In this paper, both the asymptotic stability and l1 persistent disturbance attenuation issues are investigated for a class of networked control systems (NCSs) under bounded uncertain access delay and packet dropout effects. The basic idea is to formulate such NCSs as discrete-time switched systems with arbitrary switching. Then the NCSs’ stability and performance problems can be reduced to the ...

The stability of modulated atmospheric flows is analyzed. The equations govern. ing the disturbance motion are solved by Galerkin expansions with time-dependent coefficients. Asymptotic stability bounds are then established by constructing Liapuno"\ functions for the resulting differential systems.

In this paper we exploit the connection between disturbance observer and L1 adaptive control theories. We consider L1 adaptive output–feedback control framework, for which the L1 reference controller is equivalent to the disturbance observer. Using this fact, we investigate several properties of the disturbance observer architecture, leading to various filter design methods towards verification...

In this paper, we propose a feedback active noise control (ANC) system which can surpress disturbance. The conventional feedback ANC system has a possibility of divergence because the disturbance of broadband noise corrupts the input signal for the system. To surpress the disturbance, we incorporate a linear prediction filter into the feedback ANC system. Simulation results show that the propos...

in the past, rock slope stability analysis were performed either graphically or using a hand-held calculator, but nowadays there are variety of slope stability analysis which can be used according to the field condition and potential failure mode. in 2-d analysis, effect of convex and concave walls are neglected, however concave slopes are believed to be more stable than straight walls due to t...

In this work, the robust position control scheme is proposed for the electro-mechanical system using the disturbance observer and backstepping control method. To the external unknown load of the electro-mechanical system, the nonlinear disturbance observer is given to estimate the external unknown load. Combining the output of the developed nonlinear disturbance observer with backstepping techn...

One approach to robust control for linear plants with structured uncertainty as well as for linear parameter-varying (LPV) plants (where the controller has on-line access to the varying plant parameters) is through linearfractional-transformation (LFT) models. Control issues to be addressed by controller design in this formalism include robust stability and robust performance. Here robust perfo...

Recent investigations of microfluidic flows have focused on manipulating the motion of very thin liquid films by modulating the surface tension through an applied streamwise temperature gradient. The extent to which the choice of contact line model affects the flow and stability of such thermocapillary-driven films is not completely understood. Regardless of the contact line model used, the lin...

A robust control scheme is proposed for a class of systems with uncertainty and time delay based on disturbance observer technique. A disturbance observer is developed to estimate the disturbance generated by an exogenous system, and the design parameter of the disturbance observer is determined by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Based on the output of the disturbance observer, a rob...
