Output-feedback adaptive control of a wave PDE with boundary anti-damping

Abstract We develop an adaptive output-feedback controller for a wave PDE in one dimension with actuation on one boundary and with an unknown anti-damping term on the opposite boundary. This model is representative of a torsional stick–slip instability in drillstrings in deep oil drilling, as well as of various acoustic instabilities. The key feature of the proposed controller is that it requires only the measurements of boundary values and not of the entire distributed state of the system. Our approach is based on employing Riemann variables to convert the wave PDE into a cascade of two delay elements, with the first of the two delay elements being fed by control and the same element in turn feeding into a scalar ODE. This enables us to employ a prediction-based design for systems with input delays, suitably converted to the adaptive output-feedback setting. The result’s relevance is illustrated with simulation example.
