This paper proposes an algorithm for switching LQ(Linear Quadratic) controllers designed at each flight envelope without a bump phenomenon. This algorithm is derived to apply to LQ controller more easily than existing implementation algorithm and is proposed to consider trim points of nonlinear models, which is adequate to real applications. This paper exemplifies the control performance improvement via simulations applied to LQ control of a supersonic test aircraft as a benchmark problem to test the proposed algorithm performance.

This paper studies the problem of pole placement by an LQ controller for system having two distinct real poles. Using the so-called Pole's Moving Range (PMR) drawn in the s-plane and relational equations between closed-loop system poles and weighting matrices, we calculate the state weighting matrix to move two distinct real poles to a pair of complex poles. By numerical examples, we show that the proposed method is applied to improve system performance.

This paper presents an optimal robust LQ-PID controller design method for the second order system with time-delay to meet design specifications. By LQR formulation of the second order system with time-delay, the tuning parameters of PID controller are related by weighting factors Q and R of cost function. The selection of weighting factors Q and R are chosen to satisfy such the design specifications as overshoot and settling time.

A robust multivariable controller is synthesized for tandem cold mills. A blocked-noninteracting control method is applied for simplifying the structure of rolling control systems. And, a loop-shaping LQ control method is applied for maintaining the variation of the thickness and tension of each rolling stand as small as possible. In this paper, the effects of the design parameter on loop-shaping and the number of control inputs are evaluated. The simulation results show that the thickness and tension control accuracy of tandem cold mills can be improved by the blocked-noninteracting and compensated loop-shaping LQ controller.

In this paper, we propose the LQ servo control method for the automatic train control of urban rail vehicle. Structures of the conventional PID control and LQ servo controller are compared in order to demonstrate the simplicity of the proposed controller which doesn't have zeros of the closed loop systems. The energy consumption is dealt with as an object function to be minimized, which consists of the quadratic performance indices for optimal control with the input of the feedback linearization. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by the practical example, compared with the conventional PD controller.

The recent amount of container freight continuously has been increased, but the low efficiency of container crane causes jamming frequently in transportation and cargo handling at port. It is required that the working velocity and safety are improved by control of moving the trolley as quick as possible without large overshoot and any residual swing motion of container at the destination. In this paper, a LQ controller for a container crane is proposed to accomplish an optimal design of improved control system for minimizing the swing motion at destination. In this scheme a mathematical model for the system is obtained in state space form. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through computer simulation.

A disturbance rejection controller using eccentricity filtering and LQ control techniques is proposed to alleviate significantly the effect of roll eccentricity in multivariable cold-rolling processes. Fundamental problems such as process time delay inherent in exit thickness measurement and non-stationary characteristics of roll eccentricity signals can be overcome by the proposed control method. The filtered instantaneous estimate of roll eccentricity may be exploited to improve instantaneous estimate of the exit thickness variation based on roll force and roll gap mearsurements, and a feedforward compensator is augmented as a reference for a gaugemeter thickness estimator. And, LQ feedback controller is combined with eccentricity filter for the attenuation of the exit thickness variation due to the entry thickness variation. The simulation results show that eccentricity components have been significantly eliminated and simultaneously other distrubances also have been attenuated.

The levitation system of Maglev is composed with electro-magnet, power supplier, controller and sensor. The complex interactions between above subcomponents define the characteristics of electromagnetic suspension of the vehicle. In this study, to understand the influence of controller on the running performance of Maglev, the new controller based on LQ theory will be designed and be simulated with simplified vehicle model. Then the influence of controller on the characteristics of electromagnetic suspension will be reviewed through comparison with existing control algorithm of our prototype vehicle.
