Robust gain-scheduled control for vibration suppression
Limited control authority is a key issue in the field of structural control and is a major research area since most of the practical control problems are dominated by constraints on the control signal. The paper presents a simple and practical gain-scheduled controller design procedure for active vibration suppression of a three-storey flexible structure. First, system identification experiments are performed and the plant's uncertainty is derived. Next, robust controller design with constraint on the control signal is presented. For a better trade-off between control performance and control constraint a gain-scheduling approach is investigated. Stability analysis of the gain-scheduled controller is analysed using a parameter-independent Lyapunov function (quadratic stability) as well as a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function (biquadratic stability). Finally, the gain-scheduled controller is tested experimentally when the flexible structure is excited with a scaled historical earthquake record (1940 El Centro record). Successful experimental results show that the proposed robust gain-scheduled control approach offers good performance in the case of control authority limitation.
