A hydraulic actuated clutch control system for commercial cars is analyzed. The design of closed-loop controller is presented, based on a simplified. system model. A physical full-order model is also described and used to assess through computer simulations the dependence of the closed-loop system performances on some plant andcontroller key parameters. Selected performance indexes are gear shift timing and position tracking error and it results that they are mostly affected by two key parameters: oil pipeline length andcontroller sampling time. The resulting dependencies can be used to set performances and cost specifications for both plant configuration and electronic control unit. Experimental tests performed with different plant andcontroller configurations are reported. They closely match the simulation results, showing the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Results on stabilizing receding horizon control of sampled-data nonlinear systems via their approximate discrete-time models are presented. The proposed receding horizon control is based on the solution of Bolza-type optimal control problems for the parametrized family of approximate discrete-time models. This paper investigates both situations when the sampling period T is fixed and the integration parameter h used in obtaining approximate model can be chosen arbitrarily small, and when these two parameters coincide but they can be adjusted arbitrary. Sufficient conditions are established which guarantee that the controller that renders the origin to be asymptotically stable for the approximate model also stabilizes the exact discrete-time model for sufficiently small integration and/or sampling parameters.

This paper presents the effects of the torque model on the control of a variable reluctance spherical motor (VRSM) that offers several attractive features by combining multi-DOF motions in a single joint. A general form of the torque model for a VRSM is derived using the principle of energy conversion. The torque models for two specific design configurations developed at Georgia Tech are compared. The first has been based on an existing design characterized by a torque model in quadratic form. For feedback control of the spherical motor, the quadratic form of the torque model requires the use of nonlinear optimization schemes for computing the stator coil current inputs. The seconddesign incorporating high coercive permanent magnets has a linear torque-current relationship and thus allows a closed form solution for both forward and inverse torque models. The effects of the torque model on a PD-controlled-VRSM prototype has been studied both numerically and experimentally. Experimental results agree well with the computation derived analytically.

After discussing various principles of suspensions with variable dampers and springs as well as active components, mathematical models of these systems are derived. It is shown how the unknown parameters can be obtained experimentally through parameter estimation by using body accelerometers, wheel accelerometers, and suspension deflection sensors in different combinations. Experimental results are described for suspensions on a test rig and in cars driving over road surfaces. Through recursive parameter estimation these parameters can be obtained on-line in real time. Then, feedback principles are derived for controlling the damping ratio of dampers with proportional magnetic valve actuators. The mathematical models are then used for fault detection and diagnosis of the damper by combining parameter estimation and parity equation methods. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper develops repetitive controldesign and analysis for back stepping-controlled non-linear systems. To precisely track periodic trajectories for nonlinear systems, back stepping control is first designed to render closed-loop stability and, in theory, asymptotic tracking performance. However, due to the sensitivity to the unmodelled dynamics and plant variations, asymptotic tracking performance is usually not feasible. Thus, repetitive control is applied over the back stepping-controlled system to restore asymptotic tracking performance. This approach is applied to an electrohydraulic material testing system, in which the material specimen present substantial nonlinear force and displacement relationship. The back stepping control employs both feedback and feedforward actions to render linearized I/O plant and thus the outer loop repetitive controldesign can be based on the compensated linear system. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper considers settling control of a recording head for a dual actuator system for hard disk drives consisting of a coarse actuator (voice coil motor, VCM) and a fine actuator (peizoelectric transducer. PZT). The design method proposed in this paper is called the dual actuator reference trajectory re-design (RTRD). In this method, the design is divided into three steps. In the first step, the coarse actuator loop is designed to achieve stability and basic performance. In the second step, the fine actuator path is designed by loop shaping for superior performance of the overall system. Finally, the reference signals are generated for both the coarse and fine actuators by minimizing the square integral of jerk during the transition. The reference signals are updated or redesigned in real Lime as the recording head approaches the target track for smooth landing and minimal residual vibration. The "soft switching" technique is applied for gradually introducing the fine actuator (PZT actuator), which may shorten the settling time and achieve a smooth settling response. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated by simulations. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents a comparison of control algorithms for actively stabilised wheelsets on high speed railway vehicles. Both intuitively derived classical strategies and modern optimal strategies are considered. Computer simulations are used to assess and compare the performance of the strategies in terms of their ability to provide stability across a range of operating conditions, for a range of parameter uncertainty and also in terms of their actuator requirements. Actuator models are also developed, not only to properly assess the impact of actuator dynamics on the active stability system performance, but also to further quantify and refine the actuator requirements needed to implement the system practically. The concept has been implemented practically on a full-size vehicle and some preliminary experimental results are included. Although the paper concentrates upon stability control, some observations are included regarding the integration of steering controllers. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Energy shaping and passivity-based controldesigns have proven to be effective in solving control problems for underactuated mechanical systems. In recent works, interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) has been successfully applied to open-loop conservative models, that is, with no physical damping (e.g. friction) present. In a number of cases, in particular when IDA-PBC control only involves potential energy shaping, the actual presence of physical damping will not compromise the achieved closed-loop stability. However, when IDA-PBC control also includes the shaping of the kinetic energy, closed-loop stability or even passivity for the model without physical damping may be lost if physical damping is present. This raises two fundamental questions. First, in which cases is the IDA-PBC controlled system designed on the basis of the undamped model still stable and passive when physical damping is present? Second, if this is not the case, when is it possible to redesign the IDA-PBC control law for the undamped systems such that stability and passivity are regained? This paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a control redesign for a particular choice of the closed-loop energy function. Furthermore, if these conditions are satisfied then two methods for redesign are presented, which can be chosen depending on the problem structure and the parameter uncertainties. Finally, even in the cases where the addition of physical damping does not hamper the stability properties of the IDA-PBC design based on the undamped model, we show that the aforementioned redesign is still useful in order to reduce the mathematical complexity in exponential and asymptotic stability analysis.

In this paper, two robust adaptive control algorithms are proposed for friction compensation in high performance machine tools. The first controller utilizes an adaptive friction compensation scheme based on a postulated linear-in-the-parameters friction model. The proposed friction compensation algorithm explicitly accounts for time varying normal forces as well as dependence of the friction coefficient on velocity. The Stribeck friction characteristic :and variations in, static friction are treated as bounded disturbances, and compensated for by adaptive bounding functions. In the secondcontroller, a special form of the Takagi-Sulgeno fuzzy system is utilized to adaptively learn unknown friction behavior and compensate for it. This approach assumes that no a priori knowledge about frictional effects in the-strut joints is available. The proposed controllers are compared based on simulation and experimental results of tracking performance at low speeds, since frictional effects dominate strut dynamics at low speeds. The results indicate that the large tracking errors caused by friction at the velocity reversals when conventional control algorithms are used, are reduced greatly by the adaptive controllers. Instability of the igradient-type adaptive algorithms is observed when the adaptation rate is high. Inclusion of a dead-zone modification of the adaptive laws eliminates the instability.
