| Abstract: | A systematic procedure for design of nonlinear H∞ controllers for amplitude‐dependent nonlinear plants is presented. The procedure is based on describing function concepts involving sinusoidal input describing function models of the nonlinear plant followed by application of an inverse describing function technique to arrive at nonlinear gains of the H∞ controller. The procedure is applied to a servomechanism problem to demonstrate the typical results that may be achieved. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society |
