Integrated Control/Structure Design of a Large Space Structure using Structured H∞ Control

Integrated Control/Structure Design of a Large Space Structure using Structured $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ Control

This study presents the integrated control/structure design of a large flexible structure, the Extra Long Mast Observatory (ELMO). The integrated design is performed using structuredH∞ control tools, developing the Two-Input Two-Output Port (TITOP) model of the flexible multi-body structure and imposing integrated design specifications as H∞ constraints. The integrated control/structure design ...

A Variable Structure Observer Based Control Design for a Class of Large scale MIMO Nonlinear Systems

This paper fully discusses how to design an observer based decentralized fuzzy adaptive controller for a class of large scale multivariable non-canonical nonlinear systems with unknown functions of subsystems’ states. On-line tuning mechanisms to adjust both the parameters of the direct adaptive controller and observer that guarantee the ultimately boundedness of both the tracking error and tha...

Robust Control Synchronization on Multi-Story Structure under Earthquake Loads and Random Forces using H∞ Algorithm

In this paper‎, ‎the concept of synchronization control along with robust H∞ control are considered to evaluate the seismic response control on multi-story structures‎. ‎To show the accuracy of the novel algorithm‎, ‎a five-story structure is evaluated under the EL-Centro earthquake load‎. ‎In order to find the performance of the novel algorithm‎, ‎random and uncertainty processes corresponding...

Control-Structure Integrated Design with Closed-Form Design Metrics using Physical Programming

Integrated Structure-control Design of Dynamically Walking Robots

This study is motivated by the need of efficient dynamics-based methodologies for overall design of legged robots (LR). LR have to be considered as functionally directed compositions of mutually influencing components: controllers, actuators, mechanical structure, and sensors. Along with the basic design requirement for strength/load capacity, additional design criteria for LR from a control pe...
