Gain scheduled control of hysteretic systems

This paper addresses tracking-control of hysteretic systems using a gain-scheduled (GS) controller. Hysteretic system with variable stiffness and damping is represented as a quasi linear parameter varying (LPV) system. Designed controller is scheduled on the measured/estimated stiffness and damping in real-time. GS controller is constructed from the parameter dependent Lyapunov matrices, which are obtained as optimal solutions of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that ensures the feasibility solution for closed loop system performance. The proposed method is worked on semiactive independently variable stiffness (SAIVS) device. It is shown that the gain-scheduled controller developed for the quasi-LPV system results in excellent tracking performance even in the cases where robust-H∞ controller failed to function.
