This permitted the use of linear matrix inequalities (LMI) to solve for the Hv controller for the system. When considering different actuator failures, these conditions were then also mathematically expressed, allowing the H∞ robust controller to solve for these events and thus be fault-tolerant. Finally, simulation results showed that the H∞ robust fault-tolerant controller could provide precise AUV navigation control with strong robustness.展开更多

A robust H∞ output feedback controller based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) was developed to guarantee the robust stability and H∞ performance of the resultant closed-loop system. The presented design approach is based on the application of descriptor model transformation and Park's inequality for the bounding of cross terms and is expected to be less conservative compared to reported design methods. Finally, illustrative examples are advanced to demonstrate the superiority of the obtained method.展开更多

The vehicle's vibration in the yaw, roll, pitch and vertical direction and the suspension's dynamic deflection in the steering process are taken into account for the designed H∞ robust controller, and it introduces the frequency weight function to improve the riding comfort in the specific sensitive frequency bands to human body. The proposed robust controller is testified through simulation and steering wheel angle step test. The results show that the active suspension with the designed robust controller can enhance the anti-roll capability of the vehicle, inhibit the changes of the body, and improve the riding comfort of the vehicle under steering condition. The results of this study can provide certain theoretical basis for the research and application of active suspension system.展开更多
