Time Optimal

The design of robust time-optimal controllers using the sensitivity concept is presented in this paper. A parameter optimization problem is solved using the Switch Time Optimization algorithm to determine a bang-bang control profile that minimizes the maneuver time subject to the constraint that the sensitivity of the final states with respect to system parameters are zero. The proposed approach is illustrated on the benchmark floating oscillator problem and a slewing flexible beam whose equations of motion are nonlinear. Simulation results illustrate the reduction of residual vibrations of the system subject to the robust control profile, compared to the time-optimal control profile.

Time Optimal

The task of organization a closed time-optimal control system of linear object with distributed parameters of parabolic type is considered. The object has two lumped internal controls for the power of heat sources excited in the electromagnetic field of an inductor. The proposed method for the synthesis of optimal controllers uses an alternance method for calculating the optimal program controls for each of the control actions. An example of the construction of a quasi-optimal time control system for the process of periodic induction heating of a metal workpiece with constant values of the feedback coefficients calculated for the most characteristic initial spatial distribution is given.

Abstract This paper deals with the design of jerk-limited time-optimal control sequences for rest-to-rest maneuvers of flexible structures. The resulting jerk profiles will be either bang-bang or bang-off-bang. To ensure quiescent states at the end of the maneuver, a pole cancellation technique will be used. Further constraints account for the geometric boundary conditions. This paper will also investigate the development of the control profile upon variation of the maximum allowable amount of jerk. The last section presents numerical results. The proposed control algorithm is implemented for the Floating Oscillator benchmark problem.

This paper addresses the problem of designing jerk limited time-optimal control profiles for rest-to-rest maneuvers of flexible structures. The variation of the structure of the jerk profile as a function of the permissible jerk is studied. An optimal control problem is formulated which includes constraints to cancel the poles corresponding to the rigid body and flexible modes of the system and to satisfy the boundary conditions of the rest-to-rest maneuver. The proposed technique is illustrated on the benchmark Floating Oscillator problem where the jerk profile is parameterized as a bang-off-bang or bang-bang profile.
