Minimax Design of Robust Controllers for Flexible Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of robust time-delay and saturating controllers based on the range of expected variation of uncertain parameters from their nominal values is investigated. A minimax optimization problem is formulated with the objective of minimizing the maximum value of the cost function over the range of the uncertain parameter. By the adoption of the residual energy as the cost function, the optimization problem formulation is simple because it requires only one equation that is used both as the cost function and constraint. To expedite the optimization process, equations are derived for the gradient of the cost and constraint functions with respect to the parameters of the controller. The proposed technique is illustrated on two examples. The rst is a spring–mass–dashpot and the second is the two-mass–spring benchmark problem.

Design of Nonlinear Robust Controller and Observer for Control of a Flexible Spacecraft
Two robust nonlinear controllers along with a nonlinear observer have been developed in this study to control a 1D nonlinear flexible spacecraft. The first controller is based on dynamic inversion, while the second one is composed of dynamic inversion and µ-synthesis controllers. The extension of dynamic inversion approach to flexible spacecraft is impeded by the non-minimum phase characteristi...
متن کاملA magnetorheological fluid damper for robust vibration control of flexible rotor-bearing systems: A comparison between sliding mode and fuzzy approaches
Squeeze Film Dampers (SFD) are commonly used for passive vibration control of rotor-bearing systems. The Magnetorheological (MR) and Electrorheological (ER) fluids in SFDs give a varying damping characteristic to the bearing that can provide active control schemes for the rotor-bearing system. A common way to model an MR bearing is implementing the Bingham plastic model. Adding this model to th...
