Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This work addresses the application of implementable stabilizing model predictive control (MPC) strategies to a rotary flexible link (RFL). Despite their practice usefulness and design simplicity, the implementation of these stable MPC controllers with guaranteed feasibility in a real experiment, and dedicated to dynamic features of RFL systems, have not yet been documented by the literature. In contrast to conventional finite-horizon MPC strategies, infinite-horizon MPC (IHMPC) techniques ensure nominal closed-loop stability irrespective of the cost function parameters. Also, if these IHMPC strategies have feasible-optimization problem based formulations, such as implementable ones investigated here, their applicability naturally becomes attractive to the industry. Simulation and experimental results illustrate the usefulness of the implementable stabilizing MPC controllers when compared to non-feasible in practice ones, such as a classical infinite-horizon MPC and a conventional finite-horizon generalized predictive controller, thus ensuring their benefits in terms of performance and computational burden in the context of constrained RFL mechatronic systems.
