Iterative learning control of inhomogeneous distributed parameter systems—frequency domain design and analysis

摘要

This paper aims to construct a design and analysis framework for iterative learning control of linear inhomogeneous distributed parameter systems (LIDPSs), which may be hyperbolic, parabolic, or elliptic, and include many important physical processes such as diffusion, vibration, heat conduction and wave propagation as special cases. Owing to the system model characteristics, LIDPSs are first reformulated into a matrix form in the Laplace transform domain. Then, through the determination of a fundamental matrix, the transfer function of LIDPS is precisely evaluated in a closed form. The derived transfer function provides the direct input–output relationship of the LIDPS, and thus facilitates the consequent ILC design and convergence analysis in the frequency domain. The proposed control design scheme is able to deal with parametric and non-parametric uncertainties and make full use of the process repetition, while avoid any simplification or discretization for the 3D dynamics of LIDPS in the time, space, and iteration domains. In the end, two illustrative processes are addressed to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed iterative learning control scheme.
