Discrete-time static output-feedback H<inf>∞</inf> controller design for vehicle suspensions

2014

This paper provides a direct and practical presentation of a novel methodology for static output-feedback controller design. The proposed design strategy has been successfully applied in the fields of control systems for seismic protection of large buildings and multi-building structures, control of offshore wind turbines, and active control of vehicle suspensions. The positive results obtained in these initial applications clearly indicate that this approach could be an effective tool in a large variety of control problems, for which an LMI formulation of the statefeedback version of the problem is available. The main objective of the paper is to facilitate a brief and friendly presentatio…

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…

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…

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…

Robust fault-tolerant H∞ control of active suspension systems with finite-frequency constraint

Abstract In this paper, the robust fault-tolerant (FT) H ∞ control problem of active suspension systems with finite-frequency constraint 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 disturbances are considered in the controller synthesis. As the human body is more sensitive to the vertical vibration in 4–8 Hz, robust H ∞ control with this finite-frequency constraint is designed. Other performances such as suspension deflection and actuator saturation are also considered. As some of the states such as the sprung mass pitch and roll angles are hard to m…

Quantized State-Feedback Stabilization for Delayed Markovian Jump Linear Systems with Generally Incomplete Transition Rates

2014

Published version of an article in the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/961925 open Access This paper is concerned with the robust quantized state-feedback controller design problem for a class of continuous-time Markovian jump linear uncertain systems with general uncertain transition rates and input quantization. The uncertainties under consideration emerge in both system parameters and mode transition rates. This new uncertain model is more general than the existing ones and can be applicable to more practical situations because each transition rate can be completely unknown or only its estimate value is known. B…

Robust fault tolerant tracking controller design for a VTOL aircraft

2013

This paper deals with the fault tolerant control (FTC) design for a Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) aircraft subject to external disturbances and actuator faults. The aim is to synthesize a fault tolerant controller ensuring trajectory tracking for the nonlinear uncertain system represented by a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model. In order to design the FTC law, a proportional integral observer (PIO) is adopted which estimate both of the faults and the faulty system states. Based on the Lyapunov theory and ℓ2 optimization, the trajectory tracking performance and the stability of the closed loop system are analyzed. Sufficient conditions are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). …

Stabilization and controller design of 2D discrete switched systems with state delays under asynchronous switching

2013

Published version of a paper from the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from Hindawi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/961870. Open Access This paper is concerned with the problem of robust stabilization for a class of uncertain two-dimensional (2D) discrete switched systems with state delays under asynchronous switching. The asynchronous switching here means that the switching instants of the controller experience delays with respect to those of the system. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. A state feedback controller is proposed to guarantee the exponential stability. The dwell time approach is utilized for the stability analysis and controller …

H∞ fuzzy control of DC-DC converters with input constraint

2012

Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/973082 Open access This paper proposes a method for designing H∞ fuzzy control of DC-DC converters under actuator saturation. Because linear control design methods do not take into account the nonlinearity of the system, a T-S fuzzy model and a controller design approach is used. The designed control not only handles the external disturbance but also the saturation of duty cycle. The input constraint is first transformed into a symmetric saturation which is represented by a polytopic model. Stabilization conditions for the H∞ state feedba…

Semiglobal practical integral input-to-state stability for a family of parameterized discrete-time interconnected systems with application to sampled…

2015

Abstract Semiglobal practical integral input-to-state stability (SP-iISS) for a feedback interconnection of two discrete-time subsystems is given. We construct a Lyapunov function from the sum of nonlinearly-weighted Lyapunov functions of individual subsystems. In particular, we consider two main cases. The former gives SP-iISS for the interconnected system when both subsystems are semiglobally practically integral input-to-state stable. The latter investigates SP-iISS for the overall system when one of subsystems is allowed to be semiglobally practically input-to-state stable. Moreover, SP-iISS for discrete-time cascades and a feedback interconnection including a semiglobally practically i…
