  2. 1. Geometric Control of Thrust Propelled Systems

    Author : Pedro Miguel Ótão Pereira; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; Jana Tumova; Panagiotis Tsiotras; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear control; geometric control; thrust propelled systems; slung load transportation; aerial tethered transportation; control of aerial vehicles; tracking and stabilization; global stabilization; bounded control; disturbance removal; distributed control; attitude synchronization; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis was motivated and inspired by the AEROWORKS project, a European research project, whose main goal was to deploy multiple heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles in environments where human intervention is restricted.In particular, this thesis focuses on control of aerial vehicles for the purposes of cargo transportation, an application of interest, for example, in inspection and maintenance of aging infrastructures.

  4. 2. Estimation and Control of Resonant Systems with Stochastic Disturbances

    Author : Peter Nauclér; Torsten Söderström; Anders Robertsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vibration control; stochastic control; stochastic systems; feedforward control; Wiener filtering; Kalman filtering; wave separation; unbalance estimation; nonlinear regression; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : The presence of vibration is an important problem in many engineering applications. Various passive techniques have traditionally been used in order to reduce waves and vibrations, and their harmful effects. Passive techniques are, however, difficult to apply in the low frequency region. READ MORE

  5. 3. Design of Robust PID Controllers with Constrained Control Signal Activity

    Author : Olof Garpinger; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; measurement noise; constrained control signal activity; linear systems; disturbance rejection; PID control; process control; Youla parameterized controllers; algorithms and software;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a new method for design of PI and PID controllers with the level of control signal activity taken into consideration. The main reason why the D-part is often disabled in industrial control loops is because it leads to control signal sensitivity of measurement noise. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fixed-Feedback SISO Adaptive Control

    Author : Magnus Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Two-Degrees-of-Freedom Control; Feedforward Control; Adaptive Control;

    Abstract : Adaptive control is an attractive method to solve control problemssince the tedious task of identifying process behavior to find asuitable design for the controller is taken care of by the adaptivecontroller itself. It may be difficult, however, to guaranteerobustness (in the sense of desired disturbance attenuation andstability margins) for traditional adaptive schemes since theircorresponding loop gain is time varying.

  7. 5. Active Vibration Control of Multibody Systems : Application to Automotive Design

    Author : Claes Olsson; Alexander Medvedev; Stephen Elliott; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active Vibration Control; Vibration Isolation; Feedback Control; Adaptive Filtering; Saturation; Limit Cycles; Multi Body Systems; Modelling; Simulation; Non-linearity; Gain Scheduling; Structure Flexibility; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Active vibration control to reduce vibrations and structure borne noise is considered using a powerful multi-disciplinary virtual design environment which enables control system design to be considered as an integral part of the overall vehicle design. The main application studied is active automotive engine vibration isolation where, first, the potential of large frequency band multi-input multi-output H2 feedback control is considered. READ MORE
