Although, robust controllers that have been designed for hydraulic actuators based on quantitative feedback theory (QFT) have shown satisfactory performance, their stability is limited to certain set of inputs-outputs. This paper explores, for the first time, the stability of a QFT controller using stability theorem of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems. To do this, first the hydraulic closed-loop system is represented by a T-S fuzzy model that is formed through a nonlinear combination of some local linear models. Next, the stability of the resulting T-S fuzzy system is analyzed simply by stability analysis of its local linear models. This approach is used to study the stability of a QFT position controller previously developed for hydraulic actuators. Results show guaranteed stability of the QFT controller over a wide range of operation and in the presence of parametric uncertainties.

A state differential feedback control system based Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is designed for load-following operation of nonlinear nuclear reactor whose operating points vary within a wide range. Linear models are first derived from the original nonlinear model on several operating points. Next the fuzzy controller is designed via using the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme with the relative neutron density at the equilibrium point as the premise variable. Last the stability analysis is given by means of linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, thus the control system is guaranteed to be stable within a large range. The simulation results demonstrate that the control system works well over a wide region of operation.

In many practical systems, stochastic behaviors usually occur and need to be considered in the controller design. To ensure the system performance under the effect of stochastic behaviors, the controller may become bigger even beyond the capacity of practical applications. Therefore, the actuator saturation problem also must be considered in the controller design. The type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model can describe the parameter uncertainties more completely than the type-1 T-S fuzzy model for a class of nonlinear systems. A fuzzy controller design method is proposed in this paper based on the Interval Type-2 (IT2) T-S fuzzy model for stochastic nonlinear systems subject to actuator saturation. The stability analysis and some corresponding sufficient conditions for the IT2 T-S fuzzy model are developed using Lyapunov theory. Via transferring the stability and control problem into Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problem, the proposed fuzzy control problem can be solved by the convex optimization algorithm. Finally, a nonlinear ship steering system is considered in the simulations to verify the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed fuzzy controller design method.

Model of ultrasonic motor is the foundation of the design of ultrasonic motor's speed and position controller. A two-input and one-output dynamic Takagi-Sugeno model of ultrasonic motor driving system is worked out using fuzzy reasoning modeling method in this paper. Many fuzzy reasoning modeling methods are sensitive to the initial values and easy to fall into local minimum, and have a large amount of calculation. In order to overcome these defects, equalized universe method is used in this paper to get clusters centers and obtain fuzzy clustering membership functions, and then, the unknown parameters of the conclusions of fuzzy rules are identified using least-square method. Different experimental data that are tested with different operational conditions are used to examine the validity of the fuzzy model. Comparison between experimental data and calculated data of the model indicates that the model can well describe the nonlinear characteristics among the frequency, amplitude of driving voltage and rotating speed. The proposed fuzzy model can be used to analyze the performance of ultrasonic motor driving system, and also can be used to design the speed and position controller of ultrasonic motor.

In this paper, a new design approach to construct a fault-tolerant controller (FTC) with fault estimation capability is proposed using a generalized Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model for a class of nonlinear systems in the presence of actuator faults and unknown disturbances. The generalized T-S fuzzy model consists of some local models with multiplicative nonlinear terms that satisfy Lipschitz condition. Besides covering a very wide range of nonlinear systems with a smaller number of local rules in comparison with the conventional T-S fuzzy model and hence having less computational burden, the existence of the multiplicative nonlinear term solves the uncontrollability issues that the other generalized T-S fuzzy models with additive nonlinear terms dealt with. A state/fault observer designed for the considered generalized T-S fuzzy model and then, a dynamic FTC law based on the estimated fault information is proposed and sufficient design conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It can be shown that the number of LMIs are less than that of previously proposed methods and then feasibility of our method is more likely. The effectiveness of the proposed FTC approach is verified using a nonlinear mass-spring-damper system.

This paper is concerned with the stability problem of nonlinear interconnected systems. Each of them consists of a few interconnected subsystems which are approximated by Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) type fuzzy models. In terms of Lyapunov's direct method, a stability criterion is derived to guarantee the asymptotic stability of interconnected systems. It is shown that the stability analysis problems of nonlinear interconnected systems can be reduced to linear matrix inequality (LMI) problems via suitable Lyapunov functions and T–S fuzzy techniques. Finally, numerical examples with simulations are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.

It has been known that very complex chaotic behaviors can be observed in a simple first-order system with time-delay. This paper presents a fuzzy model-based approach for synchronization of time-delayed chaotic system via a scalar output variable. Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model can represent a general class of nonlinear system and we employ it for fuzzy modeling of the chaotic drive and response system with time-delay. Since only a scalar output variable is available for synchronization, a fuzzy observer based on T–S fuzzy model is designed and applied to chaotic synchronization. We analyze the stability of the overall fuzzy synchronization system by applying Lyapunov–Krasovskii theory and derive stability conditions by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMI's) problem. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed synchronization approach.

This paper presents switching model construction and stability analysis for a class of nonlinear systems. A switching fuzzy model newly developed in this paper is employed to represent the dynamics of a nonlinear system. A key feature of the switching fuzzy model construction is to find the so-called minimum distance sector by solving a nonlinear optimization problem. Next, we discuss the stability of a switching fuzzy model. To take advantage of the switching fuzzy model, we introduce a piecewise Lyapunov function that mirrors its structure. We show that the piecewise Lyapunov function approach provides less conservative results for the typical quadratic Lyapunov function approach. Illustrative examples demonstrate the utility of the switching model construction and the stability analysis.

This paper studies the stability analysis of discrete time-varying system with parameter uncertainties and disturbances. The system under consideration is subject to time-varying non-bounded parameter uncertainties in both the state and measured output matrices. To facilitate the stability analysis, the T-S fuzzy model is employed to represent the discrete-time nonlinear system. A fuzzy observer is used to guarantee the Lyapunov stability of the closed-loop system and reduces the effect of the disturbance input on the controlled output to a prescribed level for all admissible uncertainties. The control and observer matrices can be obtained by directly solving a set of linear matrix inequality (LMI) via the existing LMI optimization techniques. Finally, an example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
