The Control of a Simple Inertia.
Abstract
Three types of controllers were developed in this thesis for use with a position-control system which was characterized by a second-order differential equation. One type of controller was linear and continuous. Both examples of this type of controller were each optimal in the sense that they were designed to minimize a specific performance index. The other types were optimal nonlinear on/off controllers, and a linear on/off controller with an optimal slope for its switching line. Theory is presented in detail for the development of the linear on/off controller with optimal slope of its switching line. (Modified author abstract)
