Abstract:
After briefly reviewing some algorithms for direct controller order
reduction by identification in closed loop using simulated and
real data, validation tests are proposed. Then the methodology is illustrated
by its application to controller order reduction for an active
suspension system. Experimental results are presented.

Abstract:
Passivity-based robust controller design methodology is presented for
a broad-band control of acoustic duct. Controller design is based on
finite-dimensional approximation and is shown to be robust to unmodeled
dynamics and parametric uncertainties. The acoustic duct model being
inherently non-passive, passification techniques are used to render
the system passive. The control design methodology exploits inherent
robustness of passivity-based controllers and selective mode attenuation
capability of resonant mode controllers. The resulting controller
is low-order, robust, broadband, and has guaranteed stability.

Abstract:
Active control of vibrations is a fundamental subject in the field
of large flexible space structures. This paper discusses the problem
of modelling and simulation of a laboratory structure equipped with
both air jet thrusters and piezoactuators, which is not a trivial issue
in the latter case, and proposes four different control systems, both
centralised and decentralised, using either or both kind of actuators,
in order to exploit their specific features at their best. Some experimental
results are also presented.

Abstract:
In this paper we designed low-order controllers for active control
of acoustic noise in a small cavity. The conventional robust control
synthesis methods usually give controller with the same or higher order
than the generalized plants, and these controllers are difficult to
handle and to be implemented. Any implementation error would make the
performance of the system degraded, or even make the closed loop system
unstable. Therefore, it is necessary, if possible, to find a lower
order controller with a similar performance of a full order controller.
We use a convex optimization algorithm with a nonlinear equality constraint
to find a controller with predetermined order. To verify the performances,
the designed controllers are implemented with TMS320C31 DSP, and their
performances are compared with that of the full order controller. The
results show that the low order controllers have almost same performances
as the full order one. Therefore, the designed low-order controller
could be used more efficiently in practice.

Abstract:
This paper deals with decoupling problems of unknown, measurable and
previewed signals. First the well known solutions of unknown and measurable
disturbance decoupling problems are recalled. Then new necessary and
sufficient constructive conditions for the previewed signal decoupling
problem are proposed. The discrete time case is considered. In this
domain previewing a signal by p steps means that the k-th sample of
the signal to be decoupled is known p steps in advance. The main result
is to prove that the stability condition for all of the mentioned decoupling
problems does not change, i.e. the resolving subspace to be stabilized
is the same independently of the type of signal to be decoupled, being
it completely unknown (disturbance), measured or previewed. The problem
has been studied through self-bounded controlled invariants, thus minimizing
the dimension of the resolving subspace which corresponds to the infimum
of a lattice. Note that reduced dimension on resolving controlled invariant
subspace yields to reduce the order of the controller units.

Abstract:
A standard geometric-type environment, where only the very basic tools
of the geometric approach are used (those supported by well-settled
and well-tested computational aids) enables the development of algorithms
for numerous control and estimation problems in the discrete-time case.
These are: measurable or previewed signal localization problems, perfect
or almost perfect tracking (right inversion), and, by duality, perfect
or almost perfect unknown-input estimation with possible postknowledge
and input reconstruction (left inversion). It is also shown that the
devices obtained (compensator and observer), that may be noncausal
when specific stability requirements are not met, can be implemented
as dynamical systems including finite-horizon convolutors or finite
impulse response (FIR) systems.

Abstract:
Several techniques exists to incorporate disturbance rejection requirements
in a linear controller design. Contrary to, for example the H-infinity
controller design technique where only one degree of freedom is available
to obtain both disturbance rejection and performance, a Disturbance
Observer adds a degree of freedom, thereby enabling a separate design
of the disturbance rejection and the performance. There are many ways
to design,implement and represent disturbance observers. In this paper,
we focus on two design methodologies and their corresponding representations.
It can be shown that, in case the (SISO) plant is linear, the methodologies
result in an equivalent disturbance observer. In this paper, we will
use this equivalence to relate some properties well-known for one methodology
to the other methodology, and vice versa.
