The State-Dependant Riccati Equation method has been frequently used to design suboptimal controllers applied to nonlinear dynamic systems. Different methods for local stability analysis of SDRE controlled systems of order greater than two such as the attitude dynamics of a general rigid body have been extended in literature; however, it is still difficult to show global stability properties of...

For a linear time-invariant system with a feedback controller, the closed-loop eigenvalues perturb due to system uncertainties. Given an allowable tolerance for the closed-loop eigenvalue perturbation, an algorithm is developed to obtain a state feedback controller that maximizes the uncertainty tolerance of the open-loop system matrix. The design procedure is based on an existing eigenvalue as...

this paper proposes a new mixed integer programming model for multi-item capacitated lot-sizing problem with setup times, safety stock and demand shortages in closed-loop supply chains. the returned products from customers can either be disposed or be remanufactured to be sold as new ones again. due to the complexity of problem, three meta-heuristics algorithms named simulated annealing (sa) al...

This paper considers closed-loop quadratic stability and 2 performance properties of linear control systems subject to input saturation. More specifically, these properties are examined within the context of the popular linear antiwindup augmentation paradigm. Linear antiwindup augmentation refers to designing a linear filter to augment a linear control system subject to a local specification, ...

U NDER the assumptions that a plant is completely deterministic and perfectly modeled, either open-loop compensation or closed-loop compensation can be used to achieve a desired overall design. However, the assumptions of determinism and perfect modeling are never satisfied in practice. When these assumptions do not hold, feedback control systems can possess properties such as stability, sensit...

In this paper, stabilization of the structural system against earthquake is presented. Because the conventional PD controller is popular and simple in design, our controller is based on PD controller. The main problem of such a controller is its inability to produce desired response and instability against variations in the properties of the structural system. To obviate this issue, the neu...

Contingency planning is the first stage in developing a formal set of production planning and control activities for the reuse of products obtained via return flows in a closed-loop supply chain. The paper takes a contingency approach to explore the factors that impact production planning and control for closed-loop supply chains that incorporate product recovery. A series of three cases are pr...
