Most industrial processes are nonlinear systems, the control method applied consisting of a linear controller designed for the linear approximation of the nonlinear system around an operating point. However, even though the design of a linear controller is rather straightforward, the result may prove to be unsatisfactorily when applied to the nonlinear system. The natural consequence is to use ...

In this paper we present a new approach to design the input control to track the output of a non-minimum phase nonlinear system. Therefore, a ascade control scheme that combines input–output feedback linearization and gradient descent control method is proposed. Therein, input–output eedback linearization forms the inner loop that compensates the nonlinearities in the input–output behavior, and...

Abstract: Feedback linearization is a common approach used in controlling nonlinear systems. The approach involves coming up with a transformation of the nonlinear system into an equivalent linear system through a change of variables and a suitable control input. In this paper a new control structure based on the application of the method of exact linearization by Direct Feedback Linearization ...

in this paper, an adaptive attitude control algorithm is developed based on neural network for a satellite using four reaction wheels in a tetrahedron configuration. then, an attitude control based on feedback linearization control has been designed and uncertainties in the moment of inertia matrix and disturbances torque have been considered. in order to eliminate the effect of these uncertain...

The objective of this study is to design a robust direct model reference adaptive controller (DMRAC) for a nonlinear cardiovascular model over a range of plant parameters representing a variety of physical conditions. The direct adaptive controllers used in thisd study require the plant to be almost strictly positive real (ASPR) that is, for a plant to be controlled there must exist a feedback ...

This paper presents an adaptive feedback linearization approach to derive helicopter. Ideal feedback linearization is defined for the cases when the system model is known. Adaptive feedback linearization is employed to get asymptotically exact cancellation for the inherent uncertainty in the knowledge of the given parameters of system. The control algorithm is implemented using the feedback lin...

This paper investigates the application of a nonlinear controller to the multi-input multi-output model of a system consisting of a hydraulic turbine and a synchronous generator. The controller proposed is based on a feedback linearization scheme. Its main goal is to control the rotor angle as well as the terminal voltage, to improve the system's stability and damping properties under large dis...

This paper presents a study of linear control systems based on exact feedback linearization and approximate feedback linearization. As exact feedback linearization is applied, a linear controller can perform the control objectives. The approximate feedback linearization is required when a nonlinear system presents a noninvolutive property. It uses a Taylor series expansion in order to compute a...

This paper presents a new method of synthesizing an output feedback adaptive controller for a class of uncertain, non-square, multi-input multi-output systems that often occur in hypersonic vehicle models. The main challenge that needs to be addressed is the determination of a corresponding square and strictly positive real transfer function. This paper proposes a new procedure to synthesize tw...
