One of the main goals in the operation of a cupola furnace is to keep the molten iron properties within prescribed bounds while maintaining the most economical operation for the cupola. We present a procedure to obtain the nominal values for the manipulated process variables. The nominal values are calculated by solving a constrained nonlinear programming optimization problem. Two different optimization problems are discussed and examples for using the procedure are presented.

In this paper we address the problem of designing simple global tracking controllers for a kinematic model of a mobile robot and a simple dynamic model of a mobile robot. For this we use a cascaded systems approach, resulting into linear controllers that yield global K-exponential stability of the closed loop system.

The "nested" structure of the control system for the X33 vehicle in launch mode is developed. The outer loop (guidance) and the inner loop (rates) continuous sliding mode controllers are designed. Simulations of the 3-DOF model of the X33 launch vehicle showed an accurate, robust, de-coupled tracking performance.

We present some final results from a research project focused on introducing automatic control to the operation of cupola iron furnaces. The main aim of this research is to improve the operational efficiency and performance of the cupola furnace. Experimental data are used to calibrate the model, which is taken as a first-order multivariable system with time delay. Then relative gain analysis is used to select loop pairings to be used in a multiloop controller. The resulting controller pairs melt-rate with blast volume, iron temperature with oxygen addition, and carbon composition with metal-to-coke ratio. Special (nonlinear) filters are used to compute the melt-rate from actual scale readings of the amount of iron produced and to smooth the temperature measurement. The temperature and melt-rate loops use single-loop PI control. The composition loop uses a Smith predictor to discount the deadtime associated with mass transport through the furnace. Experiments results validate the conceptual controller design.

This paper examines fundamental design tradeoffs that apply to all linear filtering, prediction, and smoothing problems, We introduce sensitivity functions that quantify filter performance, and we show that their frequency response satisfies constraints imposed by unstable poles and nonminimum phase zeros of the system, The constraints allow one to determine, a priori, whether or not a desired filter performance is attainable and how different arrangements of the measurement system influence the achievable performance.
