In this paper, a practical controller for a group of USVs is proposed in order to avoid matrix inversion problems in computation. Using nonlinear mapping, a formation composed of nonholonomic agents can be stabilized even when the formation is stationary. Since there is no matrix inversion in computing the control law, the computation complexity can be resolved. A controller for stabilizing the formation errors in the presence of model uncertainty is considered using the Lyapunov redesign method. The asymptotic stability of the formation errors is shown. It is also shown that the proposed controller can be applied to guide a formation to a different shape without modification.

The scope of this paper is focused to the systems which have the time period and they should be necessarily studied in the sense of stability and design method of controller to stabilize the orignal unstable systems. In general, the time periodic systems or the systems having same motions during certain time interval are easily found in rotating motion device, i.e., satellite or helicopter and widely used in factory automation systems. The characteristics of the selected dynamic systems are analyzed with the new stability concept and stabilization control method based on Lyapunov direct method. The new method from Lyapunov stability criteria which satisfies the energy convergence is studied with linear algebraic method. And the numerical procedures are developed with computational programming method to apply to the practical linear periodic systems. The results from this paper demonstrate the usefulness in analysis of the asymptotic stability and stabilization of the unstable linear periodic system by using the developed simulation procedures.

In this paper, an active vibration control of a tensioned elastic axially moving string is investigated. The dynamics of the translating string ale described by a non-linear partial differential equation coupled with an ordinary differential equation. The time varying control in the form of the right boundary transverse motions is suggested to stabilize the transverse vibration of the translating continuum. A control law based on Lyapunov's second method is derived. Exponential stability of the translating string under boundary control is verified. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is shown through the simulations.

결합된 시변 상미분 방정식의 해외 점근적 성질에 관한 연구이다. 리아프노프 직접 방법에 의하면 평등 안정성(uniform stability)만 얻어졌을 경우이지만, 추가적으로 상태 벡터 중 일부가 0으로 점근적 수렴함을 보이는데 있다. 얻어진 결과는 특히 불변원리(invariance principle)가 성립하지 않는 시변 시스템에 유용하다.

The purpose of this paper is the derivation and development of the new definitions and methods for the new estimation of robustness for the systems having structured uncertainties. This proposition adopts the theoretical analysis of the Lyapunov direct methods, that is, the sign properties of the Lyapunov function derivative integrated along finite intervals of time, in place of the original method of the sign properties of the time derivative of the Lyapunov function itself. This is the new sufficient criteria to relax the stability condition and is used to generate techniques for the robust design of control systems with structured perturbations. The systems considered are assumed to be nominally linear, with time-variant, nonlinear bounded perturbations. This new techniques demonstrate the improvement of robustness bounds from the numerical results.

The control objectives in this paper are to move the gantry of a container crane to its target position and to suppress the transverse vibration of the payload. The crane system is modeled as an axially moving string equation, in which control inputs are applied at both ends, through the gantry and the payload. The dynamics of the moving string are derived using Hamilton's principle for systems with changing mass. The Lyapunov function method is used in deriving a boundary control law, in which the Lyapunov function candidate is introduced from the total mechanical energy of the system. The performance of the proposed control law is compared with other two control algorithms available in the literature. Experimental results are given.

The self-excited vibrations of airfoil is related to the classical flutter problems, and it has been studied as a system with linear stiffness and small damping. However, since the actual aircraft wing and the many mechanical elements of airfoil type have various design variables and parameters, some of these could have strong nonlinearities, and the nonlinearities could be unexpectedly strong as the parameters vary. This abrupt chaotic behavior undergoes ordered routes, and the behaviors after these routes are uncontrollable and unexpectable since it is extremely sensitive to initial conditions. In order to study the chaotic behavior of the system, three parameters are considered, i.e., free-stream velocity, elastic distance and zero-lift angle. If the chaotic parameter region can be identified from the mathematically modeled nonlinear differential equation system, the designs which avoid chaotic regions could be suggested. In this study, by using recently developed dynamically system methods, and chaotic regions on the parameter plane will be found and the safe design variables will be suggested.

In this paper, a longitudinal control of the lead vehicle for a platoon in IVHS Regulation Layer is proposed. The backstepping method has been used for the controller design. This method has an advantage in that its stability need not be proven since the controller is designed based on the Lyapunov Function. The control object is that the lead vehicle tracks a reference velocity and maintains a safe distance between the inter-platoons while the followers are keeping the speed of the lead vehicle of a platoon. The coordinate of system is transformed to a new coordinate system for its convenience to design controller. The new coordinate system is composed of error and new error variable. The error is the difference between the safe distance and the actual distance of inter-platoons. A new error variable is the difference between the velocity of vehicle and the estimated state of a system operated by the virtual input. The Lyapunov function is obtained based on the variables of new coordinate system. In the computer simulation, several cases have been studied such as when the lead vehicle is tracking the optimal speed. or a lead vehicle of the following platoon tracks the velocity of the previous platoon while maintaining a safe distance. Also a nonlinear engine time constant case has been investigated. All the simulation results show that the designed controller satisfies the control object sufficiently.
