Response of a class of mechanical oscillators described by a novel system of differential-algebraic equations

Josef Málek, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal, Petra Suková (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

We study the vibration of lumped parameter systems whose constituents are described through novel constitutive relations, namely implicit relations between the forces acting on the system and appropriate kinematical variables such as the displacement and velocity of the constituent. In the classical approach constitutive expressions are provided for the force in terms of appropriate kinematical variables, which when substituted into the balance of linear momentum leads to a single governing ordinary...

Resurgence in a Hamilton-Jacobi equation

Carme Olivé, David Sauzin, Tere M. Seara (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the resurgent structure associated with a Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This equation is obtained as the inner equation when studying the separatrix splitting problem for a perturbed pendulum via complex matching. We derive the Bridge equation, which encompasses infinitely many resurgent relations satisfied by the formal solution and the other components of the formal integral.

Riemannian metrics on 2D-manifolds related to the Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion

Bernard Bonnard, Olivier Cots, Jean-Baptiste Pomet, Nataliya Shcherbakova (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion is a standard mechanical system and it is a model for left-invariant Riemannian metrics on SO(3). In this article using the Serret−Andoyer variables we parameterize the solutions and compute the Jacobi fields in relation with the conjugate locus evaluation. Moreover, the metric can be restricted to a 2D-surface, and the conjugate points of this metric are evaluated using recent works on surfaces of revolution. Another related 2D-metric on S2 associated to the...

Robust decoupling through algebraic output feedback in manipulation systems

Paolo Mercorelli (2010)

Kybernetika

This paper investigates the geometric and structural characteristics involved in the control of general mechanisms and manipulation systems. These systems consist of multiple cooperating linkages that interact with a reference member of the mechanism (the “object”) by means of contacts on any available part of their links. Grasp and manipulation of an object by the human hand is taken as a paradigmatic example for this class of manipulators. Special attention is devoted to the output specification...

Robust neural network control of robotic manipulators via switching strategy

Lei Yu, Shumin Fei, Jun Huang, Yongmin Li, Gang Yang, Lining Sun (2015)

Kybernetika

In this paper, a robust neural network control scheme for the switching dynamical model of the robotic manipulators has been addressed. Radial basis function (RBF) neural networks are employed to approximate unknown functions of robotic manipulators and a compensation controller is designed to enhance system robustness. The weight update law of the robotic manipulator is based on switched multiple Lyapunov function method and the periodically switching law which is suitable for practical implementation...

Robust transitivity in hamiltonian dynamics

Meysam Nassiri, Enrique R. Pujals (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

A goal of this work is to study the dynamics in the complement of KAM tori with focus on non-local robust transitivity. We introduce C r open sets ( r = 1 , 2 , , ) of symplectic diffeomorphisms and Hamiltonian systems, exhibitinglargerobustly transitive sets. We show that the C closure of such open sets contains a variety of systems, including so-calleda priori unstable integrable systems. In addition, the existence of ergodic measures with large support is obtained for all those systems. A main ingredient of...

Rotary inverted pendulum: trajectory tracking via nonlinear control techniques

Luis E. Ramos-Velasco, Javier Ruiz, Sergej Čelikovský (2002)

Kybernetika

The nonlinear control techniques are applied to the model of rotary inverted pendulum. The model has two degrees of freedom and is not exactly linearizable. The goal is to control output trajectory of the rotary inverted pendulum asymptotically along a desired reference. Moreover, the designed controller should be robust with respect to specified perturbations and parameters uncertainties. A combination of techniques based on nonlinear normal forms, output regulation and sliding mode approach is...
