A new suboptimal control method is proposed in this study to effectively design an integrated guidance and control system for missiles. Optimal formulations allow designers to bring together concerns about guidance law performance and autopilot responses under one unified framework. They lead to a natural integration of these different functions. By modifying the appropriate cost functions, differ... View full abstract»

We consider harmonic steady-state (HSS) control for active noise and vibration rejection when the system dynamics are unknown. After a brief review and analysis of the HSS control theory, we develop an adaptive control algorithm based on a recursive least squares algorithm that estimates the system dynamics. Active noise cancellation in an acoustic drum is demonstrated using the adaptive control a... View full abstract»

Decreasing the minimum feature size of solid free-form (SFF) fabrication techniques requires advancements in both the SFF process and the actuating hardware. Microscale robotic deposition (mu-RD) is an ink-deposition SFF process where recent advances in ink design coupled with a high-precision motion system can lead to the fabrication of parts with microscale-sized features. This paper presents a ... View full abstract»

The problem considered in this paper is the design and analysis of a control strategy, for semi-active suspensions in road vehicles, based on model-predictive control (MPC) techniques. The optimal control law we compute using predictive techniques, aims to optimize the suspension performances by minimizing a quadratic cost function, while ensuring that the magnitude of the forces generated by the ...

The problem of oxygen starvation in fuel cells coupled with air compressor saturation limits, is addressed in this paper. We propose using a hybrid configuration, in which a bank of ultracapacitors supplements the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell during fast current transients. Our objective is to avoid fuel cell oxygen starvation, prevent air compressor surge and choke, and simultaneously m... View full abstract»

• ### Construction and Experimental Implementation of a Model-Based Inverse Filter to Attenuate Hysteresis in Ferroelectric Transducers

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):1058 - 1069
Cited by:  Papers (22)
| | PDF (782 KB) | HTML

Hysteresis and constitutive nonlinearities are inherent properties of ferroelectric transducer materials due to the noncentrosymmetric nature of the compounds. In certain regimes, these effects can be mitigated through restricted input fields, charge- or current-controlled amplifiers, or feedback designs. For general operating conditions, however, these properties must be accommodated in models, t... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):1070 - 1077
Cited by:  Papers (28)
| | PDF (561 KB) | HTML

A traditional input-shaping technique is adapted to control transfer maneuvers on quay-side container cranes. The controller is developed using an accurate two-dimensional four-bar-mechanism model of a container crane and accounts for maneuvers that involve large hoisting operations. A graphical representation of the phase plane of the payload oscillations is used to derive mathematical constraint... View full abstract»

• ### Hybrid System State Tracking and Fault Detection Using Particle Filters

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):1078 - 1087
Cited by:  Papers (39)
| | PDF (501 KB) | HTML

When particle filters are used for fault detection, they have the problem of sample impoverishment, which means there are not enough particles that can transition to a rare-occurring faulty mode. The consequence is that the fault cannot be properly detected. This paper proposes a method to overcome this problem. Essentially, we develop an algorithm for tracking the states of hybrid systems where f... View full abstract»

This paper deals with the problem of flight tracking control against actuator faults using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) method and adaptive method. An adaptive fault-tolerant flight controller design method is developed based on the online estimation of an eventual fault and the addition of a new control law to the normal control law in order to reduce the fault effect on the system without ...

| | PDF (616 KB) | HTML

The current mu-synthesis tools are not directly suitable for industrial turbine fuel and water control because they lead to high-order controllers with physically meaningless states. The production valve example here is the Woodward GS6 Turbine Gas Metering Valve that has a single-phase permanent magnet motor coupled by a shaft to an inertia disc and a gas metering shoe with a high level of dry (n...

In this brief, a simple control approach is proposed for the multichain systems based on a switching algorithm of two sets of steering laws. Global exponential convergence to any prescribed norm bound (epsi-convergence) is guaranteed and the convergence rate is explicitly given. This approach has a distinctive feature that one of the inputs (driving input) is free. This feature plays a key role in... View full abstract»

The welding process is typically uncertain and its dynamics may vary with welding conditions. To control this process, robust algorithms such as the interval model control proposed by Zhang and Kovacevic (1997) are needed. To improve the response speed and system performance, the authors developed an adaptive interval model control system for keyhole plasma arc welding process in this study. The d...

In this brief, we address adaptive fuzzy control of the inverted-pendulum on a cart problem as an underactuated mechanical system. Many of the schemes presented in the adaptive fuzzy control literature tackle the problem as a second-order system based on feedback linearization. Such schemes render unstable zero dynamics for the cart-pole systems which hinders experimental implementation. The parad... View full abstract»

The goal of this brief is to provide a solution to the optimal design problem of decoupled multivariable Smith Predictor for general linear stable plants with multiple time delays. The design procedure is divided into three steps. In the first step, a nonsquare plant is factored into the "delay free" part and delay part, and the "delay free" part is further factored into minimum phase part and non... View full abstract»

This brief addresses the problem of controlling the planar position and orientation of an autonomous underactuated surface vessel. Under realistic assumptions, we show, first, that there exists a natural change of coordinates that transforms the whole dynamical system into a cascade nonlinear system, and, second, the control problem of the resulting system can be reduced to the stabilization of a ...

We consider the fault detection and isolation (FDI) problem for a nonlinear dynamic plant (the IFATIS Heating System Benchmark) affected by actuator and/or sensor faults. A general procedure is proposed for modeling faults of sensors that measure the state of a nonlinear system, so that each sensor fault is typically associated to a set of (always concurrent) fault inputs and the resulting dynamic...
