Stability Analysis of T-S Fuzzy Control Systems Based on Parameter-dependent Lyapunov Function

For discrete-time T-S fuzzy systems, the stability and controller design method are in-vestigated based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov function (PDLF). T-S fuzzy systems di?er fromnon-fuzzy systems with polytopic description or multi-model description in that the weighting coef-ficients have respective meanings. They, however, have stability aspect in common. By adopting astability condition for polytopic systems obtained via PDLF, and combining the properties of T-Sfuzzy systems, new results are given in this paper. An example shows that by applying the newresults, the stability conditions that can be distinguished are less conservative.

Linear matrix inequality (LMI) sufficient conditions are developed to solve these problems, respectively. The expressions of desired state feedback fuzzy controllers are given. Finally, a numerical simulation is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Fuzzy Chaos Control for Vehicle Lateral Dynamics Based on Active Suspension System

The existing research of the active suspension system（ASS） mainly focuses on the different evaluation indexes and control strategies. Among the different components, the nonlinear characteristics of practical systems and control are usually not considered for vehicle lateral dynamics. But the vehicle model has some shortages on tyre model with side-slip angle, road adhesion coefficient, vertical load and velocity. In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic model of lateral system is considered and also the adaptive neural network of tire is introduced. By nonlinear analysis methods, such as the bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent, it has shown that the lateral dynamics exhibits complicated motions with the forward speed. Then, a fuzzy control method is applied to the lateral system aiming to convert chaos into periodic motion using the linear-state feedback of an available lateral force with changing tire load. Finally, the rapid control prototyping is built to conduct the real vehicle test. By comparison of time response diagram, phase portraits and Lyapunov exponents at different work conditions, the results on step input and S-shaped road indicate that the slip angle and yaw velocity of lateral dynamics enter into stable domain and the results of test are consistent to the simulation and verified the correctness of simulation. And the Lyapunov exponents of the closed-loop system are becoming from positive to negative. This research proposes a fuzzy control method which has sufficient suppress chaotic motions as an effective active suspension system.
