In practical control systems differences between nominal and real systems arise from internal uncertainties and/or external disturbances. This paper presents a model-based low-order disturbance observer for a sinusoidal disturbance with unknown constant offset. By using the disturbance model of a biased harmonic signal, the proposed method can successfully estimate the biased sinusoidal disturbance with unknown amplitude and phase but known frequency. At the first stage of the observer design, a model-based disturbance observer is designed when all the system states are measurable. Next, a sufficient condition is presented for the proposed observer to estimate the sinusoidal disturbance with a minimal-order additional dynamics using only output measurement. Comparative computer simulations are performed to test the performance of the proposed method. The simulation results show the enhanced performance of the proposed disturbance observer.

This paper presents a robust state observer design for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems with time delay and external disturbance. A sufficient conditions on the existence of the proposed observer are characterized by linear matrix inequalities. It is also shown that the proposed observer design can reduce the effect on the estimation error of external disturbance up to the prescribed level in spite of the existence of time delay. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the proposed design method.

The traditional approach is to characterize the behavior and performance of fluid film hydrodynamic journal bearings by means of linearized bearing analysis. The objective of this paper is to examine the nonlinear characteristics of the journal bearing when an external sinusoidal shock is given to the system. The oil film force is obtained by solving the finite width Reynolds equation at each time step by the solution of the column method. Frequency response functions obtained from both linear and nonlinear bearing simulations are compared with each other.

In this paper, a robust speed controller considering the effect of uncertainty (plant parameter variation. external load disturbance. unmodeled and nonlinear dynamics etc..) for induction motor is proposed. Firstly. the dynamic model at nominal case of induction motor is estimated. Based on the estimated model. the IPSC ( Integral - Proportional Speed Controller) is designed. Then a DTRC (Dead-time Robust Controller) combining DTC ( Dead-time Compensator) & SRC (Simple Robust Controller) is designed to reduce the effects of parameter variation and external disturbance. Some simulated results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

In this paper, a binary disturbance observer is implemented, and the validity is verified by experiments. A disturbance observer with binary control is proposed to suppress the chattering of the conventional sliding mode observer in estimation of the external disturbance. As a result of experiments, it is confirmed that the robust and high precision position control is possible by the proposed binary observer.

The resulting stabilizing controller in this paper consists of the disturbance estimator and the gain scheduled controller. The disturbance estimator tracks the unknown external disturbance and its derivative information in the closed-loop control system using fuzzy logic based adaptation law. Moreover, the gains of the stabilizing controller are appropriately scheduled according to the estimated values. Furthermore, since the estimation law is combined with the stabilizing controller in the closed control loop, it asymptotically minimizes the estimation error. In order to conrm the usefulness of the proposed control scheme, it is applied to the magnetic suspension systems.

The external force disturbance is the one of the main causes that deteriorate the performance of the magnetic suspension. Thus, this paper develops a fuzzy estimator for gain scheduling control of magnetic suspension systems suffering from the unknown disturbance. The proposed fuzzy estimator computes the disturbance injected to the plant and the gain scheduled controller generates the corresponding stabilizing control input associated with the estimated disturbance. In the simulation results we confirm the novelty of the proposed control scheme comparing with the other method using a feedback linearization.

This study is concerned with static and sinusoidal disturbance rejection for a single periodic input disturbance with known period. In the area of active elimination of a disturbance force, the control input should have two different kinds of gains: one is to deliver a stable control and the other is a force component to cancel the external disturbance force. In this paper we employ a simple state feedback control law to make the balance beam stable and employ a linear observer to estimate the states which represent the external disturbance force components. Simulation results verify our proposed control method to reject a static and sinusoidal disturbance force.

A control approach for the robust position control of induction motors based on the binary disturbance observer is described. The conventional binary disturbance observer is used to remove the chattering problem of a sliding mode disturbance observer. However, the steady state error may exist in the conventional binary disturbance observer because it estimates external disturbance with a constant boundary layer. In order to overcome this problem, new binary disturbance observer with an integral augmented switching hyperplane is proposed. The robustness is achieved, and the continuous control is realized by employing the proposed observer without the chattering problem and the steady state error. The effectiveness of the proposed observer is confirmed by the comparative experimental results.
