This paper addresses the control problem of an electrohydraulic velocity servo-system (EHVSS). Two control schemes are proposed for the stabilization of the system. The first scheme is a dynamic sliding mode controller (SMC), and the second scheme is a linear quadratic regulator-like control law which is based on the state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) approach. When applying the SMC techni...

This paper presents a gray box approach for identifying physical parameters of an electromechanical actuator based on frequency response data. A feedforward and Linear-Quadratic Regulator feedback controller was developed to control the EMCV actuator for soft seating. A repetitive learning controller was designed to enhance the control performance through cycleto-cycle iterations. Experimental ...

A semi-active control strategy for suspension systems of passenger cars is presented employing Magnetorheological (MR) dampers. The vehicle is modeled with seven DOFs including the, roll pitch and bounce of car body, and the vertical motion of the four tires. In order to design an optimal controller based on the actuator constraints, a Linear-Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is designed. The design pr...

A framework for the design and simulation of a building envelope and an HVAC system is used to compare advanced control algorithms in terms of energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and computational complexity. Building models are first captured in Modelica [1] to leverage Modelica’s rich building component library and then imported into Simulink [15] to exploit Simulink’s strong control design e...

This paper proposes a method of robust optimal stabilization for balance systems such as rocket and missile systems, Segway human transportation systems, and inverted pendulum systems. Constant-gain controllers such as linear-quadratic regulators may not guarantee stability let alone optimality for balance systems affected by parametric variations. The robust stability and robust performance ac...

In this paper the H2-optimal control problem of systems with multiple i/o delays is presented. The problem is first converted to an equivalent H2 regulator problem with multiple delays. The idea is to view the regulator problem in time-domain as a linear quadratic regulator problem with multiple input delays. It is shown that the rational part of the optimal controller has the same dimension as...

A quadcopter control system is a fundamentally difficult and challenging problem because its dynamics modelling highly nonlinear, especially after accounting for the complicated aerodynamic effects. Plus, variables are interdependent coupled in nature. There six controllers studied analysed this work which (1) Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID), (2) Proportional-Derivative (PD), (3) Linear ...
