Design method of multiple time-delay controller for active structural vibration control

An optimal control method for seismic-excited building structures with multiple time delays is investigated in this paper. The system state equation with multiple time delays is discretized and transformed into a standard discrete form without any explicit time delay by a particular augmenting for state variables. A time-delay controller is then designed based on this standard equation using the discrete optimal control method. Effectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated by numerical simulations. Simulation results indicate that a very small time delay may result in the instability of the control system if it is not compensated in the control design. Time delay may be compensated effectively by the proposed controller, in the mean time, an effective control may be obtained. The proposed controller is valid for both small and large time delays.     

Delayed full-state feedback control of airfoil flutter using sliding mode control method

This paper studies the delayed feedback control of flutter of a two-dimensional airfoil using a sliding mode control (SMC) method. The dynamic equation of airfoil flutter is firstly established using the Lagrange method, in which the cubic hardening spring nonlinearity of pitch stiffness is considered. Then, the state equation with time delay is transformed into a standard state equation with implicit time delay by a special integral transformation. Next a nonlinear time-delay controller is designed using the SMC method. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through numerical simulations. Simulation results indicate that time delay in the control system has significant influence on the control performance. Control failure may happen if time delay is not considered in control design. The time-delay controller proposed is effective in suppressing the airfoil flutter with either small or large control time delay.

Dissipativity-based stable controller redesign for nonlinear MIMO switched systems in the presence of perturbations

This paper offers a control redesign method for a class of nonlinear MIMO perturbed dissipative switched systems. The controller for the nominal switched system without perturbation is considered to have been designed based on dissipativity. The nominal model is considered affine with perturbations in both nonlinear terms. The controller is then redesigned such that the dissipativity of the switched system with perturbations is maintained by including a robustifying term in the control law. The design is developed for the two cases of 2-norm and infinity-norm bounded perturbations. The proposed method is applied to a nonlinear MIMO switched system to verify the convergence of the state vector to the origin in the presence of perturbations.

Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, it is proved that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. Finally, a simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control scheme.

     

Adaptive fuzzy H ∞ tracking design of SISO uncertain nonlinear fractional order time-delay systems

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller equipped with training algorithms is developed such that the H ^?? tracking performance should be satisfied for a model-free nonlinear fractional order time delay system which is infinite dimensional in nature and time delay is a source of instability. In order to deal with the linguistic uncertainties caused from delay terms, the adaptive time delay fuzzy logic system is constructed to approximate the unknown time delay system functions. By incorporating Lyapunov stability criterion with H ^?? tracking design technique, the free parameters of the adaptive fuzzy controller can be tuned on line by output feedback control law and adaptive law. Moreover, the tracking error and external disturbance can be attenuated to arbitrary desired level. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive H ^?? tracking scheme.     

Robust tracking control method based on composite nonlinear feedback technique for linear systems with time-varying uncertain parameters and disturbances

In this paper, the composite nonlinear feedback control method is considered for robust tracking and model following of uncertain linear systems. The control law guarantees that the tracking error decreases asymptotically to zero in the presence of time varying uncertain parameters and disturbances. For performance improvement of the dynamical system, the proposed robust tracking controller consists of linear and nonlinear feedback parts without any switching element. The linear feedback law is designed to allow the closed loop system have a small damping ratio and a quick response while the nonlinear feedback law increases the damping ratio of the system as the system output approaches the output of the reference model. A new collection of different nonlinear functions used in the control law are offered to improve the reference tracking performance of the system. The proposed robust tracking controller improves the transient performance and steady state accuracy simultaneously. Finally, the simulations are provided to verify the theoretical results.     

Observer design and output feedback stabilization for nonlinear multivariable systems with diffusion PDE-governed sensor dynamics

This paper addresses the problems of observer design and output feedback stabilization for a class of nonlinear multivariable systems, where the nonlinear system dynamics are described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and the sensor dynamics are governed by diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs). Based on the Luenberger observer theory, a Luenberger-type PDE-ODE cascaded observer is derived to estimate the state variables of the system. Then, an observer-based output feedback stabilizing controller is developed. The exponential stability of both the observer error system and closed-loop control system is proven via the Lyapunov direct method. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design methods.     

Fuzzy observer-based command filtered tracking control for uncertain strict-feedback nonlinear systems with sensor faults and event-triggered technology

For the trajectory tracking problem of nth-order uncertain nonlinear systems with sensor faults, a fuzzy controller based on command filtered and event-triggered technology is designed to improve the tracking error of the system. Concurrently, a fault-tolerant control scheme is introduced to effectively solve the problem of sudden output sensor failure. Additionally, the proposed controller can also greatly avoid complexity explosion problem of derivations of virtual control laws, which makes the design of the controller simpler. Furthermore, an effective observer is designed to solve the problem of system state immeasurability. Therefore, the proposed control scheme makes the design of the controller more convenient and flexible. According to Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that all closed-loop signals are uniformly and ultimately bounded. Finally, two simulation examples of second-order nonlinear system and single-link robot show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

     

Robust synchronization of uncertain fractional-order chaotic systems with time-varying delay

This paper presents a new technique using a recurrent non-singleton type-2 sequential fuzzy neural network (RNT2SFNN) for synchronization of the fractional-order chaotic systems with time-varying delay and uncertain dynamics. The consequent parameters of the proposed RNT2SFNN are learned based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability analysis. The proposed control method is used to synchronize two non-identical and identical fractional-order chaotic systems, with time-varying delay. Also, to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control method, in the other practical applications, the proposed controller is applied to synchronize the master–slave bilateral teleoperation problem with time-varying delay. Simulation results show that the proposed control scenario results in good performance in the presence of external disturbance, unknown functions in the dynamics of the system and also time-varying delay in the control signal and the dynamics of system. Finally, the effectiveness of proposed RNT2SFNN is verified by a nonlinear identification problem and its performance is compared with other well-known neural networks.     

Robust reliable sampled-data control for offshore steel jacket platforms with nonlinear perturbations

In this article, we consider the robust reliable sample-data control problem for an offshore steel jacket platform with input time-varying delay and possible occurrence of actuator faults subject to nonlinear self-exited hydrodynamic forces. The main objective of this work is to design a state feedback reliable sample-data controller such that for all admissible uncertainties as well as actuator failure cases, the resulting closed-loop system is robustly exponentially stable. By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and using linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, a new set of sufficient condition is derived in terms of LMIs for the existence of robust reliable sample-data control law. In particular, the uncertainty under consideration in system parameters includes linear fractional norm-bounded uncertainty. Further, Schur complement and Jenson’s integral inequality are used to substantially simplify the derivation in the main results. More precisely, the controller gain matrix for the nonlinear offshore steel jacket platform can be achieved by solving the LMIs, which can be easily facilitated by using some standard numerical packages. Finally, a numerical example with simulation result is provided to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed reliable sampled-data control scheme.

Dynamic controller design for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems subjected to time-varying disturbance

Inheriting advantages of both proportional-integral-derivative controller and standard sliding mode control theory, a synthetic controller design for a class of nonlinear system is presented. Regarding the architecture of the developed controller, it does not include model-based nominal control term so that the method eliminates complicated processes for system parameters identification and design of extra compensators. With simple gain tuning rules, the proposed control algorithm provides global asymptotical stability and is capable of alleviating discontinuous control switching considerably. A self-sustained oscillations phenomenon caused by the proposed control configuration is also further addressed. Simulations and experiments are conducted to verify the feasibility and applicability of the proposed approach.
