The main objective of this paper is to develop an innovative methodology for the vibration suppression control of the multiple degrees-of-freedom (MDOF) flexible structure. The proposed structure represented in this research as a clamped-free-free-free truss type plate is rotated by motors. The controller has two loops for tracking and vibration suppression. In addition to stabilizing the actual system, the proposed feedback control is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) to seek the primary optimal control gain for tracking and stabilization purposes. Moreover, input shaping is introduced for the control scheme that limits motion-induced elastic vibration by shaping the reference command. Experimental results are presented, demonstrating that, in the control loop, roll and yaw angles track control and elastic mode stabilization. It was also demonstrated that combining the input shaper with the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback method has been shown to yield improved performance in controlling the flexible structure system. The broad range of problems discussed in this research is valuable in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering for flexible structures with MDOM motion.

This study proposes a robust control of a fin position servo system using the H-infinity loop-shaping method. The fin position control system has a proportional (P) position controller and a proportional-integral (PI) controller. In this work, the position control loop requires a wide bandwidth. No current control loop exists due to the compact design of the system. Hence, the controller parameters are difficult to determine using the traditional cascade design method. The $H_{\infty}$ controller design method is used to design the controller's gain to achieve good performance and robustness. First, the transfer function of the system, which can be divided into tunable and fixed parts, is derived. The tunable part includes the position P controller and speed PI controller. The fixed part includes the rest of the system. Second, the optimized controller parameters are calculated using Matlab $H_{\infty}$ controller design program. Finally, the system with optimized controller is tested by simulation and experiment. The control performance is satisfactory, and the $H_{\infty}$ controller design method is proven to be valid.

Course keeping is hard to implement under the condition of the propeller stopping or reversing at slow speed for berthing due to the ship's dynamic motion becoming highly nonlinear. To solve this problem, a practical Maneuvering Modeling Group (MMG) ship mathematic model with propeller reversing transverse forces and low speed correction is first discussed to be applied for the right-handed single-screw ship. Secondly, a novel PID-based nonlinear feedback algorithm driven by bipolar sigmoid function is proposed. The PID parameters are determined by a closed-loop gain shaping algorithm directly, while the closed-loop gain shaping theory was employed for effects analysis of this algorithm. Finally, simulation experiments were carried out on an LPG ship. It is shown that the energy consumption and the smoothness performance of the nonlinear feedback control are reduced by 4.2% and 14.6% with satisfactory control effects; the proposed algorithm has the advantages of robustness, energy saving and safety in berthing practice.

본 논문에서는 국내 통신방송위성 탑재용 Ka 대역 안테나의 전기적 설계에 관해 논하였다. 설계된 안테나는 오프셋 그레고리안 형태로 위성체의 지구 지향 패널에 설치된다. 안테나의 설계 제원은 통신방송위성 탑재체의 성능 분석을 통해 요구되는 EIRP, G/T 조건 등에서 결정된다. 주반사판의 표면 성형 (surface shaping) 을 통해 송수신 이득과 같은 안테나 설계 변수간의 성능 trade-off를 수행하여, 주요 설계 요구 조건을 모두 만족하는 설계 결과를 도출하였다. 설계된 안테나는 송신 주파수 대역에서 EOC 이득 37.95 dBi, 부엽파 분리 도 28.7 dB, 수신 주파수 대역에서 EOC 이득 37.49dBi, 부엽파 분리도 31.1dB의 특성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 교차편파 분리도 항목도 모두 규격을 만족하는 양호한 결과를 얻었다. 제작된 기술인증모델의 전기적 성능 시험을 통해 설계 경과를 검증하였다.

In this research a fault-tolerant and bumpless switching control is proposed for boiler systems used in the power plants. Firstly, three operating points are selected to control the nonlinear boiler through the full operational range, and the $H_{\infty}$ loop shaping controller and the model-based predictive controller(MBPC) are designed. To prevent the windup and bump problems which are caused by the actuator saturation and the controller switching, an anti-windup and bumpless transfer technique is adopted to the $H_{\infty}$ loop shaping controller. Also the constrained gain-scheduling technique is applied to MBPC to achieve the same objective. Secondly, the fault-tolerant control technique is proposed to continue the control action without stopping the boiler operation even in case of some faults. Through various simulation studies, the performances of the proposed control techniques are demonstrated.

This study presents a genetic algorithm (GA) to design a PID controller systematically for an inchworm operated by piezoelectric actuators. The performance index considering overshoot and settling time is adopted to search an optimal PID gain using GA. The piezoelectric actuator shows nonlinear characteristics including hysteresis and residual displacement. The PID feedback system combined with an integrator is used to improve the ability of tracking the complex input signals and suppressing the steady state error. The PID controller tuned by GA can track the various motion contours effectively. However, the PID controller shows an improper residual vibration under the application of high-frequency square input. The input shaper combined with the feedback system can overcome this limitation of the PID controller.

Quantitative Feedback Theory(QFT) has been used to design a robust power system stabilizer(PSS) to improve transient and dynamic stabilities of a power system. This design technique is basically accomplished in frequency domain. The most important feature of QFT is that it is able to deal with the design problem of complicated uncertain plants. A basic idea in QFT design is the translation of closed-loop frequency-domain specifications into Nichols chart domains specifying the allowable range of the nominal open-loop response and then to design a controller by using the gain-phase loop shaping technique. This paper introduces a new algorithm to compute QFT bounds more efficiently. The propose QFT design method ensures a satisfactory performance of the PSS under a wide range of power system operating conditions.

This paper presents a design method of a robust tracking controller satisfying multiple constraints using genetic algorithm. A robust $H_{\infty}$ constraint with loop shaping is used to address disturbance attenuation with error limits and a loop gain constraint is considered so as not to enlarge the tracking loop gain and bandwidth unnecessarily. The robust $H_{\infty}$ constraint is expressed by a matrix inequality and the loop gain constraint is considered as an objective function so that genetic algorithm can be applied. Finally, a robust tracking controller can be obtained by integrating genetic algorithm with LMI approach. The proposed tracking controller design method is applied to the track-following system of an optical DVD recording drive and is evaluated through the experimental results.
