In this article, the issue of attitude control and active vibration suppression of a nonlinear flexible spacecraft is assessed through piezoelectric patches as actuator and sensors. Two controller loops are applied: the inner loop, to make the panel vibration damped through piezoelectric patches; and the outer loop, to perform spacecraft maneuver using the reaction wheel acting on the hub. An o...

In this note, a fault-tolerant control strategy is proposed from a robust control perspective by applying the recently introduced GIMC (Generalized Internal Mode Control) architecture. This fault-tolerant control design consists of two parts: a nominal performance controller and a robustness controller, and works in such way that when a sensor failure is detected, the controller structure is re...

Controller design problem is dealt with for a class of plants with time-varying nonlinear uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics. A new method based on signal compensation is proposed to design a robust controller. A controller designed by this method consists of a nominal controller and a robust compensator. It is shown that robust tracking property and robust tracking transient performance can ...

Plant structure is utilized for the simpli cation of system analysis and controller synthesis. For plants where the directionality is independent of frequency, the singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to decouple the system into nominally independent subsystems of lower dimension. In H2and H1-optimal control, the controller synthesis can thereafter be performed for each of these subsystem...

This paper presents a robust controller design methodology for a class of linear uncertain multivariable systems with hard time-domain constraints on their outputs and control signals in response to step disturbance inputs. In this approach, the m×m MIMO system is replaced by m2 SISO systems and then, using the QFT technique, desirable controllers are synthesized. The final controller will be d...

The main objective of this paper is to model and optimize the parallel and relatively complex FuzzyP+FuzzyI+FuzzyD (FP+FI+FD) controller for simultaneous control of the voltage and frequency of a micro-grid in the islanded mode. The FP+FI+FD controller has three parallel branches, each of which has a specific task. Finally, as its name suggests, the final output of the controller is derived fro...

there are two significant goals in teleoperation systems: stability and performance. this paper introduces an lmi-based robust control method for bilateral transparent teleoperation systems in presence of model mismatch. the uncertainties in time delay in communication channel, task environment and model parameters of master-slave systems is called model mismatch. the time delay in communicatio...

natural vibration analysis of plates represents an important issue in engineering applications. in this paper, a new and simplify method for vibration analysis of circular and rectangular plates is presented. the design of an effective robust controller, which consistently attenuates transverse vibration of the plate caused by an external disturbance force, is given. the dynamics of the plate i...

this paper concerns the problem of robust stabilization of uncertain fractional-order non-autonomous systems. in this regard, a single input active control approach is proposed for control and stabilization of three-dimensional uncertain fractional-order systems. the robust controller is designed on the basis of fractional lyapunov stability theory. furthermore, the effects of model uncertainti...
