Their dynamics are multivariable nonlinear systems. In addition,the gliders are underactuated and diffcult to maneuver,and also dependent on their operational environment. To confront these problems and to design an effective controller,the inverse system method was used to decouple the original system into two independent single variable linear subsystems. The stability of the zero dynamics was analyzed,and an additional closed-loop controller for each linear subsystem was designed by sliding mode control method to form a type of composite controller. Simulation results demonstrate that the derived nonlinear controller is able to cope with the aforementioned problems simultaneously and satisfactorily.展开更多

In addition to having such typical nonlinear underactuated property, as it is well known, an offshore ship-mounted crane also suffers from much unexpected persistent disturbances induced by sea waves or currents, which, essentially different from an overhead crane fixed on land, cause much difficulty in modeling and controller design. Inspired by the desire to achieve appropriate control performance against those challenging factors, in this paper, through carefully analyzing the inherent mechanism of the nonlinear dynamics, we first construct a new composite signal to enhance the coupling behavior of the trolley motion as well as the payload swing in the presence of ship′s roll motion disturbance. Based on which, an energy-based coupling control law is presented to achieve asymptotic stability of the crane control system′s equilibrium point. Without any linearization of the complex nonlinear dynamics, unlike traditional feedback controllers, the proposed control law takes a much simpler structure independent of the system parameters. To support the theoretical derivations and to further verify the actual control performance, Lyapunov-based mathematical analysis as well as numerical simulation/experimental results are carried out, which clarify the feasibility and superior performance of the proposed method over complicated disturbances.展开更多

By using input-delay and parallel distributed compensation(PDC) techniques, we establish the Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy model for the system, in which the sampling period of the sampler and signal transmission delay are transformed to the refreshing interval of a zero-order holder(ZOH). By the appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii-based methods, a delay-dependent criterion is derived to ensure the asymptotic stability for the system with IQC performance via the H∞ state feedback control. The efficiency of the method is illustrated on a simulation exampler.展开更多

The backstepping method is one of the methods that can be used during the designing process of a nonlinear course controller for ships. The method has been used for the purpose of designing two configurations of nonlinear controllers, which were then used to control the ship course. One of the configurations took dynamic characteristic of a steering gear into account during the designing stage. The parameters of the obtained nonlinear control structures have been tuned to optimise the operation of the control system. The optimisation process has been performed by means of genetic algorithms. The quality of operation of the designed control algorithms has been checked in simulation tests performed on the mathematical model of a tanker. The results of simulation experiments have been compared with the performance of the system containing a conventional proportional-derivative （PD） controller.展开更多

In this approach, the original high-order coupled nonlinear two-point boundary value problem （TPBVP） derived from the Pontrya- gin＇s maximum principle is first transformed into a sequence of lower-order deeoupled linear time-invariant TPBVPs. Then, an optimal control law which consists of both feedback and forward terms is achieved by using the modal series method for the derived sequence. The feedback term specified by local states of each subsystem is determined by solving a ma- trix Riccati differential equation. The forward term for each subsystem derived from its local information is an infinite sum of adjoint vectors. The convergence analysis and parallel processing capability of the proposed approach are also provided. To achieve an accurate feedforward-feedbaek suboptimal control, we apply a fast iterative algorithm with low com- putational effort. Finally, some comparative results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

The NIRC consists of a first-order resonant integrator that provides additional damping in a closed-loop system response to reduce highamplitude nonlinear vibration around the fundamental resonance frequency. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain an approximate solution for the closed-loop system.Then closed-loop system stability is investigated using the resulting modulation equation. Finally, the effects of different control system parameters are illustrated and an approximate solution response is verified via numerical simulation results.The advantages and disadvantages of the proposed controller are presented and extensively discussed in the results. The controlled system via the NIRC shows no high-amplitude peaks in the neighboring frequencies of the resonant mode,unlike conventional second-order compensation methods.This makes the NIRC controlled system robust to excitation frequency variations.展开更多

The symplectic ...This paper proposes a system representation for unifying control design and numerical calculation in nonlinear optimal control problems with inequality constraints in terms of the symplectic structure. The symplectic structure is derived from Hamiltonian systems that are equivalent to Hamilton-Jacobi equations. In the representation, the constraints can be described as an input-state transformation of the system. Therefore, it can be seamlessly applied to the stable manifold method that is a precise numerical solver of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations. In conventional methods, e.g., the penalty method or the barrier method, it is difficult to systematically assign the weights of penalty functions that are used for realizing the constraints. In the proposed method, we can separate the adjustment of weights with respect to objective functions from that of penalty functions. Furthermore, the proposed method can extend the region of computable solutions in a state space. The validity of the method is shown by a numerical example of the optimal control of a vehicle model with steering limitations.展开更多

Based on calculus of variations and the first-order necessary optimality condition, the RHC problem for linear time-varying （LTV） system is transformed into the two-point boundary value problem （TPBVP）. The Radau pseudospectral approximation is employed to discretize the TPBVP into well-posed linear algebraic equations. The resulting linear algebraic equations are solved via a matrix partitioning approach afterwards to obtain the optimal feedback control law. For the nonlinear system, the linearization method or the quasi linearization method is employed to approximate the RHC problem with successive linear approximations. Subsequently, each linear problem is solved via the similar method which is used to solve the RHC problem for LTV system. Simulation results of three examples show that the IRPM is of high accuracy and of high compu- tation efficiency to solve the RHC problem and the stability of closed-loop systems is guaranteed.展开更多
