Outputs bounds for linear systems with repeated input signals: existence, computation and application to vehicle platooning

This paper investigates the effect of repeated time-limited input signals on the output excursion of stable, linear time-invariant systems. It is first shown that the maximum norm of the output signal remains bounded if the repeated input signals are separated by a nonzero dwell time. Then a novel method for computing a tight bound on the output signal norm is proposed. The setting of the paper is motivated by a vehicle platooning application, where vehicles repeatedly open/close gaps in order to perform lane changes. The developed method analyzes driving safety by computing a bound on the spacing error between vehicles when performing repeated open/close gap maneuvers.

Output-feedback control of linear time-varying and nonlinear systems using the forward propagating Riccati equation
Prach, Anna; Tekinalp, Ozan; Bernstein, Dennis S. (2018-04-01)
For output-feedback control of linear time-varying (LTV) and nonlinear systems, this paper focuses on control based on the forward propagating Riccati equation (FPRE). FPRE control uses dual difference (or differential) Riccati equations that are solved forward in time. Unlike the standard regulator Riccati equation, which propagates backward in time, forward propagation facilitates output-feedback control of both LTV and nonlinear systems expressed in terms of a state-dependent coefficient (SDC). To invest...
A Simulink Nonlinear Model for LSRA Control Scheme Analysis
Pestana, Luis M.; Calado, M. do Rosario A.; Mariano, Silvio S. (2011-09-10)
This paper addresses the nonlinear model implementation of a Linear Switched Reluctance Actuator (LSRA) in the MATLAB/ Simulink simulation package. The model is based in an already implemented motor model for the rotating machine, which was improved and adopted to be applied in the analysis of a linear actuator. Both the magnetic information from experimental data and results obtained from Finite Element Analysis (FEA) were used to perform that study. The model is used in the assessment of several control s...
Efficient Three-Layer Iterative Solutions of Electromagnetic Problems Using the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm
Onol, Can; Ucuncu, Arif; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-05-19)
We present a three-layer iterative algorithm for fast and efficient solutions of electromagnetic problems formulated with surface integral equations. The strategy is based on nested iterative solutions employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm and its approximate forms. We show that the three-layer mechanism significantly reduces solution times, while it requires no additional memory as opposed to algebraic preconditioners. Numerical examples involving three-dimensional scattering problems are prese...
Two dimensional finite volume weighted essentially non-oscillatory euler schemes with different flux algorithms
Aktürk, Ali; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005)
The purpose of this thesis is to implement Finite Volume Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (FV-WENO) scheme to solution of one and two-dimensional discretised Euler equations with different flux algorithms. The effects of the different fluxes on the solution have been tested and discussed. Beside, the effect of the grid on these fluxes has been investigated. Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) schemes are high order accurate schemes designed for problems with piecewise smooth solutions that invol...
Algorithmic improvements to a frequency-domain linearized Euler solver for turbomachinery noise radiation
Özyörük, Yusuf (2010-12-06)
This paper describes some algorithmic enhancements to a frequency domain linearized Euler solver for prediction of turbomacinery noise radiating through turbofan engine exhausts. The solver is based on a direct solution approach for preventing temporal growth of jet shear layer instabilities commonly seen in radiation problems through exhaust jets. Direct solutions, however, require excessively large amount of computer memory for realistic problems which in turn limits the feasibility of the direct methods....
