0 0 Investigating a Reliable Covariance Control Scheme For MDOF Systems

چکیده
The authors attempt to extend their previous efforts towards a reliable control scheme that guarantees a specified degree of reliability for civil engineering structures. Herein, a two degree-of-freedom system is examined. Covariance control techniques are explored to design a compensator that will provide optimal closed-loop performance, while satisfying a constraint on system reliability. It was found for the system under examination that a stable control does not exist that also’meets the target reliability level. Alternate formulations continue to be investigated.

An Intensity Measure for Seismic Input Energy Demand of Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Systems
Nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed to compute the maximum relative input energy per unit mass for 21 multi-degree-of-freedom systems (MDOF) with preselected target fundamental periods of vibration ranging from 0.2 to 4.0 s and 6 target inter-story ductility demands of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 subjected to 40 the earthquake ground motions. The efficiency of the several intensity measures as an ind...
متن کاملStudies of parametrically excited non-linear MDOF systems at parametric resonances
An increasing number of MEMS devices use parametric excitation (PE) to outperform conventional designs. These systems are operated at parametric resonance. Different to standard cases of resonance, at parametric resonances the vibration’s amplitudes increase faster and within a smaller interval. The amplification is much larger and only limited by non-linearities. So far the focus has mostly be...
متن کاملNon-Gaussian response distributions of non-linear MDOF-systems
A novel computational approach called “Local Statistical Linearization” (LSL) based on statistical equivalent linearization and Gaussian superposition has been introduced recently (4). The methodology allows to extend the concept of statistical equivalent linearization to proceed from estimates of the second moment properties of the stochastic response to estimates for the non-Gaussian probabil...
متن کاملCompliant-linkage Kinematic Design for Multi-degree-of-freedom Mobile Robots
Multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) vehicles have many potential advantages over conventional (i.e., 2-DOF) vehicles. For example, MDOF vehicles can travel sideways and they can negotiate tight turns more easily. In addition, some MDOF designs provide better payload capability, better traction, and improved static and dynamic stability. However, MDOF vehicles with more than three degrees-of-freedom ...
متن کاملDesigning a Robust Control Scheme for Robotic Systems with an Adaptive Observer
This paper introduces a robust task-space control scheme for a robotic system with an adaptive observer. The proposed approach does not require the availability of the system states and an adaptive observer is developed to estimate the state variables. These estimated states are then used in the control scheme. First, the dynamic model of a robot is derived. Next, an observer-based robust contr...
