Controller design for nonlinear systems with time delay using model algorithm control (MAC)

This paper presents a digital model algorithm control (MAC) for nonlinear time-delayed systems. The MAC controller is designed based on the sampled-data representation of the dynamic system. A new discretization method using the Taylor series and zero order hold assumption is proposed to discretize the continuous nonlinear time-delayed system. The proposed discretization method can provide accurate time discretization results and convert the discrete-time system into a general nonlinear system, so that the MAC method can be employed. Several simulations are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed method.     

A discretization method for nonlinear delayed non-affine systems

The input time delay is always existent in the practical systems. Analysis of the delay phenomenon in a continuous-time domain is sophisticated. It is appropriate to obtain its corresponding discrete-time model for implementation via digital computer. This paper proposes a new discretization method for calculating a sampled-data representation of nonlinear time-delayed non-affine systems. The proposed scheme provides a finite-dimensional representation for nonlinear systems with non-affine time-delayed input enabling existing nonlinear controller design techniques to be applied to them. The performance of the proposed discretization procedure is evaluated by using a nonlinear system with non-affine time-delayed input. For this nonlinear system, various time delay values are considered.

Comparative study of Matrix exponential and Taylor series discretization methods for nonlinear ODEs

The discretization of nonlinear systems with input time-delay has always been considered of relevant interest in control system studies. For this reason, two different, new discretization schemes are introduced, based on the Matrix exponential and Taylor series, respectively. They are analyzed for the purpose of identifying their advantages and differences. Numerous comparative simulation studies are performed for two systems, i.e., a simple first order process system and a second order system. Various sampling rates, time-delays, and input signals are inspected. Some valuable concluding remarks are made, in order to facilitate the choice between these two methods for a specific system.

Adaptive Variable Structure Control Design for Uncertain Time-Delayed Systems with Nonlinear Input

This paper presents a new robust control for uncertain dynamic time-delayed systems with series nonlinearities. It is implemented by using variable structure control. The proposed variable structure controller ensures the global reaching condition of the sliding mode of the uncertain time-delayed system. However, in the sliding mode, the investigated uncertain time-delayed system still bears the insensitivity to the uncertainties and disturbances as the systems with linear input. Furthermore, the proposed controller is achieved through adaptive variable structure control without the limitation of knowing the bounds of the uncertainties and perturbations in advance.     

Adaptive backstepping controller design for nonlinear uncertain systems using fuzzy neural systems

In this article, we propose an adaptive backstepping control scheme using fuzzy neural networks (FNNs), ABC_FNN, for a class of nonlinear non-affine systems in non-triangular form. The nonlinear non-affine system contains the uncertainty, external disturbance or parameters variations. Two kinds of FNN systems are used to estimate the unknown system functions. According to the FNN estimations, the adaptive backstepping control (ABC_FNN) signal can be generated by backstepping design procedure such that the system output follows the desired trajectory. To ensure robustness and performance, a proportional-integral-surface function and robust controller are designed to improve the control performance. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the stability of a closed-loop system is guaranteed and the adaptive laws of the FNN parameters are obtained. This approach is also valid for nonlinear affine system with uncertainty or disturbance. The uncertainty and disturbance terms are estimated by FNNs and treated by the ABC_FNN scheme. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed ABC_FNN is demonstrated through the simulation of controlling a nonlinear non-affine system and the continuously stirred tank reactor plant to demonstrate the performances of our approach.     

Neural Network Based Adaptive Tracking Control for a Class of Pure Feedback Nonlinear Systems With Input Saturation

In this paper, an adaptive neural networks (NNs) tracking controller is proposed for a class of single-input/singleoutput (SISO) non-affine pure-feedback non-linear systems with input saturation. In the proposed approach, the original input saturated nonlinear system is augmented by a low pass filter. Then, new system states are introduced to implement states transformation of the augmented model. The resulting new model in affine Brunovsky form permits direct and simpler controller design by avoiding back-stepping technique and its complexity growing as done in existing methods in the literature. In controller design of the proposed approach, a state observer, based on the strictly positive real (SPR) theory, is introduced and designed to estimate the new system states, and only two neural networks are used to approximate the uncertain nonlinearities and compensate for the saturation nonlinearity of actuator. The proposed approach can not only provide a simple and effective way for construction of the controller in adaptive neural networks control of non-affine systems with input saturation, but also guarantee the tracking performance and the boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop system. The stability of the control system is investigated by using the Lyapunov theory. Simulation examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
