Multivariable feedback design: Concepts for a classical/modern synthesis

Multivariable Feedback Design : Concepts for a ClassicaVModern Synthesis

Abstmei--lhis paper presents a practical design perspective on multivariable feedback control problem. It reviews the basic issue-feedback design in the face of uncertainties-and generalizes known single-input, singleoutput (SISO) statements and constraints of the design problem to multiinpat, multioutput ("0) cases. Two major "0 design a p proaches are then evaluated in the context of these re...

A Sequential Design Method for Multivariable Feedback Control Systems

In this paper, a sequential design method is proposed for analyses and designs of multivariable feedback control systems. The overall compensator is implemented systematiccally with a cascaded layer-wrapped structure and diagonal compensators. The method can take into consideration of stability, integrity, diagonal dominance and performance in a sequential manner. Roots of stability-equations a...

Synthesis of Design Concepts from a Design for Assembly Perspective

Assembly is often a labor intensive and costly process. Techniques such as design for assembly, and automatic assembly planning have been reported in an attempt to lower the high cost of assembly. Automatic assembly planning is concerned with finding the optimal sequence of assembly for a given design. On the other hand, design for assembly (DFA) examines the given design to evaluate its “fitne...

A Novel Design Approach for Multivariable Quantitative Feedback Design with Tracking Error Specifications

In this paper, a novel Two-Degree-Of-Freedom (2DOF) design procedure for Multi-Input Multi-Output Quantitative Feedback Theory (MIMO QFT) problems with Tracking Error Specifications (TESs) is presented. In the proposed procedure, the feedback compensator design is separated from the pre-filter design, using the model matching approach and the unstructured uncertainty modeling concept. This pape...
