Industrial structure systems may have nonlinearity, and are also sometimes exposed to the danger of random excitation. This paper proposes a method to analyze response and reliability design of a complex nonlinear structure system under random excitation. The nonlinear structure system which is subjected to random process is modeled by finite element method. The nonlinear equations are expanded sequentially using the perturbation theory. Then, the perturbed equations are solved in probabilistic methods. Several statistical properties of random process that are of interest in random vibration applications are reviewed in accordance with the nonlinear stochastic problem.

In this paper, the open-loop state response of the two-time-scale systems by unified approach using the $\delta$-operator is presented with an example of the aircraft longitudinal dynamics. First, the $\delta$-operator system unifies both the continuous system and the discrete system simultaneously, and the $\delta$-operator approach improves the finite word-length characteristics. This saves more computing time than that of the discrete system. Second, the singular perturbation method by block diagonalization reduces the sizes and orders of the systems. This also reduces the floating-point operations (flops). The advantage of those two approaches is shown by comparing our results with the earlier ones in the illustrative example of the longitudinal motion of F-8 aircraft.

The robust controller for the nuclear reactor power control system is designed. The nuclear reactor is modeled by use of the point kinetics equations and the singly lumped energy balance equations, Since the model is not exact, the controller which can make the actual system robust is necessary. The perturbed plant is investigated by employing the uncertainties of the initial power level and the physical properties, and by introducing the delay into the modeled plant The overall system is configured into the two port model and the H$\infty$ controller is designed. In designing the H$\infty$ controller, two factors of the loop shaping and the permissible magnitude of control input are taken into account The designed controller provides the sufficient margins for the robustness, and the transients of the system output power and the control input satisfy their associated requirement.

Consider the system (i) x'=Ax. Let ${\Phi}$ be its fundamental matrix solution. If there is w>0 such that A(t+w)-A(t) commutes with ${\Phi}$ for all t, then we call this system a "generalized" Floquet system or a "G. F. system". We show that $A(t+w)-A(t)=B_1$=constant if and only if $A(t)=C+B_1t/w+Q(t)$, Q is periodic of period w>0. For this A(t) We prove that if all eigenvalues of $B_1$ have negative real parts, then the origin is asumptotically stable. We find a growth condition for a continuous D(t) which guarantees that all solutions of z'=[A(t)+D(t)]z are bounded if all solutions of the G. F. system (i) are bounded. Combining the foregoing results yield a class of perturbed G. F. operators all of whose solutions are bounded.

The motion of each satellite in a tethered satellite system is non-Keplerian in the Earth's gravitational field. In this paper, the tether perturbation force is formulated and compared with the perturbation force due to the Earth's oblateness. Also, the center of mass motion of the tethered satellite system is analyzed. The tether perturbing force on the one of satellites in a tethered satellite system is much bigger than the Earth's oblateness perturbation. The two-body motion approximation of the center of mass is acceptable to describe the motion of the system, when the libration is small.

According as the controlled plants become more complex and large-scaled, the development of more intelligent control schemes is required in the control field. A fuzzy logic control (FLC) is one of proper schemes for this tendency. Recently, fuzzy control has been applied successfully to many industrial applications due to a number of advantages. But it still has some disadvantages. The conventional FLC has many tuning parameters: membership functions, scaling factors, and so forth. In order to improve this problem, a single-input fuzzy logic control (SFIC) which greatly simplifies the design process of the conventional FLC was proposed. Many research has also been proposed to develop the stability analysis of the FLC. In this paper we analyze the absolute stability of the SFLC. We first expand a nonlinear controlled plant into a Taylor series about a nominal operating point. And a fuzzy control system is transformed into a Lure system with nonlinearities. We also prove that the closed-loop system with the SFLC satisfies the sector condition globally.

This paper designs a robust controller with improved stability of a system. Robust control theory has been developed by many researchers. The controller derived in that using robust control theory has an assumption that it will be exactly implementation. But, It is very hard because of truncation errors, D-A, A-D transformation, and finite resolution, etc. Such perturbations would make problems in the stability of the system. Recently, Keel's paper presents some examples which shows controllers based on the robust controller design method are very fragile on its own perturbation. In this paper, we try to improve the stability of the closed-loop system in which there exist perturbation in the plant as well as in the controller. The results shows that the stability is improved and the performance is still satisfied.

The present work is an attempt to calculate the steady state pressure and perturbed pressure of journal bearings that has a helical groove. A coordinate is fitted to the helical groove and governing equation is derived by applying generalized coodinate system to the divergence formulation method. This method makes it possible to deal with an arbitrary configuration of a lubricated surface. The dynamical response of shaft-bearing system is calculated using the bearing reaction force and external force.

A parameter space approach for robust control system design is developed by reducing several design specifications to sign definite conditions. It is shown that the gain and phase margin constraints for the parametric perturbed plant hold if and only if the four Kharitonov systems satisfy the margins. On pole location, it is shown that D-stability of convex combinations (1-t)p(s)+tq(s) can be determined by the coefficients corresponding to p(s) and q(s) based on the sign definite condition. We show a method of PI-type robust control system design as a useful example.

Robot actuators are significantly important with respect to whole control system performance. This paper presents an adaptive control approach for flexible robot actuators with time-varying spring and damping nature. We first represent a perturbed system model with assumption that its information are partially known. Nominal model reference control method is employed for deriving our adaptive control law. We carry out numerical simulation to evaluate the proposed control system and compare simulation results to a well-known control method for demonstrating its effectiveness.
