Analysis of Control System from a Viewpoint of Desired Pole Placement and Desired Degree of Robustness.

Abstract

A design method for solving the problem of robustness to cross-coupling perturbations in multivariable control systems for the X22A V/STOL aircraft is presented in this thesis. The method uses numerical optimization procedures to manipulate the system feedback gains as direct design variables. The manipulation is accomplished in a manner that produces desired performance by pole placement and robustness by modification of the minimum singular values of the system return difference matrix. Channels affected by cross-coupling perturbation may be recognized by the character of their transfer function Bode plots. The mechanism used by the pole placement and robustness routine in obtaining a robust design is evident from the gain changes associated with the transfer function diagram and the zero shifts shown on pole-zero plots. The pole placement and robustness routine uses gain equalization and zero assignment to modify the characteristics of the system in the areas of low singular values, producing a robust design.
