Robust stabilisation and L2 -gain analysis for switched systems with actuator saturation under asynchronous switching

Robust stabilisation and L₂-gain analysis for a class of switched systems with actuator saturation are studied in this paper. The switching signal of the controllers lags behind that of the system modes, which leads to the asynchronous switching between the candidate controllers and the subsystems. By combining the piecewise Lyapunov function method with the convex hull technique, sufficient conditions in terms of LMIs for the solvability of the robust stabilisation and weighted L₂-gain problems are presented respectively under the dwell time scheme. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Analysis and design of delta operator systems with nested actuator saturation

In this paper, the problem of estimating the domain of attraction is considered for delta operator systems subject to nested actuator saturation. A set invariance condition is established for the delta operator system with nested actuator saturation in terms of auxiliary feedback matrices. Based on the set invariance condition, an optimisation approach is proposed to estimate the domain of attraction for the delta operator system. Thereby, the partial results of nested actuator saturation for both continuous-time systems and discrete-time systems are extended to delta operator system framework. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design techniques.     

Fault-tolerant control of delta operator systems with actuator saturation and effectiveness loss

This paper studies the problem of robust fault-tolerant control against the actuator effectiveness loss for delta operator systems with actuator saturation. Ellipsoids are used to estimate the domain of attraction for the delta operator systems with actuator saturation and effectiveness loss. Some invariance set conditions used for enlarging the domain of attraction are expressed by linear matrix inequalities. Discussions on system performance optimisation are presented in this paper, including reduction on computational complexity, expansion of the domain of attraction and disturbance rejection. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques.     

Output feedback control of linear fractional transformation systems subject to actuator saturation

In this paper, the control problem for a class of linear parameter varying (LPV) plant subject to actuator saturation is investigated. For the saturated LPV plant depending on the scheduling parameters in linear fractional transformation (LFT) fashion, a gain-scheduled output feedback controller in the LFT form is designed to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop LPV system and provide optimised disturbance/error attenuation performance. By using the congruent transformation, the synthesis condition is formulated as a convex optimisation problem in terms of a finite number of LMIs for which efficient optimisation techniques are available. The nonlinear inverted pendulum problem is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Moreover, the comparison between our LPV saturated approach with an existing linear saturated method reveals the advantage of the LPV controller when handling nonlinear plants.     

采煤机无线监测装置压电换能元件参数匹配分析

考虑到压电自供电装置中压电振子的几何参数直接影响其共振频率,从而影响压电自供电装置的发电量,因此需要根据环境激励频率设定最佳的压电振子的几何参数,对基于压电自供电的采煤机状态无线监测装置进行研究,通过理论分析、仿真以及实验方法对对不同悬臂梁结构在不同外界激励作用下的发电量进行研究.研究结果表明:悬臂梁自由端的质量块质量以及悬臂梁长度越大,悬臂梁压电结构的固有频率越低;随着悬臂梁厚度的增加,悬臂梁压电结构的固有频率逐渐增大.以此为依据对采煤机不同监测位置的装置选取最佳匹配的压电结构几何参数,并通过采煤机工作状态监测实验验证了本文研究的压电自供电无线监测装置的可行性.     

Dynamic output feedback control of saturated switched delay systems under the PDT switching

This paper is devoted to saturated control of switched delay systems. The main focus is to find a suitable switching law and saturated output feedback controllers such that the closed‐loop systems are asymptotically stable and have the disturbance tolerance/rejection capacity. A mixed slow/arbitrary switching approach, so‐called persistent dwell time (PDT) switching, is used to design the switching law. Compared with the slow switching, it is more general and leads to more flexibility in the process of constructing switching signals. More importantly, the proposed PDT is dependent on state delay, which includes the previous delay‐independent PDT. Next, time‐varying ellipsoids and a prescribe l₂‐gain are introduced to characterize the disturbance tolerance and rejection capacities of systems, respectively. Based on the proposed results, the relation between delay‐dependent PDT and level of disturbance tolerance/rejection is shown. Finally, saturated controllers working in time‐varying hull controllable regions are designed. Thus, the considered problem is solved. An example is exploited to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer acoustic emission sensors

Acoustic emission (AE) sensors have been fabricated using polarized polyvinylidene fluoride/trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) piezoelectric copolymer films. The acoustic and electromechanical properties of the copolymers have been determined using the ultrasonic immersion technique and the resonance technique, respectively. The P(VDF-TrFE) AE sensors have been calibrated according to the ASTM standard and evaluated for potential application in the detection of AE in glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GFPP). A ceramic AE sensor also has been fabricated using lead zirconate titanate (PZT) 7A piezoelectric ceramic and its sensitivity and performance are reported as well. The copolymer sensors do not show resonance peaks of the ceramic sensor and have adequate sensitivity. They can reproduce AE signals accurately without giving artifacts and have potential use in commercial AE systems.
