Convex Method for Localized Control Design in Spatially Invariant Systems

Authors:

Gustavo Ayres, Fernando Paganini,

Volume: 1, Page 3751 Paper number 1761

Abstract:

A method is presented to impose localization in controller design for distributed arrays with underlying spatial invariance. The method applies to problems where the performance objective (e.g., stabilization, H_2 or H-infinity control) can be stated in terms of the search for a suitable Lyapunov matrix over spatial frequency. By restricting this matrix to be constant across frequency, controller localization can be naturally imposed. Thus we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a controller with the desired localization and performance, which take the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) over spatial frequency. For one-dimensional arrays, we further show how to convert these conditions exactly to finite dimensional LMIs by means of the KYP lemma.

Structured Uncertainty Analysis of Robust Stability for Spatially Distributed Systems

Authors:

Dimitry Gorinevsky, Gunter Stein,

Volume: 1, Page 3757 Paper number 2021

Abstract:

This paper considers one of the fundamental issues in design and analysis of sampled multidimensional systems - that of uncertainty modeling and robust stability analysis. This paper extends methods of structured uncertainty analysis (µ-analysis) towards spatially distributed system with dynamical and spatial coordinates. The main contribution with respect to earlier work in this area is in clarification of stability issues for multidimensional systems with noncausal coordinates. Here stability is understood in a broad sense and includes decay (localization) of system response along noncausal spatial coordinates. The presented framework allows to address such practically important issues as robustness of dynamical stability and spatial localization of multidimensional closed-loop feedback system response and boundary effects in a unified way.

Optimal Decentralized Controllers for Spatially Invariant Systems

Authors:

Petros G. Voulgaris, Gianni Bianchini, Bassam Bamieh,

Volume: 1, Page 3763 Paper number 2087

Abstract:

We consider the problem of optimal H_2 design of semi-decentralized controllers for a special class of spatially distributed systems. This class includes spatially invariant and distributed discrete-time systems with an inherent temporal delay in the interaction of neighbouring sites. Such a structure arises naturally from spatio-temporal discretizations of many physical systems described by partial differential equations. We consider the problem of optimal design of distributed controllers that have the same information passing delay structure as the plant. We show how the YJBK parametrization of such stabilizing controllers yields a convex parametrization for this class. We then show how the optimal H_2 problem can be solved exactly.

Exponential Stabilization of Motion and Vibration for a Large Space Structure

Authors:

Fumitoshi Matsuno, Takashi Ohno,

Volume: 1, Page 3774 Paper number 1624

Abstract:

In this papaer, we propose the exponential stabilizing controller of the motion of the rigid mode and the vibration of flexible modes for two flexible beams connected by a spring as a simple example of the large space structures. The flexible beams and the spring can be regarded as an element of the structure with the distributed flexibility and a connective part with lumped flexibility, respectively. As the rigid mode is unstable, the original open-loop flexible system is not exponential stable. We propose a direct sensor output feedback control law for the motion and vibration absorption control. Using the spectral analysis, the exponential stability of the closed-loop system is proven. As we don't need an approximated finite-dimensional model at the controller design phase, the controller based on the original distributed parameter system is robust and simple. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed model and effectiveness of the proposed control law experiments have been carried out.

Modeling Uncertainty Of Large Flexible Structures With Unknown Modal Parameters

Authors:

Jun Imai, Kiyoshi Wada,

Volume: 1, Page 3780 Paper number 2055

Abstract:

A procedure for control-oriented modeling of uncertainty is proposed for large flexible structures. Techniques on quantification of errors in modal truncated nominal models are developed for the case where a finite number of upper and lower bounds of the unknown modal parameters are given. A feasible set of systems matching the conditions is introduced, and then error bounds covering the feasible set are established in the frequency domain. The bounds are easily checked using linear programming for any user-specified frequency. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is illustrated by numerical study on an ideal flexible beam example.

Non-Model-Based Robust Controller Design for Flexible Spacecraft

Authors:

Shuzhi Sam Ge, Tong-Heng Lee, Fan Hong, Cher Hiang Goh,

Volume: 1, Page 3785 Paper number 2032

Abstract:

This paper presents a class of non-model-based position controllers for a kind of flexible spacecraft. A very basic system energy relationship of the flexible spacecraft is involved in the controller design and stability analysis instead of system dynamics themselves. With the controllers, one can achieve not only the closed-loop stability of the original distributed-parameter system, but also the asymptotic stability of the truncated system, which is obtained through representing the deflection of the appendage by an arbitrary finite number of flexible modes. Simulation results carried out on a kind of spacecraft with one flexible appendage justify the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
