Three Control Methods for Time-Dependent Fluid Flow

We summarize some of the recent developments in the field of optimal and suboptimal control strategies for time-dependent incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Besides the Newton method,reduced order modeling (ROM) and receding horizon control strategies are described. All approaches are applied to compute controls for the unsteady flow around a cylinder in two spatial dimensions. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Dynamics and Control of Initialized Fractional-Order Systems

Due to the importance of historical effects in fractional-order systems,this paper presents a general fractional-order system and control theorythat includes the time-varying initialization response. Previous studieshave not properly accounted for these historical effects. Theinitialization response, along with the forced response, forfractional-order systems is determined. The scalar fractional-orderimpulse response is determined, and is a generalization of theexponential function. Stability properties of fractional-order systemsare presented in the complex w-plane, which is a transformation of thes-plane. Time responses are discussed with respect to pole positions inthe complex w-plane and frequency response behavior is included. Afractional-order vector space representation, which is a generalizationof the state space concept, is presented including the initializationresponse. Control methods for vector representations of initializedfractional-order systems are shown. Finally, the fractional-orderdifferintegral is generalized to continuous order-distributions whichhave the possibility of including all fractional orders in a transferfunction.

Torsional Vibration Control and Cosserat Dynamics of a Drill-Rig Assembly

Aspects of drill-string vibrations in the context of a recently developed integrated model of a drill-rig assembly based on the Cosserat theory of rods are discussed. Computer simulations are used to compare existing rotary feedback strategies currently in use to optimise drilling performance where torsional slip-stick vibrations are a hazard. Guided by the wave nature of axial and torsional vibrations in axially symmetric drill-string configurations, we present a new control mechanism, torsional rectification, and compare its performance with existing controllers within the context of the model. The practical guidelines for the improvement of drilling rates in a wide variety of circumstances are discussed.     

Stochastic Optimal Control of Nonlinear Systems via Short-Time Gaussian Approximation and Cell Mapping

A novel strategy to obtain global solutions of stochasticoptimal control problems with fixed state terminal conditions and controlbounds is proposed in this paper. The solution is global in the sense that theoptimal control solutions for all the initial conditions in a region of thestate space are obtained. The method makes use of Bellman's principle ofoptimality, the cumulant neglect closure method and the short-time Gaussianapproximation. A Markov chain with a control dependent transition probabilitymatrix is built using the generalized cell mapping method. This allows toevaluate the transient and steady state response of the controlled system. Themethod is applied to several linear and nonlinear systems leading to excellentcontrol performances.     

The nonlinear vibration analysis of a clamped-clamped beam by a reduced multibody method

The nonlinear response characteristics for a dynamic system with a geometric nonlinearity is examined using a multibody dynamics method. The planar system is an initially straight clamped-clamped beam subject to high frequency excitation in the vicinity of its third natural mode. The model includes a pre-applied static axial load, linear bending stiffness and a cubic in-plane stretching force. Constrained flexibility is applied to a multibody method that lumps the beam into N elements for three substructures subjected to the nonlinear partial differential equation of motion and N-1 linear modal constraints. This procedure is verified by d'Alembert's principle and leads to a discrete form of Galerkin's method. A finite difference scheme models the elastic forces. The beam is tuned by the axial force to obtain fourth order internal resonance that demonstrates bimodal and trimodal responses in agreement with low and moderate excitation test results. The continuous Galerkin method is shown to generate results conflicting with the test and multibody method. A new checking function based on Gauss' principle of least constraint is applied to the beam to minimize modal constraint error.     

Parameter Identification and Control of Ground Temperature

A numerical thermal management system for the ground structure is presented. The system consists of two parts, i.e. the identification analysis of thermal conductivity and the thermal control analysis for the ground. The former is carried out by using the nonlinear least squares method and the latter is based on the optimal control theory. The formulations of these methods are presented and they are applied to an actual putting green in a golf course. Reasonable thermal conductivity of the ground is identified by parameter estimation and the ground temperature is theoretically controlled as illustrated by numerical examples.
