The Distance to Uncontrollability via Linear Matrix InequalitiesBoyce, Steven James 12 January 2011 (has links)
The distance to uncontrollability of a controllable linear system is a measure of the degree of perturbation a system can undergo and remain controllable. The definition of the distance to uncontrollability leads to a non-convex optimization problem in two variables. In 2000 Gu proposed the first polynomial time algorithm to compute this distance. This algorithm relies heavily on efficient eigenvalue solvers.
In this work we examine two alternative algorithms that result in linear matrix inequalities. For the first algorithm, proposed by Ebihara et. al., a semidefinite programming problem is derived via the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) lemma. The dual formulation is also considered and leads to rank conditions for exactness verification of the approximation. For the second algorithm, by Dumitrescu, Şicleru and Ştefan, a semidefinite programming problem is derived using a sum-of-squares relaxation of an associated matrix-polynomial and the associated Gram matrix parameterization. In both cases the optimization problems are solved using primal-dual-interior point methods that retain positive semidefiniteness at each iteration.
Numerical results are presented to compare the three algorithms for a number of benchmark examples. In addition, we also consider a system that results from a finite element discretization of the one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation. Here our objective is to test these algorithms for larger problems that originate in PDE-control. / Master of Science

Modeling, simulation and control of redundantly actuated parallel manipulatorsGanovski, Latchezar 04 December 2007 (has links)
Redundantly actuated manipulators have only recently aroused significant scientific interest. Their advantages in terms of enlarged workspace, higher payload ratio and better manipulability with respect to non-redundantly actuated systems explain the appearance of numerous applications in various fields: high-precision machining, fault-tolerant manipulators, transport and outer-space applications, surgical operation assistance, etc.
The present Ph.D. research proposes a unified approach for modeling and actuation of redundantly actuated parallel manipulators. The approach takes advantage of the actuator redundancy principles and thus allows for following trajectories that contain parallel (force) singularities, and for eliminating the negative effect of the latter.
As a first step of the approach, parallel manipulator kinematic and dynamic models are generated and treated in such a way that they do not suffer from kinematic loop closure numeric problems. Using symbolic models based on the multibody formalism and a Newton-Euler recursive computation scheme, faster-than-real-time computer simulations can thus be achieved. Further, an original piecewise actuation strategy is applied to the manipulators in order to eliminate singularity effects during their motion. Depending on the manipulator and the trajectories to be followed, this strategy results in non-redundant or redundant actuation solutions that satisfy actuator performance limits and additional optimality criteria.
Finally, a validation of the theoretical results and the redundant actuation benefits is performed on the basis of well-known control algorithms applied on two parallel manipulators of different complexity. This is done both by means of computer simulations and experimental runs on a prototype designed at the Center for Research in Mechatronics of the UCL. The advantages of the actuator redundancy of parallel manipulators with respect to the elimination of singularity effects during motion and the actuator load optimization are thus confirmed (virtually and experimentally) and highlighted thanks to the proposed approach for modeling, simulation and control.

An Extension To The Variational Iteration Method For Systems And Higher-order Differential EquationsAltintan, Derya 01 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
It is obvious that differential equations can be used to model real-life problems. Although it is possible to obtain analytical solutions of some of them, it is in general
difficult to find closed form solutions of differential equations. Finding thus approximate solutions has been the subject of many researchers from different areas.
In this thesis, we propose a new approach to Variational Iteration Method (VIM) to obtain the solutions of systems of first-order differential equations. The main
contribution of the thesis to VIM is that proposed approach uses restricted variations only for the nonlinear terms and builds up a matrix-valued Lagrange multiplier that leads to the extension of the method (EVIM).
Close relation between the matrix-valued Lagrange multipliers and fundamental solutions of the differential equations highlights the relation between the extended version of the variational iteration method and the classical variation of parameters formula.
It has been proved that the exact solution of the initial value problems for (nonhomogenous) linear differential equations can be obtained by such a generalisation using
only a single variational step.
Since higher-order equations can be reduced to first-order systems, the proposed approach is capable of solving such equations too / indeed, without such a reduction,
variational iteration method is also extended to higher-order scalar equations. Further, the close connection with the associated first-order systems is presented.
Such extension of the method to higher-order equations is then applied to solve boundary value problems: linear and nonlinear ones. Although the corresponding Lagrange
multiplier resembles the Green&rsquo / s function, without the need of the latter, the extended approach to the variational iteration method is systematically applied to solve boundary value problems, surely in the nonlinear case as well.
In order to show the applicability of the method, we have applied the EVIM to various real-life problems: the classical Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems, Brusselator
reaction-diffusion, and chemical master equations. Results show that the method is simple, but powerful and effective.

Investigation and control of Görtler vortices in high-speed flowsEs-Sahli, Omar 08 December 2023 (has links) (PDF)
High-amplitude freestream turbulence and surface roughness elements can excite a laminar boundary-layer flow sufficiently enough to cause streamwise-oriented vortices to develop. These vortices resemble elongated streaks having alternate spanwise variations of the streamwise velocity. Following the transient growth phase, the fully developed vortex structures downstream undergo an inviscid secondary instability mechanism and, ultimately, transition to turbulence. This mechanism becomes much more complicated in high-speed boundary layer flows due to compressibility and thermal effects, which become more significant for higher Mach numbers. In this research, we formulate and test an optimal control algorithm to suppress the growth rate of the aforementioned streamwise vortex system. The derivation of the optimal control algorithm follows two stages.
In the first stage, to optimize the computational cost of the analysis, the study develops an efficient numerical algorithm based on the nonlinear boundary region equations (NBREs), a reduced form of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a high-Reynolds-number asymptotic framework. The NBREs algorithm results agree well with direct numerical simulation (DNS) results. The numerical simulations are substantially less computationally costly than a full DNS and have a more rigorous theoretical foundation than parabolized stability equation (PSE) based models. The substantial reduction in computational time required to predict the full development of a G\"{o}rtler vortex system in high-speed flows allows investigation into feedback control in reasonable total computational time, which is the focus of the second part of the study.
In the second stage, the method of Lagrange multipliers is utilized -- via an appropriate transformation of the original constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained form -- to obtain the adjoint compressible boundary-region equations (ACBREs) and corresponding optimality conditions, which constitute the basis of the optimal control approach. Numerical solutions for high-supersonic and hypersonic flows reveal a significant decrease in the kinetic energy and wall shear stress for all configurations considered. Streamwise velocity contour plots illustrate the qualitative effect of the optimal control iterations, demonstrating a significant decrease in the amplitude of the primary vortex instabilities.
