This paper explores the idea of using heat as an actuator to simultaneously control vibration and temperature of a thermoelastic beam. We first model the beam as a slender, uniform cantilever beam of rectangular cross-section subject to heat through heat patches on the lower and upper surfaces at some discrete spanwise locations. The governing equations of the model are two coupled partial differential equations: one governing the elastic bending displacement and one governing the two-dimensional heat conduction of the beam. Through a discretization, the partial differential equations are replaced by a set of ordinary differential equations in a compact state-space form. We show that the coupling is actually between elastic displacement and those components of temperature contributing to the thickness-wise gradient at the midplane. The linear quadratic regulator in conjunction with the Kalman–Bucy filter is used for the control design to simultaneously damp out the displacement and the gradient. In a numerical example, we show the presence of thermoelastic damping due to the coupling. We also show that the displacement and gradient can simultaneously be controlled by using displacement measurements only, and that for less control effort it is also necessary to include some temperature measurements in the feedback.

Modeling and control of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) has become a very popular research topic lately due to the increasing use of renewable energy. Despite this fact, most of the work in the current literature only studies standard dynamical models without taking into consideration possible parasitics such as small gas flow perturbations that could be available in the system. This paper addresses this issue by elaborating on time-scale modeling of an augmented eighteenth-order PEMFC-reformer system via singular perturbation theory. The latter captures time scales that arise in the model due to the presence of small perturbations. Specifically, a novel and efficient algorithm that helps identify the presence of different time-scales is developed. In addition, the method converts an implicit singularly perturbed model into an explicit equivalent where the time-scales are evident. Using this algorithm, a complete singularly perturbed dynamic model of the augmented eighteenth-order PEMFC-reformer system is obtained. Modeling of the PEMFC-reformer system is followed by linear quadratic regulator (LQR) design for the individual time-scales present in the system.
