Application of optimal control to a biomechanics model
نویسنده
چکیده
A model of sport biomechanics describing short-distance running (sprinting) is developed by applying methods of optimal control. In the considered model the motion of a sportsman is described by a second order ordinary differential equation. Two interconnected optimal control problems are formulated and solved: the minimum energy and time-optimal control problems. Based on the comparison with real data, it is shown that the proposed approach to sprint modeling provides realistic results.

Designing a novel structure of explicit model predictive control with application in a buck converter system
This paper proposes a novel structure of model predictive control algorithm for piecewise affine systems as a particular class of hybrid systems. Due to the time consuming and computational complexity of online optimization problem in MPC algorithm, the explicit form of MPC which is called Explicit MPC (EMPC) is applied in order to control of buck converter. Since the EMPC solves the optimizati...

متن کاملNonlinear Optimal Control Techniques Applied to a Launch Vehicle Autopilot
This paper presents an application of the nonlinear optimal control techniques to the design of launch vehicle autopilots. The optimal control is given by the solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, which in this case cannot be solved explicity. A method based upon Successive Galerkin Approximation (SGA), is used to obtain an approximate optimal solution. Simulation results invo...

متن کاملOptimal Integral State Feedback Control of HCCI Combustion Timing
Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines hold promise of high fuel efficiency and low emission levels for future green vehicles. But in contrast to gasoline and diesel engines, HCCI engines suffer from lack of having direct means to initiate combustion. A combustion timing controller with robust tracking performance is the key requirement to leverage HCCI application in production ...
