A Modern Control Theory Enhancement to an Interactive Control Engineering Computer Analysis Package (ICECAP).
Abstract
This thesis reports on a continued development of an Interactive Control Engineering Computer Analysis Package (ICECAP). This package applies to discrete and continuous systems. The effort developed and implemented functional requirements involved in modern control theory. This includes implementing matrix operations, a continuous time steady state Riccati solver, polynomial operations, a C(SI - A) B function, and a state variable feedback design function. Major emphasis is placed on the development of the Riccati solver. The approach employed is the eigen number approach. It provides all solutions which is not the case for other methods contained in the current literature. Additionally, a user friendly interface is also developed which permits interactive communication, user assistance and error analysis. Furthermore, the use of keyword/command word interactive technique is also employed. Lastly, and more importantly, the implementation of a state variable feedback design function allows the user to easily apply a pole placement state variable feedback design technique. Additional keywords: ICECAP computer program; VAX 11/780 minicomputer; algorithms; user manuals; computer program documentations; and implementation.
