In this paper, different feedback control strategies are presented for active seismic control using proportional-integral-derivative (PID) type controllers. The parameters of PID controller are found by using an numerical algorithm considering time delay, maximum allowed control force and time domain analyses of shear buildings under different earthquake excitations. The numerical algorithm scans combinations of different controller parameters such as proportional gain ($K_p$), integral time ($T_i$) and derivative time ($T_d$) in order to minimize a defined response of the structure. The controllers for displacement, velocity and acceleration feedback control strategies are tuned for structures with active control at the first story and all stories. The performance and robustness of different feedback controls on time and frequency responses of structures are evaluated. All feedback controls are generally robust for the changing properties of the structure, but acceleration feedback control is the best one for efficiency and stability of control system.

This paper reports a filtered velocity feedback(FVF) controller, which is an alternative to direct velocity feedback(DVFB) controller. The instability problems due to high frequency response under DVFB can be alleviated by the suggested FVF controller. The FVF controller is designed to filter out the unstable high frequency response. The FVF controller and the dynamics of clamped beams under forces and moments are first formulated. The effects of the design parameters(cut-off frequency, gain, and damping ratio) on the stability and the performance are then investigated. The cut-off frequency should be selected not to affect the system stability. The magnitude of the open loop transfer function(OLTF) at the cut-off frequency should be small. As increasing the gain of the FVF controller, the magnitude of the OLTF is increased, so that the closed loop response can be reduced more. The enhancement of the OLTF at the cut-off frequency is reduced but the phase behavior around the cut-off frequency is distorted, as the damping ratio is increased. The control performance is finally estimated for the clamped beam. More than 10 dB reductions in velocity response can be achieved at the modal frequencies from the first to eighth modes.

In this paper, the standard Dole, Glover, Khargoneker, and Francis (abbr. : DGKF 1989) H\ulcorner controller (H\ulcornerC) is extended to the nonlinear feedback linearization-H\ulcorner/sliding mode controller (NFL-H\ulcorner/SMC), to tackle the problem of the unmeasurable state variables as in the conventional SMC, to obtain smooth control as the linearized controller in a linear system, and to improve the time-domain performance under a worst scenario. The proposed controller is obtained by combining the H\ulcorner estimator with the nonlinear feedback linearization-sliding mode controller (NFL-SMC) and it does not need to measure all the state variables as in the traditional SMC. The proposed controller is applied as a nonlinear power system stabilizer (PSS) for the improvement of the power system damping characteristics of an single machine infinite bus system (SMIBS) connected through a double circuit line. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified by nonlinear time-domain simulation in case of a 3-cycle line-to-ground fault and in case of the parameter variations for the AVR gain K\ulcorner and for the inertia moment M.

In ground vehicles, the increasing demand for safety and ride comfort which are trade-off relation, especially at high speeds, has led to the development od actively controlled suspensions. The LQG/LTR controller can be used to design a robust feedback control system that deals with disturbance rejection properties as well as insensitivity to modelling errors and sensor noise. And when the disturbance can not be measured but is limited within a certain frequency range, a bandpass feedback to eliminate the disturbance response can be used. In this paper, hybrid controller cosisted of bandpass feedback controller and LQG/LTR controller is applied to a quarter-car model moving on a randomly profiled road. The random road profile considered as colored noise is shaped from white noise by use of shaping filter. The performance of the hybrid control system is compared with that of an LQG/LTR controlled system.

In this paper, the fuzzy output-feedback controller is addressed for a discrete-time nonlinear interconnected systems with common input. The nonlinear interconnected system is represented by a T-S (Takagi-Sugeno) fuzzy model. Based on T-S fuzzy interconnected system, the fuzzy output-feedback controller is designed with common input. The stability condition of the closed-loop system is represented to the LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) form. PEMFC model is given to show the verification of the controller discussed throughout the paper.

In this paper, we provide the synthesis of non-fragile H$\infty$ output feedback controllers for linear systems with affine parameter uncertainties, and dynamic output feedback controller with structural uncertainty. The sufficient condition of controller existence, the design method of robust and non-fragile H$\infty$ output feedback controller, and the region of controllers which satisfies non-fragility are presented. Also using some change of variables and Schur complements, the obtained condition to a compact set. We show that the resulting controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed ...

In this paper the projective controls, previously derived to preserve the dynamic modes of a state-feedback reference system, are extended to allow the preservation of the modes of a general output-feedback reference system. In general, the extension allows projective controls to be used as a controller approximation technique, where a reduced-order controller is designed to approximate the closed-loop behavior of the higher-order reference controller. This extension is useful if the best available reference control for the system is an output-feedback control. An example shows that the increased design freedom of proposed design method allows the stabilization of a given plant using a lower-order controller than the projective controls with state-feedback reference.

This paper deals with an analysis and design of the state feedback current controller's gain in the three-phase current control systems. First, this paper derives the transfer function of the closed loop current control system and also compares the state feedback current controller with the conventional proportional integral controller. A new pole placement method by using the pole/zero cancellation method is proposed to give a simple and concrete concept with respect to the pole selection. Experimental results on the permanent magnet synchronous motor show that the proposed method is very useful to design the gain of the state feedback current controller.

In this paper, we consider the problem of designing H$\infty$ state feedback controller for the generalized time systems with delayed states and control inputs in continuous and discrete time cases, respectively. The generalized time delay system problems are solved on the basis of LMI(linear matrix inequality) technique considering time delays. The sufficient condition for the existence of controller and H$\infty$ state feedback controller design methods are presented. Also, using some changes of variables and Schur complements, the obtained sufficient condition can be rewritten as a LMI form in terms of transformed variables. The propose controller design method can be extended into the problem of robust H$\infty$ state feedback controller design method easily.
