This work investigates an application of interpolating gain-scheduling control for a structural acoustic problem. The dynamics of the system under consideration are highly sensitive to variation in the temperature. Therefore, linear time invariant H2 output feedback controllers are designed for different temperature conditions. Afterwards, these controllers are interpolated to provide a global ...

Fuzzy gain-scheduling is a special form of model-based fuzzy control that uses linguistic rules and fuzzy reasoning to determine the controller parameter transition policy for a dynamic plant subject to large changes in its operating state. Issues of stability and overall dynamic behavior are resolved using conventional modern control techniques. The design of a fuzzy gain-scheduling controller...

The work reported in this paper is aimed at achieving aggressive manoeuvrability for an unmanned helicopter APID MK-III by Scandicraft AB in Sweden. The manoeuvrability problem is treated at the level of attitude (pitch, roll, yaw) and the aim is to achieve stabilization of the attitude angles within much larger ranges than currently available. We present a novel fuzzy gain scheduling control a...

AbstructThis paper presents a gain scheduling based approach to the design of fuzzy controllers. We demonstrate that the Sugeno fuzzy controller is in fact a special case of gain scheduling where the feedback gains are adjusted (“scheduled”) via membership functions in fuzzy if-then rules. When the desired gains at various operating points are available, we can apply the ANFIS learning algorith...

This paper describes the development of a fuzzy gain scheduling scheme of PID controllers for process control. Fuzzy rules and reasoning are utilized on-line to determine the controller parameters based on the error signal and its first difference. Simulation results demonstrate that better control performance can be achieved in comparison with ZieglerNichols controllers and Kitamori’s PID cont...

State-feedback gain-scheduling controller synthesis with guaranteed performance is considered in this brief. Practical assumption has been considered in the sense that scheduling parameters are assumed to be uncertain. The contribution of this paper is the characterization of the control synthesis that parameterized linear matrix inequalities (PLMIs) to synthesize robust gain-scheduling control...

Stream control has recently attracted attentions in the research of MIMO wireless networks as a potential way to improve network capacity. However, inappropriate use of stream control may significantly degrade network capacity as well. In this paper, we provide the first formal study on stream control scheduling in MIMO wireless mesh networks. We derive the theoretical upper bound on network ca...

Inherent nonlinearities like, deadband, stiction and hysteresis in control valves degenerate plant performance. Valve stiction standouts as a more widely recognized reason for poor execution in control loops. Measurement of valve stiction is essential to maintain scheduling. For industrial scenarios, loss of execution due to nonlinearity in control valves is an imperative issue that should be t...

We propose a method of interpolating linear time-invariant controllers with observer state feedback structure in order to generate a continuously-varying family of controllers that stabilizes a family of linear plants. Gain scheduling is a motivation for this work, and the interpolation method yields guidelines for the design of gain scheduled controllers. The scheduling method is illustrated w...

Abstract – The modeling and control of 3 Degrees-of-Freedom (DOF) four-rotor rotorcraft is presented in this paper. Optimal control (LQR), LQR with gain scheduling, feedback linearization and sliding-mode control are simulated and tested on an experimental rig. The performance of the individual controllers are compared and discussed. Our simulation showed Sliding Mode Control (SMC) returned the...
