Abstract
This paper presents a framework for the nonlinear control of dual-stage actuators (DSA). Motivated by various nonlinear controllers that make use of sector bounded and £∞ nonlinearities for the control of saturated linear systems, a methodology for integrating such nonlinear functions in order to improve the performance of DSA is presented. The stability of the closed-loop system is assessed by casting the nonlinearities in a mixed sector-bounded plus quasi-Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) framework, leading to a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to be satisfied by the controller parameters. Taking advantage of the developed framework, a new £∞ function is proposed to avoid the saturation of the secondary actuator. Simulation results illustrate the validity of the proposed framework and its potential for the performance improvement of DSA.
