Powerful graphical tools exist in classic control, such as the Nyquist plot, Bode plots, and Nichols chart. These methods have been widely used to evaluate the frequency domain behavior of system. A literature survey shows that various approaches are available for the computation of the frequency response of control systems under different types of parametric dependencies, such as affine, multi-linear, polynomial, etc. However, there is a lack of tools in the literature to construct the Bode envelopes for the general nonlinear type of parametric dependencies. In this paper, we address the problem of computation of the envelope of Bode frequency response of a non-rational transfer function with nonlinear parametric uncertainties varying over a box. We propose two techniques to compute the Bode envelopes：first, based on the natural interval extensions （NIE） combined with uniform subdivision and second, based on the existing Taylor model combined with subdivision strategy. We also propose the algorithms to further speed up both methods through extrapolation techniques.展开更多
