H∞ Robust control via singular value decomposition as a design tool for continuous dynamic systems
Main Article Content
Abstract
We present a novel generic tool to design the shape and location of an actuator for continuous elastic dynamic systems, i.e. essential properties of the actuators in order to generate a desired state profile. The main idea of the research is to generate an approximation via reduction of the number of actuators by using the singular value decomposition (SVD). SVD is a powerful and elegant method for data analysis aimed at obtaining low-dimensional approximation of high-dimensional data. We implement our work on the structural dynamics of a clamped elastic beam. By the use of Finite Difference Method (FDM), we divide the beam into discrete elements. Each element has the ability to translate and rotate with respect to the surrounding elements. By implementing the theory of robust H control, we obtain the optimal control law with respect to the worst exogenous input. This and the use of SVD enables us to approximate efficiently the number of actuators needed. Thus, enabling us to reduce the number of actuators that are necessary in order to obtain a desirable state profile with a robust control law.
