ASSERT Supplement: Robust Control Methods
Abstract
This is the final report for research supported under AASERT Grant F49620-93-1-0505 during the period September 1, 1993 through August 31, 1997. This grant supplemented AFOSR Grant F49620-92-J-0014 by providing support for U.S. citizen graduate research assistants. This report summarizes the research achievements that have been made possible by this additional support during the period September 1,1993 through August 31,1997. The goal of the research has been to develop theory and engineering methods to facilate the design of aerospace control systems with a robust tolerance to modeling uncertainty, including nonlinearity, disturbances and unmodelled dynamical perturbations. During the period of the AASERT grant, research effort was broadly focused on developing the theory of extending class of solvable robust control problems and on developing a theory to accommodate the issues that arise in going from experimental data to robust control designs. Significant progress was achieved in advancing the Bilinear Matrix Inequality (BMI) and the Unfalsified Control formulations of robust control problems. Missile and spacecraft design studies demonstrated the potential of these methods.
