LeSabre sedan is utilized as a test platform in this experimental study. Both the vehicle yaw rate and lateral acceleration frequency response data are obtained in the experimental tests by applying frequency sweeping techniques at different vehicle longitudinal velocities. It is shown that a decoupled input-output vehicle dynamics can be obtained by applying the dynamic look-ahead scheme to the open-loop frequency response data.","PeriodicalId":441363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 American Control Conference (Cat.

We develop a Neumann feedback law that guarantees L/sup 2/-global exponential stability and H/sup 2/-global asymptotic stability for small values of the anti-diffusion parameter. The more interesting problem of boundary stabilization when the anti-diffusion parameter is large remains open.
