LMI Based Multi-Objective H-Infinity Control Of Flexible Microsatellites

Authors:

Christelle Pittet, Jean Mignot, Christine Fallet,

Volume: 1, Page 4000 Paper number 25

Abstract:

In this paper, an applicative example of multi-objective control based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) is presented. H infinity optimization is used to synthesize a dynamic output feedback controller for a microsatellite subject to disturbances, important sensor time delay, actuator saturation and flexible modes. The reduced controller is compared with classical phase lead controller and finally validated with the complete nonlinear satellite model.

A Learning Variable Structure Controller of a Flexible One-Link Manipulator

Authors:

Wen-Jun Cao, Jian-Xin Xu,

Volume: 1, Page 4006 Paper number 1364

Abstract:

In this paper, tip regulation of a flexible one-link manipulator by Learning Variable Structure Control (LVSC) is investigated. Sliding surface is designed according to a selected reference model which relocates system poles to be negative real ones, hence link vibration is eliminated. The proposed LVSC incorporates a learning mechanism to improve regulation accuracy. Rigorous proof shows: the state's tracking error sequence converges uniformly to zero; the uniformly bounded learning control sequence converges to the equivalent control almost everywhere. A more detailed journal version of this paper is presented in [1].

Model Set Identification and Seismic Response Control of Flexible Structure

Authors:

Hiroaki Fukushima, Yue Wu, Toshiharu Sugie, Gi-Hwan Bae, Yoshiyuki Suzuki,

Volume: 1, Page 4012 Paper number 1953

Abstract:

In this paper, we perform the seismic control experiment of a flexible structure in order to investigate applicability of the model set identification methods to robust controller design. From the viewpoint of application to robust control, we identify model sets based on nominal models represented by rational transfer functions, in contrary to most existing methods based on affinely parameterized functions which tend to be high order functions. Also, we derive a less conservative error bound which takes account of low correlation properties of input signals. Based on the model set identification method and the (cal) H_(infinity) controller design method based on LMI, we show that a closed-loop system which satisfies given design specifications is obtained systematically.

Optimal Resistive Elements for Multiple Mode Shunt Damping of a Piezoelectric Laminate Beam

Authors:

Sam Behrens, S. O. Reza Moheimani,

Volume: 1, Page 4018 Paper number 1551

Abstract:

In this paper a methodology that addresses the problem of choosing optimal resistive elements for multiple mode shunt damping of a piezoelectric laminate is presented. The proposed method is based on the H_2 norm optimization for the composite system, and is validated through experimental work on a piezoelectric laminated simply-supported beam.

Trajectory Tracking For A Flexible One-Link Robot Using A Nonlinear Noncollocated Output

Authors:

Reza Olfati-Saber,

Volume: 1, Page 4024 Paper number 1100

Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce a method that provides a nonlinear noncollocated output for trajectory tracking of a flexible one-link robot. The link is modeled as a finite-order Lagrangian system obtained from truncated modal analysis. This noncollocated output is derived based on viewing a flexible link robot arm as an underactuated mechanical system and then applying an appropriate change of coordinates that transforms the system into a cascade nonlinear system with a minimum-phase zero dynamics. The output is the angle of rotation augmented with the (generalized) saturation of the weighted amplitudes of the deflection modes of the flexible link.

Stability Analysis Of A New Control Scheme For A Three-Degree-Of-Freedom Flexible Arm Under Tip Payload Changes

Authors:

José Andrés Somolinos, Vicente Feliu, Andrés García,

Volume: 1, Page 4030 Paper number 1732

Abstract:

This paper describes the stability analysis of a new control scheme for a three-degree-of-freedom flexible arm under tip payload changes. The arm was built with light links, has most of its mass concentrated at the tip, and uses a special mechanical configuration to approximately decouple radial tip motion from angular motions. This special configuration facilitates the modeling and control of the arm. A two nested loop controls the tip position. The value of the tip mass is used as a parameter to design the outer controller. Theoretical stability analysis of the controlled arm is carried out when tip mass differs from the mass used to design the outer loop. Experimental results are presented

Regulation of the PPR Mobile Robot with a Flexible Joint: A Combined Passivity and Flatness Approach

Authors:

Gerardo Espinosa-Pérez, Hebertt Sira-Ramírez, Miguel Ríos-Bolívar,

Volume: 1, Page 4036 Paper number 1317

Abstract:

A passivity based controller is proposed for the regulation of the PPR mobile robot equipped with an underactuated arm coupled to the main robot body by means of a flexible joint. The system, which happens to be differentially flat, can then be controlled using a combination of the passivity based approach and trajectory planning facilitated by the flatness property of the system.
