Extending Synthesis: Robust Design using ADAMS/Insight
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mechanical Dynamics Inc. has entered its twenty-sixth year of producing ADAMS® (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems), the worlds leading commercial mechanical analysis software for kinematics and dynamics of multibody systems. During the past twenty-five years, use of mechanical analysis software has grown dramatically. No longer the province of a fringe group of highly trained specialists, it now has a presence on nearly every engineers desktop. The software comes in many forms embedded in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, or as stand-alone packages such as ADAMS. Use of the software even has a new name: Functional Virtual Prototyping refers to the ability to use mechanical analysis software to complete the engineers understanding of the physics of a design without the need for prototype parts. Due to large numbers of mechanical systems, a high cost of prototypes, and relentless pressure on cost and safety, the automotive industry has always been at the vanguard of the use of Functional Virtual Prototyping technology. A recent popular trend in the automotive industry is called the Six Sigma process intended to get as close as possible to zero defects in part by assuring robust quality and performance of components, subsystems, and systems. To satisfy the demands of the Six Sigma trend, the automotive industry now uses Functional Virtual Prototyping software such as ADAMS as an important tool in Robust Design. This paper describes new software for Robust Design, called ADAMS/Insight, and illustrates how the behavior of a mechanical system model in ADAMS can now be understood more completely over a range of system parameters and tolerances.

In this article, a new approach is proposed to design robust switching gain-scheduled dynamic output feedback control for switched uncertain continuous-time linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. The proposed robust switching gain-scheduled controllers are robustly designed so that the stability and H2-gain performance of the switched closed-loop uncertain LPV system can be guaranteed even und...

Control approaches for a two-link exible manipulator are studied in the context of robust synthesis for Linear Parameter-Varying systems. Diier-ent treatments of the inertia matrix variations in the manipulator system are examined in three control law design formulations. The rst two designs are based upon scaled H 1 or structured singular value synthesis. The third design makes use of a new ap...
متن کاملRobust Distributed Source Coding with Arbitrary Number of Encoders and Practical Code Design Technique
The robustness property can be added to DSC system at the expense of reducing performance, i.e., increasing the sum-rate. The aim of designing robust DSC schemes is to trade off between system robustness and compression efficiency. In this paper, after deriving an inner bound on the rate–distortion region for the quadratic Gaussian MDC based RDSC system with two encoders, the structure of...
