We propose a new switching control scheme for a ball and beam system by utilizing two linearization methods. First, the Jacobian linearization is applied and state observer is developed afterward. Then, motivated [6], the approximate input-output linearization is carried out, and after that, the Jacobian linearization is applied along with the design of state observer. Since the second approach requires two linearizations, it is called a two-step linearization method. The state observer is needed for the estimation of the velocities of ball and motor movement. Since the Jacobian linearization based controller tends to provide faster response at the initial time, and after that, the two-step linearization based controller tends to provide better response in terms of output overshoot and convergence to the origin, it is natural to give a switching control scheme to provide the best overall control response. The validity of our control scheme is shown in both simulation and experimental results.

The problem we consider in this paper is more demanding than the problem of input-output linearization with state equivalence recently solved by Cheng, Isidori, Respondek, and Tarn. We request that the MIMO nonlinear system, for which the problem of input-output linearization with state-equivalence is solvable, can be decoupled. In exchange for further requirement like this, our problem produces more usable and informative results than the problem of input-output linearization with state-equivalence. We present the necessary and sufficient conditions for our problem to be solvable. We characterize each of the nonlinear systems satisfying these conditions by a set of parameters which are invariant under the group action of state feedback and transformation. Using this set of parameters, we can determine directly the unique one, among the canonical forms of decouplable and controllable linear systems, to which a nonlinear system can be transformed via appropriate state feedback and transformation. Finally, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions for our problem to be solvable with internal stability, that is, for stable decoupling.

In this paper, a novel feedback linearization is proposed for discrete-time nonlinear systems described by discrete-time T-S fuzzy models. The local linear models of a T-S fuzzy model are transformed to a controllable canonical form respectively, and their T-S fuzzy combination results in a feedback linearizable Tagaki-Sugeno fuzzy model. Based on this model, a nonlinear state feedback linearizing input is determined. Nonlinear state transformation is inferred from the linear state transformations for the controllable canonical forms. The proposed method of this paper is more intuitive and easier to understand mathematically compared to the well-known feedback linearization technique which requires a profound mathematical background. The feedback linearizable condition of this paper is also weakened compared to the conventional feedback linearization. This means that larger class of nonlinear systems is linearizable compared to the case of classical linearization.

The spherical CVT, intended to overcome some of the limitations of existing CVT designs, is marked by its simple kinematic design, improved efficiency of the shift actuator, and IVT characteristics, i.e., the ability of smooth transition between the forward, neutral, and reverse states without the need for any brakes or clutches. And it has been promised much possibility of energy savings and various applications for small power capacity machinery. Due to the nonlinearity of the spherical CVT shifting dynamics, however the original open-loop system is inherently unstable. Hence a feedback controller is necessary to make the system stable and to achieve effective tracking performance. To do this, we designed a feedback controller that cancels nonlinearities and transforms the original nonlinear system dynamics into a stable and controllable linear one, based on the input-state linearization method.

A feedback linearization controller for EMS system is implemented using DSP. In this paper, we show that given EMS system is input-state linearizable and satisfies some robustness condition. Also we derive feedback linearization controller for given system. Finally, some experiments are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed controller-especially, comparing this with the classical state feedback controller using linear perturbation.

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust stabilization of uncertain single-input and single-output nonlinear systems. Based on the input/output linearization approach for nonlinear state feedback synthesis in conjunction with Lyapunov methods, a stabilizing state feedback controller is proposed. Compared with the controllers reported in the control literature, instead of uniform ultimate boudedness, the controller proposed in this paper can guarantee uniform asymptotic stability of nonlinear systems in the presence of uncertainties. The required information about uncertain dynamics in the system is only that the uncertainties are bounded in Euclidean norm by known functions of the system state.

In order to linearize the nonlinear systems, two different methods(i.e. state coordinate change and feedback) are usually used. In this paper, we consider the multi-input discrete-time nonlinear systems and obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for both the linearization problem by state-coordinate change and the feedback linearization problem. The way of finding state coordinate change and state feedback which linearize the given system is also given in the proof.

In this paper, we propose a T-S fuzzy feedback linearization method for controlling a non-linear system with multi-input, and the method is applied for trajectory tracking control of wheeled mobile robot. First, an error dynamic equation of wheeled mobile robot is represented by a T-S fuzzy model, and then the T-S fuzzy model is transformed to a linear control system through the nonlinear fuzzy coordinate change and the nonlinear state feedback input. Simulation results showed that the trajectory tracking controller by using the proposed multi-input feedback linearization method gives better performance than the trajectory tracking controller by using the PDC(Parallel Distributed Compensation) method for controlling the T-S Fuzzy system.

This study suggests a trajectory tracking controller composed of an input output linearization compensator and a linear controller. The input output linearization compensator is derived from the nonlinear equations of a pneumatic control system and it algebraically transforms a nonlinear system dynamics into a linear one, so that input output characteristics of the control system is linearized regardless of the variation of the operating point and linear control techniques can be applied. The results of nonlinear simulations show that the proposed controller tracks the given trajectories more accurately than a state feedback controller does.
