A new control design methodology is presented here which is based on a nonlinear time-series reference model. It is indicated by highly nonlinear simulations that such designs successfully stabilize troublesome aircraft maneuvers undergoing large changes in angle of attack as well as large electric power transients due to line faults. In both applications, the nonlinear controller was significantly better than the corresponding linear adaptive controller. For the electric power network, a flexible a.c. transmission system (FACTS) with series capacitor power feedback control is studied. A bilinear auto-regressive moving average (BARMA) reference model is identified from system data and the feedback control manipulated according to a desired reference state. The control is optimized according to a predictive one-step quadratic performance index (J). A similar algorithm is derived for control of rapid changes in aircraft angle of attack over a normally unstable flight regime. In the latter case, however, a generalization of a bilinear time-series model reference includes quadratic and cubic terms in angle of attack. These applications are typical of the numerous plants for which nonlinear adaptive control has the potential to provide significant performance improvements. For aircraft control, significant maneuverability gains can provide safer transportation under large windshear disturbances as well as tactical advantages. For FACTS, there is the potential for significant increase in admissible electric power transmission over available transmission lines along with energy conservation. Electric power systems are inherently nonlinear for significant transient variations from synchronism such as may result for large fault disturbances. In such cases, traditional linear controllers may not stabilize the swing (in rotor angle) without inefficient energy wasting strategies to shed loads, etc. Fortunately, the advent of power electronics (e.g., high-speed thyristors) admits the possibility of adaptive control by means of FACTS. Line admittance manipulation seems to be an effective means to achieve stabilization and high efficiency for such FACTS. This results in parametric (or multiplicative) control of a highly nonlinear plant.

This paper is concerned with the design of a suboptimal robust Kalman filter using LMI approach for system models in the state space, which are subjected to parameter uncertainties in both the state and measurement atrices. Under the assumption that augmented system composed of the uncertain system and the state estimation error dynamics should be stable, a Lyapunov inequality is obtained. And from this inequaltiy, the filter design problem can be transformed to the gneric LMI problems i.e., linear objective minimization problem and generalized eigenvalue minimization problem. When applied to uncertain linear system modles, the proposed filter can provide the minimum upper bound of the estimation error variance for all admissible parameter uncertainties.

This paper deals with a robust pole placement method for uncertain linear systems. For all admissible uncertain parameters, a static output feedback controller is designed such that all the poles of the closed loop system are located within the prespecfied disk. It is shown that the existence of a positive definite matrix belonging to a convex set such that its inverse belongs to another convex set guarantees the existence of the output feedback gain matrix for our control problem. By a sequence of convex optimization the aforementioned matrix is obtained. A numerical example is solved in order to illustrate efficacy of our design method.

In [1], E.B. Lee and L. Markus described a sufficient condition for which the domain of null-controllability of a linear autonomous system is all of R$^{n}$ . The purpose of this note is to extend the result to a certain linear nonautonomous system. Thus we consider a linear control system dx/dt = A(t)x+B(t)u in the Eculidean n-space R$^{n}$ where A(t) and B(t) are n*n and n*m matrices, respectively, which are continuous on 0.leq.t<.inf. and A(t) is a periodic matrix of period .omega.. Admissible controls are bounded measurable functions defined on some finite subintervals of [0, .inf.) having values in a certain convex set .ohm. in R$^{m}$ with the origin in its interior. And we present a sufficient condition for which the domain of null-controllability is all of R$^{n}$ .

In this paper, we deal with the problem of delay-dependent robust and non-fragile stabilization for descriptor systems with parameter uncertainties and time-varying delays on the basis of strict LMI(linear matrix inequality) technique. Also, the considering controller is composed of multiplicative uncertainty. The delay-dependent robust and non-fragile stability criterion without semi-definite condition and decomposition of system matrices is obtained. Based on the criterion, the problem is solved via state feedback controller, which guarantees that the resultant closed-loop system is regular, impulse free and stable in spite of all admissible parameter uncertainties, time-varying delays, and controller fragility. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Aluminum brazing normally requires a careful control of temperature due to the small interval between brazing and melting temperatures for base materials. Unsuitable processing conditions, including brazing temperature outside admissible range, gap between brazed materials or inadequate flux feeding, can lead to joining defects. In this study, A357 was used as a filler metal for the brazing of pure aluminum base materials and brazed at temperatures in the semi-solid state. Interface microstructures with base materials were observed using optical metallography(OM) and scanning electron microcopy(SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS), and compared to conventional aluminum brazing.

In this paper, a control problem of the Takagi-Sugeno(TS) fuzzy system with time-varying input delay is considered. It is well known that the delay is one of the major sources responsible for the instability of the controlled system. A systematic design technique is developed based on the Lyapunov-Razumikhin stability theorem. A sufficient condition for the global asymptotic stability of the TS fuzzy systems is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The derived condition can deal with any time-varying input delay within the admissible bound. The effectiveness of the proposed controller design technique is demonstrated by a numerical simulation.

This paper deals with determining the sufficient conditions of minimum for the class of problems in which the necessary conditions of optimum are satisfied in the strengthened form Legendre-Clebsch. To this paper, we shall use the sweep method which analysis the conditions of existence of the conjugated points on the optimal trajectory. The study we have done evaluates the command variation on the neighboring optimal trajectory. The sufficient conditions of minimum are obtained by imposing the positivity of the second variation. The results that this method offers are applied to the problem o the orbital rendez-vous for the linear case of the equations of movement.

This paper presents observer-based virtual sensors for YMC(Yaw Moment Control) systems by differential braking. A high-fidelity empirical model of the hydraulic unit in YMC system was developed for a model-based observer design. Optimal, adaptive, and robust observers were then developed and their estimation accuracy and robustness against model uncertainty were investigated via HILS tests. The HILS results indicate that the proposed disturbance attenuation approach indeed exhibits more satisfactory pressure estimation performance than the other approach with admissible degradation against the predefined model disturbance.

This paper deals with the guaranteed cost control problems for a class of discrete-time linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay. The uncertain systems under consideration depend on time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. We address the existence condition and the design method of the memoryless state feedback control law such that the closed loop system not only is quadratically stable but also guarantees an adequate level of performance for all admissible uncertainties. Through some changes of variables and Schur complement, It is shown that the sufficient condition can be rewritten as an LMI(linear matrix inequality) form in terms of all variables.
