Design of Structured Controllers with Applications

Authors:

Carsten W. Scherer,

Volume: 1, Page 5204 Paper number 1520

Abstract:

For generalized plants with a specific structure we provide in this paper solutions of decentralized H-infinity-controller design problems by convex optimization without any conservatism. We apply our framework to multi-objective control problems with time-domain and exact disturbance decoupling constraints and to the problem of designing robust controllers against uncertain stochastic disturbances.

Optimal Control for Nonholonomic Systems with Symmetry

Authors:

Jorge Cortés, Sonia Martínez,

Volume: 1, Page 5216 Paper number 9027

Abstract:

We study the optimal control problem for nonholonomic systems with symmetry. This work is motivated by the idea of taking advantage of the geometric structure exhibited by the optimal equations to integrate them.

Tuning Of A Combustion Controller By Extremum Seeking: A Simulation Study

Authors:

Georg Schneider, Kartik B. Ariyur, Miroslav Krstić,

Volume: 1, Page 5219 Paper number 9705

Abstract:

Attenuation of thermoacoustic instabilities by active control has lately received considerable attention. Many experimentally successful endeavors have used phase-shifting controllers feeding back a phase-shifted/time-delayed version of the dominant harmonic of acoustic oscillations through appropriate actuation (loudspeakers or fuel flow modulation). The phase-shifters are tuned by trial and error to produce a minimum oscillation amplitude. Hence, for widespread practical application of these controllers, there exists a need for adaptive tuning of the phase-shift to produce a minimum oscillation amplitude in a dynamic environment. The present simulation study demonstrates the efficacy of the extremum seeking algorithm and a modified version in optimally tuning the phase-shift in a model of a controlled combustion process identified from data. Step and ramp changes in the optimal phase-shift are successfully tracked, and oscillation amplitude kept at its minimum value.

Force/Position Tracking for Electrohydraulic Systems of a Robotic Excavator

Authors:

Q.H. Nguyen, Q.P. Ha, D.C. Rye, Hugh F. Durrant-Whyte,

Volume: 1, Page 5224 Paper number 2160

Abstract:

This paper presents the sliding mode axis control of the electrohydraulic servo systems of a robotic excavator. The dynamic systems are described by a comprehensive model that accounts for nonlinearities and friction effects of asymmetric hydraulic cylinders. A sliding mode controller is developed for the electrohydraulic actuator of each working axis to provide stable force tracking. With a proper choice of the reference force, the control law can also allow tracking of a desired piston displacement trajectory. Numerical simulation demonstrates the validity of the proposed technique. Experimental results show good performance and strong robustness in both force and position following.
