This paper presents the control design and analysis of a non-linear model of a MacPherson suspension system equipped with a magnetorheological (MR) damper. The model suspension considered incorporates the kinematics of the suspension linkages. An output feedback controller is developed using an ℒ2-gain analysis based on the concept of energy dissipation. The controller is effectively a smooth saturated PID. The performance of the closed-loop system is compared with a purely passive MacPherson suspension system and a semi-active damper, whose damping coefficient is tunned by a Skyhook-Acceleration Driven Damping (SH-ADD) method. Simulation results show that the developed controller outperforms the passive case at both the rattle space, tire hop frequencies and the SH-ADD at tire hop frequency while showing a close performance to the SH-ADD at the rattle space frequency. Time domain simulation results confirmed that the control strategy satisfies the dissipative constraint.

Simulation Results

In this paper, we consider the control design for manipulator handling a flexible payload in the presence of input constraints. The dynamics of the system is described by coupled ordinary differential equation and a partial differential equation. Considering actuators saturation, the proposed control law applies a smooth hyperbolic function to handle the effect of the input constraints. The asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is proved by using semigroup theory and extended LaSalle’s Invariance Principle. Simulation results show that the proposed controller is effective.

Abstract This work presents a mathematical model of an aeropendulum system with two sets of motors with propellers and the design and simulation of a loop-shaping ℋ∞ control for this system. In this plant, the objective is to control the angular position of the pendulum rod through the torque generated by the thrust of the motorized propellers at the end of the rod’s axis. The control design is obtained by first using feedback linearization and then designing the ℋ∞ controller using the resulting linear system. For the control strategy validation, simulations were conducted in the Matlab/Simulink® environment, and the weighting functions for the ℋ∞ controller were adjusted to obtain the desired performance and stability of the closed-loop system. The simulation results show the efficiency of the applied methodology.

Abstract This study will examine the effectiveness of magneto-rheological (MR) dampers for controlling shock dynamics. Using a system that includes a 50-caliber rifle and a magneto-rheological damper, it is experimentally shown that MR dampers can be quite effective in controlling the compromise that commonly exists between shock forces and strokes across the shock absorber mechanism. A series of tests are conducted to demonstrate that different damping forces by the MR damper can result in different shock-force/stroke profiles. The test results further show that MR dampers can be used in a closed-loop system to adjust the shock loading characteristics in a manner that fits the dynamic system constraints and requirements.

The Lorenz System

In this letter, we reconsider the problem of controlling chaos in the well-known Lorenz system. Firstly, the difficulty in controlling the Lorenz system is discussed in the general strict-feedback form. Then, singularity-free adaptive control is presented for the Lorenz system with three key parameters unknown by exploiting the physical property of the system using decoupled backstepping design. The proposed controller guarantees the asymptotic convergence of the output and the boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop system. Simulation results are conducted to show the effectiveness of the approach.

This paper investigates the problems of stabilization and control for time-delay switched fuzzy systems using output feedback controller. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, multiple Lyapunov method is used to obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of the controller for the output feedback. Then an algorithm is constructed to transform the sufficient condition into a LMI form, thus obtaining a method for designing the controller. The designed controller guarantees the closed-loop system to be asympototically stable. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of our method.

Dynamic Output Feedback Controller

The aim of this paper is to develop a new approach for a solution of the model following control (MFC) problem with a dynamic compensator by using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). TheH1 model following control problem is derived following LMI formulation. First, the H1 optimal control problem is revisited by referring to Lemmas assuring all admissible controllers minimizing the H1 norm of the transfer function between the exogenous inputs and the outputs. Then, the solvability condition and a design procedure for a two degrees of freedom (2 DOF) dynamic feedback control law is introduced. The existence of a 2 DOF dynamic output feedback controller for the model following control is proven and the stability of the closed-loop system is satisfied by assuring the Hurwitz condition. The benchmark thermal process (PT-326) as the first order process with timedelay is regulated by the presented 2 DOF dynamic output feedback controller. The simulation results illustrate that the presented controller regulates a system with dead-time as a large set of generic industrial systems and the H1 norm of the closed-loop system is assured less than the H1 norm of the desired model system.

The features of internal model control (IMC) design based on the first order anisochronic model are investigated in this paper. The structure of the anisochronic model is chosen in order to fit both the dominant pole and the dominant zero of the system dynamics being approximated. Thanks to its fairly plain structure, the model is suitable for use in IMC design. However, use of the anisochronic model in IMC design may result in so-called neutral dynamics of the closed loop. This phenomenon is studied in this paper via analysing the spectra of the closed loop system.

 A nonlinear friction is an unavoidable phenomenon frequently experienced in mechanical system between two contact surfaces. An adaptive compensator is designed to achieve tracking of a desired velocity trajectory in the presence of friction force described by a single state elastoplastic friction model. The adaptive compensator includes an adaptive observer and a computed force controller. The closed loop system is shown to be stable using Lyapunov second method. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed compensator.
