Minimax LQG optimal control of a flexible beam

چکیده
The paper presents a practical robust controller design methodology based on recent theoretical results on minimax LQG control. This controller design methodology is illustrated with the design of a robust feedback controller for the control of vibrations in a flexible cantilever beam. The minimax LQG control approach is used to design a controller which minimizes the total vibration energy in the beam which is subject to white noise disturbances. The controller is designed to be robust against uncertainties introduced by neglecting the higher order modes of the beam. r 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملMinimax LQG Control of Stochastic Partially Observed Uncertain Systems
We consider an infinite-horizon linear-quadratic minimax optimal control problem for stochastic uncertain systems with output measurement. A new description of stochastic uncertainty is introduced using a relative entropy constraint. For the stochastic uncertain system under consideration, a connection between the worst-case control design problem and a specially parametrized risk-sensitive sto...
متن کاملA Robust Approximation Scheme for the LQG Control of an Undamped Flexible Beam with a Tip Mass
This work deals with the LQG control problem of a flexible beam clamped at one end and with a point mass at the free end, where a boundary control force can be applied. A class of finite-dimensional control laws is proposed here, derived on the basis of the EulerBernoulli infinite-dimensional beam model. By means of this approach it is possible to take into account also the higher order modes t...
