Lft Representations for Nonlinear Mechanical Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a systematic methodology for constructing LFT representations for general mechanical systems derived via Lagrange’s equations. The LFT representation allows for any nonlinear matrix second-order mechanical system to be transformed into an interconnection of an LTI system with a diagonal “uncertainty” block. This uncertainty block is, in fact, state-dependent. Sufficient conditions that ensure well-posedness of the LFT interconnection are given. Using such LFT representations, the stability properties of the system can then be analyzed using Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs).

Control Oriented LFT Modeling of a Non Linear MIMO system
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a procedure for parametric uncertainty modeling of a highly nonlinear multiinput multioutput (MIMO) cross coupled system for the purpose of Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT) model realization. A novel technique has been considered to represent the control oriented LFT modeling of linear parametric models. A systematic approach is to find the equivalent represe...

In this contribution the automated generation of LFT-based parametric uncertainty descriptions from a generic nonlinear aircraft-dynamics model, as used for the GARTEUR RCAM Design Challenge on Robust Flight Control, is described. For this purpose an object-oriented, equation-based modeling approach using the modeling environment Dy-mola was applied. Using this technique allows the modeling of ...

In this chapter, a general nonlinear symbolic LFT modelling framework and its support LFT tools are presented. The modelling approach developed combines the natural modularity and clarity of presentation from LFT modelling with the ease of manipulation from symbolic algebra. It results in an exact nonlinear symbolic LFT that represents an ideal starting point to apply subsequent assumptions and...

Formal robustness analysis of aircraft control upset prevention and recovery systems could play an important role in their validation and ultimate certification. Such systems developed for failure detection, identification, and reconfiguration, as well as upset recovery, need to be evaluated over broad regions of the flight envelope or under extreme flight conditions, and should include various...
متن کاملExact Nonlinear Modelling Using Symbolic Linear Fractional Transformations
In this paper, a nonlinear modelling framework is presented that combines symbolic modelling and linear fractional transformation (LFT) techniques to obtain a nonlinear symbolic LFT representation. This modelling approach presents three clear advantages: (i) it provides a unifying framework for the different models that stem from the same nonlinear system, (ii) it allows for a highly structured...
