Design of Robust Active Load-Dependent Vehicular Suspension Controller via Static Output Feedback
2013
Robust Output-Feedback Based Fault-Tolerant Control of Active Suspension with Finite-Frequency Constraint ★ ★This work is partly supported by Nationa…
2015
Abstract In this paper, the H∞ fault-tolerant control (FTC) problem of active suspensions with finite-frequency constraints is investigated. A full-car model is employed in the controller design such that the heave, pitch and roll motions can be simultaneously controlled. Both the actuator faults and external disturbance are considered in the controller design. As the human body is more sensitive to the vertical vibration in 4-8Hz, robust H∞ control with finite frequency constraints is designed. From the practical perspective, a robust dynamic output-feedback controller with fault tolerant ability is proposed, while other performances such as suspension deflection and actuator saturation ar…
Recent Advances in Static Output-Feedback Controller Design with Applications to Vibration Control of Large Structures
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Modeling, Identification and Control. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4173/mic.2014.3.4 Open Access In this paper, we present a novel two-step strategy for static output-feedback controller design. In the first step, an optimal state-feedback controller is obtained by means of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. In the second step, a transformation of the LMI variables is used to derive a suitable LMI formulation for the static output-feedback controller. This design strategy can be applied to a wide range of practical problems, including vibration control of large structures, control of oshore wind turbine…
Static output-feedback controller design for vehicle suspensions: an effective two-step computational approach
2014
In this study, a novel two-step methodology is applied in designing static output-feedback controllers for a class of vehicle suspension systems. Following this approach, an effective synthesis of static output-feedback controllers can be carried out by solving two consecutive linear matrix inequality optimisation problems. To illustrate the main features of the proposed design strategy, two different static output-feedback H 8 controllers are designed for a quarter-car suspension system. The first of those controllers uses the suspension deflection and the sprung mass velocity as feedback information, whereas the second one only requires the sprung mass velocity to compute the control acti…
Static output-feedback control for vehicle suspensions: a single-step linear matrix inequality approach
2013
In this paper, a new strategy to design static output-feedback controllers for a class of vehicle suspension systems is presented. A theoretical background on recent advances in output-feedback control is first provided, which makes possible an effective synthesis of static output-feedback controllers by solving a single linear matrix inequality optimization problem. Next, a simplified model of a quarter-car suspension system is proposed, taking the ride comfort, suspension stroke, road holding ability, and control effort as the main performance criteria in the vehicle suspension design. The new approach is then used to design a static output-feedbackH∞controller that only uses the suspensi…
New results on H∞ dynamic output feedback control for Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay and defective mode information
2013
SUMMARY This paper investigates the problem of delay-dependent H∞ dynamic output feedback control for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs). The systems under consideration are subject to time-varying delay and defective mode information. The defective transition probabilities comprise of three types: exactly known, uncertain, and unknown. By employing a two-term approximation for the time-varying delay, the original MJLSs can be equivalently converted into a feedback interconnection form, which contains a forward subsystem with constant time-delays and a feedback one with norm-bounded uncertainties. Then, based on the scaled small-gain theorem, the problem is there…
H<inf>&#x221E;</inf> synchronization of Markovian jump master-slave systems with delay
2012
The problem of synchronization is investigated for a class of master-slave systems with time-varying delays and Markovian switching parameters. Using an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a synchronization law which includes the master-slave parameters is established for designing a mode-dependent output feedback control law in terms of LMIs. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the method.
An Output Feedback Control Design for $$ {\rm H}_\infty $$ Synchronization of Master-Slave Markovian Jump Systems with Time-Varying Delays
2012
In this chapter, an output feedback control proach is proposed for exponential synchronization problem of master slave systems with both discrete and distributed time-varying delays and Markovian switching parameters. Using an appropriate Lyapunov Krasovskii functional, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions and a synchronization law which include the master slave parameters are established for designing a mode-dependent output feedback control law in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The controller guarantees the \( {\rm{H}}_\infty \) synchronization of the two coupled master and slave systems regardless of their initial states. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness…

This paper is concerned with the problem of general output feedback stabilization for fractional order linear time-invariant (FO-LTI) systems with the fractional commensurate order0<α<2. The objective is to design suitable output feedback controllers that guarantee the stability of the resulting closed-loop systems. Based on the slack variable method and our previous stability criteria, some new results in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI) are developed to the static and dynamic output feedback controllers synthesis for the FO-LTI system with0<α<1. Furthermore, the results are extended to stabilize the FO-LTI systems with1≤α<2. Finally, robust output feedback control…
Dynamic Output Feedback Passive Control of Uncertain Switched Stochastic Systems with Time-Varying Delay
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from Hindawi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/281747 Open Access This paper is concerned with the issues of passivity analysis and dynamic output feedback (DOF) passive control for uncertain switched stochastic systems with time-varying delay via multiple storage functions (MSFs) method. Firstly, based on the MSFs method, a sufficient condition for the existence of the passivity of the underlying system is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Furthermore, the problem of dynamic output feedback passive control is investigated. Based on the obtained passivity condition, a …
