Structural information of a system/controller allows a designer to diagnose performance characteristics in advance and to make better choices of solution methods. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is a powerful structural analysis tool that has been applied to linear systems and controller designs, but it has not been used for nonlinear systems. In this paper, SVD is use to structurally analyze and to optimally design nonlinear control systems using the linear algebraic equivalence of the nonlinear controller. Specifically, SVD is used to identify control input/output mode shapes, and the control input/output distribution patterns are analyzed with the mode shapes. Optimizing control effort and performance is achieved by truncating some mode shapes in the linear mode shape combinations.

Abstract A computer-aided design method for modifying the mechanical structure of electro-mechanical systems, eg. robots and positioning systems, is presented in this paper. The pole-zero locations and other system characteristics are represented in relation to the structural geometry by using a finite element method. The inverse problem of determining a geometry which will yield better dynamic characteristics is formulated and solved. Based on sensitivity analysis and the singular value decomposition of the sensitivity matrix, useful information is provided to the designer for making effective design changes and understanding trade-offs among multiple system characteristics to be improved. This decomposition also provides us with a new type of geometric design mode-shapes that characterizes all possible design changes affecting system characteristics. The design methodology is implemented to develop a computer-aided structure modification system. A design example of a flexible robot arm demonstrates the usefulness of the system.

Structural information of a system/controller allows a designer to diagnose performance characteristics in advance and to make better choices of solution methods. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is a powerful structural analysis tool for linear systems, but it has not been applied to nonlinear systems. In this paper, SVD is used to structurally analyze and to optimally design nonlinear control systems using the linear algebraic equivalence of the nonlinear controller. Specifically, SVD is used to identify control input/output mode shapes, and the control input/output distribution patterns are analyzed using the mode shapes. Optimizing control effort and performance is achieved by truncating some mode shapes in the linear mode shape combinations. The proposed method is applied to the temperature control of a thermal system, and design guidelines are provided to overcome input-constraint-violating solutions.
