Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vehicles are complex systems (non-linear, multi-variable) where the abundance of embedded controllers should ensure better security. This book aims at emphasizing the interest and potential of Linear Parameter Varying methods within the framework of vehicle dynamics, e.g. proposed control-oriented model, complex enough to handle some system non linearities but still simple for control or observer design, take into account the adaptability of the vehicle's response to driving situations, to the driver request and/or to the road sollicitations, manage interactions between various actuators to optimize the dynamic behavior of vehicles. This book results from the 32th International Summer School in Automatic that held in Grenoble, France, in September 2011, where recent methods (based on robust control and LPV technics), then applied to the control of vehicle dynamics, have been presented. After some theoretical background and a view on some recent works on LPV approaches (for modelling, analysis, control, observation and diagnosis), the main emphasis is put on road vehicles but some illustrations are concerned with railway, aerospace and underwater vehicles. The main objective of the book is to demonstrate the value of this approach for controlling the dynamic behavior of vehicles. It presents, in a rm way, background and new results on LPV methods and their application to vehicle dynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to the analysis and control of Linear Parameter-Varying Systems and Time-Delay Systems and their interactions. The purpose is to give the readers some fundamental theoretical background on these topics and to give more insights on the possible applications of these theories. This self-contained monograph is written in an accessible way for readers ranging from undergraduate/PhD students to engineers and researchers willing to know more about the fields of time-delay systems, parameter-varying systems, robust analysis, robust control, gain-scheduling techniques in the LPV fashion and LMI based approaches. The only prerequisites are basic knowledge in linear algebra, ordinary differential equations and (linear) dynamical systems. Most of the results are proved unless the proof is too complex or not necessary for a good understanding of the results. In the latter cases, suitable references are systematically provided. The first part pertains on the representation, analysis and control of LPV systems along with a reminder on robust analysis and control techniques. The second part is concerned with the representation and analysis of time-delay systems using various time-domain techniques. The third and last part is devoted to the representation, analysis, observation, filtering and control of LPV time-delay systems. The book also presents many important basic and advanced results on the manipulation of LMIs.

This book was released on 2010-06-13 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the past 20 years, the framework of Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems has become a promising system theoretical approach to h- dle the controlof mildly nonlinear and especially position dependent systems which are common in mechatronic applications and in the process ind- try. The birth of this system class was initiated by the need of engineers to achieve better performance for nonlinear and time-varying dynamics, c- mon in many industrial applications, than what the classical framework of Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) control can provide. However, it was also a p- mary goal to preserve simplicity and “re-use” the powerful LTI results by extending them to the LPV case. The progress continued according to this philosophy and LPV control has become a well established ?eld with many promising applications. Unfortunately, modeling of LPV systems, especially based on measured data (which is called system identi?cation) has seen a limited development sincethebirthoftheframework. Currentlythisbottleneck oftheLPVfra- work is halting the transfer of the LPV theory into industrial use. Without good models that ful?ll the expectations of the users and without the und- standing how these models correspond to the dynamics of the application, it is di?cult to design high performance LPV control solutions. This book aims to bridge the gap between modeling and control by investigating the fundamental questions of LPV modeling and identi?cation. It explores the missing details of the LPV system theory that have hindered the formu- tion of a well established identi?cation framework.
Download or read book Robust Control Design for Active Driver Assistance Systems written by Péter Gáspár and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph focuses on control methods that influence vehicle dynamics to assist the driver in enhancing passenger comfort, road holding, efficiency and safety of transport, etc., while maintaining the driver’s ability to override that assistance. On individual-vehicle-component level the control problem is formulated and solved by a unified modelling and design method provided by the linear parameter varying (LPV) framework. The global behaviour desired is achieved by a judicious interplay between the individual components, guaranteed by an integrated control mechanism. The integrated control problem is also formalized and solved in the LPV framework. Most important among the ideas expounded in the book are: application of the LPV paradigm in the modelling and control design methodology; application of the robust LPV design as a unified framework for setting control tasks related to active driver assistance; formulation and solution proposals for the integrated vehicle control problem; proposal for a reconfigurable and fault-tolerant control architecture; formulation and solution proposals for the plug-and-play concept; detailed case studies. Robust Control Design for Active Vehicle Assistance Systems will be of interest to academic researchers and graduate students interested in automotive control and to control and mechanical engineers working in the automotive industry. Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.
Download or read book Robust Control of Linear Systems Subject to Uncertain Time Varying Parameters written by Francesco Amato and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-02-21 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last thirty years have witnessed an enormous effort in the field of robust control of dynamical systems. The main objective of this book is that of presenting, in a unified framework, the main results appeared in the literature on this topic, with particular reference to the robust stability problem for linear systems subject to time-varying uncertainties. The book mainly focuses on those problems for which a definitive solution has been found; indeed most of the results we shall present are given in the form of necessary and sufficient conditions involving the feasibility of Linear Matrix Inequalities based problems. For self-containedness purposes, most of the results provided in the book are proven. We have tried to maintain the development of the proofs as simple as possible, without sacrificing the mathematical rigor. Some parts of the book (especially those contained in Chaps. 2, 3 and 5) can be teached in advanced control courses; however this work is mainly devoted to both researchers in the field of systems and control theory and engineers working in industries which want to apply the methodologies presented in the book to practical control problems. To this regard, as the various results are derived, they are immediately reinforced with real world examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) techniques provide a convenient extension of linear systems theory to a rich class of systems--including uncertain, switched and non-linear systems. LPV systems theory also allows for the analysis of gain-scheduled controllers--where a controller is designed to perform over multiple operating points. The arrival of interior-point methods in the 1990s brought LPV systems and the analysis of LPV systems to the attention of many as a large subclass of LPV design conditions can be expressed as Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). This dissertation makes several contributions to LPV systems theory--both in terms of the analysis of this class of systems and new approaches for controller and filter design. We start by revisiting the issue of quadratic gain-scheduled and robust state-feedback. The goal of this analysis is to explore to what extent solvability of certain LMIs for gain-scheduled control also implies solvability of the corresponding robust control inequalities. One issue investigated in detail is the use of pre-filters to handle uncertainty appearing in the input matrix. We show that this technique is rarely productive in that the solvability of certain gain-scheduled control design problems for the original system augmented with a pre-filter often implies existence of a robust control for the original system. Following this, we introduce new conditions for the ${H}_{\infty}$ synthesis of discrete-time gain-scheduled state feedback controllers and LPV state estimators in the form of LMIs. A distinctive feature of the proposed conditions is the ability to handle time-variation in both the dynamics and the input or output matrices without resorting to pre-filtering or conservative iterative procedures. We show that these new conditions contain existing poly-quadratic conditions as a particular case and illustrate by way of numerical examples their superiority to many existing conditions. To conclude, we introduce a strategy for combining these state-feedback and state-estimation conditions for the $H_{\infty}$ synthesis of output feedback controllers. This strategy allows us to design output-feedback controllers where time-variation is present in the dynamics and the input or output matrices. To our knowledge, no techniques presently exist to solve this problem--even when the input and output matrices are held fixed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops original results regarding singular dynamic systems following two different paths. The first consists of generalizing results from classical state-space cases to linear descriptor systems, such as dilated linear matrix inequality (LMI) characterizations for descriptor systems and performance control under regulation constraints. The second is a new path, which considers descriptor systems as a powerful tool for conceiving new control laws, understanding and deciphering some controller’s architecture and even homogenizing different—existing—ways of obtaining some new and/or known results for state-space systems. The book also highlights the comprehensive control problem for descriptor systems as an example of using the descriptor framework in order to transform a non-standard control problem into a classic stabilization control problem. In another section, an accurate solution is derived for the sensitivity constrained linear optimal control also using the descriptor framework. The book is intended for graduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers in the field of systems and control theory.

This book was released on 2013-03-30 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this brief is the application of linear parameter-varying (LPV) control to a class of dynamic systems to provide a systematic synthesis of gain-scheduling controllers with guaranteed stability and performance. An important step in LPV control design, which is not well covered in the present literature, is the selection of weighting functions. The proper selection of weighting functions tunes the controller to obtain the desired closed-loop response. The selection of appropriate weighting functions is difficult and sometimes appears arbitrary. In this brief, gain-scheduling control with engineering applications is covered in detail, including the LPV modeling, the control problem formulation, and the weighting function optimization. In addition, an iterative algorithm for obtaining optimal output weighting functions with respect to the H2 norm bound is presented in this brief. Using this algorithm, the selection of appropriate weighting functions becomes an automatic process. The LPV design and control synthesis procedures in this brief are illustrated using: • air-to-fuel ratio control for port-fuel-injection engines; • variable valve timing control; and • application to a vibration control problem. After reading this brief, the reader will be able to apply its concepts to design gain-scheduling controllers for their own engineering applications. This brief provides detailed step-by-step LPV modeling and control design strategies along with an automatic weight-selection algorithm so that engineers can apply state-of-the-art LPV control synthesis to solve their own engineering problems. In addition, this brief should serve as a bridge between the H-infinity and H2 control theory and the real-world application of gain-scheduling control.
