Nonlinear dynamic analysis and sliding mode control for?a?gyroscope system

This paper employs differential transformation (DT) method to analyze and control the dynamic behavior of a gyroscope system. The analytical results reveal a complex dynamic behavior comprising periodic, subharmonic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic responses of the center of gravity. Furthermore, the results reveal the changes which take place in the dynamic behavior of the gyroscope system as the external force is increased. The current analytical results by DT method are found to be in good agreement with those of Runge?CKutta (RK) method. In order to suppress the chaotic behavior in gyroscope system, the sliding mode controller (SMC) is used and guaranteed the stability of the system from chaotic motion to periodic motion. Numerical simulations are shown to verify the results. The proposed DT method and controlling scheme provide an effective means of gaining insights into the nonlinear dynamics and controlling of gyroscope systems.     

A control approach for vibrations of a nonlinear microbeam system in multi-dimensional form

Microbeams are widely seen in micro-electro-mechanical systems and their engineering applications. An active control strategy based on the fuzzy sliding mode control is developed in this research for controlling and stabilizing the nonlinear vibrations of a micro-electro-mechanical beam. An Euler-Bernoulli beam with a fixed-fixed boundary is employed to represent the microbeam, and the geometric nonlinearity of the beam and loading nonlinearity from the electrostatic force are considered. The governing equation of the microbeam is established and transformed into a multi-dimensional dynamic system with the third-order Galerkin method. A stability analysis is provided to show the necessity of the derived multi-dimensional dynamic system, and a chaotic motion is discovered. Then, a control approach is proposed, including a control strategy and a two-phase control method. For describing the application of the control approach developed, control of a chaotic motion of the microbeam is presented. The effectiveness of the active control approach is demonstrated via controlling and stabilizing the nonlinear vibration of the microbeam.     

Solar sail chaotic pitch dynamics and its control in Earth orbits

The attitude dynamics and control for solar sail orbiting a celestial body (e.g., the Earth) are critical for the space missions. In the paper, the pitch dynamics is addressed by considering the torques by the center-of-mass and center-of-pressure offset, the gravity gradient, the internal damping and the control vane. The chaotic pitch motion is analytically detected for the sailcraft in the circular and elliptical orbits with small eccentricities using the Melnikov’s method. The validity of the Melnikov method is numerically verified by checking the Poincare surface of section and the power spectral density. The stability criterion method with some improvements is utilized to stabilize the chaotic pitch motion onto the reference unstable periodic motion embedded in the chaotic attractor. The reference unstable periodic motion is obtained based on the calculation of the close return pairs. The small control input torques and the stabilization effects are presented, and the advantages of the modified stabilization method are clarified based on the numerical simulations.     

Finite-time chaos control and synchronization of fractional-order nonautonomous chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems using fractional nonsingular terminal sliding mode technique

In this paper, a novel fractional-order terminal sliding mode control approach is introduced to control/synchronize chaos of fractional-order nonautonomous chaotic/hyperchaotic systems in a given finite time. The effects of model uncertainties and external disturbances are fully taken into account. First, a novel fractional nonsingular terminal sliding surface is proposed and its finite-time convergence to zero is analytically proved. Then an appropriate robust fractional sliding mode control law is proposed to ensure the occurrence of the sliding motion in a given finite time. The fractional version of the Lyapunov stability is used to prove the finite-time existence of the sliding motion. The proposed control scheme is applied to control/synchronize chaos of autonomous/nonautonomous fractional-order chaotic/hyperchaotic systems in the presence of both model uncertainties and external disturbances. Two illustrative examples are presented to show the efficiency and applicability of the proposed finite-time control strategy. It is worth to notice that the proposed fractional nonsingular terminal sliding mode control approach can be applied to control a broad range of nonlinear autonomous/nonautonomous fractional-order dynamical systems in finite time.

This study verifies chaotic motion of an automotive wiper system, which consists of two blades driven by a DC motor via the two connected four-bar linkages and then elucidates a system for chaotic control. A bifurcation diagram reveals complex nonlinear behaviors over a range of parameter values. Next, the largest Lyapunov exponent is estimated to identify periodic and chaotic motions. Finally, a method for controlling a chaotic automotive wiper system will be proposed. The method involves applying another external input, called a dither signal, to the system. Some simulation results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper concerns the problem of robust stabilization of autonomous and non-autonomous fractional-order chaotic systems with uncertain parameters and external noises. We propose a simple efficient fractional integral-type sliding surface with some desired stability properties. We use the fractional version of the Lyapunov theory to derive a robust sliding mode control law. The obtained control law is single input and guarantees the occurrence of the sliding motion in a given finite time. Furthermore, the proposed nonlinear control strategy is able to deal with a large class of uncertain autonomous and non-autonomous fractional-order complex systems. Also, Rigorous mathematical and analytical analyses are provided to prove the correctness and robustness of the introduced approach. At last, two illustrative examples are given to show the applicability and usefulness of the proposed fractional-order variable structure controller.

Dynamic delayed feedback control for stabilizing the giant swing motions of an underactuated three-link gymnastic robot

This paper investigates the dynamics of the giant swing motions of an underactuated three-link gymnastic robot moving in a vertical plane by means of dynamic delayed feedback control (DDFC). DDFC, being one of useful methods to overcome the so-called odd number limitation in controlling a chaotic discrete-time system, is extended to control a continuous-time system such as a 3-link gymnastic robot with passive joint. Meanwhile, a way to calculate the error transfer matrix and the input matrix which are necessary for discretization is proposed, based on a Poincaré section which is defined to regard the target system as a discrete-time system. Moreover, the stability of the closed-loop system by the proposed control strategy is discussed. Furthermore, some numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness in controlling a chaotic motion of the 3-link gymnastic robot to a periodic giant swing motion.

This paper deals with chaotic attitude motion of a magnetic rigid spacecraft with internal damping in a circular orbit near the equatorial plane of the earth. The dynamical model of the problem is established. The Melnikov analysis is carried out to prove the existence of a complicated non-wandering Cantor set. The dynamical behaviors are numerically investigated by means of time history. Poincare map, power spectrum and Lyapunov exponents. Numerical simulations indicate that the onset of chaos is characterized by the intermittency as the increase of the torque of the magnetic forces and decrease of the damping. The input-output feedback linearization method is applied to control chaotic attitude motions to the given fixed point and periodic motion.
