Experiments and simulations on the nonlinear control of a hydraulic servosystem

This paper presents the derivation, simulation, and implementation of a nonlinear tracking control law for a hydraulic servosystem. An analysis of the nonlinear system equations is used in the derivation of a Lyapunov function that provides for exponentially stable force trajectory tracking. This control law is then extended to provide position tracking. The proposed controller is simulated and then implemented on an experimental hydraulic system to test the limits of its performance and the realistic effects of friction.
