Abstract Due to the unique structure of two-input single-output (TISO) feedback systems, several closed-loop properties can be characterized using the concepts of plant and controller “directions” and “alignment.” Poor plant/controller alignment indicates significant limitations in terms of closed-loop performance. In general, it is desirable to design a controller that is well aligned with the plant in order to minimize the size of the closed-loop sensitivity functions and closed-loop interactions. Although the concept of alignment can be a useful analysis tool for a given plant/controller pair, it is not obvious how a controller should be designed to achieve good alignment. We present a new controller design approach, based on the PQ method (Schroeck et al., 2001, “On Compensator Design for Linear Time invariant Dual-Input Single-Output Systems,” IEEE/ASME Trans. Mechatronics, 6(1), pp. 50–57), which explicitly incorporates knowledge of alignment into the design process. This is accomplished by providing graphical information about the alignment angle on the Bode plot of the PQ frequency response. We show the utility of this approach through a design example.

A graphical technique for finding all proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers that stabilize a given single-input-single-output (SISO) linear time-invariant (LTI) system of any order system with time delay has been solved. In this paper a method is introduced that finds all PID controllers that also satisfy an H∞ complementary sensitivity constraint. This problem can be solved by finding all PID controllers that simultaneously stabilize the closed-loop characteristic polynomial and satisfy constraints defined by a set of related complex polynomials. A key advantage of this procedure is the fact that it does not require the plant transfer function, only its frequency response.

This paper extends to multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems a nonlinear method of simultaneous parameter and state estimation that appeared in the ASME JDSM&C (September, 1994), for single-input single-output (SISO) systems. The method is called pseudo-linear identification (PLID), and applies to stochastic linear time-invariant discrete-time systems. No assumptions are required about pole or zero locations; nor about relative degree, except that the system transfer functions must be strictly proper. In the earlier paper, proofs of optimality and convergence were given. Extensions of those proofs to the MIMO case are also given here.

This paper presents integer and linear time-invariant fractional order (FO) models of a closed-loop electric individual-wheel drive implemented on an autonomous platform. Two discrete-time FO models are tested: non-commensurate and commensurate. A classical model described by the second-order linear difference equation is used as the reference. According to the sum of the squared error criterion (SSE), we compare a two-parameter integer order model with four-parameter non-commensurate and three-parameter commensurate FO descriptions. The computer simulation results are compared with the measured velocity of a real autonomous platform powered by a closed-loop electric individual-wheel drive.

In this paper, linear time-invariant square systems are considered. A procedure to design infinitely many proportional–integral–derivative controllers, all of them assigning closed-loop poles (or closed-loop eigenvalues), at desired locations fixed in the open left half plane of the complex plane is presented. The formulation accommodates partial pole placement features. The state-space realization of the linear system incorporated with a proportional–integral–derivative controller boils down to the generalized eigenvalue problem. The generalized eigenvalue-eigenvector constraint is transformed into a system of underdetermined linear homogenous set of equations whose unknowns include proportional–integral–derivative parameters. Hence, the proportional–integral–derivative solution sets are infinitely many for the chosen closed-loop eigenvalues in the eigenvalue-eigenvector constraint. The solution set is also useful to reduce the tracking errors and improve the performance. Three examples are illustrated.
