Backstepping Control of Linear Time-Varying Systems with Known and Unknown Parameters
(2003)The backstepping control design procedure has been used to develop stabilizing controllers for time invariant plants that are linear or belong to some class of nonlinear systems. The use of such a procedure to design ...

Decentralized Reconfigurable Control for Large-Scale Systems with Application to a Segmented Telescope Test-Bed
(2003)Designing a decentralized reconfigurable control (DRC) system is considered for large-scale systems. The objective of the DRC system is to achieve performance requirements under normal and sensor failure situations. The ...

Designs of bisimilar Petri net controllers with fault tolerance capabilities
(2008)This paper proposes an approach for providing tolerance against faults that may compromise the functionality of a given controller modeled by a Petri net. The method is based on embedding the given Petri net controller ...

Determining model accuracy as a function of inputs and system parameters
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)Vital to the effectiveness of simulation-based design is having a system model of known quality. Previous research introduced an algorithm called AVASIM for assessing model validity systematically and quantitatively. AVASIM ...

Entrainment and vehicle following controllers design for autonomous intelligent vehicles
(American Automatic Control Council, 1994)Entrainment and vehicle following controllers are proposed for autonomous intelligent vehicles in both non-tight and tight vehicle following maneuvers. A nonlinear vehicle model is used for designing the controllers. The ...

Error detection and correction in switched linear controllers via periodic and non-concurrent checks
(2006)Control systems that utilize switched linear controllers have proven to be useful (and, in some cases, essential) for accomplishing certain control objectives in particular classes of plants. These controllers are often ...

Fault detection and identification in Petri net controllers
(2004)This paper proposes a methodology for providing fault tolerance to Petri net controllers. In order to provide tolerance against faults that may compromise the functionality of the Petri net controller, we construct a ...

Longitudinal control of heavy trucks: Environmental and fuel economy considerations
(2004)In this paper we design, analyze, simulate and experimentally test longitudinal vehicle following controllers for heavy trucks with different spacing policies and evaluate their performance in mixed traffic with passenger ...

On optimal performance for linear time-varying systems
(2004)In this paper we consider the optimal disturbance attenuation problem and robustness for linear time-varying (LTV) systems. This problem corresponds to the standard optimal H ∞ problem for LTI systems. The problem is ...

Real-Time Control of a Segmented Telescope Test-Bed
(2003)The control of large segmented telescopes is a challenging one due to the complexity and high order of the system. The high order dynamics lead to high order controllers that require more memory and faster computations for ...
