Development of a closed-loop testing method for a next-generation terminal area automation system Tập 2 - Trang 1325-1330 vol.2 - 2002
J.E. Robinson, D.R. Isaacson
A next-generation air traffic decision support tool, known as the active final approach spacing tool (aFAST), will generate heading, speed and altitude commands to achieve more precise separation of aircraft in the terminal area. The techniques used to analyze the performance of earlier generation decision support tools are not adequate to analyze the performance of aFAST. The paper summarizes the...... hiện toàn bộ

Disturbance rejection for nonlinear systems Tập 5 - Trang 3484-3489 vol.5 - 2002
Zongxuan Sun, Tsu-Chin Tsao
Tracking or rejection of unknown exogenous signals with known generating dynamics is of major concern in feedback control design. Linear feedback control based on the internal model principle achieves asymptotic performance for linear systems with linear exogenous signal dynamics. This paper presents a control design based on the internal model principle to track or reject nonlinear exogenous sign...... hiện toàn bộ

Transition control using multiple adaptive models and an H-infinity controller design Tập 4 - Trang 2621-2626 vol.4 - 2002
Z. Tian, K.A. Hoo
By transition control, it is meant a type of control method that is employed when the plant transitions from one operating state to another as a result of a set point change. This work proposes and develops an intelligent adaptive multiple model approach that simultaneously adapts the model and an H/sub /spl infin// controller parameters. The method is demonstrated on a non-linear chemical reactor...... hiện toàn bộ

Real-time identification of an induction motor using sinusoidal PWM voltage signals Tập 4 - Trang 3082-3087 vol.4 - 2002
A.T. Zaremba, A.V. Pavlov
In this paper, a novel technique is presented for real-time identification of induction motor (IM) parameters. The method is based on the IM model in the synchronously rotating frame and utilizes sinusoidal PWM voltage signals for parameter identification tests. The proposed algorithm provides accurate estimation of the stator and rotor parameters based on stator current measurement and voltage co...... hiện toàn bộ

Switched feedback control for first-order symmetric affine systems via time-state control form Tập 3 - Trang 2516-2521 vol.3 - 2002
Y. Iwatani, M. Ishikawa, S. Hara
This paper proposes a switching control strategy for a class of symmetric affine systems whose accessibility Lie algebras are spanned by the input vector fields and their first order Lie brackets. The key idea here is to decompose a given system into several (chained) subsystems, and then to apply a conventional control method for these subsystems in sequence. As for the conventional part, we adop...... hiện toàn bộ

Input-output pseudolinearization on controlled invariant submanifolds Tập 1 - Trang 555-560 vol.1
D.A. Lawrence
The original notion of input-output pseudolinearization on equilibrium submanifolds is extended to general controlled invariant submanifolds for nonlinear systems. Input-output pseudolinearizing feedback laws render the input-output behavior of linearizations about nominal trajectories in the submanifold trajectory-independent and equal to that of a fixed linear time-invariant system, thereby faci...... hiện toàn bộ

Nanoradian digital stabilization of a suspended table for scientific experiments Tập 6 - Trang 4946-4947 vol.6 - 2002
E. Canuto
Digital control design of a suspended table for scientific experiments is presented. The problem was suggested by an experiment to measure the universal gravitational constant G. It requires two residual rotations of the table with respect to the horizontal plane to be kept below 1 nrad. The problem was tackled by assuming a 2D inclinometer and accelerometers as transducers. As actuators, linear e...... hiện toàn bộ

Control analysis for non-axisymmetric resistive wall mode stabilization in the DIII-D tokamak Tập 5 - Trang 3790-3795 vol.5 - 2002
C.-M. Fransson, B. Lennartson, D. Humphreys, M. Walker, T. Jensen, A. Garofalo, A. Bondeson
Control schemes and sensor types for the nonaxisymmetric resistive wall mode (RWM) stabilization in the DIII-D tokamak are compared. The analysis is based on a system response model for the RWMs in DIII-D and the modelling uses a toroidal current sheet to represent the plasma surface and a combination of helical and circulating "picture frame" currents to represent the conducting structure. The in...... hiện toàn bộ

Control and modelling concepts in the innovation process Tập 4 - Trang 3371-3376 vol.4 - 2002
P. Wellstead
This paper is concerned with the innovation process and its modem connection with control systems methods. The history of innovation tells us that in the past it required a number of key factors to coincide: economic opportunity, social requirement, technological feasibility and an 'x-factor'. The x-factor is usually associated with a human dimension that moves the whole process forward. Tradition...... hiện toàn bộ

Input/output decoupling problems for high speed trains Tập 1 - Trang 549-554 vol.1
A. Astolfi, L. Menini
Different input/output decoupling problems for a nonlinear model of high speed trains are studied. As it is natural in applications, the input/output decoupling is only one of the requirements, which is to be obtained together with asymptotic stability and asymptotic set point output regulation, in the presence of constant disturbances.
