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 investigate the strengths and weaknesses of this approach, this paper considers several nonlinear systems under full-state-feedback and output-feedback control. The internal model principle is used to follow and reject step, ramp, and harmonic commands and disturbances. The Mathieu equation, Van der Pol oscillator, rotational-translational actuator, and ball and beam are considered. All examples are considered in discrete time in order to remove the effect of integration accuracy. The performance of FPRE is investigated numerically by considering the effect of state and control weightings, the initial conditions of the difference Riccati equations, the domain of attraction, and the choice of SDC.

Implementation of k-epsilon turbulence models in a two dimensional parallel navier-stokes solver on hybrid grids Kalkan, Onur Ozan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) In this thesis, the popular k-ε turbulence model is implemented on a parallel, 2-dimensional, explicit, density-based, finite volume based Navier-Stokes solver works on hybrid grids, HYP2D. Among the other versions available in the open literature, standard version of the k-ε turbulence mode is studied. Launder-Spalding and Chieng-Launder wall functions are adapted to the turbulence model in order to investigate the effects of the strong gradients in the vicinity of the wall on the turbulence. In order to i...
Outputs bounds for linear systems with repeated input signals: existence, computation and application to vehicle platooning Saglam, Harun Bugra; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2018-01-01) 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 la...
Output feedback stabilization of nonlinear dual-rate sampled-data systems via an approximate discrete-time model Ustunturk, Ahmet (2012-08-01) The problem of output feedback stabilization of nonlinear sampled-data control systems is considered under the low measurement rate constraint. A dual-rate control scheme is proposed that utilizes a numerical integration scheme to approximately predict the missing output values between measured output samples. It is shown that if an observer-based output feedback controller that semiglobally practically asymptotically (SPA) stabilizes the single-rate sampled-data plant model is given, then the SPA stability...
Compensation of Nonlinear Effects in Three-level Neutral-Point-Clamped Inverters Based on Field Oriented Control Mese, Huseyin; Ersak, Aydın (2012-09-06) In this paper, the nonlinear effects in three-level neutral-point-clamped inverters will be studied and a compensation algorithm, based on field oriented control (FOC) technique, will be proposed. In voltage source inverters (VSIs), nonlinear effects such as voltage drops on power semiconductors, and their turn on/turn off times cause distortions at the output voltage. Also dead-time, inserted in order to avoid short-circuits, are another source of nonlinearity. The proposed compensation algorithm is develo...
Command governor-based adaptive control for dynamical systems with matched and unmatched uncertainties Yayla, Metehan; Kutay, Ali Türker (2018-08-01) In this paper, we propose a command governor-based adaptive control architecture for stabilizing uncertain dynamical systems with not only matched but also unmatched uncertainties and achieving the desired command following performance of a user-defined subset of the accessible states. In our proposed solution, online least-squares solutions for the matched and unmatched parameters are obtained through integration method and they are employed in the adaptive control framework. Specifically, the matched unce...
