Systematic Procedures for the H/spl infin/ Controller Design of a Single Flexible Link

摘要

In this paper, we present systematic procedures for the controller design of a single flexible link using the H/spl infin/ optimization method. Our approach provides a coupling of the design knowledge and design algorithms for carrying out the controller design. Design knowledge of the systematic procedures involved has been represented in the knowledge-based development environment of the MEDAL control system design package. The algorithmic procedures for numeric processing are represented as user-defined functions (M-files) in the same control system design package. Hence, MEDAL provides a novel design environment which enables both heuristic and algorithmic knowledge to be integrated for H/spl infin/ control system design.
