Robust input shaping control for multi-mode flexible structures using neuro-sliding mode output feedback control

摘要

Input shaping provides an effective method for suppressing residual vibration of flexible structure systems. However, it is not very robust to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. In this paper, a closed-loop input shaping method is developed for suppressing residual vibration of multi-mode flexible structure systems with parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed scheme integrates both input shaping control and discrete-time neuro-sliding mode output feedback control (NSMOFC). The input shaper is designed for the reference model and implemented outside of the feedback loop to achieve the exact elimination of residual vibration. In the feedback loop, the discrete-time NSMOFC technique is employed to make the closed-loop system behave like the reference model with input shaper, where the residual vibration is suppressed. The selection of switching surface and the existence of sliding mode have been addressed. The knowledge of upper bound of uncertainties is not required. Furthermore, it is shown that increasing the robustness to parameter uncertainties does not lengthen the duration of the impulse sequence. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed closed-loop input shaping control scheme.
